Mindset Unlimited: Tips, Tools, and Inspiration for Women Leaders

Your Mindset Unlimited is a podcast for socially conscious women leaders who are on a journey to release learned limitations and live a more present, intentional, and enjoyable life.

In this podcast you'll find tips, tools, and inspiration to help you shift the patterns that create imbalances in the world starting with the internalized patterns that limit us in our own lives. Engaging these limiting mindsets and habits not only expands the impact of our work in the world but also creates more joyful relationships in all areas of our life.

Some of the topics you'll find here are: finding fulfillment, habit shifting, motivation, time management, money mindset, stress management, impostor syndrome, productivity, work/life balance, communication, boundaries, leadership, social activism, burnout, building a business, motherhood, and more.

How to Plan for the Future AND Enjoy the Present

We're taught from a young age to look toward the future. That life really begins once something in the future happens, such as once you become the person you're going to be when you grow up. The problem is that this sets us up in a pattern of chasing, not having. Many clients come to me saying they have big dreams and want to make an impact in the world but they don't want to sacrifice the present moment. They believe both is possible but don't know HOW. It starts with relearning how to vision in a way that supports both the goal AND the journey.

In this episode of Unlimited, I’m diving into how to engage visioning in a way that supports both achieving your goals AND enjoying your life.

Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:

What exactly IS visioning
Ways we learn to vision that actually sabotage us
Overcoming fear of failure/fear of success
The importance of having a purposeful vision
Ways to engage creating a vision effectively for yourself or with others

I'm particularly passionate about this topic because it's been a big learning for me personally. I spent years building the life I thought you were supposed to have to be happy. I spent more years working to be in the present moment, not getting caught up in the future or the past. I ended up becoming really good at tolerating life, instead of fully living it. Learning how to vision as I describe in this episode was pivotal for me in feeling like I was truly owning my life.

Want support to create a vision that motivates you to action with both future goals and present enjoyment? Let's chat!
