"If guys named Bubba can do it, so can I".
In the "Fixed vs Growth Mindset" episode of the Trauma Informed Church podcast, Suzanne Burns tackles the fascinating concept of mindset and its profound impact on our lives. If you've ever found yourself stuck in a rut, blaming circumstances instead of seeking change, this episode might be your eye-opener. Suzanne explains the difference between a fixed mindset, which sees talent and intelligence as static, and a growth mindset, which embraces challenges and sees potential for learning in every experience.
Through personal anecdotes and examples, she illustrates how adopting a growth mindset can lead to transformative changes in behaviour and outcomes. Suzanne draws from her experiences running Foundation House Ministries, a maternity home that supports women coming out of addiction and homelessness. She candidly shares her struggles with fundraising and how recognising her own fixed mindset in this area has prompted a shift towards growth.
Her mantra, "If guys named Bubba can do it, so can I", serves as a humorous yet powerful reminder that change is possible. The episode is not just about theory; it's about practical application. Suzanne offers insights into how you can encourage others to shift from a fixed to a growth mindset by providing opportunities for learning and growth.
Whether it's helping someone earn their GED or simply acknowledging their progress, these small steps can foster self-confidence and ultimately lead to a healthier perspective. This episode is a call to reflect on your own mindset. Are you stuck in the "yeah buts" of life, or are you ready to embrace the possibility of change? Suzanne's engaging storytelling and compassionate approach make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from limiting beliefs.
