Welcome to Episode 118! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach & Educator Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. The episode starts off with a discussion of this year's WSOP which is kicking off, but sadly neither host will be attending.

Then they turned their attention to a question sent in by a listener who recently experienced the death of his adult child. He wanted some advice on how to keep his focus at the table while grieving a major loss. The tips given in this episode are valid for all kinds of losses like breakups, death, job losses and the like.


Topics covered include:
●A brief overview of the states of grief and how they can manifest themselves
●How to effectively deal with grief
●Why it’s important not to try to discount your feelings & to show yourself compassion
●Concrete strategies to deal with grief (journaling, emotional support, etc.)
