82. How to Let Go of Expectations + Improve Your Self-Talk feat. Paige Tonz

Today’s guest is Paige Tonz—a former D1 athlete and coach helping transform girls into strong women beyond the playing field or court. Paige has worked with 1000+ athletes in her programs and workshops. She believes girls have so many opportunities to dream bigger than they ever imagined. Because sports was and still is such a big part of Paige's life, she has had a first-row ticket to see how the experiences from sports can be a vessel to success in life on and off the field. (bio via paigetonz.com) Paige's website: https://www.paigetonz.com/ (https://www.paigetonz.com/) Paige's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paigetonz/ (https://www.instagram.com/paigetonz/) TOPICS + Shifting your expectations to be process-based and about things you can control + Expectation hangover + Test anxiety + the difference between truly learning vs. trying to pass a test + The importance of asking those you look up to for advice and insight + Steps you can take today to improve your self-confidence + Paige's resource recommendations for teens looking to improve self-esteem + self-talk MENTIONED + https://tscpodcast.com/episodes/238-ed-mylett/ (Ed Mylett on TSC) + https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250175267?ref=exp_shepersistedpodcast_dp_vv_d (Choose Wonder Over Worry by Amber Rae) + https://www.alphagirlconfidence.com/podcasts/the-alpha-girl-confidence-podcast (Alpha Girl Confidence) + https://www.paigetonz.com/free (Paige's Self-Talk Practice) SHOP GUEST RECOMMENDATIONS: https://amzn.to/3A69GOC (https://amzn.to/3A69GOC) EPISODE SPONSOR ⚡️This week's episode is brought to you by https://my.captivate.fm/magicmind.co/persisted (MagicMind)!
