Ongoing Self-Care with Dr. Nicole Detling
In this podcast episode of Bridging the Gap, hosted by Utah Behavior Services, we sat down with Dr. Nicole Detling (a renowned mental performance coach with 24 years of experience working with Olympic athletes) and Braydon Coleman to discuss the 2024 Olympics and ask questions from our recent Self-Care Summit.
The conversation delves into the correlation between Olympic-level preparation and everyday challenges, highlighting how we can all work towards our own “personal gold medal.” Dr. Nicole shared inspiring stories from her time working with Olympians and ParaOlympians, explaining the resilience, discipline, and mindset required to achieve success. This discussion emphasizes that, while Olympic athletes may seem extraordinary, they face many of the same personal struggles we all do, including overcoming trauma, adversity, and societal pressures.
Dr Nicole’s expertise in supporting both athletes and corporate leaders alike shines through, with practical strategies for mental resilience, understanding individual “secret sauce” for success, and focusing on long-term growth, both personally and professionally. She underscores the importance of mindset in approaching challenges and offers listeners actionable tips on how to integrate self-care into their daily routines.
We also addressed listener questions, providing advice on overcoming barriers, maintaining self-respect in difficult environments, and focusing on the small things that can make a difference. Dr. Nicole’s personal stories and expertise make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to improve performance in their personal or professional life.
The episode wraps up with a reflection on the key takeaways from the recent Self-Care Summit, with Boston, Dr. Nicole and Braydon encouraging listeners to continue reflecting on their self-care practices and to find those small, daily moments that can fill their cups.
