What does it take to build a global design firm from scratch and then walk away from it at the top of your game? Mia Feasey did exactly that. She launched her international design business at just 24 years old, scaled it across borders, and made the bold decision to exit at 45, not because she had to, but because she chose to. In this episode, Christina's special guest Mia gets refreshingly real about what it actually took: the risks she took before she felt ready, the moments she almost played it safe, and why authenticity became her most powerful business strategy. If you've ever wondered what's waiting for you on the other side of a big leap, or if you're quietly dreaming of your own next chapter, this conversation will light a fire under you.

In this solo kickoff to 2026, Christina reflects on the creative resistance she's been feeling and how even positive routines, like her nearly six-year streak of daily walks, can start to create stagnation. A podcast reminded her that growth often requires breaking our own patterns. That insight collided with a pop-culture moment (yes, the Brooklyn Beckham drama) to spark a bigger conversation about how social media pressures us to perform, exaggerate, and air conflict publicly. Her takeaway: real alignment comes from personal responsibility, knowing what you stand for, and not feeling obligated to fight every battle for the sake of optics. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life.

Jamison Price returns to discuss his new guide on self-mastery, "On Dragons, Lions, & Wolves."He shares three metaphors that define the path from inner transformation to outer impact: facing your dragons (the shame, addiction, and fear within), chasing your lions (the external threats that demand courage), and taming your wolves (integrating strength and wisdom to belong).This conversation explores why self-actualization isn't the end goal—it's shared-actualization, becoming someone dangerous to darkness and dependable in the light.

In this powerful episode, Christina Lecuyer cracks open her personal playbook—hundreds of pages of lessons, mindset shifts, and real-world strategies that have shaped her success.

In this episode of 5 min Fridays with coach Myrna, I delve into the profound impact of mindset transformation on personal growth and ambition. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Jamal Bryant's pajama mindset theory, she believes that embracing a stagnant mindset hinders individuals from reaching their full potential. Myrna passionately argues that breaking free from comfort and convenience is essential for achieving excellence and living a life of purpose, discipline, and self-respect. Her message is a compelling call to action, urging individuals to adopt a growth-oriented mindset, embrace discomfort, and honor the legacy of those who valued intentional living.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:1. **Evolve from Complacency to Growth**: Myrna stressed the importance of shifting from a complacent mindset to one that is growth oriented. This shift involves prioritizing self-awareness, problem-solving abilities, and a proactive perspective towards personal development.2. **Consciousness Over Comfort**: The concept of 'Consciousness Over Comfort' was introduced as a means to prioritize self-respect, discipline, and direction. By choosing discomfort over immediate comfort, individuals can propel themselves towards significant growth and transformation.3. **Stretch Yourself for Growth**: Myrna likened personal growth to stretching oneself like a rubber band. She emphasized that true growth only occurs when individuals push beyond their boundaries and actively seek opportunities to evolve and improve.A poignant quote from the episode that resonates with the theme of mindset transformation is, "Growth doesn't happen in your pajamas. It happens when you get dressed up for the next level of your life. You can't step into destiny dressed for dormancy." This quote encapsulates the essence of the episode, highlighting the need to break free from comfort zones and strive for personal excellence.By embracing discomfort, choosing consciousness over comfort, and actively seeking growth opportunities, individuals can embark on a transformative journey towards realizing their true potential. As Myrna aptly puts it, personal growth requires a willingness to step out of comfort zones and embrace the challenges that come with striving for excellence.To advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/
