78. The Two Mindsets That Determine Your Growth: Open vs. Resistant


Listen Later

Most people think they need a better strategy to grow. But after coaching thousands of women, I can tell you that's not what's holding you back.

It's resistance.

In this episode of Your A-Game Podcast, I break down the two mindsets that determine whether you actually grow or stay stuck: Open vs. Resistant.

You'll learn how resistance shows up in your daily thoughts, decisions, and behaviors and why it quietly blocks your progress, even when you want change.

More importantly, I'll show you how to identify which mindset you're operating from right now and what to do next.

Because growth doesn't come from knowing more. It comes from being willing to see yourself clearly and shift.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • The real reason most people don't follow through on change

  • How resistance disguises itself as logic, timing, or overwhelm

  • The difference between an open mindset and a resistant one

  • Why some women grow quickly (and others stay stuck for years)

  • A simple brain dump exercise to uncover your hidden blocks

  • How self-awareness is the foundation of your A-Game

Key Takeaways:

  • You don't have a strategy problem you have a resistance problem

  • You cannot create change while defending your current patterns

  • Growth requires willingness, not perfection

  • Awareness is the first step to momentum

Your Audacious Action:

Take 10 minutes today and do a full brain dump.

Write down every excuse, fear, hesitation, and block that's coming up for you right now.

Then ask yourself: Am I willing to face this and break it down, whatever it takes?

That answer will tell you everything.
