In this episode, we chat about Growth Mindset, what it is and how we can apply it both in our lives and in our parenting. I love the way Em teaches about growth mindset because she also LIVES IT! She shares her remarkable story of how she went from having “musician” as a pipe dream to founding her own record label (Wye in the Sky) and becoming an active player in the music scene in Australia. During our conversation she shares practical tools about how we can invite adopting a growth mindset into our lives and my favourite quote from the episode is “It is impossible to know what we can achieve through regular daily practice and effort if we never try”. Em makes me feel like anything, with the right effort, is truly possible.

Emily Toner is a clinical psychologist and musician. She is also the founder of an online meditation platform offering daily live practices called Creating a Safe World within - learn more about her work here: https://emilytoner.com/

Dr Carrie Hayward is a clinical psychologist , ACT therapist and author and is passionate about providing practical tools to support us to show up and connect more authentically with ourselves, other and our lives. In this episode, she explains how we can develop psychological flexibility - meaning we can choose how we relate to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours by connecting to our core values. When we do this we can live a richer and more purposeful life as we are living anchored by a solid sense of self.

Her first book “The Woman Who Lost the Sun” is a short but beautiful parable exploring how we can weather all the storms in our life when we connect to something that is deeply within us - how we want to live. She shows very clearly that by aligning our behaviours with our core values, we can once again find our smile. Her book can be purchased at her website https://www.carriehayward.com/ , on the online stores or directly via her publisher, Ocean Reeve Publishing.
