In this conversation, Tim Levy sits with coach and performance strategist Alessandro Sciaraffa to explore a question that lives beneath achievement, ambition, and success: Who are we when the story we’ve been living no longer defines us?

After more than a decade working with elite athletes, leaders, and creators, Alessandro has come to see that our greatest limits are rarely physical or strategic. They are inherited. Formed early. Quietly shaping how we relate to pressure, possibility, and ourselves. He calls them mental containers — the unseen narratives that influence our confidence, relationships, and sense of what is possible.

Together, Tim and Alessandro reflect on childhood conditioning, vulnerability, presence, and the difference between effort and liberation. They explore how performance naturally evolves when we stop trying to outrun old stories — and instead learn to see ourselves with honesty and compassion.

This episode is not about becoming more.
It’s about remembering what was already there.
