Mindset Unlimited: Tips, Tools, and Inspiration for Women Leaders
Your Mindset Unlimited is a podcast for socially conscious women leaders who are on a journey to release learned limitations and live a more present, intentional, and enjoyable life.
In this podcast you'll find tips, tools, and inspiration to help you shift the patterns that create imbalances in the world starting with the internalized patterns that limit us in our own lives. Engaging these limiting mindsets and habits not only expands the impact of our work in the world but also creates more joyful relationships in all areas of our life.
Some of the topics you'll find here are: finding fulfillment, habit shifting, motivation, time management, money mindset, stress management, impostor syndrome, productivity, work/life balance, communication, boundaries, leadership, social activism, burnout, building a business, motherhood, and more.
Your Host, Valerie Friedlander, is an ICF certified coach, sociologist, intersectional feminist, artist, business owner, and mom. Based in Chicago and supporting clients world-wide, she helps high-achieving, multi-passionate women leaders create success on their own terms, honoring all aspects of their life.
