Changing your mind doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re listening.In this episode of Mindset Matters, we’re talking about something many of us struggle with: giving ourselves permission to walk away from things that aren’t working anymore — even when we’ve already invested time, energy, money, or emotion into them.We unpack the sunk cost fallacy — the tendency to stick with something simply because we’ve already put so much into it — and why that mindset can keep us stuck in careers, relationships, routines, and identities that no longer fit.Changing your mind isn’t being flaky.It’s responding to new information.It’s choosing yourself.This episode is an invitation to reflect, slow down, and reconnect with your body’s signals — the quiet knowing that tells you when something is aligned… and when it’s time to pivot.

Today, I’m sharing a new approach to 2026: learning how to flow with purpose instead of resisting life. Let's explore what it actually means to flow with life (and why flow does not mean drifting or giving up). We talk about building simple routines that support your goals, accepting that roadblocks are inevitable, and shifting your mindset so challenges become something you can move with, rather than fight against.We also dive into the power of choosing one guiding word for the year. This could be a value or principle that anchors you when things feel uncertain.

Today we're talking about failure. Let’s dive into how to deal with feelings of failure, those moments when it feels like nothing is working, and the tension between perseverance and giving up. I’ll share how learning to flow with life and trust the direction that feels natural has helped me overcome the frustration of things “not working out.” We’ll explore how to reframe setbacks, listen to the lessons hidden in challenges, and find clarity in times of uncertainty. If you’ve ever felt stuck or questioned whether you’re on the right path, this episode is for you.
