EP. 43: Is It All In Your Head? Mastering your Mindset

Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast

Welcome to the Pregnancy and Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, hosted by Niamh Cassidy. In this episode, we dive into one of the most transformative lessons from The NEST Programme: Mastering Your Mindset.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• Why mindset matters: Tackling mindset blocks is the foundation for business growth. Without this work, strategies like pricing or marketing often hit a wall.
• Temporary Thought Patterns (TTPs): Learn how to identify and challenge fleeting, negative thoughts that can derail your confidence, such as imposter syndrome and self-doubt.
• Real-life breakthroughs: Hear inspiring stories from NEST participants who overcame mindset blocks related to pricing, self-worth, and transitioning from volunteer to professional roles.
• Practical mindset exercises: Join Niamh in uncovering your core positive beliefs and challenging limiting beliefs that might be holding you back.

Key Takeaways:

1. Mindset work starts here: Identifying and addressing temporary thought patterns is essential to building sustainable, thriving businesses.
2. Positive reframing: Learn how to reframe limiting beliefs like "I can't charge for this" or "I don't have time" into empowering statements that support growth.
3. The power of visualisation: Niamh guides listeners through a short, impactful visualisation to imagine their future success and reflect on what steps they need to take.

Episode Highlights:

• Stories from participants who overcame pricing guilt and self-doubt to feel confident in charging for their services.
• Niamh shares her personal journey of balancing volunteer work with paid business efforts and the mindset shifts that helped her succeed.
