Healthcare leadership can feel like a nonstop mental CrossFit competition — constant curveballs, competing demands, and high-stakes decisions. But here’s the truth: real progress in mindset work shows up not in what you add, but in what you stop doing. In this episode, I unpack the 7 things you naturally let go of when you’ve truly begun mastering your mind.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re actually moving the needle on your mindset work, this episode will give you both clarity and hope.
