About Barb Kornbrath
If stress and fear can spread, so can mental fitness.Hi, I’m Barb. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just plain exhausted from carrying the weight of everything—I see you.
I know what it’s like to run on stress, constantly overthink, and feel like you should have it all together—but instead, you’re barely keeping up.
For years, I believed that if I just worked harder, anticipated every problem, and controlled everything, life would feel easier. Instead, I was exhausted, anxious, and stuck in survival mode.
But here’s what I’ve learned: Your mind is either working for you or against you. And you get to decide which.
That’s where mental fitness comes in. It’s not about “just thinking positive”—it’s about training your brain to handle stress, conflict, and uncertainty with clarity and calm instead of frustration and fear.
I can’t do the work for you, but I will guide you, support you, and help you build the mental muscles that make life easier.
Because if fear and stress can spread, so can calm, confidence, and resilience. Let’s start there.
My Story (AKA: Why I Do This Work)
For years, I lived in reactive mode—constantly stressed, trying to control everything, always feeling like I was falling short.
I wish I had known then what I know now:
💡 That stress and overwhelm aren’t a given—they’re just patterns we can change.
💡 That peace of mind isn’t about life getting easier—it’s about getting mentally stronger.
💡 That mental fitness is a trainable skill, just like physical fitness.
When I finally learned how to rewire my brain for clarity, calm, and confidence, everything shifted. Now, I help others do the same—so they don’t have to stay stuck in the stress cycle like I did.
What Makes Me Different?

This isn’t about forcing positivity. It’s about training your mind to stay strong, no matter what’s happening around you.
No Judgment, Just Support
I’ve been where you are. There’s no shame here—just a safe space to learn, grow, and take back control.
