Ep. 72 - The Power of Yet: The Mindset Shift Every Adult Needs

Send us Fan MailOne word can turn a wall into a doorway. We dive into the power of yet—how a simple tweak to your self-talk transforms setbacks into stepping stones and helps you build habits that last without the burnout.I share the core difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset through Carol Dweck’s research, then translate it into daily language you can use when goals feel heavy: I’m not consistent yet, I haven’t found a workout I enjoy yet, I’m not organized yet. We walk through four practical benefits—resilience, long-term learning, creativity, and motivation—and show why yet works at a nervous-system level by easing pressure, lowering stress, and keeping you engaged with the next small step.You’ll hear real-life examples from health and wellness to routines and creative projects, including how to stop comparing yourself to experts and start comparing to your own yesterday. We move from perfection to progress, from all-or-nothing to small-and-steady, and from shame to curiosity. Then we set “yet goals” for the year: clear, compassionate targets backed by tiny actions like planning two dinners instead of seven or choosing a 10-minute walk that builds momentum. The episode ends with a one-line challenge that rewires your inner voice and invites immediate action.If you’re ready to trade hustle for humane growth and build confidence rep by rep, this conversation is your reset.
