E2: How to Flip the Script on Your Mindset Blocks with Jaclyn Mellone [Mindset]

In this episode, we talk about how your mindset blocks--in the form of “inner villains”--may be sabotaging you. Jaclyn has a fun but insightful way of helping us identify our mindset blocks, by personifying them as movie villains:  Ursula from the Little Mermaid, Miranda from The Devil Wears Prada, and Regina George from Mean Girls.   Ursula takes away your voice by hijacking your thoughts.  Miranda makes you distrust your intuition.  Regina weighs you down with guilt and shame.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • How to know when “creativity” is a procrastination tactic or actually a really good idea?
  • Strategies to overcome mindset issues, including finding the courage to act.  
  • How to avoid the dreaded “woulda, shoulda, couldas” that result from inaction.
  • Using regret as a powerful motivator.
