Meet Chelsea

Chelsea Pottenger knows what it's like to achieve at the highest level and what it costs when you don't protect your mental health along the way.

As a Division 1 Basketball athlete in Oklahoma, Chelsea learned early what high performance demanded: discipline, resilience and relentless drive. She carried that competitive mindset into corporate leadership, where she thrived in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment that rewards results above all else.

Then, in 2015, following the birth of her daughter, everything unravelled. Chelsea experienced severe postnatal depression, a turning point that forced her to confront the fact that the way she had been achieving success, was unsustainable.

Her recovery became her education. Chelsea retrained, earning a graduate degree in psychology and becoming an accredited Mindfulness & Meditation coach. But more importantly, she discovered you don't have to sacrifice your mental health to perform at a high level. When you build the right mental foundation, you perform better for longer, without burning out.

That insight became her mission. 

Today, as founder of EQ Minds and author of The Mindful High Performer, Chelsea has trained over 2 million people globally through keynotes and workshops. She's a Mental Health Ambassador for Gidget Foundation Australia and is a media contributor to Sunrise, ABC News, Channel 9, and Marie Claire.

 

Chelsea has helped high performers build sustainable success around the world. And she can show your team how to do the same.

“High performance shouldn’t cost your mental health.”
