In this episode of Psych for Life, I chat with Tom Mitchell, Ph.D. who has spent his adult life coaching and teaching others how to discover their unique, greatness within. His passion for exploring the boundaries of performance excellence began as an athlete in his native Pennsylvania. His avid study of sport psychology, motivation, and leadership, has led Tom to a richly varied career as a college coach and professor, motivational speaker, NBA sport psychology counselor, business coach and team building consultant.

Using many of the mental training practices that are found in athletics, he skillfully integrates sport psychology principles into business. Speaking passionately about the intangibles or "soft skills" found in highly successful teams and leaders, Tom teaches us how to practice these intangibles and create a winning culture.

- Why having clarity is important for elite performance and achieving goals

In this episode of Psych for Life, I chat with author Alina Bellchambers.

Alina grew up in her family’s bookstore and spent a childhood immersed in fantastical worlds. She now writes twisty thrillers and epic fantasies featuring morally grey characters, seductive court intrigue and powerful heroines. The first book in her fantasy duology, The Order of Masks, published in 2024 became a national Dymocks and indie bookstore bestseller. It was followed by The Weight of Crowns in 2025.

Alina has a degree in psychology and is fascinated by neurodivergence, having been diagnosed as autistic herself. Most recently she acted in Hilltop Hoods’ music video The Gift and acclaimed horror film Bring Her Back.

Listen in to our chat on -

• Her Autistic experience, not diagnosed until she was 29yrs old
• Writing as a form of therapy and how she has managed her lifestyle after being diagnosed as autistic to better facilitate my neurological differences.
• The experience of Aphantasia - a condition where she can’t see in mental pictures - and how that impacts her writing

And so much more.
