Hey friends, it's Dora here. Let's be real. Bedtime can feel like a constant battle.

The tantrums, the stalling, the screen fatigue, it's a lot. That's why we created Wiggle to Wind Down,

a brand new kid's sleep podcast from Headspace and Cocoa Mellon. Each episode helps your little one move,

breathe, and settle into a soothing bedtime story so they can relax and you can finally exhale.

Search for Wiggle to Wind Down wherever you get your podcast and make bedtime a little easier for everyone.

If you want to be the best at whatever you do, it's about learning about human behavior and

what drives human behavior. And it's the heart. And the heart has some deep needs. And the

deepest need is for love and connection. Hi, everyone. it's Rosie here. Welcome back to Radio Headspace.

So what does it actually mean to be excellent? And more importantly, is it something we're born with

or something we can train? My guest today is Jim Murphy, bestselling author and performance

coach to some of the most incredible people in the world.

Today, he's going to break down how you can be the absolute best version of yourself.

I really hope you enjoy it.

Jim, thank you so much for joining us today on Radio Headspace.

I'm so excited to have this conversation with you because I'm familiar with your work and I'm familiar

with your book. And I think it would be so valuable for our listeners to get a little bit of

background on you and yeah, like how you got to this place of coaching and talking about

excellence. So the first question I want to ask you is, what does it mean to be

excellent? Yeah, great question. Thanks, Rosie. And thanks for having me. I'm grateful to be here.

When I think about excellence, I think about nine characteristics of inner excellence and of the

best possible life. And those characteristics are love and peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, and self-control.
