Description

After a brief hiatus, we're back! And this episode is the perfect way to reconnect.

In today’s powerful and personal episode of the Personal Mastery & Growth podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason I created the Mindset Makeover course and book. This isn’t just a conversation about theory; it’s a story about experience, adversity, resilience, and transformation.

We all face moments in life that test us—physically, emotionally, spiritually. And often, it’s not the circumstances that define us, but the mindset we bring to them.

In this episode, I’m sharing some of the defining moments in my own life that reshaped how I think, how I lead, and how I live.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll discover:

✅ The turning points that shaped my mindset journey, from childhood karate lessons to life-threatening illness

✅ The difference between surviving and thriving, and why your mindset is the key to making that shift

✅ The 14 transformational mindsets covered in the Mindset Makeover course, and how they work together

✅ Why the Holistic Mindset may be the most critical mindset of all

✅ The truth about fear, identity, and ownership, and how reframing your story can transform your reality

✅ How you can begin your own mindset transformation starting today
