Growth Mindset gets me every time!

I love the growth mindset discussed on the Allison Loves Math Podcast as I too work daily supporting others in developing their growth mindset. Math is something that so many people have a fixed mindset on and the way Alliosn discusses growth mindset is so needed. Thanks for this!!
