Welcome to Episode 3 of The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path — the 7-day series on the exact steps my most successful clients took to transform their mental game.

Today's episode: Clarify Your Wins

Janie showed up to one of our coaching calls and shared something powerful. She'd played with a group of golfers who were much younger than her. They were hitting it past her. Scoring lower than her.

And she didn't give up on herself.

She didn't try to swing harder. She didn't play a game that wasn't hers. She just showed up, played her game, and walked off 18 feeling proud.

That was her win. Not her scorecard. The way she showed up.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your brain remembers what stings the most (and how to change that)
• What actually counts as a win (hint: it's not your scorecard)
• How to use the 18Proud™ intention before every round
• Why scanning for process wins rewires your default settings
• The simple practice of writing down ONE win after every round

Welcome to Episode 2 of The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path — the 7-day series on the exact steps my most successful clients took to transform their mental game.

Today's episode: Use Your Tools

Jennifer decided to actually use one of the tools I teach — the CCC tracker (tracking calm, certain, and confident shots).

At first, she was at 67% calm, certain, and confident — and shooting mid-80s.

As she improved that number to 76%, she was shooting low-80s.

Then she hit 92% calm, certain, and confident — and shot 76.

But here's what really drove it home: when she stopped tracking, her numbers went back up.

The tool only worked when she used it.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your tools are the reps for your brain
• The toolkit available inside Your Mental Caddy (Mental Prep Protocol, CCC Tracker, Reality Check, Brain Dump, STEAR)
• Why tools don't work in your head — they work in your hands
• How to pick ONE tool and commit to using it consistently

Welcome to a special 7-episode bonus series: The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path.

I interviewed my most successful clients to find out what actually created transformation for them when nothing else worked. Their answers were surprisingly similar — and I've distilled everything into 7 steps you can follow.

In Episode 1, I'm sharing Kelly's story. Kelly had tried everything — practiced hard, read all the mental game books, knew all the right answers. But nothing was working. In fact, she was getting worse.

When she reached out to me, she'd had enough. The pain of staying stuck had finally become greater than the fear of doing something different. She was 100% committed.

That decision was her real first tee.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why you can't halfway change your golf brain
• Why vulnerability is where confidence actually comes from
• The difference between commitment and perfection
• How to write your Big Why (your anchor when things get hard)

You’re a high achiever. You’ve got confidence, success, and mental toughness in your career, your home or other sports—and yet golf is messing with your head. Why is that? In this episode, we’re talking about the mental game of golf for high performers who are used to crushing it in life, but feel totally thrown off on the course. If you’ve ever wondered why your work confidence doesn’t transfer to the first tee, or why perfectionism is killing your performance, you’re not alone. Golf challenges even the strongest mindsets. I’ll break down why your usual mental strategies backfire, how to stop overthinking every shot, and what to do when golf feels more frustrating than fun. If you want to build real golf confidence, stop judging yourself, and start enjoying the game again—this one’s for you.

Struggling to “just commit” over the ball during a round of golf? You’re not alone. In this episode, Coach Kathy breaks down the 3 steps to true commitment in golf so you can think clearly, stop overthinking, and actually trust your swing. You’ll learn why commitment is a mental game skill, not a command — and how to get your brain into a calm, certain, confident state before every shot.

When you commit to every shot, your golf swing becomes freer, your decisions get better, and your results finally match your potential. 💪

Ever had a great round going until someone says, “Wow, you’re playing amazing today,” and suddenly… you can’t find the fairway? Yep, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I talk about what really happens in your brain when someone mentions your score, your swing, or even the trouble up ahead—and why you can’t seem to shake it once you’ve heard it. I’ll walk you through how to take back control, stop giving other people the keys to your mental game, and stay focused on your shot, not their words.

We’ll unpack why the words people say on the golf course are neutral until you make them mean something. And once you learn to manage that, you’ll play freer, calmer, and way more confident golf.

So next time someone says, “You’re playing great,” you’ll smile, stay steady, and finish strong.
