“I Get To Do This”: Discipline, Faith & Becoming Your Best with Donny Joshua-Felix
Descripción del Episodio
Today on the Stay Tranquilo Podcast, Andre sits down with Donny Joshua-Felix — performance coach at DBC, lifelong runner and former Howard University soccer player — for a real conversation about identity, faith, discipline, and the mindset it takes to actually become the person you say you want to be.
From growing up in a Haitian Christian household (grandfather a pastor, dad a church musician) to chasing PRs, missing them, and learning not to attach self-worth to results, Donny breaks down the habits and reframes that changed his life: “I don’t have to — I GET to.” We get into stillness, gratitude, journaling, the “no snooze” rule, teaching youth athletes, and why choosing the harder right (over the easier wrong) builds real self-trust.
If you’re into mindset, performance, faith, running, or just need a reset on your daily standards, this one’s for you.
In this episode you’ll learn:
The power of “I get to” — turning discipline into gratitude-driven action
Why perfection is a trap and how to detach identity from outcomes
Simple daily wins that stack confidence (no-snooze, make your bed, move your body)
How to use stillness/meditation to hear your intuition again
Reframing self-talk: replacing limiting labels with identity statements
Coaching youth athletes to be resilient humans first, players second
What to do when you’re “doing everything right” and still not hitting goals
Highlights & Topics
Faith & family roots → leadership and service
Howard University soccer → performance coach at DBC
Running mindset: smiling through pain, training without ego
The “future you” filter: will you be proud of this choice tonight?
Social media courage: sharing your story to help one person is enough

Blunt Force Trauma
By shows
Blunt Force Trauma is a new serialised investigation into the unsolved murder of Faithe Ely, from EchoSpace and host Troy Taylor (from award winning podcast Among The Missing). On March 28, 2021, Faith Ely was found lifeless on the side of a dark Oklahoma highway, her death quickly being ruled a hit and run. But the evidence doesn’t line up. The injuries don’t tell a clear story. And the more you dig, the harder it becomes to make sense of the official narrative. What should be a straightforward accident begins to feel anything but…
