33. Broke Thoughts, Rich Results: Rewriting Your Money Story with Jillian Minter
49 Plays25 days ago
In this episode of Gritty is the New Pretty, Krystle sits down with business and money coach Jillian Minter to unpack why “being good with numbers” isn’t the same thing as having a healthy relationship with money. Jillian shares her journey from owning (and selling) a struggling brick-and-mortar studio through the chaos of COVID, burnout, and tough financial decisions to becoming a coach who helps women scale to high six and seven figures by shifting the thoughts that quietly run their financial life.
Together, they break down common money stories like “I’m broke,” “I can’t afford it,” and “rich people are greedy,” and show how those beliefs shape pricing, investing, visibility, hiring, and risk-taking. The episode lands on a clear takeaway: you don’t need a new personality to make more money—you need new thoughts, better language, and the courage to invest in growth. Join us as we discuss:
- Money mindset vs. money mechanics: Knowing the numbers isn’t enough
- Language that changes behavior (and outcomes): Reframing shifts you from powerless to intentional
- Scaling requires identity-level growth: The big 3 blocks Jillian sees with her clients

On this episode of Gritty is the New Pretty, we have Julian Minter, business and money coach. Welcome, Julian. Hi, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. Thank you for joining us. I'm excited to hear about you, your story and what you do as a money coach. So why don't you start off with telling us about you?
Julian's Work and Personal Money Journey
00:01:36
Speaker
Yeah. So I am a business and money coach. I work with female entrepreneurs who are looking to scale their business and make more money. Usually my clients have been in business for a little bit of time and they're stuck. They're wanting to scale. They're wanting to grow their business. They're wanting to get to the high multiple six figures to seven figures.
00:01:55
Speaker
And there's something that's stopping them, something that's blocking them. them. So I work with the energy of money, with manifestation, money mindset, your relationship with money, thoughts about money, to transform your relationship with money so that you can attract and earn more money with ease in your business.
00:02:14
Speaker
And how did you get to the space where your job is now so focused around women and money? Yeah. Well, I was a brick and mortar business owner. And so I'm a serial entrepreneur. I love entrepreneurship.
00:02:29
Speaker
And also I always really struggled with money, with finances. Like even when my business was doing well, I was struggling and it was through coaching and healing my own money mindset and my own journey that really helped me make more money, become successful. And when I learned that my relationship with money was dictating the money that I attracted, the money I kept, um it just changed the the game for me. So when I sold my last business, I knew i wanted to work online. I wanted to be done with brick and mortar, have a little bit more freedom and set up a business that really aligned with the life that I wanted because I didn't do that intentionally with my last business and throughout my intentions around my business and what I had
00:03:15
Speaker
you know, discovered through my own work. I just fell in love with coaching. I happened to be good at it and, and fell into this niche and I love it. So you mentioned that you were bad with money. So now you're a money coach.
00:03:31
Speaker
Tell us about your journey with money.
Transforming Money Mindset
00:03:35
Speaker
mean, you don't have to get into any like first super personal details, but I think it's Interesting because in my mind and my mental model, right, I always think people that are good with money were always good with money. You know what I mean? Like they're just born that way and they're so smart or they went to business school or x Y, Z, their parents, you know, taught them how to invest or whatever. So I'm just curious about like that transition for you you um from recognizing a weakness and then building it to a strength.
00:04:06
Speaker
Yeah. Well, what's so interesting, Crystal, is I was bad with money in the sense of I had a bad relationship with money. i thought that I had to work really hard to make a lot of money. It was my it was my relationship and my thoughts about money. I wasn't necessarily bad at the numbers. like I always knew the numbers. I'm really good at like knowing where every dollar is coming into my business. I know how many where my sales are at. and like I've always been good with that stuff. and Also, being good at that didn't help me. I was still struggling with money. I still wasn't making enough money. It's...
00:04:44
Speaker
it's It was that. It was this combination of being like, quote unquote, smart and good with numbers and also still not having the funds to show for it. So because of that, um and the work that really changed me is the mindset work.
00:05:02
Speaker
And so that's why now I teach it because learning that started to change my outer world after I changed my inner world. And I was like, wow, this this like really works. So learning that is what changed my bank account. And now that's what I help my clients with.
00:05:20
Speaker
Thank you for clarifying that because that is an interesting dynamic because there is the difference between the numbers and knowing the numbers and the money mindset. And can you tell us more about the money mindset that you had then that shifted? Yeah, it was that...
00:05:41
Speaker
The thoughts that I thought about money weren't serving me and they weren't helpful to the life I was trying to create, which is really like how you manifest. You decide what you want on purpose and you feel the feelings that you want to feel and then you create the outer world. But my inner world was broke. So I was telling myself things like I was broke. I can't afford that. I identified with other broke people.
00:06:08
Speaker
entrepreneurs with other broke people, I made jokes about it. um it was like a running joke that my business like wasn't doing well, would it ever make it because when I bought my business, it was really struggling. And I was able to turn it around. But there was a time where I didn't know if I would. So like,
00:06:25
Speaker
it It was kind of like a joke, like sarcastic, like, oh, will it even make it? And I was in um the Pilates and yoga industry. And there's so many instructors in that industry who really struggle with money and live paycheck to paycheck. And I identified with them so much.
00:06:42
Speaker
And that's what was keeping me broke. Because once I decided that I didn't have to struggle for every dollar, work X amount, work all the time, that my industry wasn't profitable, those thoughts are really what changed my reality.
00:06:58
Speaker
So how did they change the reality? So because I'm thinking, okay, if I'm thinking, I'm not broke anymore. I'm not magically rich tomorrow. What like specific actions did that mindset trigger?
00:07:12
Speaker
It was telling myself new thoughts, new thoughts that are helpful. Because whatever you're telling yourself is going to be true. And that's not like some woo-woo stuff. That's actual science. Like our brain wants to prove ourself right.
00:07:29
Speaker
So if you're saying i am broke, you're going to continue to be broke and find evidence that that is true. Right, right. So what is the bridge thought? Because thinking, well, I'm rich or I'm a millionaire doesn't feel right.
00:07:42
Speaker
it doesn't feel It doesn't feel true in our body. So that doesn't help us correct our mindset. But I'm okay with money. Like money takes care of me. There can be some neutral thoughts in there that help get us to the other side of the extreme that we want to be feeling. So it it started with stopping telling myself the stories that were not serving me. And then it led to, and then I started to see the results. I started to have more money. i started to, you know, attract more money. i
00:08:16
Speaker
have a little bit more confidence to raise my prices. When I raised my prices, I didn't lose any of my clients. You know, that you start to find this evidence that it's okay. And then from the thoughts, you can really change your behaviors. And then ah thoughts and the behaviors totally change your reality.
00:08:35
Speaker
right? It just, it takes a little bit of time, but it does start to work. Yeah. I could see an example of that as in, okay, if you have some money coming into your business, you're not, you're not broke, but you're telling yourself you're broke.
00:08:51
Speaker
There might be certain opportunities that you might not be putting some money in. Like maybe it's sponsoring something that's going to get you high visibility into, um a key audience or customer client base, like that might be an opportunity that you pass up on because you're telling yourself you're not okay with money when maybe you are, maybe you're not where you want to be, or maybe you're not like in this overabundant state, but being more,
00:09:18
Speaker
kind to and realistic to yourself will allow you to make some decisions and and take what you might perceive as a risk in that mindset, that kind of limiting mindset, um,
00:09:34
Speaker
To take those opportunities and then the money would come in, right?
Impact of Coaching on Growth
00:09:38
Speaker
And like you said, the energy comes in. You're putting your brand out there. You're putting yourself out there. Maybe you're going on a business retreat or maybe you're partnering with um another business on something and you're putting some time and effort into it when before you might have had those limiting thoughts that were like,
00:09:54
Speaker
you know, I don't have the money to take this risk or I don't have the time or the capacity because I need to be doing this thing that I think is the only way that I make money because of the numbers.
00:10:05
Speaker
That's kind of in my mind how I see some like tangible examples. Absolutely. It's the thing like saying I don't have the money. Like, is that true? Yeah. if you know If something terrible happened in your life where you needed to come up but with money, you would figure it out. So when you say, I don't have the money, that may feel true to you, but it's not true. You could find the money. Whereas saying, i choose not to invest in that, that feels so different. Right. if we look at that language, cause that was one of my blocks was investing. Like I didn't invest in marketing. I didn't invest in myself. I didn't invest in coaching at the beginning. Like I found this amazing money coach I want to work with. And I was like, she's too expensive, but that's a thought you can choose to have. You can choose to think that something is expensive or not, because that's subjective. It's different to everyone. Right. And so those little tiny thoughts are,
00:11:01
Speaker
dictate our entire life, our that our all of our actions, and therefore how much money you end up having in our relationship with money.
00:11:13
Speaker
And did you end up going to your money coach? Did you end up investing? see yeah Yeah. I love that. am Yeah. and And what I did is I consumed all her free content for a while until I finally felt like, ooh, this is still a lot of money, but I'm going to go for it. And then I made back my investment so fast, like,
00:11:34
Speaker
it It was a such a no brainer. Like then I just invested even more with her because I started making, I like doubled my salary within a few months of hiring her You know, I, it just, I had started the, the ripple effect of like, oh, this is working and going all in really helped me just build that momentum. And, and yeah, it was amazing.
00:11:56
Speaker
That's crazy. i mean, it's not crazy, but like, that's exciting. yeah Because i think coaching is something that is semi trending right now. You know, there's coaches for everything. There's divorce coaches out there. But it's such an important thing.
00:12:15
Speaker
resource for you. And that's one of the reasons why I coach and coach women in their professional development or their businesses and to help them with some of those mindsets. I mean, I don't necessarily just focus on money, but I saw myself going through that journey too of, i don't think I'm qualified. No one's going to like put that faith in me How am I going to make this change or this impact? No one's going to trust me. you know, who's ever going to follow me if I apply for a leadership role? Like having those thought process and taking some of those risks to start a business or a nonprofit that.
00:12:53
Speaker
coaching is so valuable to taking control over your life because we get so stuck in these limiting mindsets and also in just the day-to-day operations of like going to work, coming home from work. If you've got kids, like your work world is kind of surrounded by your kids or if you're married, whatever the other things are in your orbit, you get sucked into those. And when you sit with your coach,
00:13:22
Speaker
that's when you have the opportunity to really reimagine what your business looks like, what your life looks like. And you start putting pen to paper and your coaches is there to give you some insight and to like be your biggest cheerleader, really somebody that is just focused on what you want to work towards. And You know, they have experience that they can share. and I've had a coach for many years and I've shared this multiple times on the podcast, but she changed my life. You know, hmm.
00:13:57
Speaker
taught me how to think through bureaucracy and how to navigate some of those things that were really difficult and really, um, challenging environments for somebody like me. And, um, also just like managing my own emotions about things in professional environments that I was very passionate about. And I just, I really found so much value in our coaching and she did a lot of energy type work as well. And, yeah,
00:14:25
Speaker
I can't say enough about getting a coach. And if you're feeling like anybody listening is feeling like there's a part in their life, whether it's money or their business or just their career, like definitely find a coach. Or if you can't afford a coach, like Julian said, absorb the free content. And then when you're ready to make the jump, you can invest. But there's so many people out there that somebody is going to resonate and align with you. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
Cultural Perceptions of Wealth
00:14:54
Speaker
i love So what are some money stories besides kind of being broke um that people might tell themselves versus the truth? um that being rich or having money makes you selfish or greedy or bad. I think so often in our culture, um we look down upon wealthy people.
00:15:17
Speaker
And, you know, that's just not true. Money just amplifies who you are. You're a good person or a bad person. And money has nothing to do with that, right? Money is a tool and a resource. So...
00:15:28
Speaker
I would ah you know argue that if you're a good person, you can do more with money, not with right money, right? I love that you said that because I do feel like everyone talks about how they hate rich people. And I'm just like, my ass wants to be rich. Like, I don't know what you're talking about. like I would love to be rich. I would love to be able to make sure that my family has generational wealth and they're taken care of and that we can live together. really amazing life. But not only that, we can give back in so many ways that, you know, are meaningful and meaningful to me. And so I think that for, you know, I think I'm a good person. I'm not perfect, but I think I'm a good person. And I'd like to think if I was a rich person that I would be doing really great things with my money and on my own life journey. And so I I don't know. i feel like there's that song that's like money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a boat.
00:16:31
Speaker
and Everybody loves to go on boats. So anyways, that's just, yeah I mean, no judgment here. i think if, if we're all talking about business, you know, i have so many entrepreneurs on the show and you know, that's, you gotta, you're making money to live the life you want to live. And if you make A lot of money being successful and you're doing good and you're a good person, that more power to you. That's how I feel about it.
00:16:58
Speaker
Yeah. And I find so often that, especially entrepreneurs, they don't get into business to not make money. They want to be rich. But at the same time, if you think rich people are bad, you're going to stop yourself subconsciously from becoming rich because then you think you're going to be bad, right? So this is where we can choose our thoughts intentionally to serve us because that's going to that's going to block you from making money if you're saying things like, I want to be rich and rich people are bad, right?
Julian's Business Lessons and Advice
00:17:27
Speaker
Mm hmm. Nice. Yeah. So what are some things that you've learned about buying a business and turning it around? And what kind of decisions did you have to make in that process?
00:17:41
Speaker
Oh my gosh, that was a whirlwind. So yeah, so my break and mortar studio that I purchased was not doing well. um It was already in business, so I bought it and then I sold it and I sold it twice. I sold it to my business partner, half of it, and then I sold the whole thing. So I feel like I had so many experiences in that. you know I owned it during COVID. i So I went through so many highs and lows and But it taught me so much. And I think that's, I wouldn't be the coach today if it wasn't for that, right? And I learned a lot of the things the hard way, like we all do, right? Like selling my business. When I sold it the first time, i um half of it to my business partner, I was desperate. I just wanted to get out. Like I was willing to take any price. And the second time when I was really intentional and was like, no, I'm not financing this. I'm getting paid up front. This is the amount of money I want. Like it happens so easily.
00:18:39
Speaker
So I would say, i mean, i could go on for on and on about all the things I learned as a business owner, but that's how the thoughts around money really, and just my thoughts in general, um shaped my experience in business, right? Because even at the beginning when the business was really struggling, I kept telling myself it was struggling. Was it going to make it?
00:19:01
Speaker
um And those things impacted the decisions I was making, it impacted my energy, and it impacted, you know, my space and my business and therefore like my revenue.
00:19:14
Speaker
If you could go back, is there anything that you would change in that process? Oh my everything. Everything. I would say there's that like, well, it wouldn't be where I am now without it. And also I would have changed so much. I would have gotten another loan and I would have invested a lot sooner. So I bought the business with a loan and then I needed another loan pretty soon in to make payroll because it was losing so much more money.
00:19:38
Speaker
then we thought it was losing. But I would have invested even more so that I could, i would pay myself more. I didn't take a salary for years because I told myself there wasn't money, but that led me to burning out. It led me to being depleted. it wasn't what was best for me. i would have invested in marketing sooner. i would have, I redid all the equipment in my studio. Right. And like, that was like, a six figure purchase. I saved all the cash for that. So I didn't have to go into debt. I wouldn't do that.
00:20:09
Speaker
I would have, I would have leveraged debt to make me more money because it was such a good decision and turn the business around. Um, I wouldn't have sold it desperately. Like I, I don't know if I would have sold it period. Like Pilates is booming now. I probably would have set it up where I didn't have to be as involved, um, which would be very hard because I'm very type a and kind of a control freak, but like,
00:20:32
Speaker
Yeah, theres there's so many things that I, you know, yeah we wish we always like know so much more on the other side, but I never would have known those things if I hadn't learned them. And so many of them that I learned the hard way. And it just that's how we learn.
00:20:47
Speaker
And that experience is what triggered you to think about getting a money coach, right? And then that yeah experience with the money coach kind of triggered you into doing your coaching that you're doing now.
00:21:00
Speaker
Yes, exactly. And so like, I'm so grateful because if I hadn't had all of that, I wouldn't be where I am now. And i feel so aligned, like I'm doing the work that I was born to do. And I love it. And I love my clients.
00:21:13
Speaker
And so had I not had that experience, I wouldn't be here. Right. So yeah.
Common Fears in Entrepreneurship
00:21:18
Speaker
What are some common themes that you notice with your clients? Um, they're scared to give up control and just like I was, especially when you're looking to scale, you can get pretty far as a solopreneur having a part-time help admin help. But usually those first few hires are scary for people and it's either the money they're scared to commit to the payroll or they're scared to give up control because no one's going to do it as well as them, or that's what they're telling themselves.
00:21:49
Speaker
Um, the visibility piece, right? So also with entrepreneurs, like the bigger you get, the more visible you are, the more visible you are, the more susceptible to judgment and people's opinions. And that, that can be really challenging. So I find that comes up a lot as well.
00:22:06
Speaker
Right, like they're sort of scared to get into the public eye more and take some of these risks in their business. Yeah, that's interesting, but I can see that. I mean, I've had a discussion with a gal that just started a podcast and i was telling her about Gritty is a New Pretty and she's like, oh, you started doing video now. And it was that, like that for me was a big jump because i felt like doing podcasts with just audio, like I was still somewhat...
00:22:37
Speaker
Safe. Safe in a way, hidden in a way. Like, I don't know how to explain it, but I'm like, oh my gosh, putting it on YouTube and putting it out there felt so vulnerable to me. And then at some point I was just like, I need to start putting the episodes on YouTube because that is where people are consuming a lot of content. And i am putting them on there very slowly, but um it was a big risk. So I can understand that mindset a little bit because essentially anyone in the world can see you. It's like being on TV. um Like we put ourselves on TV. It's, this is just a crazy world. I mean, I've get listeners from all over the world that are listening to this podcast and I don't even know how they heard about it, how they found it. But I'm like, now people all over the world can see what I look like and like my expressions and my, so yeah, I can see that for sure.
00:23:31
Speaker
yeah Especially in the world today. Yeah. And vulnerability is hard, right? Like it's it's easier to stay safe, to stay comfortable and to not push your edges and to like push yourself as an entrepreneur and to put yourself out there in any capacity, whether you're putting yourself out there in business, in a relationship, whatever it is.
00:23:53
Speaker
And also if you're not putting yourself out there, you're also holding yourself back. So like, what is the price of staying safe? And that's what we have to kind of decide, is it worth it? And most of the time, especially ambitious entrepreneurs, right? They decide it's not worth it, but it doesn't mean it's easy for them and they don't have to work through that.
00:24:13
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's a good point too, is that it's not always easy to take the risks. Cause I think sometimes we could be in this mindset of they're 100% confident, they know what they're doing. You know, the assumptions that we make about other people that we see from the outside only, and we think that they just wake up in the morning and everything's excellent, and they just crush every task they have and have no like downfalls. And then they're just breaking in the dough. Like we kind of have these mental models of people that are successful that we want to like strive towards. And
00:24:53
Speaker
I think that's not the reality, right? I think they struggle. And like another thing is, is that a lot of the most um successful entrepreneurs also have coaches.
00:25:04
Speaker
They have coaches or business coaches. They have coaches that help them and ground them and Just like, you know, we're talking about that we've had coaches and the people that we coach and whatnot. So, i mean, that is very true. Like Oprah, I'm pretty sure has a coach and Simon Sinek has a coach, you know, all of these really famous Mel Robbins has a coach.
00:25:26
Speaker
And I'm like, who are these coaches that coaching the ultimate coaches? Like, who are they? you know But yeah they do. That's true. Yeah, absolutely. Because there's just certain blocks that you can't see and you can figure it out on your own. But if you're looking to fast track and be successful and take the the short route instead of the scenic route, a coach is the way you get there, right? I always tell my clients, like, you can absolutely do this on your own.
00:25:55
Speaker
I... I have full faith that you're capable and I believe with support you will get there faster. So like it's up to you. Do you want to invest in that support to expedite your growth and your potential?
00:26:10
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. i love that. Yeah.
Problem-solving and Mindset Story
00:26:16
Speaker
I want to tell a story about you and i because I think it's funny. And I think it actually relates to about mindset is when we went two years ago to the Women's Pacific Northwest live event.
00:26:31
Speaker
um we Was that the first time we had met or was that the second time? No, I think we met at Crave. We met. no we met before Crave and you invited me to Crave. So I think it was like the third time.
00:26:44
Speaker
Okay. I don't, i don't remember. We met somewhere. You and I met somewhere. Oh, we did. we I think we met at, um, gosh, what's it called? One of the leadership conferences in Tacoma. I think maybe that, is that it?
00:26:58
Speaker
great. I don't even remember how we met. Well, I'm sorry. And then I know that we sat next to each other at the Pacific Northwest on that. Yeah. At that event. okay Well, yeah. So bottom line, we ended up sitting next to each other about the second or third time that we met. And um then at the end of the event, everybody kind of scattered. And, you know, I ended up walking out. And um I think I was like six or seven months pregnant at the time. i was pretty uncomfortable. And I see Julian sitting on her car and I look and I was like, hey, you know, like we meet again. And I look in her car is in a ditch, like it's in a ditch. And she's like, her face is like, oh my God, this is awful. And it was just stuck in there. Like you you ran into a ditch or something, I think.
00:27:50
Speaker
Yeah, so if we were parked. The way we had to park was like in the mud. And basically when I went to like back out, it was like right at the edge of a ditch. And it just like dug me into the ditch and I just got stuck in the mud. And I think I'd already been like trying to get out and had called like AAA and whatever. yeah And they were forever. And I had tickets to the ballet that night and my friends were all waiting for me.
00:28:14
Speaker
And i think by the time you came, because you hang out hung out at the event longer than me, I'd already been there for like half an hour. Oh, my God. Yeah. So you were sort of in distress mode and I could see in your face and I was like, oh, my gosh, well, we can get this out. And I was like, I'll push you. And you're like, no, you're pregnant. And so then I was trying to drive and we couldn't really get it out at first. But then I I thought I'm going to get my mats out of my car, like the foot mats. And they are those. like Duratec mats.
00:28:52
Speaker
there, I knew that they were, they were like really durable. I mean, I paid good money. They're durable. And I'm like, you know what? I know when cars are stuck, you can stick something underneath the wheel and and usually get them out. So I'm going to get these mats and put them under there. And we were trying and it was kind of working and it was kind of working. And, um, finally this guy was walking by and saw us and he helped with a little extra push and we got it out with the mats. Yes.
00:29:19
Speaker
And it was like auggger that saved us. Like you came to me like all pregnant. And then this jogger, it was amazing. Yeah. And it was like, you know, it would have been hours for you to get the tow truck. You would have missed the ballet. And we didn't give up.
00:29:35
Speaker
And, you know, I was like, hey, I'm going to try this thing. i might look a little crazy pulling these mats out of my car and putting them under the wheel. But it worked like it.
00:29:46
Speaker
It got us out. And, you know, when you think about mindset, like we could have just been like, oh, the tow truck's going to come and we just got to wait for it. And it's like, well, you know, let's try something. Let's let's see if we can problem solve here. And, you know, I'm basically the Mexican MacGyver. It's a big deal.
00:30:04
Speaker
You totally are. And what I love is like other people had seen me and were like, oh, sorry, that sucks. And I had another friend there and she's like, oh, sorry. Like it was like, could you pull me out? Could someone help? But you were like committed. Like you just even said, we got it. We we were stuck. Like as soon as you saw me, you decided you were going to help me and you were there for it. And you were like sisterhood. Like we're doing this together. it was so – It was just so nice because we didn't know each other well. And you just like – you saw that I needed help and it was so – yeah, it was really – don't know, just special that like you – we're so invested in help me, especially as you're like trying to push the car. Six months pregnant or whatever. And I had to be like, no, this will stop. Yeah.
00:30:48
Speaker
Yeah. And, you know, I mean, obviously i knew you very little, but I knew you, i knew you weren't, you weren't some like random guy, you know, that I was stopping. I probably wouldn't stop to help a guy that I don't know, but um of course I'm going to help because I don't know, like I grew up in the woods and we have a cabin. If I had my Jeep and I had a rope, I would have pulled, I but would have pulled you out for sure. But I might've broke something while doing it, but I would have tried.
00:31:17
Speaker
Yeah. And have to set the scene. So this was like an event where people dress up. So I'm like wearing sequins. I don't remember what, but like we looked ridiculous. It was, yeah.
00:31:28
Speaker
I actually could throw my boots out because they were so saturated in mud. They were like these suede high heel boots. They were destroyed. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, so now we have like this special bond. Yes. We went through this little experience together and had a nice little win there, which was super fun.
00:31:48
Speaker
Yeah, no, definitely. Well, what is your biggest piece of advice for Grit City Women?
Final Advice for Women Entrepreneurs
00:31:58
Speaker
My biggest piece of advice for Grit City Women would be – to look at the thoughts they're telling themselves, the thoughts that they're thinking, and ask themselves if those thoughts are serving them. Are they serving their goals and what they say they want? Because you get to choose the thoughts that you think.
00:32:18
Speaker
And so often we're thinking things on repeat that are not serving us. So once you notice that and you can intentionally choose your thoughts, then like,
00:32:31
Speaker
The world is your oyster. Anything is possible. And that is the mindset trick that can really change your whole life. And it's so simple. That's great advice.
