A radically new approach to dealing with stress and pressure using scientifically proven techniques from ACT. This is part 2 of my conversation all about how to stop struggling in life, to skillfully become more comfortable being uncomfortable, and find more ease and innate resilience. My guest is Jenna Ashford, former elite hockey player turned psychologist and performance coach. Jenna's work is based on ACT, which I am a huge fan of. She's an experienced meditator too, having completed the ten day vipassana retreat. In this conversation we discuss:

• How to drop the struggle
• How to harness various thought defusion techniques
• How to respond to pressure more skillfully
• Recognising the ways we avoid difficult thoughts and feelings
• How to actively practice acceptance
• Saying 'yes' to difficult thoughts and feelings
• How to 'play in the now'
• How to embrace Being, not just Doing
• What Jenna learnt from her ten day Vipassana retreat

My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself - is now on general release. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found.
