Summary
From martial arts world champion to Hollywood stuntwoman, Marie Mouroum has built a career in the shadows of the spotlight - doubling A-list actors, crashing through walls, flying on wires and performing high-risk action where mistakes are not an option. In this episode live from Berlin, Marie sits down with Jan to talk about the mental side of extreme performance: trusting strangers with your life, staying calm when one take costs millions and accepting that your best work might never show your face or even in the final movie. They dive into what it’s really like working on massive productions like Black Panther, James Bond, and Star Wars - the pressure, the invisibility, the injuries and the discipline required to deliver when everyone else is panicking. Marie opens up about fear, control, journaling, meditation and why calmness is her real superpower. This is a conversation about risk, confidence, and performing under pressure, when going mental doesn’t mean losing control, but finding absolute focus. https://www.frodenogoingmental.com Learn more about your ad choices.
