How Eliminating One Word Can Shift Your Mindset (& Unlock Sustainable Success) | Carla Ondrasik (EP408)

How Eliminating One Word Can Shift Your Mindset (& Unlock Sustainable Success) | Carla Ondrasik (EP408)

If you’re struggling to meet your goals, the problem may not be effort—it’s that you’re still trying. In this episode, author and motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik joins me to share insights from her new book, Stop Trying!: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More. Drawing from her unconventional childhood, career in music publishing, and experience as a mother, Carla challenges the way we use the word “try” and makes the case for a powerful mindset shift: replacing trying with doing. We dive into the psychology of language, the difference between half-hearted attempts and decisive action, and why accountability and small, achievable steps are key to lasting change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of “trying” without results, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement to stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward with confidence.

EP209: Unclutter Your Soul with Trina McNeilly

For a lot of us listening, we’ve gotten really good at decluttering our homes - but what about our inner homes?

Join me today as I speak with author, Trina McNeilly about how we can observe, own and, ultimately, overcome what is overwhelming us. This episode is in no way a prescription that will solve all of your problems but I hope it’s a stepping point of encouragement as you begin to think through some of the clutter you may be carrying with you. ----Show Notes for EP209: Unclutter Your SoulEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
