From the Streets of South Africa to a Storyteller: Rodney Reynders on Failure, Coaching, and Why Your Anxiety Might Be Excitement in Disguise
In this episode, Nick chats with Rodney Reynders - an incredible human with a background in psychology, coaching, finance, and a not-so-typical childhood that included surviving on the streets of South Africa.
Rodney unpacks how our biggest failures often carry the richest information—if we're brave enough to look. He shares coaching strategies that help clients reframe stress, build emotional awareness, and transform self-sabotage into growth.
We also get a sneak peek into his powerful children’s book "Troy and His Truth Triggers," which helps kids (and adults) better understand and regulate their emotions.
⚠️ And at around 48 minutes, he goes into unexpected coach-mode!
This is one of those conversations that stays with you.
🎧 Topics include:
Emotional awareness tools for adults and kids
Turning anxiety into excitement
Using failure as a launching pad
The problem with New Year’s resolutions
ADHD as a superpower
Why coaching deserves more credit
