The Fire That Forges It

A few years ago, I worked with an athlete who had all the physical tools.
💪🏼Strong. 🏃🏾‍♀️Fast. 🏋🏿‍♀️Technically sharp. 🔐Committed.
But something wasn’t clicking when it mattered most.

Despite pushing through pain, injury, and setback after setback — they still weren’t performing at the level they knew they were capable of.

And it wasn’t for lack of effort.
They trained harder than anyone.
But inside? They were struggling.

Behind the scenes, they were in emotional turmoil.
Crying in the warm-up area.
Breaking down mid-competition.
Unable to regulate the storm of pressure, self-doubt, and fear that hijacked their body and mind the moment the spotlight hit.

They didn’t need more physical grit.
They needed a system to train their mental toughness the same way they trained everything else.

So we went to work:

  • Regulating emotions with breathwork

  • Building present-moment focus under pressure

  • Creating identity statements to anchor in confidence

  • Reframing setbacks into fuel for growth

  • And training their nervous system to perform — not panic — under intensity

The transformation wasn’t overnight.
But it was undeniable.

That same athlete came back a year later.
Calm😮‍💨. Composed 🧘🏻‍♀️.
And finally competing like the athlete they always knew they could be.

Because mental toughness isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build — rep by rep.

And that’s exactly what the 5-Day Mentally Tougher Challenge gives you:
The tools. The reps. The mental muscle.
So the next time it gets hard, you don’t crumble — you rise.

Who is this for/Not For

This is for you if…

  • You’re already pushing your body and want to push your mind

  • You want tools — not fluff — to perform under pressure

  • You’re done being ruled by nerves or self-doubt

This is not for you if…

  • You’re looking for motivation without doing the work

  • You’re not ready to challenge your comfort zone

Meet the Founder

Marissa Estep
Founder

Hi, I’m Marissa Estep, MS, a Cognitive Performance Specialist with a Master’s in Kinesiology and a concentration in Sport and Performance Psychology.

For years, I’ve worked with high performers in sport, fitness, business, and life — helping them become more resilient and mentally tougher, two of the most crucial skills for long-term success in any arena.

But I don’t just teach it — I live it.

Over the past decade, I’ve pushed my own limits:
🏃‍♀️ Ranked as one of the Top 20 Female Spartan Racers in North America
🏋️‍♀️ Competed in CrossFit (individual and team), marathons, and bodybuilding
💼 Built businesses from the ground up
🔥 Tackled both mental and physical challenges — again and again

Through research, real-world experience, and relentless application, I’ve seen what it truly takes to develop next-level mental toughness.

Now, I want to share that with you — the high performer who trains their body hard… and knows it’s time to train their mind the same way.

That’s why I created the 5-Day Mentally Tougher Challenge.
Because when your mind is strong, your performance becomes unstoppable.
