Karen Bonet-Natraj, mental fitness and peak performance coach and founder of The Mental Fitness Edge, explores this with Sherris, author of The Peace of Mind Blueprint and a practitioner of psychospiritual hypnosis. Together, they uncover how hidden beliefs, emotional wounds, and subconscious patterns can affect your mental and physical performance. Sharris also shares how she helped a college tennis player use visualization across 3 hypnosis sessions to mentally rehearse the performance he wanted. Can Running Help You Stop Overthinking? Running isn't just about fitness. It can create space to process stress, quiet mental noise, and gain clarity. Karen shares how running has helped her step away from stressful situations and return with new ideas and solutions. The conversation explores running for mental health, running for anxiety, running for stress relief, breathing, visualization,self-compassion, and mental rehearsal. If you've ever thought, "I just want my brain to shut up," this conversation offers a different way to approach your next run. You'll also discover how old beliefs can shape automatic reactions, why familiar patterns can feel safer than healthier ones, and how awareness can help you respond rather than simply react. Most importantly, sustainable change isn't about someone else "fixing" you. Coaches and practitioners can provide guidance, tools, and support, but you play an active role in your own healing and growth.
