Welcome to Untangle. I'm Patricia Carpice. Today we have a great encore episode with

Kara Bradley, a yoga and mindfulness teacher dedicated to transforming human potential. She's also

a mental strength coach and the author of the book On the Verge, Wake Up, Show Up, and Shine.

Her focus is on finding the flow state and on mental fitness. In this discussion, Kara

shares many of the strategies and practices. She's used with winning athletes, integrating mindfulness

practices with mental strength training for college football and basketball players for several universities.

I thought this was timely since we just watched the Olympics and I was mesmerized by the amazing ability the athletes had to focus.

I long for that myself. Kara was an award-winning skater in her

earlier days and learned so much about mental training habits during that time. As always,

we're untangle, the podcast from Muse, the Brain Sensing Headband dedicated to unlocking your brain's

Thanks, Patricia.

Thanks for having me.

I'm most interested in your mental strength training and how you use mindfulness in that.

And I know that those words resonate in almost everything that you do.

But tell me a little bit about how you got into this, what you're calling mental strength

training.

Tell us a little bit about what is that?

Firstly, I'll just backtrack just a little bit to say that I've been an athlete my whole

life and I started out as a figure skater.
