My Next Chapter Starts NOW…[New Series] | Ep. 447
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show

It shared my 3.5 year period of going through a terribly difficult time that included a debilitating back injury, 2nd knee replacement, sleep apnea diagnosis, being burnt-out, and ultimately exiting Fitness Quest 10 from day-to-day operations.

info_outlineWe are flipping the script today. We have my great friend, fellow mindset coach & high performance leader Andrew Simpson back on the podcast.

- How to lead without leaking your energy
- The warning signs that you’re out of alignment (and how to shift back)
- How to create “stillness systems” in your life and leadership
- Why accountability is the bridge between dreaming and fulfilling your calling
- A challenge to slow down and listen to what God might be whispering to you right now
- What are some of the most common mental blocks or mindset related challenges that you see athletes facing?
