The Role of Purpose in Fulfilment: Exploring Meaning, Neuroscience, and Legacy
Description
Today, I sat down with renowned performance psychologist Katie Mobed, who brings over 20 years of experience working with Olympic athletes, international teams, and corporate leaders. Together, we unpack a wealth of topics, from fearing our potential, to finding balance between purpose and life's small joys—like fairy lights.
Katie shares her journey from a childhood in gymnastics marked by both joy and painful challenges, to becoming an influential voice in sports psychology, advocating for a holistic approach to performance and well-being. We discuss the importance of understanding our true desires and contributions, interweaving personal narratives and professional insights to inspire you on your own path.
The conversation also touches on Katie's reflections on her impact in male-dominated coaching environments, the nuances of balancing purpose with pleasure, and the importance of creating space for meaningful engagement and playful joy. Through humour, heartfelt stories, and profound insights, we highlight how purpose can be a powerful anchor in our lives, offering peace and fulfillment.
Join us as we explore the connections between neuroscience, mindfulness, and the human experience, all while remembering the impact of a valued colleague and the legacy we each leave behind.
