Why Mindset Matters

Send a textSeason 2: Episode 8 - Unfiltered Grief: Why We Need to Stop Censoring the ConversationThis episode comes straight from the heart. I’m diving into a topic that’s been weighing on me for a little while — the way we’ve started to censor how we talk about grief, loss, and especially suicide. If we are not careful it will become less about connection and more about correctness. And the truth is, when we start policing language, we risk silencing the people who are already hurting the most.I talk about how phrases like “committed suicide” or even “trigger warning” have become taboo — and how that kind of censorship often comes from people outside the arena, not those living in it. When I’m forced to stop and think about finding the “right” words, it disconnects me from the raw, authentic truth of my experience — and that’s exactly what helps others feel less alone.This episode is about bringing the humanity back to the conversation. It’s about letting grief be messy, real, and unfiltered — because pretending it’s anything else only adds to the pain.Because when we speak truth — even when it’s uncomfortable — we make it safe for others to do the same.If this conversation resonates with you I’d love to invite you into my free online community — Why Mindset Matters on Skool — a space where like-minded souls come together to grow, heal, and speak openly. 👉  https://www.skool.com/why-mindset-matters-6748And if my work, podcast, or book has positively impacted you or someone you love, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to share your experience.

Send a textSeason 2 Episode 6: When You Just Don’t Have It In You In this episode, I open up about the days when you just don’t have it in you — when the weight of it all feels like too much and even the smallest steps forward feel impossible. I talk about my own experiences with emotional overwhelm, grief, and the pressure to keep showing up when your body and heart are asking you to slow down.I share how learning to truly listen to my body, honour my nervous system, and give myself permission to pause became powerful parts of my healing journey. This conversation is about vulnerability, self-compassion, and remembering that sometimes the most productive thing we can do is rest.From breakdown to breakthrough, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear — it’s layered, messy, and deeply human. My hope is that this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, that the pause is powerful, and that even when it feels like nothing’s working out… it’s always working out.If this conversation resonates with you I’d love to invite you into my free online community — Why Mindset Matters on Skool — a space where like-minded souls come together to grow, heal, and speak openly.👉  https://www.skool.com/why-mindset-matters-6748And if my work, podcast, or book has positively impacted you or someone you love, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to share your experience.

Send a textSeason 2 Episode 5 - When Mindset Meets Physiology: The Real Work of HealingIn this episode, I talk about the truth that while mindset really does matter — it isn’t everything. There are times in life, especially through grief and trauma, when we can be doing all the “right” things and still feel stuck, heavy, or disconnected. And that’s okay.I share my own experiences of navigating deep loss and healing, and how I came to understand that real resilience isn’t about pushing through or bypassing our feelings — it’s about honoring them, alongside taking care of our physical and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes the body needs as much support as the mind does.This conversation is an invitation to give yourself grace, lean into community, and remember that even in the midst of struggle, there is still beauty, growth, and life to be found.Support the show

Send a textSeason 2 Episode 4: Breaking the Silence - Why Talking About Our Pain Saves Lives In this episode of the Why Mindset Matters podcast, I dive into the darkness so many people find themselves in before taking their own life — that silent, heavy space where it feels like no one else could possibly understand. I know that place, and I know how isolating it can feel. But I also know the power of breaking the silence. When we share our struggles, we not only create connection and understanding, we create hope. I open up about my own experiences with grief and mental health, and why having these conversations is so vital. My hope is that by speaking candidly, I can help normalize conversations around mental health and remind you that it’s okay to ask for help — because even in the darkest times, you are not alone.Support the show

Send a textSeason 2 Episode 3 : Perfectly Imperfect: Finding the Beauty in the MessIn this episode, I dive into the messy, beautiful truth about imperfection and why waiting for everything to be “just right” can actually hold us back. I share honestly about my own journey with podcasting, the pressure I’ve felt to make things perfect, and the lessons I’ve learned about showing up authentically instead. Perfection isn’t where the magic is — it’s in the perfectly imperfect moments that shape us, teach us, and help us grow. This is about choosing intention over perfection, transforming pain into purpose, and finding beauty in the unpredictable ride that is life.Support the show

I also talk about my upcoming fundraiser and Celebration of Life event, a gathering created to honour resilience, community, and love. This conversation is an invitation to see that even in the depths of grief, there is space for gratitude, connection, and the possibility of happiness.NB: Resilience After Great Loss - Learning to live & grieve simultaneously is now avail globally via Amazon.

Send a textEpisode 1 - Manifesting: Why the Setbacks Are Still Part of the SetupIn this first episode of Season Two, I dive into one of the biggest shifts that’s transformed my life: learning to say yes, not just to the things that feel easy, but also to the uncertainty, the change, and even the challenges. I’ve come to believe that even when things don’t look like they’re working out, they actually are — just not always in the way we expected. That’s the heart of manifestation and living in alignment: trusting that every detour, every delay, every unexpected fork in the road is still leading us where we’re meant to be.I share how this philosophy has carried me through grief, trauma, and transformation, and how choosing to live in alignment has helped me call in more connection, opportunities, and healing than I ever thought possible. This episode is a reminder that life isn’t about controlling every outcome — it’s about saying yes to the journey and trusting that even when things aren't working out... they are working out ;-)I share some exciting news about my upcoming event, fundraiser, and book launch — Resilience After Great Loss: A Celebration of Life - a fundraiser to be held in November and the proceeds of which will help support Movember and men’s mental health/suicide prevention.I’m so excited to be back for Season Two of Why Mindset Matters and everything this season will bring with it.

Send a textEpisode 23: Speak Life: Rewriting Self-Talk & The Power of Genuine ComplimentsIn this season finale of Why Mindset Matters, I’m reflecting on the incredible power of words — the ones we speak to ourselves and the ones we share with others. For so long, I lived inside negative self-talk and limiting narratives that kept me small. But through grief, healing, and growth, I’ve learned that when we rewrite those stories and choose to speak life, we open the door to transformation. Genuine compliments, authentic connections, and simple acts of kindness have not only shaped my healing but also made me a magnet for the right people — the ones who lift me, support me, and help me grow as an individual, a business owner, and an entrepreneur.As I step into a reset over the next couple of weeks and prepare to publish my book in the coming months, I’m embracing the unknown of the next chapter with gratitude and excitement. I want to leave you with this: your words matter more than you know. Speak life into yourself and into others — because the way you talk to yourself shapes your reality, and the way you uplift others can change theirs.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 22: Manifestation in Action - Even When Things Aren't Working Out... They Are ALWAYS Working Out! In this episode of the Why Mindset Matters podcast, I share my own journey with manifestation and how tools like the 369 journal have helped me create real change in my life. I talk about some of the personal mottos I live by (Start saying YES to life! & Even when things aren't working out... they are ALWAYS working out!), as well as what it means to shift out of a scarcity mindset and into abundance, and the magic that comes from simply saying yes to life. I also reflect on the synchronicities that have guided me to meaningful connections, including the (physical) healing I experienced during my trip to Bali. More than anything, I want to show how powerful intention is in shaping our reality — and to encourage you to lean into your own path of growth, healing, and transformation.If this conversation resonates with you I’d love to invite you into my free online community — Why Mindset Matters on Skool — a space where like-minded souls come together to grow, heal, and speak openly.👉  https://www.skool.com/why-mindset-matters-6748And if my work, podcast, or book has positively impacted you or someone you love, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to share your experience.

Send a textEpisode 21: Choose Your Circle WiselyIn this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I’m diving into something that’s been absolutely crucial in my own healing and growth journey — the power of choosing your circle wisely. The people we surround ourselves with become our mirrors, our anchors, and sometimes our lifelines — especially when life hands us the unimaginable.I talk about how the right circle won’t need to be asked to show up — they just will. They lift you by default, remind you who you are when you forget, and hold space for you in the moments you can't hold it for yourself. And just as importantly, they challenge you to grow, evolve, and stay aligned with the person you're becoming.If you’ve ever felt lonely in a crowded room or questioned the support around you during your hardest seasons, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to choose, nurture, and become the kind of community that fuels resilience and healing — not just survival.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 20: The Body Keeps The ScoreIn this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I talk about something I’ve come to understand deeply through my own experience with grief and trauma — the toll that chronic stress and survival mode can take on our bodies. Recently having my grief exacerbated by the unexpected loss of our family dog, I found myself stuck in fight-or-flight without even realising it. And over time, that emotional overload quickly started to show up physically.We often don’t connect our immune system, our health, or even chronic illness with the emotional weight we carry — but it’s all connected. The body keeps score, and if we’re not careful, unprocessed grief and prolonged stress can manifest in ways we never expected.In this conversation, I share how I've started to recognise the signs, what I’ve learned about nervous system regulation, and why true healing asks us to care for not just our minds and hearts, but our whole being. If you've been living in survival mode for too long, this one’s for you — a reminder that your body deserves peace too. And that if we want to thrive, we have to start treating our nervous system like it matters. Because it does.Support the show

Send a textEpidsode 19: Honouring The Truth of LossIn this episode, I share a deeply personal chapter of my grief journey — navigating the very recent loss of our beloved family dog (who was also Rylee's dog). I open up about something that’s often misunderstood: the instinct to shield others from the pain of loss. While well-intentioned, trying to protect someone from grief can actually deny them the opportunity to fully process and begin healing.I talk about what it means to hold space — not fix, not soften, just be there. Grief is as individual as it is universal, and the truth is, we don’t get to decide how someone else experiences it. I reflect on how allowing ourselves and others to feel the weight of loss is not weakness — it’s strength, love, and presence in its rawest form. This episode is a reminder that grief deserves to be witnessed, not avoided.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 18: I Wrote a Book!In this episode, I open up about how my journey of resilience after losing my daughter, Rylee, not only shaped every part of who I am today but also led me to write a book that I believe would benefit anyone brave enough to read it. For the longest time after losing Rylee, anytime I’d share pieces of my story people would respond by saying “How the fck are you still standing? I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.”* Hearing that on repeat made me pause and ask myself: I’m not special… so what is it that am I doing that has people convinced that they couldn't? That question became the heartbeat of my book, Resilience After Great Loss: Learning to Live and Grieve Simultaneously.In the book, I talk about the tools, practices, and mindset shifts that helped me not just survive unimaginable loss and trauma, but learn how to thrive and in doing so build a life where grief and joy coexist.I talk about the power of intentional living, community, and manifestation in creating a life that still feels meaningful — even when it looks nothing like what you imagined. I provide insights on how we can use the things mentioned within the book as an insurance policy if you like, for the inevitable losses and challenges of life; and as such set ourselves up to navigate them in a way that is a little softer and kinder to soul. I also get honest about my struggles with procrastination and self-doubt as I chase my goals, and why it’s so important to honour and validate our own grief experiences without judgment, as it is by validating our grief, loss and lived experience that we open ourselves up to more joy and contentment in life.This episode is for EVERYONE... Because none of us get out of this life unscathed. It is my love letter to world written from a place of unimaginable heartbreak intended to be your personal reminder that (like me) you are capable of so much more than you could imagine and with the right tools, supports and mindset shifts you absolutely can survive the very things you were convinced would be your destruction. Support the show

Send a textEpisode 17: The Stories That Keep Us StuckIn this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I get real about the stories we cling to — the ones that feel safe but quietly keep us stuck in self-imposed prisons we more commonly refer to as comfort zones. These narratives might feel like protection, but they’re really holding us back from the growth and change we deeply crave. I talk about what it takes to face the fear behind those stories, lean into the discomfort, and rewrite the script in a way that actually serves who we’re becoming. I share how I’ve had to call myself out on the lies I’ve told myself to avoid discomfort, and why that discomfort is actually where freedom and transformation live. This conversation is all about reclaiming your power, choosing courage over comfort, and creating a life that feels expansive, joyful, and deeply aligned... It's your reminder to stop settling for the story that keeps you small and start writing the one that sets you free.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 16 : Freedom From AttachmentIn this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I’m diving into something that’s been both one of my hardest lessons and deepest teachers — attachment. I speak a lot about grief, healing, and mindset here, but underneath all of it is this quiet, often unseen force: the illusion of control.I share how our attachments (to people, outcomes, and the life we thought we'd have) only serve to amplify our suffering after loss. And more importantly, how learning to loosen our grip doesn’t mean giving up, but finally finding peace. Letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you stop trying to control the uncontrollable and start allowing life to be what it is — beautifully unpredictable and painfully precious.This episode is an invitation to check in with what you're holding onto, and gently ask yourself: Is this helping me, or holding me back?Support the show

Send a textEpisode 15: Why “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” Isn’t the Whole TruthIn this episode, I dive into the complexities of grief and the widely accepted phrase, “It’s okay to not be okay.” And while I understand the intention behind it, I’m challenging that narrative — because I don’t actually believe we’ve mastered what it truly means. When someone says they’re not okay, the instinct — whether from others or ourselves — is often to fix, to soothe, to make it go away. But if we’re trying to fix it... are we really saying it’s okay?I share what this looks like in my own life since losing my daughter, and how I’ve learned to hold space for emotional pain without rushing to rescue myself from it. This is an honest conversation about vulnerability, discomfort, and what it means to create a culture where we allow each other — and ourselves — to feel fully. This episode is an invitation to go deeper. To stop using band-aids for what needs holding. To understand that compassion isn't about fixing — it's about being with. I’ll talk about the power of witnessing pain, the gift of emotional honesty, and why it's time we stopped performing resilience and started practicing it — even when it’s messy. Because life is messy... but it's within the mess that we find the beauty.I discuss the distinction between supporting and saving, and why self-compassion and authentic connection are more important than mere platitudes. If you’ve ever felt pressure to hide your hurt or minimise your mess, if you’ve ever felt unseen in your struggles or struggled to support someone else in theirs, this episode is for you.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 14 Rewired : Letting Go of Limits & Living On Purpose In this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I dive deep into the beliefs, patterns, and inner narratives that quietly shape how we show up in life. I talk about the limits we inherit, absorb, or create — and how resilience and mindset can set us free. This is an honest conversation about resilience, radical responsibility, and what it really takes to live with intention. From challenging old conditioning to embracing discomfort as part of growth, this is your permission slip to stop waiting and start living with intention. If you’re ready to take full ownership of your life and manifest more of what actually lights you up, this one’s for you.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 13: Redefining HappinessIn this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I explore how my definition of happiness has radically shifted since losing my daughter, Rylee. For a long time, I thought happiness was supposed to be loud, obvious, and permanent — but grief cracked that illusion wide open. Now, I see happiness as something softer, more sacred — moments of peace, presence, and gratitude woven into the messiness of real life.I share how I learned to hold both joy and sorrow without apology, and how I’ve made space for meaning, even when life doesn’t feel light. This is a raw and honest conversation about emotional duality — the kind that lets joy and pain coexist. It’s about breaking up with performative positivity and giving yourself full permission to define happiness in a way that actually fits who you are now, not who you used to be.Ultimately, I invite you to rethink what happiness really means — not as a constant feeling, but as a personal perspective — and to realize just how much your mindset can and does shape the way you experience life, even in the midst of grief.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 12: Overcoming Imposter SyndromeIn this episode, I’m speaking straight to the part of you that’s doubting your worth. The part that causes you to procrastinate or self-sabotage and in doing so get in the way of your own success. I’ve been there — wondering if I’m enough, questioning whether I belong in the room, especially after life knocked the wind out of me. Imposter syndrome will creep in during some of our most vulnerable seasons — after loss, in new beginnings, and even in our healing.But here’s what I’ve learned: feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you are one! It usually means you care deeply, you’re growing, and you’re standing at the edge of something meaningful. In this conversation, I share how I stopped waiting for someone to validate me, stopped waiting for permission and started choosing myself, even when I was shaky. I’ll walk you through how to rewrite that inner narrative, reclaim your power, and stop outsourcing your confidence.If you’ve ever felt like a fraud, like you’re not “ready,” or like you need to prove your worth — this episode is your reminder: you are already enough, just as you are and that you are always entitled to outgrow any previous version of yourself. Start giving yourself the permission you've been seeking and in doing so the space to show up in the true power of your most authentic self.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 11: Why Comparison Is the Thief of JoyIn this episode of Why Mindset Matters, we’re digging into something that silently creeps in and chips away at our peace and our capacity for joy: comparison. It’s the quiet voice that says you should be further along, you shouldn’t still be feeling this way, or someone else has it worse, so what’s your excuse? I know that voice intimately and I know how damaging it can be when we start measuring our grief, healing, or worth against someone else’s highlight reel.This isn’t just about social media comparison though — it’s about the deep, internal pressure to perform our pain or prove its validity.I’m unpacking the quiet heartbreak that happens when we compare our healing, our grief, or even our joy to someone else’s. The truth is, comparison doesn’t just rob us of joy; it robs us of presence, peace, and self-compassion.I talk about what it looks like to fully honour your own path, without apology.In this conversation, I’m inviting you back to yourself. We talk about why your timeline is sacred, why your emotions are valid, and why choosing self-compassion is the bravest thing you can do. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their pain wasn’t valid enough, their progress too slow, or their joy somehow undeserved. I’ll share how I learned to let go of the pressure to measure up, how gratitude became my anchor, and why your story — just as it is — is 100% valid.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 10: No One Is ComingIn this unapologetic and soul-stirring episode, I’m calling it like it is — NO ONE is coming to save you. Not the partner, the parent, the job, or the fairytale ending. I share the raw truth I've had to face in my own journey through trauma, loss, and rebuilding: We become our own hero the moment we stop outsourcing our worth and start reclaiming our power.This episode explores themes of self-love, manifesting desires and the importance of embracing Main Character Energy in order to lead a fulfilling life. The conversation encourages listeners to break free from comfort zones, fight for their inner peace, and ultimately choose themselves as the heroes of their own stories.This episode is a rally cry for anyone who feels stuck, abandoned, or exhausted from waiting on permission or rescue. It’s about radical responsibility, deep self-trust, and learning to hold your own hand through the storm. Together, we’ll explore how to honour your pain without letting it define you — and how choosing yourself, over and over again, is the most heroic thing you can do.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 9: Main Character EnergyIn this episode, I do a dive deep into what it really means to reclaim your Main Character Energy — not the filtered, performative version we see online, but the soul-deep decision to stop living on autopilot and start living with fierce, conscious intention. This kind of energy isn't about ego or attention; it's about remembering who you are underneath the expectations, the heartbreak, and the noise.I explore what it means to come home to yourself — to become not just the author of your story, but also the producer and director. I talk about what happens when your roles shift, when grief and loss impact your storyline, and how you begin again by honouring your values and choosing growth that’s both gritty and beautiful.If you’ve ever felt disconnected, like you've been cast in a supporting role in your own life, this one’s for you. Because no matter how many plot twists you have or will face… you still get to take the lead.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 8: The Kindness CrewIn this episode, I share the beautiful and brave story of my daughters, Mia and Zali, and how they turned heartbreak into hope and connection after the loss of their sister, Rylee to suicide because of bullying. In the raw aftermath of losing Rylee, the girls chose to respond with courage, creativity, and compassion. I share the tender yet powerful story of how The Kindness Crew came to life — not just as a business, but as a movement rooted in grief, love, and a fierce desire to make the world a gentler place for their souls to reside. What they ended up achieving had a much wider ripple effect than any of us could've anticipated.I speak about what it meant for them to channel their pain into purpose, the behind-the-scenes of building something as kids navigating unimaginable loss and trauma and the lessons we’ve all learned about the kind of resilience we can foster by simply choosing kindness. It's a reminder that kindness IS a choice - not always an easy one, but definitely an important, valuable and potentially life saving one! This episode is about more than a business — it’s about what happens when we (even kids) lead with purpose, when grief becomes action, and when kindness becomes a legacy. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn pain into something meaningful, this one will touch you deeply.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 7: The Afterlife... Rylee & The ButterfliesWhat started as a love letter became a conversation of the soul, a spiritual investigation and a bridge between belief and uncertainty. In this deeply personal episode, I share the sacred, surreal, and often unexplainable moments that have kept me connected to my daughter Rylee since her passing. From that first appearance of a delicate blue butterfly wing to the messages I’ve felt in quiet moments all the way through to (and since) my ayahuasca journey. This is about more than signs — it’s about the continued bond between a mother and her child, even across realms.Grief cracks us wide open — and in that space, I’ve found connection, kindness, and a deeper understanding of how love doesn’t end just because a physical life does. If you’ve ever felt your person around you in ways you can’t explain, this conversation will feel like home. It’s not about moving on… it’s about staying open to what still is and allowing it to light the path on your way through healing as you learn to live and grieve simultaneously!Support the show

Send a textEpisode 6: Self-Love & Becoming THE ONEIn this episode, I talk about one of the most radical and healing things you can do: becoming the one you’ve been waiting for. What if the person you’ve been searching for… is actually you? In this episode, I dive deep into the messy, beautiful, often painful journey of self-love — not as a trend, but as a lifeline. After divorce, deep grief, and learning how to live with both love and loss, I realized that becoming “the one” isn’t about being perfect — it’s about coming home to yourself.I talk about the hard-earned lessons of choosing yourself, letting go of old stories, and learning to feel worthy without needing to be needed. If you’ve ever lost yourself in relationships or felt like your wholeness depends on someone else, this episode will meet you right where you are — and gently remind you that you already have within you everything you seek. If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much, not enough, or stuck waiting for someone else to show up for you — this is your reminder that the love you’re craving starts within. And you are absolutely worth it.Note: The book I mention in this episode is called:Becoming the OneHeal Your Past, Transform Your Relationship Patterns and Come Home to YourselfBy: Sheleana AiyanaSupport the show

Send a textIn this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the pressure men face to keep everyone else happy while silently carrying the weight of their own unmet needs. I explore what it means to practice healthy selfishness, how the lack of emotional permission hurts relationships, and why so many men feel lost in roles they didn’t choose but don’t know how to step out of. This conversation is raw, real, and overdue — because men’s mental health matters, and so does their wholeness. A great listen for both men and women...

From navigating deep grief to writing a book and saying yes to aligned opportunities, this is a story about reclaiming power, trusting timing, and getting clear on what you want — especially when life has already taken so much.I open up about my journey with the 369 manifestation journal (yep, it actually changed my life), and how being intentional with my energy and mindset helped shift everything — money, relationships, and purpose.

Send a textEpisode 3: Why Mindset Is EverythingIn this episode, I’m talking about one of the most important tools we have in life — our mindset. Whether you’re facing grief, loss, trauma, parenthood or it's simply the weight of everyday struggles, the way you think about your experiences shapes how you move through them.If there’s one thing I’ve learned through grief, trauma, and healing — it’s that mindset can change everything. In this episode, I share how shifting the way I think, speak, and see the world has helped me survive the unimaginable and still find moments of purpose, peace, and even joy.I explore the power of intention, the subconscious beliefs that shape us, and how mindset isn’t about toxic positivity or unrealistic optimism— it’s about reclaiming your ability to choose your response, even when life feels out of control. I touch on neuroplasticity (yes, your brain can rewire itself), and how compassion, connection, and accountability are vital parts of the healing journey. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your story or unsure how to move forward, this episode will meet you where you are — and remind you that your mindset is one of the most powerful tools you have. After all there isn't an area of our lives where our mindset doesn't matter!If this conversation resonates with you I’d love to invite you into my free online community — Why Mindset Matters on Skool — a space where like-minded souls come together to grow, heal, and speak openly.👉  https://www.skool.com/why-mindset-matters-6748And if my work, podcast, or book has positively impacted you or someone you love, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to share your experience.

Send a textEpisode 2: Grounded in Gratitude – Even in GriefGrief and gratitude — can they really exist in the same breath? In this episode, I dive into the emotional tug-of-war between love and loss, and how choosing to stay grounded in gratitude has helped me survive the heaviness of grief without being swallowed by it.I speak about the power of gratitude and how we can use it like an insurance policy for life. That by implementing the daily practice of gratitude, we can set ourselves up to be able to weather the inevitable storms of life in a way that's softer and kinder to us as we do.The ability to view your life through a lens of gratitude is something everyone is capable of and will lend itself to a much more rewarding and fulfilling life experience, in spite of our inevitable challenges and traumas.Support the show

Send a textEpisode 1: I Said YES to GriefIn this very first episode, I open my heart and share the story that changed everything — losing my daughter Rylee to suicide in 2022. This isn’t easy to talk about, nor is it easy to listen to... but it’s real. I said yes to grief because I had no other choice — and because I’ve learned that grief, when we let it, can teach us how to live more honestly, more gratefully, and more intentionally.This episode is a tender, raw, and personal look at why your mindset matters— especially in grief and loss. And how we can learn to live and grieve simultaneously, to find moments of joy in the middle of heartbreak, and to choose healing even when nothing makes sense.  If you’ve known loss, or if you're walking with someone who has, I hope my story helps you feel a little less alone.If this conversation resonates with you I’d love to invite you into my free online community — Why Mindset Matters on Skool — a space where like-minded souls come together to grow, heal, and speak openly.👉  https://www.skool.com/why-mindset-matters-6748And if my work, podcast, or book has positively impacted you or someone you love, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to share your experience.
