Mindset plays an important role in healing and long-term health. It challenges the idea that medications or treatments alone fix the body, pointing instead to how the body is built to heal itself when properly supported. Using examples like heartburn and stress-related gut issues, it shows how working with the body's natural design often leads to better results than just managing symptoms.Getting back to basics, supporting the body to function as it was made to, can restore balance and improve overall health. By reducing stress and correcting underlying imbalances, the body's own systems often have the ability to heal without relying on long-term medication.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 - The Healing Mindset01:58 - Heartburn and Misdiagnosis03:40 - The Role of Stress in Digestion05:02 - Why Acid Matters06:20 - The Danger of Disrupting Physiology07:52 - Treating Root Causes: Chemistry + Mindset09:33 - Proof Through Practice10:47 - Drugs vs. True Healing12:21 - Returning to Biological Design13:14 - Moving Forward and Website Changes

In this week's Mindset Matters episode, “It's a Gift,” hosts Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey unpack why the present moment is the single most powerful asset in your personal-growth toolkit. If you've ever found yourself replaying past traumas or fast-forwarding into anxious worst-case scenarios, this conversation will recalibrate your focus to right now—where clarity, creativity, and momentum truly live. Patrick opens by challenging the myth that the future is where life happens, reminding listeners that the only place we can actually create that future is the present. Together, the couple explores how mental clutter—outdated belief systems, ego-driven self-talk, and digital distractions—steals attention span and fuels anxiety. Drawing on Patrick's early-morning journaling practice and Steffany's high-performance coaching with elite athletes, they share practical mind-shui tactics for clearing internal noise: intentional breathing, silent reflection, gratitude writing, and single-task listening. A touching story about the passing of Patrick's 97-year-old mother illustrates the profound peace that comes from being fully present for life's most meaningful moments. Key takeaways: • Clarity equals velocity — stripping away mental clutter accelerates decision-making and personal growth. • Attention is currency — checking your phone mid-conversation costs rapport and undermines self-awareness. • Ego wants to be right; consciousness wants to be real — question looping narratives that keep you stuck. • The fastest remedy for anxiety is asking, “What problem do I have right now?”—not tomorrow, not next week. • High-performance presence is trainable — micro-moments of stillness strengthen resilience, listening skills, and emotional connection. Tune in to discover how reclaiming your moment-to-moment awareness can transform relationships, business results, and overall well-being. Subscribe to Mindset Matters for weekly conversations on mindset, resilience, and authentic success—and let Patrick and Steffany guide you toward becoming the best version of yourself, one present breath at a time. Share this episode with friends craving mental clarity and focused growth.

In this weeks' episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey shine a light on the hidden reality that meaningful personal development can feel isolating. Patrick opens with the metaphor that life is a book and authentic growth means “turning the next page” even when no one else is ready to read along. That in-between space—where old identities no longer fit and new community hasn't formed—is what they call the “lonely chapter.” The pair unpack why identity shifts demand more than cosmetic change. Real transformation is an “operating-system upgrade” that can draw judgment from friends or family comfortable with the status quo. As Steffany notes, people often try to rearrange external circumstances so they don't have to change themselves. She shares her own season of surviving business pressures and the resulting mini-traumas that made her hesitate before turning the next page. Patrick counters with recent stories from coaching clients who felt instantly safe to reveal challenges—evidence that his deliberate focus on empathy and listening is already reshaping his presence. Throughout the episode, they emphasize that loneliness is a feature, not a bug, of growth. “Clarity equals velocity,” Patrick says, but velocity creates friction, and friction can feel like isolation. To help listeners move forward, they pose self-reflection prompts: Where do you feel tension between who you were and who you're becoming? Which familiar discomforts keep tugging you backward? Who genuinely supports your evolution—and who resists it? Their takeaway: you're not truly alone; you're simply ahead of your past patterns. Stay committed, seek like-minded allies, and leverage adversity to build resilience. When you trust the process, the next chapter won't just be turned—it will be written on your terms.

“Leadership is my jam.” In this episode, Michael Dargie connects with leadership coach, author, and former VP of Boston Pizza, Laura Darrell. From her new home in Mexico City, Laura shares the story of how she and her husband upended their successful corporate careers in Canada, packed up their lives—and their pets—and moved south to rediscover joy, purpose, and a better way of living. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. What began as a break from the grind turned into a lifestyle. Along the way, Laura wrote a book titled The Great Resignation: How a Culture of Coaching and Appreciation Can Help You Win the War for Talent. Originally self-published, it caught the attention of Morgan James Publishing in New York and is now set for official release across North America. Laura dives into her views on leadership, the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic on work culture, and the values that guided her and her husband's radical life shift. She offers insight into how Mexico has transformed their lives—from affordable, high-quality healthcare and vibrant community life to language immersion and daily trips to the tianguis (local market). She's not just adapting—she's thriving, and she's bringing a fresh, human-centred approach to leadership into the spotlight. Whether you're stuck in a career that doesn't align with your values or just fantasizing about a slower, richer life, Laura's story is a testament to the power of saying yes to what truly matters.

From self-doubt to spoken truth, this episode reveals how PMA isn't just a feel-good idea—it's a family standard. Join Greg, Jacquie, and the girls as they walk through how to confront limiting beliefs, redirect negative thinking, and build a culture of confidence at home. Featuring stories of entrepreneurship, varsity tryouts, and daily mental training.

Coach Scott talks about how mindset is everything, stop waiting for people to validate what you want to do, stop talking so much about is and start taking action and accept that failure and setbacks are just a part of the process.

In this compelling episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore a powerful concept: the Region Beta Paradox—a psychological phenomenon that explains why we often stay stuck in mediocre situations simply because they're “not that bad.” Whether it's an unfulfilling job, a stagnant relationship, or a comfort zone that's become a cage, the paradox reveals how moderate discomfort can be more dangerous than real adversity—because it fails to trigger change. Patrick shares personal stories, including his own “entrepreneurial accident” in the 1980s, which forced him out of complacency and into a path of purpose and growth. Steffany reflects on receiving the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee's Coach of the Year award and the grounding realization that even recognition doesn't remove life's everyday responsibilities. Together, they unpack how comfort can quietly stall ambition, and why doing the hard part first often leads to greater clarity, resilience, and results. The conversation dives deep into themes of self-responsibility, delayed gratification (with a nod to the famous “Marshmallow Test”), and the neuroscience of getting uncomfortable. They explain how growth requires challenge, not ease—and how embracing discomfort rewires the brain and strengthens personal integrity. Whether you're navigating life, career, or a mindset shift, this episode is a wake-up call to examine where you might be settling for “okay” instead of pushing for extraordinary. This is the essence of the MindShui Way—decluttering the mind, increasing self-awareness, and choosing a life of purpose over comfort.

In this powerful and relatable episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the true nature of confidence through the lens of a compelling parable about a young boy named Eli who builds a bridge—despite the doubts of others and his own inexperience. The story becomes the foundation for a meaningful discussion about self-trust, belief, and the myth that confidence is something we have to feel before we take action. They break down confidence into three key types: self-confidence, social confidence, and confidence in others. What emerges is a game-changing insight—confidence isn't something you wait for. It's something you build, plank by plank, failure by failure, just like Eli. Confidence, they argue, is rooted in self-trust, discipline, and commitment, not a fleeting emotional state. Whether you're struggling with imposter syndrome, fear of failure, or social anxiety, this conversation invites you to shift your perspective. Instead of seeing confidence as a prerequisite for action, see it as the result of consistent effort, learning, and resilience. From parenting insights to leadership lessons and personal growth strategies, this episode is filled with real-world wisdom—highlighting how borrowing belief from others, owning your past failures, and facing discomfort are all part of building authentic confidence.

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the internal prison so many of us live in: the fear of other people's opinions. They explore how this mindset quietly limits our decisions, confidence, and potential, and they challenge listeners to reflect on the emotional and mental cost of constantly seeking validation. At the heart of the discussion is the powerful quote: “You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.” Patrick expands on this, pointing out that the real prison isn't others' opinions—it's our belief in them. It's the internal story we tell ourselves about what others might think, and the choices we don't make as a result. Steffany opens up about her own journey—especially as a woman in male-dominated spaces like professional sports—and how letting go of being liked was critical to her growth. They discuss the courage it takes to be misunderstood, and how honoring your values often means standing alone, but standing strong. Patrick also shares the story of Shaka Senghor, who physically lived in prison for 19 years, but whose real transformation began when he broke free of the prison in his mind by rewriting his life's narrative. This episode is a powerful reminder that success and personal freedom begin with inner truth—not external approval. Key Topics Covered: Limiting beliefs and internal constraints Courage to be disliked and misunderstood Authenticity in the face of judgment The difference between external and internal freedom Creating a legacy from values, not validation

Welcome to Pivot Point of View, the podcast where we dive into the intersection of performance, wellness, and partnership—both in and out of the saddle. Brought to you by Pivot Point Equine & Rider Rehab, this week's episode is all about mindset.We're talking about how your mental game influences everything—from your health and recovery, to your relationship with your horse, to how you show up in competition and in everyday life. Whether you're navigating setbacks, chasing goals, or just trying to stay balanced, this episode will give you tools and perspective to shift your thinking and get back in alignment.

In this insightful and down-to-earth episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the concept of grounding—what it truly means, why it's essential, and how to consciously apply it in everyday situations. Whether you're stepping onto a stage, heading into a difficult conversation, or simply feeling emotionally overwhelmed, grounding can be the missing link to clarity, confidence, and calm. Patrick opens by reflecting on the electrical principle of grounding as a metaphor for emotional and energetic stability. Just like a home needs a ground wire to safely direct energy, we too need grounding to manage stress and stay centered under pressure. Together, they explore the physical and emotional benefits of grounding—such as improved sleep, reduced inflammation, and enhanced resilience—and even share personal anecdotes, including Steffany's unforgettable brush with lightning during a camping trip, where rubber boots may have saved her life. The duo also touch on self-worth, imposter syndrome, and how deeply-rooted limiting beliefs like “I'm not worthy” can hold us back. Steffany shares her recent experience winning a prestigious award from the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee and how old beliefs tried to convince her she didn't deserve it. The conversation becomes a candid exploration of how we react to judgment—whether from others or from ourselves—and how getting grounded can help us respond with intention instead. By the end of the episode, listeners are left with a compelling reminder: grounding is not just a tool for managing energy—it's a gateway to emotional freedom, personal alignment, and empowered action.

Dr. Jason R.C. Nurse, Associate Professor in Cybersecurity at the University of Kent and Director of Science and Research at CybSafe, joins ITSPmagazine at RSAC 2025 to discuss how people's attitudes shape their cybersecurity behaviors—at home, at work, and everywhere in between.Drawing from a global survey of over 7,000 individuals, Dr. Nurse presents data that reveals a fundamental challenge: while many individuals recognize the importance of cybersecurity, a significant number also find it intimidating and frustrating. Nearly 43% of participants shared that they feel overwhelmed by security measures, highlighting a persistent disconnect between the intent of security protocols and the lived experience of users.This disconnect manifests in inconsistent behaviors. At home, people may take extra precautions to protect their personal lives and families. At work, however, there's a tendency to outsource responsibility to the employer. This duality—heightened vigilance in personal spaces and relaxed caution in professional environments—creates vulnerabilities in a world where attackers don't care where the device or user happens to be.The conversation emphasizes the need to rethink how we approach cybersecurity education, awareness, and design. Dr. Nurse advocates for a “usable security” model—systems that protect users without demanding overly technical knowledge or creating friction. He uses the example of biometrics and seamless phone authentication to show how good design can improve both security and user satisfaction.To illustrate the connection between knowledge, attitude, and behavior, Dr. Nurse brings humor into the mix with a memorable analogy involving Kit Kats. Just as knowing something is delicious can shape our cravings and actions, understanding security in relatable terms can lead to more proactive behaviors.The episode wraps with a candid reflection on trust and novelty in the face of emerging AI systems—like self-driving cars. Dr. Nurse questions whether people truly trust new technologies or if they're simply seduced by convenience and innovation.This is a conversation about what it really takes to build a security-conscious society—one that understands people as much as it understands threats.Listen to the full episode to hear how mindset, usability, and cultural attitudes are reshaping the human side of cybersecurity.___________Guest: Dr. Jason R.C.

In episode 183 of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive into a powerful and eye-opening conversation about the unconscious beliefs that hold people back from living their most authentic, empowered lives. Drawing from Patrick's recent presentation with Alfonso Cuadra at a real estate and personal development event, they explore “The 11 Hidden Beliefs That Keep You Stuck.” These deep-seated narratives often operate silently in the background of our minds, shaping our behaviours, decisions, and self-worth without us even realizing it. Patrick begins by unpacking the first few limiting beliefs—“I'm not enough,” “I'm not worthy,” and “I'm not loved”—explaining how these subconscious programs can silently govern our actions. These beliefs often stem from seemingly innocent childhood experiences, parental comments, or emotional wounds, and evolve into inner constraints that manifest as overachievement, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or playing small. The episode also addresses beliefs such as “I don't matter,” “I'm not safe,” “I'm powerless,” and “There's something wrong with me,” demonstrating how each one erodes confidence and self-expression. Patrick and Steffany highlight how these inner scripts impact not just goal achievement, but emotional freedom, joy, and meaningful connection. A key takeaway? Awareness is the first step to transformation. Once these hidden beliefs are identified, they can be challenged, reprogrammed, and dissolved. Patrick encourages listeners to upgrade their “mental software” by paying attention to their emotional triggers, self-talk, and recurring patterns. The conversation is candid, relatable, and packed with real-life stories, humour, and deep insight. It's an invitation to uncover what's really been holding you back—and to finally feel free enough to move forward.

In this reflective and energizing episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany share insights from a transformative retreat in Sedona, Arizona, where they hit pause on the noise of life to reconnect, recharge, and reset. Immersed in nature and guided coaching, their time away became a powerful reminder of the importance of creating sacred space—for clarity, creativity, and connection. The episode explores how stepping outside our day-to-day grind allows us to re-evaluate where we're operating on autopilot. The couple discusses the deep work they did as individuals and as partners, highlighting how we all benefit from moments of grounding, intentional presence, and time to “replug.” From journaling and meditation to desert hikes and labyrinth walks, their experience reaffirmed a powerful truth: we must lead ourselves before we can lead others. One of the standout takeaways is Patrick's concept of Mind Shui—a term he coined to describe the intentional reorganization of mental space, much like Feng Shui aligns physical space. Mind Shui is about removing internal clutter—old beliefs, emotional baggage, unprocessed thoughts—so that energy can flow clearly across all seven areas of life. The clearer the mind, the faster the momentum. They also touch on economic uncertainties, generational divides, and the importance of keeping perspective during turbulent times. At the core of it all is this message: when the world feels chaotic, come back to what you can control—your mindset, your energy, your environment.

In this episode of Meg Talks, Megan Kerrigan and Annabelle discuss the pros and cons of the prelim and pre-open levels in Irish dancing.

The conversation also touches on the impact of competition results on dancer confidence and offers actionable steps for visualising progress. Personal stories and experiences are shared to highlight the emotional journey of dancers in these levels. In this conversation, Megan Kerrigan and Annabelle discuss the importance of mindset, tracking progress, and building confidence in dancers, particularly those transitioning from prelim to open competitions. They emphasise the need for supportive conversations, actionable steps for improvement, and the significance of celebrating small wins. The discussion also highlights the role of community in fostering a positive environment for dancers.

In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany Francey dive deep into the metaphor of “the banana” — the limiting beliefs, old identities, emotional baggage, and outdated stories we cling to that keep us stuck and prevent growth. Using the story of how hunters trap monkeys with bananas, Patrick explores how our grip on the past, much like the monkey's grip on the fruit, often becomes our own trap. Whether it's a past trauma, a title or role we once held, or a belief that we're not enough, these “bananas” shape our decisions and hold us back from living authentically and powerfully. Steffany shares powerful insights about identity, forgiveness, and the hidden resistance to moving forward. Her recent personal experience—winning a prestigious, unexpected award—illustrates how even recognition can bring up questions of worth and identity. Together, they explore how people often stay stuck in comfort or familiarity rather than face the discomfort of the unknown, and how clinging to the past can prevent us from fully stepping into our potential. This episode is rich with real-life examples, humor, and heartfelt dialogue as Patrick and Steffany challenge listeners to reflect on what they might be holding onto—and encourage them to let go with compassion and awareness. With key themes of personal growth, resilience, self-awareness, and emotional freedom, this episode inspires you to identify your own “banana,” loosen your grip, and create space for new possibilities.

In this episode of The extra-Ordinary Leader, I'm joined by the incredible Cathy O'Dowd – the first woman to climb Mount Everest from both the north and south sides. But this conversation isn't just about physical mountains; it's about the emotional and professional peaks we all face.Cathy's story is one of grit, humility and mindset, and I couldn't have been more inspired by the way she talks about doing extra-Ordinary things by simply taking the next right step. Whether it's writing a book, leading a business, or learning to kitesurf at 42 (yes, I really did that), this conversation is a reminder that success is not about fairy dust – it's about steady, consistent, powerful choices.We spoke about what happens when life feels like a cul-de-sac, when perfectionism gets in the way of progress, and how sometimes saying yes to uncomfortable opportunities is the very thing that takes you to the next level. Cathy shares how she navigated being parachuted onto the first South African Everest team – as the only woman – and how she's learned to let go of the “token” label and find confidence through action.We also dove into the power of physical challenge – why sports like climbing or kitesurfing can be an antidote to rumination, stress, and even imposter syndrome. Cathy had so much wisdom to share about how we lead ourselves and others, how we perform under pressure, and why empathy isn't a gift – it's a tool.This one will stick with me for a long time, and I hope it stays with you too.Inside this episode:What extra-Ordinary leadership really meansWhy we need to let go of perfectionismHow to reframe tokenism and self-doubtThe difference between stress responses – and how to manage themWhy physical adventure can transform your mindsetHow to use empathy as a tool – especially in high-stakes leadershipThe 'STOP' technique Cathy uses in moments of pressureThe surprising link between coffee, presence, and performanceMentions & Links:Learn more about Cathy: https://www.cathyodowd.comBook Cathy to speak: https://www.cathyodowd.com/keynote-speaking/My book The extra-Ordinary Leader: https://www.dollywaddell.com/store/p/the-extra-ordinary-leader

Mindset Matters Part 2: Dan Porterfield - Growth in Action: Markera Jones and the Transformative Power of Educational Opportunity   This Week on The Heart of Giving Podcast - in Part 2: We continue our conversation with Dan Porterfield and Robert Diggs, then hear directly from Markera Jones, whose remarkable journey from a segregated school environment to academic excellence at Franklin & Marshall College demonstrates how institutional commitment to talent can change lives.   Four powerful insights:   "Each educational environment needs to tend to what kind of student with what kind of values might end up there. Our research found that there was a triangle of values students would be attracted to - they wouldn't be a number but a person, they valued being in community, and they wanted academic seriousness." - Dan Porterfield   "I went on a visit with my Upward Bound counselor... When we went on the visit, I remember just feeling a sense of welcome on the campus. It seemed like spaces that were well funded and well resourced for me to really learn things in a way that I didn't get in high school." - Markera Jones   "F&M's financial aid package was the best one that I got. That grant, which came from donors who want to fund talent, really helped me to see these people believe in me, they value me, they want to invest in me in that kind of way." - Markera   "At F&M, I got to have my first research experience where not only did I work in a psychology lab, it felt very special because this is the stuff that I was seeing on TV. It felt like I was doing this really important work in research, giving back to creating knowledge." - Markera on how F&M prepared her for her career path   Check out part 1 published last week, where we began our conversation with Dan Porterfield and Robert Diggs about the transformative power of growth mindset in higher education. Dan shared how Franklin & Marshall redefined talent identification beyond traditional metrics to focus on curiosity, resilience, and saying yes to opportunity.    Robert Diggs revealed how the "third spaces" outside the classroom shaped his development as a student and leader. They discussed how this approach to education not only benefits individual students but creates a vibrant ecosystem where everyone can thrive.   New episodes every Tuesday on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms.

You'll learn: ✅ How to shift from doubt and fear to confidence and trust in God ✅ Why your mindset affects your obedience to God's calling ✅ The role of self-talk in shaping your faith and boldness ✅ Practical steps to renew your mind and take action If you've been waiting for a sign to start walking in your calling, this is it! Tune in and discover how to develop a Kingdom-minded growth mindset that aligns with God's plan for your life.

This Week on The Heart of Giving - Part 1: Aspen Institute President and Former Franklin & Marshall College President Dan Porterfield joins Art Taylor to discuss his book "Mindset Matters," exploring how colleges can nurture talent and growth mindsets in students from all backgrounds. Joined by F&M alum Robert Diggs, they dive into the transformative power of higher education. Three illuminating moments: "I view the best form of education as the one that helps the one and the many, that unlocks talent and sees talent in every corner and community. And that by investing in young people, whether financial aid or just as important in their learning and their formation, we make a better world." - Dan Porterfield "We were willing to shake it up a bit and try out some even more particular qualities of talent - curiosity, resilience, saying yes to opportunity, and having a vision of the value of education. These qualities are equally represented across America." - Dan on redefining talent identification "Not that the actual education part wasn't important, but it was the learning that happened around the education piece... It was really the third space or fifth space, being asked to step into co-leading the development of the college house ethos. All of that tracks back to how F&M goes about enriching the mind of young people." - Robert Diggs Don't miss next week's conclusion where we meet Markera Jones, whose journey from Coatesville, Pennsylvania to clinical psychologist exemplifies the power of opportunity and growth mindset in action. Last week, Ben Erwin of Charity Buzz shared how his organization has created a marketplace for unique experiences that benefits nonprofits of all sizes. By connecting celebrities, business leaders, and exclusive opportunities with affluent donors, they've generated over half a billion dollars for charitable causes. If you missed it, it's a fascinating look at innovative fundraising approaches that expand "the giving pie."
