Erin Whitehead, a brain health expert and CEO of Ambitious AF, shares her journey from surviving a traumatic car accident to coaching Navy SEALs on mastering attention through neurobiology.
• Survived a car crash in 2007 where another driver attempted suicide, leaving Erin with a traumatic brain injury
• Made a spiritual promise after her near-death experience that took a decade to fulfill
• Left traditional employment after being fired from every job and launched her own coaching business
• Now teaches Navy SEALs and other high performers the neurobiology of decision-making
• Works specifically with selective attention in the parietal lobe of the brain
• Believes mental toughness is not offensive and not optional
• Advocates for a "zero deviation" mindset - treating every day as Day One regardless of past success
• Rigorously vets clients for her coaching program to maintain high standards
• Recommends four daily critical tasks: one-word foods, physical activity, supplements, and quality sleep
• Recently discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and finds it empowering for situational awareness
• Emphasizes the connection between physical health and brain function
