Balancing Performance and Pressure... How to be peak in sports, business and life | Rachael Isaac

In this episode, Deacon speaks with Rachael Isaac, a former competitive figure skater turned sports and performance psychologist at CatholicCounselors.com. Rachael shares how the intense pressures of figure skating led her to specialize in helping athletes, executives, and high-performers overcome perfectionism, anxiety, and burnout by building true confidence rooted in faith, discerning God's call, and re-aligning pursuits with meaningful "why" questions inspired by St. Ignatius. The conversation explores practical ways to pursue excellence with peace, challenge unhealthy expectations, and integrate personal gifts, faith, and mission for lasting fulfillment.
