In this episode, I talk about what it means to have a growth vs. a fixed mindset. The knowledge of these two mindsets is not enough, however. I challenge you to reflect on your own life, and the scenarios in which your fixed mindsets pops up. We all have those moments. It is crucial to become aware of them if we want to change them. 

You will learn three things in this episode: 

1. What it means to have a growth mindset

2. Four life scenarios to reflect and make sure you're bringing a growth mindset (Feedback, Identity, Proof, Outcomes)

3. A process for changing a fixed mindset to a growth mindset
