For the rest of the summer, we’re doing a Summer Rewind, re-releasing some of our must-listen episodes as we ramp up to the launch of season two. See you in September friends!

It feels like change and adversity are the only constant in this life, and if this year has taught us anything, it’s that the more you focus on building a solid foundation within yourself, the more external chaos you can handle. 

Shifting our mindsets, perception and reactions is far from easy, but that’s the key to healthily recovering from turmoil and trauma. So, we called in mindset and success coach Leisse Wilcox to teach us everything we need to know about how to cultivate mental resilience and turn whatever life throws at you into a beautiful story. 

And Liesse is not just your average coach. She is a coveted mindset coach, podcast host, AND bestselling author, who is changing the global conversation on emotional health & wellness. She literally wrote the book on turning adversity into opportunities for growth, joy and beauty. 

Listen to our chat with Liesse to learn more about:

  • Our tools for bouncing back from adversity

  • Why your mindset matters

  • The meaning of emotional alchemy (turning the dark and heavy pieces of your life into something beautiful and light)

  • Leisse’s 10 steps to cultivating emotional alchemy

  • How to avoid toxic positivity and *actually* deal with your sh*t

  • Ways to process and feel your feelings

  • How to make a difficult life change with grit and grace

  • The importance of staying in the present moment and “zooming out”

  • Why gratitude is the key to mindset

We hope this episode helps you center yourself and find grace in these ~unprecedented~ times.
