Before Disneyland became the Happiest Place on Earth, it was just dirt, orange groves, and a dream most people didn’t believe in. In Part One of this Disneyland Handcrafted series, I share a powerful mindset lesson inspired by watching the documentary inside Disneyland itself standing in the very place that once existed only as an idea. This episode is all about reframing the negative: Why criticism isn’t a stop sign Why people love to magnify cracks in your story And how Walt Disney use...

In this episode of the Disney Magical Mindset Podcast, we explore Walt Disney’s advice that still challenges us today: “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” You’ll hear the powerful true story of the weekend that turned Disneyland from an idea into a sketch, and why starting before you feel ready is often the secret to making progress.

This week in our Top Podcast Countdown of 2025, we’re at #2 and we’re flying Off to Neverland. In this episode, I revisit the very first podcast I ever recorded and the lesson that started it all: the magic of Disney doesn’t end when you leave the parks. Through Peter Pan and the power of happy thoughts, we explore how Neverland isn’t a place you escape to, it’s a mindset you carry with you. If you’ve ever wished you could hold onto that Disney feeling a little longer, this episode is your re...
This week in our Top Podcast Countdown of 2025, we’re at #3 and this one surprised a lot of people. A Goofy Movie isn’t just a fun ’90s Disney classic. It’s a story that grows up with you. What felt silly and light as a kid now feels deeply emotional as an adult, especially if you’re a parent, a dreamer, or someone realizing how fast time really moves. In this episode, we unpack three powerful life lessons from A Goofy Movie: – Why dreams don’t always take the straight path – How real co...
Today we’re kicking off the year-end countdown with one of the most replayed episodes of 2025, the one that reminds you to stop staring at the dirt and start seeing the castle. Walt stood in an empty orange grove and saw Disneyland long before it existed. That mindset, imagining your future so clearly that it feels real, is the same shift that can change your entire life. In this episode, we break down why your thoughts carry more power than you realize, how to silence the villain in your hea...
For the final episode of the year, we’re closing things out with one of Walt Disney’s most underrated statements: “It’s all been a dress rehearsal...we’re just getting started.” In this episode, we break down why this line from Walt is the perfect mindset to carry into 2026. We talk about why this year wasn’t a failure or a setback, but preparation. Training. A warm-up for the magic you’re about to step into. I’ll walk you through three big ideas: why everything you lived through this year wa...
In this Thanksgiving-week episode, we’re diving into the one mindset shift that can change your entire story: gratitude. From Walt Disney’s wisdom to the magic of the old school FastPass, we’re unpacking how gratitude can lift you out of comparison, re-route your mindset, and bring joy back into the moments you’ve been rushing through. If life’s been feeling a little heavy or “off track,” this episode will help you slow down, breathe again, and rediscover the magic in front of you. I want to ...
This week, we’re talking about the trap that steals more joy than anything else: living life on rewind or fast-forward. Most of us are either replaying yesterday or bracing for tomorrow… and then wondering why we can’t feel any magic in the moment we’re actually standing in. In this episode, we dig into the research (spoiler: 91% of what you worry about never happens), the mindset, and the Disney wisdom that can pull you out of the past and the future, and bring you back to today. You’ll hear...
Ever feel like life went from calm lagoon energy to Matterhorn chaos in about three seconds? Same. In this episode, we’re talking about the “Matterhorn moments” of life—the seasons where you’re getting tossed around, everything feels out of control, and you start questioning every decision that got you here. But the bumps don’t mean you’re off track, they mean you’re moving. We break down: why the rough parts are proof you’re on the right ridewhat Walt Disney understood about failure an...
I rode Dumbo at Disneyland recently and something hit me mid-flight. I remembered, Dumbo didn’t start flying because he held the feather. He started flying when he lost it. Because that’s when he finally realized: The magic wasn’t in the feather. It was already in him. And the same is true for you. In this episode, we talk about: Why belief shows up after you take action, not beforeHow fear disguises itself as “waiting for the right moment”The “feathers” we cling to: approval, perfection, tim...
This week we’re calling out the real villain in your story: fear. Not the jump-scare kind, the sneaky kind. The kind that whispers: • “What will people think?” • “What if I fail?” • “What if everything goes wrong?” Fear isn’t a wall, it’s a doorway. An invitation to something greater. And the magic you want? It’s on the other side. In this episode, we break down the three fears that keep people stuck and how to take your power back–Disney style. We'll also look at a powerful lesson from...
Halloween’s almost here, so we’re heading straight into one of Pixar’s most powerful films, Coco. Yeah, it’s colorful and fun, filled with family, music, and marigolds…but underneath it all, Coco is about legacy. About chasing your dream when nobody understands it. About leaving something behind that outlives you. In this episode, I’m sharing three magical mindset lessons from Coco that’ll remind you to: Stop waiting for permission.Don’t let excuses steal your moment.Decide how you want to be...

Walt Disney didn’t just dream, he felt his future before it existed. He didn’t wait to see it before he believed it. He believed it until everyone else could see it too.

This is Part Two of my “Dangerously Consistent Like Walt Disney” Series. Three powerful lessons on how to stay dangerously consistent and make your dreams come true. Failure isn’t the end, it’s part of the plan. Here’s the truth: perfectionism crushes more dreams than failure ever will. We think if we mess up once, we’re the failure.
