In this week’s Mindset Matters episode, “It’s a Gift,” hosts Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey unpack why the present moment is the single most powerful asset in your personal-growth toolkit. If you’ve ever found yourself replaying past traumas or fast-forwarding into anxious worst-case scenarios, this conversation will recalibrate your focus to right now—where clarity, creativity, and momentum truly live.

Patrick opens by challenging the myth that the future is where life happens, reminding listeners that the only place we can actually create that future is the present. Together, the couple explores how mental clutter—outdated belief systems, ego-driven self-talk, and digital distractions—steals attention span and fuels anxiety. Drawing on Patrick’s early-morning journaling practice and Steffany’s high-performance coaching with elite athletes, they share practical mind-shui tactics for clearing internal noise: intentional breathing, silent reflection, gratitude writing, and single-task listening. A touching story about the passing of Patrick’s 97-year-old mother illustrates the profound peace that comes from being fully present for life’s most meaningful moments.
