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.
Your Host, Valerie Friedlander, is an ICF certified coach, sociologist, intersectional feminist, artist, business owner, and mom. Based in Chicago and supporting clients world-wide, she helps high-achieving, multi-passionate women leaders create success on their own terms, honoring all aspects of their life.

Mindset Unlimited: Tips, Tools, and Inspiration for Women Leaders
Stop Being Nice and Start Being Resilient
We need to stop being nice and start being resilient. Hurt feelings happen but we've been trained to avoid them, rather than how to process and deal with them in a productive way. This leads to codependent behaviors on an individual level and feeds problematic power dynamics on a societal level. This is emphasized in corporate culture etiquette and unconscious expectations on women to manage other people's (especially men's) emotional comfort. These expectations are often deeply internalized and keep us playing small as well as often lead us to perpetuate dysfunctional and harmful norms. It is critical that we learn how to process our own emotions so we can show up with graceful resilience to support our ability to play fully in the world and create change in these problematic patterns.
In this episode of Unlimited, I’m sharing my own experience of being told to “Google tact,” how I contributed to this dynamic during my time in corporate, and my insights now as a coach supporting emotional intelligence.
Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:
- Corporate tone policing supporting success in a toxic structure
- Deconstructing identity stories that perpetuate problematic systems
- The importance of engaging emotions
- Allowing space for self-growth through discomfort
- The problem with the Golden Rule
Thank you for listening!
There is so much more to this topic and I'm feeling called to some deeper explorations within it. Possibly to share in a longer written format down the road...
