Growth Through Letting Go: Mastering Mindset, Gratitude, and Authentic Well-Being with Thomas Malpass

Listen Later

In this refreshing 30-minute episode, Thomas Malpass (co-host of the Unwritten Podcast) joins host Charu to explore the quiet yet transformative pillars of personal growth and wellness. From the danger of fixed mindsets to the life-changing simplicity of daily gratitude, Thomas shares how true well-being isn’t about adding more routines — it’s often about courageous subtraction. With raw honesty, he reveals why ego, judgment, and the need to “measure” progress keep most people stuck, and how a single deep breath and honest reflection can realign an entire life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Most people underestimate their own capability; shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset (as explained in Carol Dweck’s Mindsets) is the starting point of all real success.
  • Growth comes from BOTH intentional practice AND navigating adversity — suffering is inevitable, but choosing to act is what creates evolution.
  • The most overlooked wellness habit? Gratitude. Even in the darkest moments (financial hardship, toxic relationships), finding one thing to be thankful for rewires the brain away from fight-or-flight negativity.
  • Wellness is often about subtraction, not addition — let go of ego, judgment, over-scheduling, and tying your worth to productivity or material success.
  • Stop measuring well-being like a rat race (“Was I better than yesterday?” is enough). Constant measurement feeds the illusion that you’re never enough.
  • When feeling misaligned: Pause → deep breath → go for a walk → ask “What do I REALLY want?” → set boundaries → surround yourself with the right people.
  • Letting go of ego and judgment daily opens the door to genuine compassion — because at the end of the day, every human just wants to feel loved and understood.
