“How can I use visualization to achieve my goals?” “How do I train my mind like an athlete?” “How can I push my limits without burning out?”
And the biggest question of all:
“How do I actually make my ‘one day’ dreams happen?”
If that sounds like you, you’ve found your show.
Welcome to Make One Day Happen, where neuroscience collides with “woo-woo” and high performance meets mind-body connection.
Hosted by Shenna Jean — Visualization Coach, Founder & Chief Vision Officer of Make One Day Happen — this podcast helps athletes, leaders, and high performers learn how to regulate their nervous system, mindset, and energy so they can achieve their biggest “one day” dreams.
Each episode blends visualization, sound frequency, leadership development, and simple practices for your nervous system through a mix of solo sessions and engaging conversations with professional athletes, award-winning musicians, bestselling authors, CEOs, and thought leaders. Together, we explore how energy hygiene, performance & recovery, and mental health intersect to create the conditions for sustainable success.
Whether you’re chasing championships, leading teams, or leveling up in life, every episode you’ll walk away with science-backed tools, fresh perspective, and new tools & protocols to elevate your energy from the inside out.

And we dive into finding your purpose and super powers in life, something we all need to be focused on.
