Are you playing to win, or just playing not to lose?
There's a mindset that is quietly shaping your life…
Watching the Olympics this year got us thinking — not just about athletic excellence, but about the mindset behind it. Do you want to win because you've pushed yourself to your absolute best? Or do you want to win simply because everyone else fell short
In this episode, Stephanie and Maren dive deep into the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset — and how this one distinction is quietly shaping your relationships, your business, your leadership, and your life
Spoiler: it's not an all-or-nothing thing. We all have both. The real question is — where is each one showing up for you?
🎧 What You'll Take Away
- Why the process matters more than the outcome — and what Carol Dweck's groundbreaking research with children reveals about how we're wired for (or against) growth
- The hidden cost of a disposable mindset — in business, in relationships, and in how we lead others
- How to find your exemplars — and why surrounding yourself with people who call you up is the secret to true excellence
- The snowboard principle — what relaxing your shoulders has to do with resilience in business and life
- Why what frustrates you about the world might be your unique fingerprint — and the invitation to up-level that very field
“Be kind with the self you're becoming — because you haven't become that person yet. You're in the making.” — Stephanie
