Have you ever felt like a new job, a new relationship, or a fresh start in a different city would finally make everything better? In this episode of The Mindset Fix, I share the personal reflection that hit me after reading a simple poem that, on the surface, is about a town—but to me, it meant so much more.
We’ll unpack why changing your environment doesn’t always change your life, and I’ll walk you through three mindset shifts that can help you stop running and start growing—right where you are. Plus, I’ll share two short fictional stories that bring this lesson to life in a powerful and relatable way.
If you’ve been waiting for something outside of you to change, this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.
