#382 - THE POWER OF JOURNALING BETWEEN THE JUMPS with Olympian Nicola Olyslagers

I’m thrilled you’re here for this episode - you are in for an incredibly inspiring conversation. My guest is none other than Olympian and silver medal-winning high jumper, Nicola Olyslagers - a remarkable woman whose story will uplift you, whether you’re an athlete, a dreamer, or simply navigating life’s ups and downs. You might know Nicola for leaping over impossibly high bars on the world stage… but what you may not know is that between those jumps, she pulls out a journal and writes. Her journaling practice is simple and powerful - a ritual that helps her reset, stay calm under pressure, and keep her focus exactly where it needs to be. Here are just a few gems you’ll take away: The surprising link between letting go and achieving your biggest dreams - and how surrendering control opened the door to Nicola’s greatest achievements. Why journaling can be your secret performance weapon, whether you’re chasing Olympic gold or simply trying to stay grounded through life’s challenges. How to turn tough moments into opportunities for growth, so you can move forward stronger and more inspired. The importance of enjoying the journey now — not just when you hit the big goal. Nicola’s story is a masterclass in purpose, resilience, and joy. It’s about living intentionally, staying true to what matters, and finding strength in unexpected places. So, grab your favourite drink, pop in your earbuds, and let this conversation remind you that whatever your “Olympics” is - in sport, business, or life - you can pursue it wholeheartedly while loving the process along the way. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.
