Why Mindset Matters
About the Host
Eslana Lower is an author, speaker, resilience mindset coach, nurse, midwife, and mother of four. Through her own lived experience of profound grief, trauma, and healing following the loss of her daughter, Rylee, Eslana has developed a powerful voice and framework for helping others navigate life’s most difficult seasons with greater resilience, intention, and hope.
She is the creator of The GRACE Method and author of Resilience After Great Loss: Learning to Live and Grieve Simultaneously—work rooted in the belief that while grief may change us, it does not have to define us.
About the Podcast
Why Mindset Matters is a podcast for anyone navigating grief, loss, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking to live with greater awareness, purpose, and emotional resilience.
Across two powerful seasons, Eslana has shared raw reflections, honest conversations, practical tools, and mindset shifts designed to help listeners reclaim their story, strengthen their inner world, and learn how to live and grieve simultaneously.

You Don't Need More Time. You Need More Life.

You Don't Need More Time. You Need More Life.
How often do we tell ourselves we'll do it someday?
When life settles down. When the kids are older. When we have more money. When work isn't so busy. When we feel ready.
The problem is, while we're waiting for someday, life is happening now.
In this episode, I'm talking about how easily we can slip into autopilot — moving through the days, fulfilling all the roles we carry as parents, partners, friends, professionals and carers, while somewhere along the way becoming a backseat passenger in our own lives.
And somehow, without us even noticing, martyrdom ends up behind the wheel.
I want to help you change that.
I'm introducing you to something I've created called The More Life List™ — not a bucket list of things to do before you die, but a reminder of all the things you're still here to live.
It's completely free to create at whymindsetmatters.com. There are five simple prompts, delivered one at a time, and when you're finished you'll receive your own personalised More Life List™ to download, keep or share.
And importantly, I'm not asking you to hand over your details to get it. No email gate. No phone number. No catch. I simply want you to take a couple of minutes to stop and ask yourself what you actually want from this one red-hot crack at life.
But creating the list is only the beginning.
I'm also introducing the 30-Day More Life Challenge™ inside my free Resilience Mindset online community on Skool — 30 days of simple, practical and implementable actions designed to help you step out of autopilot, reclaim your agency, bring a little more main-character energy to your own life and intentionally put more life into the days you already have.
Because we spend so much time trying to add more days to our lives.
Maybe we need to spend a little more time asking:
How much life am I putting into my days?
You don't need to completely change your life.
You don't need to wait until Monday.
You don't need everything to be perfect.
And you certainly don't need to wait for your life to fall apart before you decide to truly live it.
All we ever really have is now.
So perhaps the question isn't “How do I find more time?”
Perhaps it's:
What am I still saying “someday” about — and what would happen if I started today?
