Mindset Coach Academy Podcast

I don't want to talk about business today, but I do want to talk about selling.

Because we're all 'selling' something. You're selling yourself in your career, you're selling your spouse on the vacation you want to go on, you're selling your kids on going to school.

Today, I'm chatting about the psychology of selling, and teaching you one small but mighty mindset shift that will help you hear 'yes' more often.

Some of the best, most valuable coaching you can get from anyone is to learn about all the ways they f-ed up. As students, we’re always looking for someone to save us from mistakes. Save us valuable time, resources, and energy. To teach us the shortcuts so that we can get to where we want to be faster. 

I’ve been a full time mindset coach for over a decade, and did mindset coaching on the side for much longer than that. So I can confidently tell you that I’ve made a ton of mistakes. Today, I’m going to share with you my top 10. 

These are 10 ways I self-sabotaged throughout the years. By devaluing my own time, by thinking I could do this on my own, by overcomplicating, and by skipping really fundamental steps. Steps that would have helped me build a stronger foundation faster. 

Please, for the love of god, learn from my mistakes.
Mistakes are an inevitable part of any big, brave journey. My mistakes are where so much of my learning as a business owner came from, and a big part of what got me to where I am today, which make them some of the most valuable things I can teach you. 

Let me know which mistake resonates most with you, and tell me about a mistake you made in YOUR business.

Today, I'm talking about the downside of gratitude. I wrote about this concept recently in my newsletter, because, at the age of 42, this is a new concept for me.

A lot of us here have similar traits. Traits that helped us be successful in sports. But sometimes, these strengths in sports don't serve us in other areas of our lives.

I'm really good at sucking it up. When something goes wrong, I am really good at minimizing it, shifting my thoughts, and focusing on all the good things in my life. That's a strength of mine in so many ways. But there's also a dark side to gratitude. And that's what I'm getting into today on The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast.

I'm so curious if you relate to my message today, so listen to today's Mental Monday episode to learn more and let me know what you think!

I am loving how much emotional learning is going on in school these days. I am constantly impressed by so many of the things that my kids are learning about identifying and regulating their emotions.

For example, my kid's public elementary school has a calm space for kids to go when they're feeling overwhelmed. And they're learning how to label and identify their feelings with colors and something called a "mood meter".

And, you know what, I am HERE for it.

Side note - If you are a teacher who teaches this stuff to young kids, THANK YOU.

All that to say, today's Mental Monday lesson comes from my 3 year old. It's a little mental exercise you can teach your kids, AND use yourself. It works at any age.

I want to talk today about advanced degrees in the mindset coaching industry. 

If you are thinking about joining The MCA Certification, you might be wondering if you should go back to school to get your degree instead. 

This is a question that comes up all time, and it’s one that I fully believe you should be asking. Because if you’re really serious about becoming a mindset coach, you should explore all your options. 

With 18 years of experience as a mindset coach, I have seen people go through my program both with and without degrees, and what I’ve learned is that an advanced degree does not determine whether or not you’ll be successful in this field. There are many other factors at play.

If you choose to go down the advanced degree path, I don’t want you to do it just because you think that’s what you SHOULD do. I want you to do it for the right reasons, knowing exactly what you have to gain by doing it. 

The goal of this episode is to show you the big picture when it comes to advanced degrees so you can decide if you need one. 

I won’t give you the answers, but I will give you the questions you should be asking so that you can make a decisive, informed decision, one way or another.

I bring a lot of hypnotism principles into what I teach. Now, because of all the preconceived notions around the word "hypnotism", I prefer to use broader words like visualization, metaphors, and breathwork. At its core, it's all of these things.

On today's Mental Monday, I'm sharing an exercise that I've been working on with my hypnotist, Dr. James Hollingsworth. This exercise has helped me settle my thoughts in time of stress and calm my nervous system when I'm feeling fried.

If you are going through something now, or just want to feel more equipped next time you're struggling, I really encourage you to listen to today's Mental Monday podcast and practice this exercise.

The more you practice it, the stronger it will get. Personally, I've been using it multiple times a day because it really does work.

Today's Mental Monday episode begins with a little story. The best thing about stories is that they're open to interpretation, and you can take what you need.

During the holidays, my house is wild. I have 4 daughters under 10 and my kids are all about Christmas.

Although the holidays are long behind us, this story (like all good holiday stories) has a lesson in it for all of us.

I want to take a moment to demystify the topic of visualization.

If you've been following me for a while, you've heard me talk about visualization. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan. I've used it to achieve my goals, on and off the field, and I've seen firsthand the life changing power of visualization over and over again. I believe visualization is one of the most powerful tools to help you get what you want.

That said, it's not uncommon to feel a little lost when it comes to visualization, maybe even a bit intimidated, or worried you'll do it wrong.

So today, i'm telling you exactly how you can start practicing visualization TODAY. You don't have to figure it out on your own, I've got you.

Press play to get started!

This episode is about obstacles. Ironically, I had so many obstacles when I tried to record it. Funny how that happens, isn’t it? 

To be more specific, this episode is about ANTICIPATING obstacles. Which may seem a little counterintuitive. Let’s say you have a big, scary, new goal and you decide to go for it. So many of us think we need to just focus on the positive stuff. We need to believe in ourselves to get momentum, we need to think happy thoughts, etc. etc. etc.

It often feels wrong to jump into something while thinking about all the ways it could go wrong. But today I’m going to explain to you why it’s absolutely necessary to think about that stuff. 

Anticipating obstacles is not manifesting the worst case scenario. Anticipating obstacles prepares you to be successful. Because when you don’t anticipate obstacles, you WILL be surprised by them, and that can lead to feeling overwhelmed, stuck, discouraged, or it can cause you to turn to what’s comfortable in the moment.

Anticipate obstacles gives you a chance to create a plan and solve for things ahead of time. This sets you up for success. 

In this episode, I cover:
