What’s a gratitude mindset?  It is a state of mind that allows you to focus on being thankful for what you have instead of dwelling on what’s missing.  It’s about focusing on the many things that are going right instead of what is going wrong.

In this episode, you’ll learn some strategies for building a gratitude mindset that can help you to navigate difficult situations and take control of  negative thinking patterns so that you can reach your goals more quickly, lower your stress levels, and improve your overall well-being.  Please take a listen.

Here are some of those recommendations:

1. Focus on what you can be grateful for today.
2. Remember the grass is NOT always greener on the other side.

For many women, loving  themselves first does not come naturally.  In fact, many women have to learn to love themselves because they have been socialized to believe that putting their own needs first is a selfish act.  As a result, many women put everyone’s needs before they own, always talking about their dreams and desires in the future saying thighs like, “When the kids get older:” “When I get that promotion that I‘ve been working so hard for.”  “When I  have the time.”  “That’s when I will travel, or follow my passion, or start that nonprofit organization.”   The irony is that oftentimes, a life-altering medical diagnosis, like cancer, is often the catalyst that can throw them headlong into living the lives they had been planning for, as they face their own mortality. 

In this episode Iselyn Hamilton Austin shares how her breast cancer diagnosis taught her to make herself not just “a” priority, but “the” priority!   Iselyn describes her cancer diagnosis as “...like joining a sorority you never asked to be in.”  You’ll want to hear how breast cancer became the catalyst for her work not only in the nonprofit space, but her work with other women who received similar diagnoses.  According to Iselyn, she became the go-to person for these women, teaching them how to not just “survive” with cancer, but to “thrive”.  Take a listen to this heart-warming story of not just someone who survived breast cancer but who is thriving, and exploring other avenues of creative expression.  In fact, Iselyn is now the author of two children’s books.
