Episode 135. Growth Mindset in Motherhood + Business: Showing Up As Your Best Self in Both

Episode 135

My best friend wrote a book about business and I couldn’t help but read it through the motherhood lens as well. So that’s what this episode is about: applying business principles to motherhood as a way for moms to find their balance between the two. We’ll talk about the principles of growth mindset in both our professional and personal lives. We’re besties, so this episode starts out super informal and has it’s off the cuff moments throughout, but we do dive into the nitty gritty and I can promise you’ll walk away with some useful insights on how to show up as your best self in both motherhood and business.

Amanda has a section in her book where she talks about growth mindset. Finding joy in work and living the life you want to have. Finding what gives you life and joy. She lists the following elements of growth mindset that we’re going to talk about:

  • Reflection
  • Cultivating Your Purpose
  • Take on Challenges
  • Foster Grit
  • Write Your Goals
  • Check Your Attitude
  • Ask for Feedback
  • Stop Seeking Approval
  • Reward Actions, Not Traits

Wellnesse. I have a new affiliate relationship I’m excited to share with you! Wellnesse, the company started by the amazing Katie Wells of The Wellness Mama Podcast reached out to me and asked if I’d like to join their affiliate team to which I replied an enthusiastic YES! I was already a fan of their products and use them every day. My family uses their shampoos, conditioners, toothpastes (including a strawberry kids toothpaste my girls love), dry shampoo, toothbrushes, copper tongue scraper, and silk floss. I really appreciate their focus on clean, quality ingredients and that they value performance, transparency, and accountability as a B Corp. Their products work. And I trust Katie’s judgement when it comes to ingredients because we feel the same about products…our body absorbs what we put on our skin, so what we put on our skin matters.
