In this episode of Roots of the Rise, we explore the concept of a growth mindset—what it is, why it matters, and how shifting from outcome-based thinking to effort-based learning can change your life. You’ll hear insights from Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Carol Dweck, plus real-life examples of how our mindset shapes identity, risk-taking, and resilience. Whether you're navigating failure, perfectionism, or just want to grow with more ease, this episode offers practical and compassionate tools to support your journey.

• Growth mindset is anchored in the belief that our abilities are malleable due to neuroplasticity
• How we receive feedback shapes our self-perception and approach to challenges
• Performance-based feedback ("you're smart") links identity to results, creating fear of failure
• Effort-based feedback focuses on what we do, not who we are, encouraging risk-taking
• Failure almost always comes before success—it's the first attempt in learning
• Our mindsets typically operate on autopilot but significantly impact our experiences
• Journal prompts can help uncover your own beliefs about abilities and potential
• Summer often requires adjusting expectations and embracing realistic planning

Taking July off to align with priorities and will return in August with quality content created from a place of joy rather than stress.
