First, you will hear my interview with Chris Patella, owner and operator of Animal Assisted Therapy Services in Milford, CT.

Hello Blisstners! This week we are going to talk about mindset. Dr. Carol Dweck, a Stanford University psychologist, has research proving that our brains are adaptable and we can learn new skills even if we once thought we couldn’t. I think this topic is important because many people think they are stuck or they can’t do something because they weren’t born with that talent, or because they have never done it before. Sometimes they think this new thing isn’t for them, because it is not how they have always done something. I hope this episode helps you learn more about yourself and if you have a fixed mindset today, I hope you learn how you can change it for tomorrow. Enjoy!
