Were we wrong about mindset? (PLUS, the proposal story!)

Were we wrong about mindset? (PLUS, the proposal story!)

We’re engaged! But before we share that story, we talk about pronoia (the opposite of paranoia), choosing to believe the universe is working in your favor. And how that simple shift changes what you notice, how you feel, and how you perform.

We also talk about a gratitude practice that’s not a reaction (“grateful for”), but surprisingly far more effective.

Plus, a wiener dog joins the show mid-episode!

So many kind strangers have randomly taken our photo and shared them with us over the past ten years. See them all here!
