UNSTUCK: The Simple Science of Big Results

  • Ready to level up?

    Learn simple, science-backed tools to achieve peak performance. And the best part? NO MOTIVATION REQUIRED.

    The secret sauce to building confidence, resilience, and a peak-performance mindset is aligning the relationship between the brain and body.

    When it’s time to suit up, show up, and get things done, an untrained mind will sabotage the situation.

    When you feel stuck, many people get hit with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or feelings of “why can’t I just do the thing?"

    But here’s a shocking fact—you don’t need motivation to get unstuck. You don’t need to “just think positive" to overcome procrastination. You don’t need to spend 10 years in psychotherapy to level up your life.

    In situations where split-second decisions make the difference between winning and losing, athletes must rely on a seamless alignment between the mind and body. But mind-body alignment isn’t just for athletes. High-performance in any arena- leading a team, launching a brand, building a life you love—requires the same strategy.

    Drawing upon groundbreaking research from her wildly popular book The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House), licensed neuro-psychotherapist Britt Frank, LSCSW dismantles the myth of motivation— and leaves audiences with actionable, practical, science-backed tools to get unstuck from ANYTHING (no motivation required).
