In conversation with Stephen- James Copp: How to Create Your Own Luck | Lessons from Psychology & Success Stories (part 3 of 3)
Welcome to the final part of our special In Conversation trilogy with the UK’s leading psychological performance coach, Stephen-James Copp.
In Episode 1, we explored how the brain is wired and why the stories we tell ourselves matter.
In Episode 2, we uncovered the origins of those stories, from parents and peers to experiences that leave lasting imprints.
And now in Episode 3, we dive into the solutions: how to break free from limiting patterns, how to implement practical tools into your life, and how to turn pain into purpose.
Stephen also shares his deeply personal journey into psychology — from growing up with low self-esteem to navigating the devastating loss of his son, and ultimately dedicating his life to understanding the human mind and helping others transform.
👉 In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why belief is the foundation of lasting change
Practical solutions you can start applying immediately
How to create new data sets and rewrite your narrative
Why success stories (Lady Gaga, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Adam Lambert) are built on persistence, not luck
How to distinguish “overnight success” myths from the years of work behind them
Why famous performers are just normal people who developed exceptional skills
The real meaning behind the Law of Attraction (without the woo-woo)
Why you can become whatever you want to be (with self-awareness of limits)
The truth: you make your own luck, and lucky people are often those who work hardest
The urgent need for belief, inspiration, and positive role models in today’s world
Stephen’s message is both scientific and inspiring: you don’t need to wait for a break, you can create one. By applying consistent effort, reframing setbacks, and building strong daily habits, you can step into the version of yourself you were meant to become.
This episode concludes a journey that took us from awareness → origins → solutions. If you’ve watched the whole trilogy, you now have the clarity, inspiration, and tools to move forward.
