Description

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking that they don’t have any.” I love this quote by Alice Walker. I’ve been there. I've been in the place where I forgot about or was not checked into my power and because of that I’m on a mission to remind you of yours.


The Mindset Check Podcast shows you the power that is already inside of you in every single episode. It's a podcast to help you see that we can find joy in the struggle and light in the darkness. It will teach you how to create a beautiful state inside of you and how to walk away from suffering. Each season is a little different. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect from each season:



Season  1 

I'm sharing my personal journey with you from my journal when I was 15, pregnant AND married. We navigate  through a rocky relationship, lots of low vibration, betrayal and how to rise above it. We go through grief and how to process as I openly talk about the passing of my daughter and lots of forgiveness and figuring out life. We focus on how you have more power than you think you do to live the incredible life that is in front of you.  



Season 2 

Sharing with you the vulnerable side of the story from my current husband's point of view, how we came together after once “going out” in the 6th grade and him liking me ever since! We go over the incredible ways life works and how to look for the ways you are being led. We talk about navigating through relationships when not everything is peaches and about the challenges of dealing with the tragic loss of one of Jake’s family members to suicide. We learn that no matter what you go (grow) through you are still you and the ways you interpret life determine how you experience it.  



Season 3

In this season we are talking about our internal state and the power we have to create a state inside of us that allows us to live a life of joy and expansion! I’m sharing on a heart level talking about frequencies, vibrations, thoughts and emotions that you can check into help propel you forward in creating your life. We have educational and motivational mindset checks, guest episodes and Hey Mesh episodes that are all designed to encourage, uplift and alter the course of your life toward living in a beautiful state showing you once again that you have more power than you think you do in every single episode!

What if the most transformative gratitude practice isn’t a list… but a story?

You’ll learn why story-based gratitude activates deeper emotional circuits in the brain, creates hear...
In this heartfelt conversation with bestselling author Mark Sullivan (Beneath a Scarlet Sky, The Last Green Valley, All the Glimmering Stars), we explore what happens when both writing — and life — begin to flow from the heart instead of the mind.

Together, we talk about the thread that runs through all his books — the power of love, vision, forgiveness, and gratitude to l...
We’ve all heard it — “Have you seen the price of eggs lately?” But what if that simple statement is doing more than commenting on inflation — what if it’s quietly shaping your mindset around lack? In this episode, Mesha invites you to look beyond the facts and explore how focusing on scarcity can actually block your ability to experience abundance. You’ll learn how your brain’s Reticular Activating System filters reality to match what you believe, and how a scarcity mindset limits creat...

From long sports weekends and hectic family routines to everyday frustrations, you’ll learn simple ways to reframe the hard into something meaningful. Because when we choose gratitude over g...
We’ve all been told that suffering shapes us, refines us, and makes us stronger. But is suffering really required for growth—or have we been carrying a belief that keeps us stuck in unnecessary pain?

What if the problems in your life weren’t obstacles at all, but invitations? In this episode, I share the timeless lesson of the 100 Camels story and how it reveals a hidden secret about life’s challenges: no matter what we do, problems will always appear. But here’s the truth—problems aren’t here to defeat you, they’re here to grow you. Einstein famously said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Together we’ll explore how contrast helps us see wh...
Everyone’s looking for the quick fix — the magic trick that makes confidence appear overnight. But here’s the truth: real, lasting confidence isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you build.

Why do we feel so overwhelmed—and how do we release what we’re carrying? In this episode, we explore the powerful metaphor of the overflowing cup—and how emotional buildup, unprocessed stress, and silent burdens can leave us living right on the edge.

This episode is an invitation to pause, soften, and offer yourself the grace to proc...
You know that little broken thing you’ve just gotten used to? The drawer that sticks. The calendar that freezes. The trash can that doesn't slide right. You work around it. No big deal… until you realize the same thing is happening inside of you. In this short, reflective episode, I share a story that changed the way I look at unresolved stuff—the kind we quietly carry, cope with, and compensate for. Inspired by a powerful metaphor about a forgotten wedge, we explore how even the small things...
What if peace wasn’t something you found after the chaos passed… but something you held onto right in the middle of it? In this episode, I share a personal story about a scripture I once received that essentially said: “Hold your peace, and I will fight your battles.” It sounded simple—but I didn't fully understand how to be “in peace” when life felt so threatening. Now, I understand more and I’m sharing with you what I wish I could go back to younger Mesha and walk her through. P...
Life doesn’t always go as planned — but that doesn’t mean the game is broken. In this episode, we dive into why the odds of the game sometimes change unexpectedly and why that’s actually part of the game itself. We explore how our brains crave control and the illusion of control that leads us to resist change — whether it’s a card dealt differently than expected or a life event that throws us off balance. Drawing on improv comedy with Wayne Brady, the timeless wisdom of Buddha’s Two Arrows, a...
