Mitzi Let’s Think About It.

Let's Think About "Music & Mental Health" With Special Guest Benjamin Barnes

What if a song can reach places within us that words sometimes can't?

In this deeply thoughtful episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi sits down with special guest Benjamin Barnes for a meaningful conversation about “Music & Mental Health.”

Music is everywhere. It can make us dance, bring back a memory, change our mood, help us process emotions, or simply make us feel understood when we can't find the words ourselves. But what is it about music that can affect us so deeply?

Benjamin joins Mitzi to explore the powerful relationship between music, emotions, mental health, memory, creativity, and human connection. Together, they talk about how music can become part of our stories and why certain songs can stay with us long after the final note.

This conversation goes beyond music as entertainment and invites us to think about the emotional role music can play in our everyday lives.

Because sometimes, we don't choose the song.

Sometimes, the song finds us exactly where we are.

Let's Think About "Dog Training" With Special Guest Drew Brashier

What if your personal brand isn’t about how the world sees you, but about whether the world truly understands who you are?

In this thought-provoking episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi sits down with special guest Lauren Bayne for a meaningful conversation about “Having a Personal Brand.”

Personal branding is often talked about in terms of visibility, social media, business, and creating the perfect image. But what happens when we look beyond the polished version of ourselves and ask a deeper question: What does your personal brand actually say about who you are?

Lauren brings insight into the importance of authenticity, intentionality, identity, communication, and how we show up in the world. Together, Mitzi and Lauren explore the difference between simply creating a personal brand and genuinely building a reputation that reflects your values, your story, and the person you are becoming.

This conversation invites you to think about how others experience you, what you communicate without saying a word, and whether the image you're presenting aligns with the person you truly want to be.

Because perhaps personal branding isn't just about being remembered.

Perhaps it's about being remembered for the right reasons.

Let's Think About "The Great Commission" With Special Guest Coach Pastor Jeff Grant

What if the Great Commission isn't simply something we're called to do, but a way we're called to live?

In this meaningful and thought-provoking episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi sits down with special guest Pastor Jeff Grant to explore “The Great Commission.”

For many Christians, the Great Commission is a familiar passage of Scripture. We hear the words to “go and make disciples,” but what does that actually look like in our everyday lives?

Together, Mitzi and Pastor Jeff go beyond simply discussing the words of Matthew 28:19–20 and explore the deeper meaning behind discipleship, faith, obedience, relationships, evangelism, and what it means to live out our faith beyond the walls of a church.

The Great Commission isn't only about where we go.

It can also challenge us to consider how we live, who we influence, what we model, and whether the way we love others points them toward Christ.

Pastor Jeff brings his perspective to a conversation that encourages listeners to reflect on their own faith journey and the responsibility—and opportunity—we each have to share God's love with others.

Let's Think About "Early Childhood Education and Educators Go Unrecognized" With Special Guest Coach Paul Buckley

What if some of the people shaping our children’s futures are the very people we notice the least?

In this deeply meaningful episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi sits down with special guest Paul Buckley to explore “Early Childhood Education and Educators Go Unrecognized.”

Early childhood is one of the most formative periods of a person's life. Yet the educators who spend their days nurturing, teaching, encouraging, comforting, and helping young children develop are often overlooked when we talk about the people who shape our future.

So why are early childhood educators so often unrecognized for the role they play?

Paul brings his perspective to a heartfelt conversation about early childhood education, educators, child development, the importance of early learning, and the people working behind the scenes to give children a strong foundation.

Together, Mitzi and Paul explore what happens when we underestimate the importance of those early years—and what it means for society when the people entrusted with helping shape young minds don't receive the recognition they deserve.

Because education doesn't begin when a child walks into a traditional classroom.

Sometimes, the most important lessons begin long before we realize we're learning them.

❤️ In this episode, we explore:

In this episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi sits down with special guest Neil Twa for a thought-provoking conversation about “Online Businesses.”

The online business world can look incredibly appealing from the outside. Entrepreneurship, flexibility, financial opportunity, freedom, and the ability to build something of your own—but what does it actually take to turn an idea into a sustainable business?

Neil brings his experience and perspective into a conversation about entrepreneurship, e-commerce, business ownership, mindset, opportunity, and what it means to build a business in an increasingly digital world.

Together, Mitzi and Neil look beyond the surface of “making money online” and explore the realities of building a business, recognizing opportunities, understanding the marketplace, making decisions, and creating something that can continue to grow.

Because perhaps the biggest question isn't simply:

“Can I build an online business?”

Maybe it's:

“What am I willing to build—and who am I willing to become along the way?”

Let's Think About "Reconciliation" With Special Guest CC Robinson

What if reconciliation isn't about pretending the hurt never happened, but about deciding what you want to do with the space between you and someone else?

In this meaningful episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi welcomes special guest CC Robinson for a thoughtful conversation about reconciliation, forgiveness, relationships, conflict, healing, communication, and the courage it can take to rebuild a connection that has been broken.

Relationships can become complicated.

Words can hurt.

Trust can be damaged.

Misunderstandings can grow into distance.

And sometimes, people we once felt closest to become people we barely know how to talk to anymore.

But when a relationship becomes fractured, is reconciliation always possible? And if it is, what does it actually require?

Mitzi and CC explore the deeper meaning of reconciliation and the difference between forgiving someone, rebuilding trust, repairing a relationship, setting boundaries, and simply making peace with what happened.

Together, they reflect on questions such as:

What does true reconciliation look like?

Is forgiveness necessary for reconciliation?

Can a relationship be repaired after trust has been broken?

How important are honesty and communication?

When should we pursue reconciliation—and when might boundaries be necessary?

What role does accountability play in repairing relationships?

Can reconciliation sometimes begin with ourselves?

This conversation isn't about offering easy answers to complicated relationships.

It's about creating space to think, reflect, and consider what healing and restoration might look like in our own lives.

As always, Mitzi, Let’s Think About It invites you to connect with both your mind and your heart while asking questions that may challenge the way you see yourself, others, and the relationships you carry.

Because reconciliation doesn't always mean going back to the way things were.

Sometimes it means finding a healthier way forward.

Let's Think About "Post-Traumatic Growth" With Special Guest Alisa Gracheva

What if surviving something painful isn't the end of the story—and what if growth can emerge from places we never wanted to go?

In this deeply meaningful episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi welcomes special guest Alisa Gracheva for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about post-traumatic growth, resilience, healing, transformation, and the unexpected ways people can change after experiencing adversity.

When we experience something deeply painful, we often focus on what was lost, what was broken, and what may never be the same again.

But there is another question worth exploring:

What can grow from what we've been through?

Post-traumatic growth doesn't mean that trauma was good, necessary, or something we should be grateful for. It doesn't erase pain, minimize suffering, or suggest that someone should simply “move on.”

Instead, it explores the possibility that some people can experience positive psychological change after adversity—developing new perspectives, deeper relationships, greater appreciation for life, personal strength, or a renewed sense of purpose.

Mitzi and Alisa explore this powerful concept while inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences with hardship, change, and resilience.

Together, they consider:

What is post-traumatic growth?

How is growth different from simply “getting over” something?

Can difficult experiences change the way we see ourselves and our lives?

How can adversity reshape our priorities and relationships?

Where can meaning and purpose emerge after hardship?

Why shouldn't we confuse healing with forgetting?

Can we grow while still acknowledging that something hurt us deeply?

As always, Mitzi, Let’s Think About It creates space for conversations that go beyond easy answers and invite listeners to connect with both their minds and their hearts.

Because healing isn't always about returning to who you were before.

Sometimes it's about discovering who you can become afterward.

Let's Think About "Why We Should Think" With Special Guest Bamzy

What if one of the most important things we can do isn't to find more answers, but to become better at asking the right questions?

In this thought-provoking episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi welcomes special guest Bamzy for a fascinating conversation about thinking, curiosity, critical thinking, self-awareness, perspective, decision-making, and the power of slowing down long enough to truly consider what we believe.

We spend our days surrounded by information, opinions, notifications, expectations, and voices telling us what to think.

But how often do we stop and ask:

“Why do I think this?”

Where did our beliefs come from? Are they truly ours? How much of the way we see the world has been shaped by our experiences, our environment, the people around us, and the information we've consumed?

Mitzi and Bamzy explore why we should think—not simply as an intellectual exercise, but as an essential part of understanding ourselves and the world around us.

This conversation invites listeners to reflect on:

The difference between thinking and simply reacting

Why questioning our assumptions matters

How curiosity can expand our perspective

The role of critical thinking in everyday decisions

How our experiences shape the way we think

Why being willing to reconsider an idea can be a strength

How deeper thinking can lead to greater self-awareness

As always, Mitzi, Let’s Think About It isn't about telling you what to believe.

It's about creating the space to think for yourself.

Because sometimes the most meaningful transformation begins with a simple question:

“Why?”

Join Mitzi and Bamzy for a conversation designed to challenge assumptions, spark curiosity, and encourage you to look at your own thoughts from a fresh perspective.

When was the last time you stopped—not to react, but to really think?

Let's Think About "Writing" With Special Guest James Metts

What if writing isn't simply about putting words on a page, but about discovering something within yourself that was waiting to be expressed?

In this thought-provoking episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi welcomes special guest James Metts for an engaging conversation about writing, creativity, self-expression, storytelling, ideas, emotions, and the powerful connection between what we think and what we put into words.

Writing can be many things.

It can be a career, a creative outlet, a way to communicate, a place to process our thoughts, or simply a way to make sense of the world around us.

Sometimes we write because we have something to say.

Other times, we don't realize what we have to say until we begin writing.

Mitzi and James explore the deeper meaning behind writing and what happens when we give ourselves permission to put our thoughts, experiences, questions, and imagination into words.

Together, they reflect on questions such as:

Why do people feel compelled to write?

Can writing help us understand ourselves?

Where do ideas come from?

What role does vulnerability play in writing?

How can writing give a voice to thoughts we struggle to express out loud?

Does every writer have a story worth telling?

What happens when we stop worrying about perfection and simply begin?

This conversation isn't only for professional writers or aspiring authors. It's for anyone who has ever journaled, written a story, expressed themselves through words, or wondered whether their own thoughts might be worth sharing.

As always, Mitzi, Let’s Think About It invites you to slow down, reflect, and connect with both your mind and your heart.

Because sometimes writing isn't about finding the perfect words.

It's about having the courage to tell the truth of what you're thinking and feeling.

What might you discover about yourself if you simply started writing?

Let's Think About "Writing a Book" With Special Guest Suzy Vadori

What if the story you've been carrying inside you isn't just a story—but something waiting to be shared with the world?

In this inspiring episode of Mitzi, Let’s Think About It, Mitzi welcomes special guest Suzy Vadori for a fascinating conversation about writing a book, storytelling, creativity, finding your voice, overcoming self-doubt, and what it really takes to turn an idea into something readers can hold in their hands.

Writing a book can seem like a dream that belongs to someone else—until the idea begins taking root in your own mind.

Maybe you've always wanted to write.

Maybe there's a story you've been carrying for years.

Maybe you have knowledge or experiences you believe could help someone else.

Or perhaps you simply have an idea that won't leave you alone.

But between “I want to write a book” and actually writing one are questions, challenges, uncertainty, and plenty of opportunities to doubt yourself.

Mitzi and Suzy explore the creative and personal journey of becoming an author, from developing an idea and finding your voice to navigating the writing process and staying committed when the words don't come easily.

Together, they reflect on questions such as:

Where does a book idea really begin?

What does it take to turn an idea into a complete story?

How do writers overcome self-doubt?

Why is finding your authentic voice so important?

What can aspiring authors learn from the writing process?

How do you keep going when inspiration fades?

What makes a story connect with readers?

As always, Mitzi, Let’s Think About It is about more than simply discussing a subject. It's about creating space to pause, reflect, and connect with both your mind and your heart.

Because sometimes the hardest part of writing a book isn't putting words on a page.

It's believing your words are worth putting there.

What story, idea, or message are you carrying that might be waiting for you to finally write it down?
