265 The Art of Pacing - Elizabeth Svoboda on Flow, Recovery, and Sustainable Excellence

What if the goal isn't to work harder, but to find the right pace?

In this episode, I talk with science writer Elizabeth Svoboda, author of The Art of Pacing, about flow, energy management, recovery, and the habits that help high performers sustain excellence without burning out.

You'll hear about:

• Why pacing matters more than most people realize

• How to create the conditions for flow in practice and performance

• What elite performers understand about recovery, resilience, and long term success

If you're tired of feeling like your performances don't consistently reflect what you're capable of, let's talk.

Whether you're preparing for auditions, navigating performance pressure, rebuilding confidence, or looking for more freedom and consistency on stage, I'd love to help.
