Mindset Meets Mastery

“Never give up and your child will surprise you. Your child has so much to give. Be grateful for their loving heart.” -Karen Franco

Arlene will talk to author, speaker, special needs advocate, and parent Karen Franco regarding the mindsets of supporting children with special needs (especially those on the autism spectrum). Myths about how these children don't want to fit in or have friends because the truth is quite the opposite. These special children want to be like everyone else and have friends. They just do it differently and may need more guidance and help. We will discuss how best to support, teach, understand, and accept these children and the parents who love them. These are the goals for this episode of Mindset Meets Mastery with Arlene Gale and in the books written by Karen Franco that are perfect teaching tools in school, homes, and anywhere children learn and play.

“You can’t have healthy relationships unless your relationship with yourself is healthy first. Self-awareness, self-reflection, self-care, and the mindsets around your value are the foundation of any type of positive relationship.” -Leah JM Dean

There are many forms of relationships: parent-child, husband-wife, employer-employee, caregiver, friend, and more. A variety of feelings come with having and maintaining any relationships. But it seems that specifically complicated is relationships happening with women and between women. This episode is for you if you are one of my lady listeners or if you're a man who loves a lady or is raising a young lady.  Is it possible to make better and deeper connections with women? Is it okay to have "necessary conversations" to determine the health and maintenance of a relationship? Do we have a limited capacity for a certain number or depth of relationships? Is it really possible to make healthy, mutually beneficial, lifelong connections with other women? My expert guest today, Leah JM Dean, a Tribe Formation Expert, answers these questions and discusses her formula to deepen our relationship with ourselves, our friends (especially between women), family, and more.  Leah Dean has created a simple, but very powerful formula for building a tribe that stands the test of time. In her soon to be released book "Assemble the Tribe: Believe in Your Value. Find Belonging. Be Different." Leah shares her trademarked formula based on proprietary research and shows us how to shift our mindset by first discovering the value that we bring to every connection we make.

“Pain, loss, and suffering is tied to our human existence. And yet, at the same time, we can experience joy and pleasure by figuring out what it means to be a human being in the face of all the things that we feel.” -Dr. Kelly Holder

What feelings do the holidays evoke for you? Many people get super excited, even making plans way before the day. Yet, some find it hard to celebrate and even feel downhearted. Perhaps, the holidays bring back painful memories like the loss of a loved one, or being separated from the people they wish were there to celebrate with them. There are also family frictions, tensions, and differences that disrupt peace and rob off all the enjoyment. This week, Arlene and Dr. Kelly Holder talk about how you can celebrate the holidays without grief or shame. Kelly discusses how you can set up healthy boundaries, make room for differences, deal with grief, honor your loved ones who have died, and get closer with the people around you. If you’re torn between mourning a loss and celebrating life, know that these are not choices you have to pick from. They are instead, opportunities that you can take to learn how to be more human despite all the adversities. Listen in for awesome holiday ideas you can do this year to make this season more enjoyable and memorable!

You can also listen to more of Kelly’s wisdom, tips, and advice about coping with feelings of uncertainty and holiday blues.

“The two most important questions that have the biggest impact on success or failure in your professional or personal life are: Can I trust you? and Can you trust me?” -Dr. Yoram Solomon

Trust is one of those simple words that make our life complicated. We enter into a relationship and make decisions based on trust. We display a whole array of qualities like love, loyalty, and courage simply because we trust someone or something. Why do we do that? Frankly, trust is more of a mystery to many of us. But that mystery is going to be unveiled in today's episode! Arlene and Dr. Yoram Solomon, the man behind The Book of Trust, talk about what trust is, how the media affects the way we trust others, and how trust affects how we perceive things, learn behaviors, interpret contexts, and even build trust from a common enemy. Dr. Solomon also gives us a glint at some of the Laws of Trust and the Components of Trustworthiness. Lastly, we learn the +1 of trust when all else fails. Press play and join the conversation!

“If you never try anything hard, you’ll never know what you're good at. If you stop at failure, you will never be successful.” -Sean Douglas 

We are discussing the many elements and depths related to achieving  success with Sean Douglas, CEO of The Success Corp.  Is failure an option on the way to success? Is risk a necessary evil? Is it possible that different people measure success differently? Is success fluid and does it change with different seasons of life? Is it possible to be successful and still be unhappy? Should we stop comparing our success with other people’s or is there value in doing so? The answers may surprise you and help reset your mindsets for gaining success mastery. Arlene and Sean have a heartfelt, honest discussion about facing obstacles, including suicide, and finding happiness despite a negative past.  Talk about success as a mental health issue, too.

“Have goals that make you happy and work yourself towards those goals because that upward movement is going to give you positivity and make you happy.” -Steve Haffner

Have you ever made a decision and later realized that it’s one of your worst choices ever? Or have you ever been stuck between crossroads and didn’t know what to do? We make decisions every day, but sometimes, it feels like we still fail to get the hang of it. In this episode, we’re talking to Steve Haffner, the Decision Performance Expert, about how to be a Decision-Making Wizard! Steve explains how our primitive lizard brain affects how we resolve dilemmas and how to confront and outsmart that scared-y reptile. Sometimes, it’s not healthy to face challenges alone. Steve underlines the crucial part of having accountability partners in avoiding the trap of being emotionally reactive and putting your core values in the forefront to make sure your decisions align with who you are. You are certainly not the type to be deceived by illusions! So before you make your mind on something, listen in and find out how to activate your bigger brain and make decisions you’ll be happy with.
