Conversations of Inspiration · 2025-11-03 · 1h 15m
In this inspiring episode, Holly Tucker chats with Maya Raichoora - international speaker, author of Visualise and Nike’s first-ever mental fitness trainer - about unlocking the power of training our minds like our bodies. Maya shares how mental fitness and visualisation, a technique once reserved for the top 1% of elite athletes like Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods, helped her overcome ulcerative colitis and thrive. She reveals daily practices that helped rewire her brain, like starting the day with the phrase “Show me how good it gets” and shares the secret to how that helps. She also explores how neuroscience can be the key to building resilience and shaping your mindset for a positive outcome. They discuss reframing happiness as a journey, embracing all experiences and calming imposter syndrome, while sharing Maya’s bold pursuit of her dreams, including becoming Nike’s first mental fitness trainer. Maya encourages us to “live like a predator, not prey” pursuing our goals with courage, focus and determination. This episode shows that our minds aren’t just something we have to accept - they’re something we can nurture, train and get curious about.
