Tap on the top of your head, my friend. (Yes. Seriously. Right now. Unless you're driving.)

That right there… is either your best friend or your worst critic. Your greatest cheerleader or your worst enemy. And YOU get to decide which one. Nobody else.

In this powerful conversation, Wendy Valentine breaks down how the voice inside your head is either building you up or quietly tearing you down… and how to actually reset it. On purpose. Starting today.

Wendy is the host of the hit podcast The Midlife Makeover Show, a certified life coach, a sought-after speaker, and the author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play. She trained as a French pastry chef in Paris before launching multiple ventures over 25+ years. But what makes her work land so hard isn't just what she teaches… it's what she's LIVED.

Including a moment at 46 years old… on a bathroom floor… in the middle of divorce, debt, and devastating loss… where one wild vision changed everything.

(Spoiler: it involved an RV, a Sedona sunset, and a woman finally in the driver's seat.)

What if the biggest thing holding you back from your next breakthrough isn't a lack of strategy… but a lack of attention?

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of DREAM THINK DO, Mitch sits down with Mae Yoshikawa - writer, yogi, teacher, TEDx speaker, and founder of Kizuki Journaling - for a conversation that challenges how we think about awareness, action, and big dreams.

Mae shares how the Japanese concept of kizuki - those quiet "aha" moments of realization - can become the foundation for meaningful change in leadership, business, and life. Drawing from her personal journey through profound grief, cultural expectations, and identity shifts, Mae reveals why awareness must come before action - and why skipping that step often leads to burnout, fear, or staying small.

If you're an entrepreneur or leader who feels the tension between playing it safe and stepping into something bigger… this episode is for you.
