Are you too busy? Do you feel rushed? Do you feel like you don’t have enough time? We often believe that the output we produce is dependent on the time we spend. Well that's not true because it doesn’t take into account the magnificence of your brain. Your brain has huge capability and you aren’t even utilizing a fraction of it. This is the reason when I tell women I can help them free up 10+ hours each week for their personal goals, they seem shocked and don't believe it's possible And yet, few weeks into the program, they not only easily take out and spend 10 hours on their goals, they start being so impactful in their time while enjoying every single thing they do. So what changes? Well I of-course don’t give them extra hours but I help them utilize their brain’s power to increase their impact. When their impact increases,  they get more done in less time and feel more empowered, confident and in control of their time and life. In this podcast, you will understand why you aren’t able to perform to your capability and what you can do to increase your impact. Learning this is learning how to get more from your time and life. If you want to know how to utilize your brain’s leverage in creating the life you want, book your free session by clicking below.

Growth requires change. When we grow, we change into a different version of ourselves who thinks differently, feels differently. However often we try to change by taking a lot of action, but our actions are not aligned with our identity and don’t produce the results we want. Those actions prove ineffective because they are in conflict with the identity your brains associate with. This is why focusing just on action and not on changing the mindset is the hard and long way of getting to your goals.The smart and quicker way is to focus on the mindset change instead which fuels inspired action. This is what utilizes your brain’s power to leap towards growth making it way more effective and faster. Tune in to know how to utilize the power of changing mindsets / identify to fast track your growth. I call this balance of being and doing.

What is failure to you?Is it not being rich or not being in shape or not raising smart kids or not achieving a level in your profession?None of these are failures. I believe the biggest failure is when you don’t enjoy the process called ‘LIFE’You may end up achieving so many goals but if you haven’t enjoyed the process of getting there, then it is just a list of accomplishments that have no real value for you and you will question why you even did it. Failure is only when you give up. Until you call it quits, it’s not failure. Only when you enjoy the process, will you be willing to keep going until you succeed. You never fail. In this episode I challenge some of the existing beliefs you might have that are not working for you. And I share with you an alternate set of beliefs that have worked wonders for me and my clients. Tune in to know how changing your beliefs can help ensure you become successful and enjoy the process called ‘LIFE’

Do you wonder whether you have it in you to achieve your dreams (e.g. becoming a CXO ?)You may think that people who achieve extraordinary success are special. But that's not correct. Those who become successful aren’t special. There is just one big difference in them though – They choose to think differently. They choose to be self-confident rather than self - doubting. We all experience the world based on our thoughts. Both self-doubt and self-confidence comes from your thoughts. You feel self -confident when you choose to focus on thoughts that create self-confidence just as you feel self-doubt when you choose to focus on thoughts that create self-doubt.So which one are you choosing ? Tune in to know how choosing this is the difference between living your dream life vs. staying stuck. Learn from my client who achieved her goal in 6 weeks by learning to focus on thoughts that create self confidenceIf you want to replace your self-doubt with self-confidence, book a free coaching session with me at www.mindtalesconsulting.comEnjoy listening :)

Each of us want same things from any relationship i.e. to feel heard, understood, accepted and loved.Yet, we don’t do these for others. We put conditions on our love for others. We withdraw our love from others based on these conditions. This is what causes relationship issues. This is the reason our relationships drain us and aren’t as fun. In this episode I talk about the power of unconditional love – the power of loving unconditionally. Unconditional love for others not only feels amazing for us, it is what makes relationships so awesome. ‘I love you just as you are’ is the most amazing thing one can say or hear in a relationship. And the foundation of it all is our unconditional love for ourselves. When we learn to love ourselves unconditionally, we don’t need anyone to be any different to feel loving towards them.We can choose to feel unconditional love no matter what and it feels amazing.Tune in to know how to tap into this power of unconditional love for self and others as I share real stories of me and my clients learning this.

I am teaching you the most important tool I learnt in life coaching which changed my life and gave me the clarity I was so desperate for. And I promise you it’s going to change the way you look at your life too. I know it has transformed the way all my clients think about their lives. You have probably heard these words several times – “You create your reality” but most of us don’t really believe it. Because if we really believed, we wouldn’t be blaming anyone outside of us for the problems we have. Rather than saying I have this problem because my boss isn’t promoting me, she doesn’t appreciate me or my kids don’t listen to me or my mother in law irritates me, here’s what would be saying instead - Here is how I have created this problem for myself. We often miss seeing our role in how we create the problem for ourselves. We see how others messed up very clearly. But we don’t see how we contributed to the mess. When we start seeing our role in the mess, there won’t be any mess You have results in your life – your health, weight, income, relationships, accomplishments, skills. Some of these results you like and some you don’t. You may have stories of why you have the results you don’t like. But the tool I share with you will help you see exactly how you are creating each of these results in your life and shortest most effective way to change it. Hint – it doesn’t require hard work or will power. This tool is the crux of life. It will teach you to think deliberately and choose your thoughts on purpose based on results you want to create. Most people don’t even know they can do it and very few know how to do it. If you learn to apply this tool, you realize there is literally no result in your life that you can’t create if you can adopt a mindset towards it. If you want to learn the most important life skill of choosing your thoughts and think deliberately, then find me on www.mindtalesconsulting,com.

One common challenge moms face today is dealing with kids. It gets frustrating when kids don’t listen to us and follow the rules we set. Our efforts to discipline them don’t work as we intend them to and we can’t figure what to do differently to get our kids to listen.If you face this challenge, you are going to love this episode. In this episode I share how your current approach of discipling your kids is having the opposite effect than you desire. How the way you are raising your kids is setting them up to become successful but unhappy professionals whose happiness depends on external accomplishments.We end up trying to control the kids but neither does this feel good to us, nor to the kids. I share some practical ways in which you can get kids to be disciplined without losing your peace of mind. When we control kids too much, we limit their possibilities because of our limited thinking. When we learn to segregate our emotions from what our kids do, we can teach them that their happiness doesn’t depend on external circumstances. They will learn to see life as a holistic experience for them to make their own choices and experience consequences of each of those experiences. Kids don’t learn what we tell them, they learn what we live every-day. For teaching them this, we need to do the same ourselves. When you will learn to create your own happiness in every situation, your kids will automatically learn it too. That’s how smart they are !If you want to learn this superpower, I can help you.

Most women managers don’t appreciate themselves enough. Seeing flaws in our work, seeing what’s not working, what needs to improve comes naturally to us but it’s easy for us to dismiss all the things that are working, all the things we are doing well, all the things that are worth appreciating in us. What we don’t realize is how it affects us negatively. Because we don’t appreciate ourselves, we not only curb the momentum that self-appreciation can bring, we also increase our dependency for appreciation. In this episode, I help you see how not appreciating yourself is a Lose – Lose situation for you, your loved ones and even the team members you manage. And how by appreciating yourself you can reverse it to make it a WIN – WIN for you and everyone else. I also talk about how you can build that muscle of self-appreciation which is needed to achieve your goals and feel amazing while doing that.So tune in now to listen.
