In this Friday follow-up to Carrie’s interview with Mikayla Jai, Greg breaks down the neuroscience and psychology behind real transformation: identity, decision-making, nervous system regulation, and the courage to move before you feel “ready.” You’ll hear why “ready” is often a lie your brain uses to protect you, how an athlete's mindset blends discipline with recovery, and how micro-actions build a new identity over time. This episode ends with a practical challenge to stop negotiating with your goals and start honoring your decisions — one day at a time.

What does it take to say yes before you feel ready?

In this episode of Project You 2.2, Carrie sits down with mindset coach Mikayla Jai to explore courage, identity, and the moments that quietly shape who we become.

From early responsibility and teenage resilience to leading with calm under pressure, Mikayla shares how trusting yourself before the proof arrives can change everything. Together, they reflect on a transformative retreat in Italy and Greece — filled with unexpected challenges, laughter, and powerful lessons in composure, leadership, and self-trust.

This conversation explores the mindset shifts that enable you to stop waiting for permission, release self-doubt, and step into the version of yourself that can foster growth, success, and abundance.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling a pull toward something new, or wondering if you’re “ready,” this episode is your reminder: the courage you’re looking for may already be inside you.

Listen, lean in, and take the leap anyway.

In this Friday follow-up to Carrie’s interview with Rachael Gray (105.3 Hot FM), Greg explores what it really means to show up fully without losing yourself.

If you’ve ever been labeled “too much,” exhausted by expectations, or unsure how to protect your energy while staying authentic, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded challenge for the week ahead.
