Today\u2019s episode is an episode from almost two years ago where I talk about collective trauma and growth mindset.\xa0As I listened back to this episode recently, I was quick to realize the collective trauma we were experiencing two years ago as we clawed our way out of Covid still hasn\u2019t been healed.\xa0From where I\u2019m sitting, people are still suffering in tremendous ways and as we approach what many consider to be the most disappointing and disheartening election season of our lives, the sense of instability and insecurity across the US cannot be overstated.\xa0\xa0\nGiven the state of the US and the world, I thought it would be helpful and supportive to revisit this episode so we can continue to move forward and see potential in our day-to-day lives, in spite of all the things we cannot control.\xa0\xa0\nAn article on collective trauma in Psychology Today states that collective trauma \u201ccan change the entire fabric of a community\u2026 In fact, collective trauma can impact relationships, alter policies and governmental processes, alter the way the society functions, and even change its social norms.\u201d\xa0\nOnce we acknowledge that we are experiencing this and have been for years now, we can see how our mindsets have shifted to match this arduous cultural moment in history.\xa0In fact, it stands to reason that we have quite possibly (and very understandably) shifted our default mindset to a fixed mindset framework, instead of a growth mindset framework.\xa0Best-selling author, Carol Dweck, provides fantastic guidance around this terminology and topic.\nIn this Greatest Hits episode, we explore why you might be defaulting to fixed mindset, how it\u2019s limiting you, and how to shift out of it to see more opportunities, potential & possibilities in your life - instead of defaulting to seeing obstacles & roadblocks.\xa0This isn\u2019t to say the obstacles aren\u2019t real.\xa0Things are hard.\xa0But let\u2019s uncover how to hold space for two truths:\n\nThings are hard.\xa0\n\nYou are resourceful and resilient and can make great things happen in your life.\xa0\n\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\nAttend my Influence & Ignite Retreat for Women Business Owners: shamelessmom.com/retreat\n\n\nPsychology Today article: What is Collective Trauma?\n\n\nBook: Mindset by Carol Dweck\n\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
