Episode #130: Kintsugi - The Art of Putting the pieces together
Mindset First Podcast
Today is the last episode in the series focusing on helping you restore and overcome the limiting belief of feeling like you’re broken. Today’s episode is all about the art of Kintsugi - weaving threads of gold through your broken pieces to create something even more beautiful. I am going to talk about how really honoring this art from Japan can help you thread an entirely new picture of your life, one where you absolutely forgo the idea that you were broken in the first place - one where you see how special and beautiful you really are. Let’s dive in.

Episode #129: Reconnecting to Your Worth
Mindset First Podcast
Today’s episode talks about how you can go from feeling broken and settling for less, to owning your self-worth and really taking your power back in life.

You can begin to have your needs met and begin to believe in yourself.

Episode #128: Shifting the Belief of I'm Broken (Going Within)
Mindset First Podcast
When you carry the feeling that you’re broken, you can think that you will feel that way forever. Or at least that you will feel that way anytime anything bad happens to you. But the truth is that you can change your belief - in fact, you can change any limiting belief you hold about yourself or the world. No matter whether you’ve felt or believed you were broken for 10 minutes or several decades, today we’re going to talk about the fact that you can begin to shift that belief by going within. And while this isn’t an overnight process, it is one that can help you feel more confident,...

Episode #127: The Impact of Feeling Like You’re Broken
Mindset First Podcast
We’d like to think that the thoughts in our head, stay in our head. That they don’t have impact on our lives, actions, or outer world. But the old adage of what you are or what you experience is what you think - is 100% true. Your perspective colors what you see - so even if you never tell anyone that you hold beliefs like “I feel broken”, chances are you are experiencing the impact of that belief in a multiple ways in your outer world. In this episode I want to help you understand the impact of believing your broken and how repeated buy-in to that belief is likely limiting your growth...

Episode #126: Fix Me, I’m Broken: How This One Thought Is Ruining Everything
Mindset First Podcast
Oh gosh, I’m so excited for you to join me. It’s been a while since I recorded a podcast and this new series I’m kicking off is important. I can’t tell you how many times a week I hear from individuals and clients who tell me they’re broken. And while sometimes they may say it jokingly, this single - horribly destructive - belief is at the core of why so many of us are still suffering in life or at the very least, not getting what we really want. Too many of us are carrying a shame and pain around this feeling and as a result - I’ve decided to record a five series podcast about the...

The Two Story Fallacy: Why Brand Storytelling Can Feel So Hard with Lindsay Hotmire
Mindset First Podcast
Although we’ve talked about storytelling before on the podcast, I keep coming back to it because the truth is that there is something deep about connecting to our own personal story - it can elevate you or bring you to your knees. So, we have to be careful what stories we tell ourselves and the world. The more I experience life I know this to be true. So, on today’s podcast I wanted to bring Lindsay Hotmire on to share her take on storytelling - mostly because I enjoy reading her content and feel that she really seeks to understand her clients from the inside out. Lindsay herself has...

The Tactical Side of Mindset with Frenchie Ferenczi
Mindset First Podcast
When it comes to growing your business, it’s no secret that I believe mindset needs to come first, but it’s not all about working on your mindset. You have to take action if you’re going to move through life’s plateaus and achieve next level growth. But not all action is equal. One thing I’ve learned is that as a quick start I can take action, but that doesn’t mean it’s always right action. Same goes for my counterparts who want to think through every single possible outcome before they take action - that may not always lead to right action either. Today on the podcast I sit down...

Handling Backslides: How to Get Back Up Again
Mindset First Podcast
It can be hard when things don’t go the way you’ve planned or if the business you’ve worked hard to build suddenly feels like it’s sliding downward rather than growing and thriving. But how we handle these backslides, missteps, mistakes or even failures can indicate how we’ll rebound and how we’ll handle the next big challenge. I often think that backslides can be an invitation to grow bigger and to challenge what’s really possible. But that’s not always how I handled them and chances are it may not be how you’re handling a backslide or bad situation in your life or business....

SOULBRIETY: A Plan to Heal Your Trauma, Overcome Addiction, and Reconnect with Your Soul
Mindset First Podcast
One of the things I don’t often talk about on the podcast is my constant fascination and observation about the ways we run away from ourselves. We live in a society that glorifies numbing out as a way of dealing with discomfort and I see that more and more the business world seems to address stress, anxiety and crisis with substance. I know personally I have had those days where wine becomes the go-to as a way to destress, but in reality it makes things worse. I also have seen people abstain but still struggle with finding greater satisfaction. Today on the Mindset First Podcast I want to...

Ditch the Hustle Mindset & Build Sustainable Growth
Mindset First Podcast
As someone who grew up with a clear message to make myself indispensable in any situation, hustling and making things happen are almost second nature to me. But hustling can lead to a lot of frenetic business growth and personal overwhelm. I know because I have been there many times in my life. This hustle mentality is certainly encouraged by our culture with little isms like “the early bird gets the worm”, “hustle brings the dollar” and others. And although many of us who are business owners started our own businesses to rebel against that kind of hustle culture - I’ve often found...
info_outlineSo, if you’ve hung out with me and listened to this podcast before, you know that I love talking about fear. Not because I have some dark fixation around it - but really because I know how much fear can dictate choices and limit growth. I personally struggled with so many fears that held me back from really achieving my full potential for years and years - so, once I understood how to break free - it felt a bit like a miracle I had to keep sharing.
Today on the podcast, I talk about how our first natural inclination with fear is to pivot or paralyze and how both can be detrimental to growth. I share why this happens and how you can start to shift from either position into intentional action that aligns with your vision and builds greater things.
So, if you’re someone in either of these two camps - or if you’re not sure, but experience a lot of fear - this episode is for you.
