New Year, new season, new mindset.  How can we shift our mindset? We can be surviving in a mindset that keeps us small, limited, and unfulfilled. It's time to make a pivot towards a new mindset.  

The battle lies in the mind.  Your biggest obstacle might not be your co-worker, boss, or even your enemy.  It might just be your mind.

In this week's episode, we talk about shifting our mind to gain clarity, freedom and focus. 

How do we finally achieve our goals and dreams by shifting our mindset?

Have you wondered why certain goals never become a reality?

It's time for a new perspective. Grab your coffee and step inside the MomStuffCoffeeShop.

The Fear of Failure
Why do we fear failure?
1. We tried it and it didn’t work
2. We think it’s just too hard
3. We’ve been operating in fear for a long time
4. We interpret this feeling, this way of thinking, to be who we are
5. In other words, we bring all of our failures in the current moment.

I’ve tried so many things that just didn’t work out

1. I tried making x amount of dollars when I first started out in the beauty industry ( I use to count the squares on the floor while my co-worker had all the clients)
2. I tried real estate. The problem was, I was caught between a growing business and finding the time to build another business in between. I failed.
3. I tried being a rapper when I was a teenager. I loved music, dancing, and just that whole 90’s vibe, and of course I failed.
4. As a mom, I tried methods that just didn’t work individually for each one of my children.
5. Fear had it’s ugly foot in the door early in my life, and after a series of failures, I begin to feel like fear was so engrained, I stop trying all together.
In today's episode, we go into some tools tips and strategies to help you overcome fear of failure.

Step inside this week's episode to gain some insight on "What can we do now". I sit down and speak with two educators from the Miami Dade county school system. They give us some insight on things we can do to quite our minds, help our children, and get back to family during this pandemic.  

It's going to be a real treat.

Over the years, women have come to me with all sorts of pain, trauma, and brokenness. 

I have watched women gain it all and lose it all. I’ve watched as mothers have been traumatized by painful divorces, incarcerated children, spouses walking out,losing great careers, causing some to lose everything and start over from scratch, and even the loss of a child.

I’ve also been blessed to see the great comebacks! 

I’ve seen hope in action. 

My goal is to give you some of the same tools these resilient women used, to overcome obstacles  and win again!
