In this episode, host Ava Heinbach and her mentor and “second mom,” LeeAnn Shaw, continue their conversation on cultivating a growth mindset. Building on last week’s discussion, they introduce 10 practical strategies—“the 10 Ps”—that help shift from a fixed mindset to a growth-oriented one.

The 10 Ps they unpack are:

1. Pain – facing it head-on and using it as purpose.

2. Perspective – shifting your filter and outlook.

3. Preparation – building tools before challenges hit.

4. Patience – active waiting and self-compassion.

5. Purpose – knowing your “why.”

6. Perseverance – pushing through discomfort.

7. Pursuit – valuing the process over perfection.

8. People – surrounding yourself with the right community.

9. Pressure – reframing it as a privilege.

10. Praise – practicing gratitude before the breakthrough.
