Dreaming, setting intentions, and keeping yourself accountable are not easy in the world we currently live in. Our society has built systems that erode the individual and collective spaces that hold these generative processes. This is a powerful time of year to begin to reclaim the space of pausing in the darkness to be with yourself, dream new possibilities, and lay the foundation for what you want to create in the world.

In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I share insights and tips on the power of dreaming, setting intentions, and keeping yourself accountable as we head into a new year.

Some of what I explore in this episode includes:

• Embracing end of year energy (darkness
• The importance of pausing and why it’s hard
• Understanding intentions and creating accountability
• You don’t have to be perfect, just present

Curiosity is one of the most important tools we have for creating deeper connection, healthier culture, and more aligned leadership. When we slow down enough to notice and question our unconscious assumptions, we open the door to new possibilities. This, in turn, expands our sense of hope and improves our ability to collaborate with others. In this conversation, we explore how organizational culture is shaped, how we shape our personal relationships, and the role curiosity plays in shifting limiting patterns in both areas. You’ll walk away with practical ways to listen differently, ask better questions, and align your actions with the human you most want to be.

In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Danielle Marshall to join me in a conversation about why leading with curiosity is key to intentionally cultivating what you want in your business and personal life.

Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:

• What you need to build a strong organizational culture
• Simple curiosity supporting questions that strengthen relationships in personal and professional life.
• Recognizing and reframing limiting beliefs that keep you from your potential
• Practical ways to slow down, reduce assumptions, and create more intentional connections.

Thanks for listening!

The holiday season often brings a swirl of emotions. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable emotions can often overwhelm the joy we want to embrace. Many people experience tension around grief, traditions, gift-giving, and expectations. Navigating these challenges means finding ways to honor grief, fostering meaningful connections with healthy boundaries, and using gratitude as a tool not a weapon. The reflections in this episode offer guidance for moving through the season with greater intentionality. You don't have to be perfect to create the holiday experience you want.

In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I share some holiday reflections for navigating grief, gifts, and gratitude with intention and mindfulness.

Some of what I explore in this episode includes:

• Navigating grief and loss during the holiday season with practical emotional support strategies
• Mindful and meaningful holiday gift-giving, including setting healthy boundaries
• Embracing mindful spending and supporting financial well-being
• Practicing gratitude, hope, and courage to cultivate authentic connections and community support during holidays
