Ep 94 | Growth Mindset (Part 2) Rewriting the Beliefs That Hold You Back

17 minutes

Hey friends! In this heartfelt, game-changing episode of She Finds Joy. I’m pulling back the curtain on the beliefs that shape every single part of our lives. So many of us feel stuck—not because we aren’t capable, but because we’ve unconsciously adopted old stories about who we are and what we can achieve. Today, we’re diving into the science and soul of how you can start to rewrite those beliefs and reclaim your personal agency—and your joy!

Key Topics Covered:

The Power Beneath the Surface: I break down how 95% of our decisions and behaviors stem from the subconscious beliefs we picked up as young as six years old. Think of your mind like an iceberg—your conscious thoughts are just the tip, while everything else runs below the waterline, quietly directing your life.

Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset: Let’s talk about what happens when you believe your talents and intelligence are set in stone versus choosing the power of “yet.” I share real-life examples from education, the workplace, and my own life—because no one was born with a perfect mindset! Together, we explore how growth mindset people embrace challenges, persist through obstacles, and use feedback as fuel.

Beliefs Change Everything (Even Your Body!): I reveal the surprising results of a study from Germany showing how powerful our beliefs are—men who believed they’d had knee surgery healed... even when some never actually received it! This is a jaw-dropping demonstration of how much our thoughts shape our reality.

How You Can Shift Your Beliefs: Here’s the good news: you aren’t stuck with the stories you inherited! I talk about the importance of feeding your brain new, empowering information. Whether it’s books, podcasts, mentoring, or simply surrounding yourself with positive influences, change is possible when you act on fresh knowledge.

Bringing Growth Mindset to Your Workplace and Life: If you’re seeing burnout or resistance in your team, school, or organization, you’re not alone. I explain why embracing challenge and feedback is essential—for both personal transformation and business success.

Action Steps:

Notice those old, limiting stories you tell yourself—and challenge them!

Feed your mind new beliefs: read, listen, and seek out people who spark growth.

Take one small action based on what you learn—don’t just think, do!

Embrace challenges, and remind yourself: “I can’t do this... yet!”

If your colleagues or team are stuck, share this episode and start a conversation about mindset.

Notable Quotes:

“Our mindset is only as strong as the beliefs that sit underneath it.”

“You have the ability to extract old belief systems and download new ones.”

“It’s not knowledge that is power—it’s acting on the knowledge that is power.”

“When we change our belief systems, we change our lives.”

Listener Challenge:

I want you to get really honest with yourself:

Where in your life are you showing up as that six-year-old version who believes ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘This isn’t possible for me’?
