Confidence & Overcoming Self-Criticism Workshop w/ Erin Ayala
Thee Abundance Project Presents:
Confidence & Overcoming Self-Criticism- Develop unshakeable self-belief
This workshop addresses the inner critic that undermines performance and teaches athletes how to build genuine, sustainable confidence. We’ll cover techniques for managing negative self-talk and strategies for maintaining confidence through slumps and setbacks. Athletes learn to develop a compassionate inner voice that supports rather than sabotages performance.

I will be on the Joy panel at the Trail Nation Summit in Cleveland hosted by the Rails to Trails Conservancy where I have been a board member since 2021.
The panel:
Joy Transforms
In a time of extreme polarization, studies show that America is experiencing a loneliness epidemic. In many communities, trail networks are spaces that spark joy and create a shared community identity, unlocking the key ingredients of place-based transformation that fuels economic growth and quality of life. Together, we’ll explore what it means to leverage joy for impact, building support and inspiring the action needed to make meaningful progress for the nation’s trail networks.
The conference:
The TrailNation Summit is a unique event rooted in deep, hands-on learning, creating an experience where everyone will gain the skills, relationships and action plans they need to put their trail network vision on the fast track.
