Specializing in anxiety and depressive disorders, leadership and team building, relationship challenges, imposter syndrome, and confidence, Anna has supported hundreds of corporate and individual clients.

Her podcast features discussions and interviews on mental health and wellness. Anna’s success extends to the world of triathlons, where she is a medaled and sponsored athlete with hundreds of races to her name. Her experience in the sport has honed her skills in mental flexibility, focus, and endurance, further enhancing her capabilities as a life coach and therapist. Believing that every human deserves a deeply fulfilling life, Anna meets clients where they are and equips them with the tools to thrive.
In this episode, Neal Conlon and Anna Marcolin discuss:
- The significance of mental toughness in triathlons and the correlation with everyday resilience
- The value of coaching for structure and accountability in achieving personal growth and success
- Strategies for organizing life systematically to enhance productivity and reduce stress
- The sobering perspective on society's obsession with longevity and the traps of wellness fads
- Understanding the shift in substance use from communal rituals to potentially isolating behaviors
Key Takeaways:
- A robust mental state is as crucial in competitive sports as it is in overcoming life's everyday hurdles, and having a coach can be an asset in both arenas.
- Implementing structured coaching principles into your daily routine can be the key to managing stress and fostering organizational success.
- Instead of relentlessly chasing wellness extremes, it's important to recognize the significance of balance and the joy found in moderation and pleasure.
- Addressing loneliness and its impact on mental health is vital, as is distinguishing between the action-oriented approach of coaching and the treatment focus of psychotherapy.
- For mental health professionals, engaging in their therapy or coaching is paramount to maintaining objectivity and effectiveness when working with clients.
"We often overlook the simple, systematic approaches that can substantially improve our daily lives, just as they do in medical practice or triathlon training.” — Anna Marcolin
