Common sense didn’t disappear.
We just stopped prioritizing it.

In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with author and educator Colleen Souza to unpack why core values—not hacks—are the real foundation for an extraordinary life.

Colleen shares how her 21 mantras from Living by the Mantras act as decision filters that shape behavior, strengthen relationships, and create long-term success.

Together, they dive into:

•  Why common sense feels rare in today’s world 
•  How values stabilize your mindset and reduce emotional chaos 
•  The role of parenting, leadership, and personal responsibility 
•  Why “you don’t rise to intentions—you default to values” 
•  How small, consistent choices build extraordinary lives 

You’ll walk away with practical mantras you can apply immediately:

✔ “I can’t… yet”
 ✔ “Always stop at the lemonade stand”
 ✔ “Get up. Dress up. Show up.”

If you’re tired of noise, burnout, and surface-level motivation—and ready to anchor your life in something real—this conversation will reset how you think, lead, and live.
