Episode 23 - Kiesza on Performing as a Superstar A very special episode with a Canadian (and a little bit of Norwegian) artist, Kiesa Rae Ellestad. Kiesza broke through globally with Hideaway — only to face a sudden neurological injury that forced her to step away from the spotlight at the peak of her career. In this conversation, we go beyond the headlines and talk about what happens when the body fails, the identity cracks, and the mind is forced to adapt. We explore: * What it’s really like to lose control in a high-performance career * The psychological cost of fame and constant expectations * Injury, recovery, and rebuilding confidence from zero * Creativity, discipline, and mental resilience * How to perform again when fear, doubt, and uncertainty are present This episode is for athletes, artists, performers, coaches, and anyone navigating pressure, burnout, or a forced reset in life. 🎧 A conversation about mental strength, vulnerability, and the long road back. Told with honesty, without clichés, but with humour and some diversions. Kiesza, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy!

Episode 22 - Ethics in Sport Psychology

Episode 22 - Ethics in Sport Psychology In this episode, I share insights into the limitations of Sport Psychology and reflections on when an athlete becomes a patient due to psychological illnesses. This episode is inspired by the psychologist and sport psychologist Dr. Henrik Herrebroden and his keynote on ethics.

[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37485002/] I am also sharing reflections on solutions raising the common question: Should the Sport Psychologist Consultant stop the collaboration with the athlete with a psychological illness? Or should the Sport Psychologist Consultant continue the alliance? Listen and give me YOUR opinion.

Drawing on insights from Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen’s acclaimed book Thank You for the Feedback, Daniel explores how the ability to take feedback well — not just give it — is a defining marker of growth, adaptability, and elite performance. You’ll learn: * 🎯 Why success depends more on how you receive feedback than how it’s delivered * 🧩 The three types of feedback (Appreciation, Coaching, Evaluation) — and how to tell them apart * ⚡ The three psychological triggers that block learning, and how to manage them * 🧭 How to distinguish coaching from judgement to avoid defensiveness * 🌱 Why feedback is information, not identity — and how to use it as fuel for progress Packed with practical strategies, psychological theory, and reflective questions, this episode helps you transform feedback from something you fear into something you leverage. Whether you’re an athlete, leader, or professional seeking growth, this conversation will help you shift from reaction to reflection — and turn every piece of feedback into an opportunity to get better. 🎧 Listen now — and learn how to turn critique into clarity, and pressure into progress. 🔗 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/danielosen [https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielosen] ☕ Support the show: www.buymeacoffee.com/danielosen 🌐 Website: www.mentaltrenerosen.no 🎧 More episodes: Mind Set Go on Spotify
