• Drop the Dumbass Golf Talk and Boost Your Confidence

  Join Your Mental Caddy and start playing to your potential today: https://YourMentalCaddy.comEver call yourself a dumb ass after a bad shot and shrug it off like it’s no big deal? Hate to break it to you, but your brain doesn’t think it’s funny. In this episode, I’m sharing a story about my client who decided to drop her self-trash talk for just one round—and everything changed. She didn’t magically shoot a career low, but she actually enjoyed herself, felt proud, and even stuck around to socialize (instead of bolting to her car in shame).We’ll talk about why every word you say to yourself matters, how negative self-talk is just a habit you can break, and why your golf game doesn’t define who you are. Ready to play 18 proud without the self-inflicted bruises?

• When You Can't Get Back to Positive on the Golf Course

  You don’t have to be calm to play good golf—you just have to stop spiraling. In this episode, we’re talking about the emotional detour most golfers need but rarely take: neutral.Forget forcing positivity or faking chill. That doesn’t work (and your brain knows it). Instead, I’ll show you how to recognize when you're in a mental spin, and how to shift into neutral—a place that’s steady, honest, and totally playable.This is the mindset move that keeps your round (and your head) from going off the rails.New to the podcast?
