Be Your Best or Change It | Alison Tetrick | The Sean Trace Show

Be Your Best or Change It | Alison Tetrick | The Sean Trace Show

In this episode, I sit down with professional cyclist Alison Tetrick for a conversation about resilience, confidence, ranch life, and what it really means to keep showing up when life gets hard.  Alison shares how growing up on a ranch shaped her mindset, teaching her independence, problem-solving, imagination, and the kind of toughness that does not always come from traditional sports. We talk about failure, fear, crashing, chasing big dreams, and why being nervous can actually mean you care deeply about what you are doing. Alison also opens up about learning to lose, rebuilding after hard moments, and the powerful advice from her grandfather: be your best or change it.  I loved this conversation because it was not just about cycling. It was about raising strong kids, staying creative, surrounding yourself with people who believe in your potential, and refusing to let society put you in a box. What is one lesson from your childhood that still shapes the way you handle challenges today?

Win The Morning | Claire Nesbitt | The Sean Trace Show

In this episode, I sit down with Claire Nesbitt - hybrid performance coach, Hyrox ambassador, and former wine critic, for a conversation about what it actually takes to level up in fitness, career, and life.  Claire shares how she went from management consulting to sommelier to competitive Hyrox athlete, and why following your passion doesn't have to mean throwing away your stability. We get into the psychology of discipline, how to build routines that remove the mental cost of showing up, and why fear of failure is often the only thing standing between where you are and where you want to be. Claire also opens up about training through injury, the importance of recovery, and how setting small, specific goals is the real engine behind long-term progress.  Whether you're trying to get consistent at the gym, make a career pivot, or just feel like you're moving forward again, this episode will give you something to work with. What's one goal that you've been putting off because it feels too far away to start?

The Story That's Keeping You Small | Ivy Forero | The Sean Trace Show

I sat down with Ivy Forero, a Colombian-American living in Dubai, and one of the most insightful people I've had the chance to talk to. We explored why the human brain is wired for fear, how the amygdala keeps us stuck in survival mode, and why so many of the stories we believe about ourselves aren't actually true. Ivy breaks down the neuroscience behind self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and resistance. We talk about why doing something hard can feel ten times heavier than it really is, how childhood identities quietly shape our adult lives, and why optimism isn't about ignoring reality, it's about training your mind to see possibility. We also dive into habits, meditation, movement, environment, and the powerful impact of the people you surround yourself with. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're capable of more than you're currently living, this conversation will challenge the way you think about yourself and the stories running in the background of your life. Your brain may be trying to protect you. It may also be holding you back. The question is: which voice are you listening to?

No One Is Coming To Save You | The Sean Trace Show

Sometimes the hardest realization in life is understanding that nobody is coming to rescue you. Not your boss. Not motivation. Not the perfect opportunity. Not luck. In this episode of The Sean Trace Show, Sean talks about responsibility, discipline, resilience, consistency, and what it really takes to change your life when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, tired, or unmotivated.

If you've been waiting for a sign to start, this might be it.
