Turning Fear Into Fuel: A Conversation on Growth, Mindset, and Meaningful Connection
One of the most powerful things we can do as professionals and as people is share our stories. Not just the polished highlights, but the moments of challenge, change, and resilience that shape who we are.
I recently had the honor of joining Pamela Brooks, Olenka Cullinan, and Kelly Lorenzen, PMP on the Collaborative Connections Podcast, where we had a deeply energizing conversation about what it means to truly grow both personally and professionally.
Failure, Fear, and the Mindset to Move Forward
In this episode, we explored some of the topics that are often felt but rarely spoken out loud:
What happens when you fail, and how you choose to rise afterward
How fear can either hold you back or become a powerful driver for action
The mindset shifts that allow us to evolve in both leadership and life
As a psychiatrist and founder of Mon’Vie Mind Wellness, I see these themes show up often in the lives of high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Behind the success, there is always a story of navigating uncertainty, letting go of perfection, and learning to trust the process.
Why These Conversations Matter
What stood out to me most was the space this podcast created for women to connect, reflect, and lift each other up with honesty and intention. Collaborative platforms like this are essential. They remind us that we are not alone and that behind every title or brand is a human doing the inner work too.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
If you are navigating growth, change, or any kind of transition in your work or personal life, I encourage you to listen. This episode is filled with heart, insight, and actionable tools to help you shift your perspective and lean into purpose.
🎙️ Tune in and ask yourself:
What fear can I transform into forward momentum today?
