In the latest episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Holly Johnson, a dedicated sport mom, coach, and member of our PerformHappy community. Holly shares her powerful journey of navigating mental blocks with her daughter, a tumbler and dancer.
As a former athlete herself, Holly has experienced the highs and lows that come with guiding a young athlete through the challenges of sports.

Now, she’s on the other side of that journey, with valuable insights to share.
If your child is struggling with long-term mental blocks or if you're a parent navigating these challenges, this episode is for you. Holly’s candid reflections offer practical advice on what your athlete really needs to achieve a breakthrough and how to adapt as confidence ebbs and flows throughout their career.
I hope Holly’s story inspires you as much as it did me. Enjoy the episode!
