In this episode of Mindflip Moments, I had the pleasure of speaking with Louise Fitzgerald, who shared the transformative moments that reshaped her self-beliefs and empowered her to rewrite her own story. Louise’s mindflip moment came when she realised the power of rewriting her story. Having grown up hearing she was “too small” and “not athletic,” Louise internalised these beliefs until, as an adult, she tried aerial acrobatics on a whim. This experience showed her she could be strong and excel in fitness, transforming her self-perception. Another shift came from a pattern of emotionally abusive relationships, which she realised she was reinforcing by repeatedly telling this story. Hearing it echoed back by a friend was the catalyst for change. By reshaping her narrative and actions, Louise redefined her self-worth and broke free from limiting beliefs.

In today’s episode of Mindflip Moments, we’re joined by Kate Engler as she shares the simple yet profound mindset shift that transformed her daily life. Kate's mindflip moment centered around the power of changing one simple word: swapping "have to" with "get to." She realised that this shift in language transformed everyday tasks into opportunities, fostering gratitude and positivity. By saying, "I get to go to the gym" or "I get to work from home," Kate found a renewed sense of joy and choice in her daily life. This mindset shift not only altered her perspective but also had a positive ripple effect on those around her, helping to spread optimism and appreciation, even in challenging times. Kate Engler is the Founder of the Meet The Press MasterClass.   Kate breaks the rules of how businesses get publicity. Her MEET THE PRESS MASTERCLASS links journos directly with hand-selected business owners and allows journalists to hear multiple pitches in one go - direct from the client, with no ‘PR whitewashing’ and no more 'dud' pitches. What do journalists get out of this? Qualified businesses with juicy stories that they can immediately take to their viewers, readers or listeners.     Kate challenges the way publicity is harnessed by businesses, by giving business owners access to thousands of dollars of free media exposure without using the traditional PR agency model or needing her assistance beyond her highly regarded MasterClass.

Joshua's mindflip moment began at 18 when he was diagnosed with stage-four Hodgkin's lymphoma. This life-changing event forced him to confront mortality and shifted his perspective on life. Initially, he struggled, feeling like a victim, and even used his illness as a crutch in certain situations. However, after the cancer returned, he realized he needed to let go of this mindset. Embracing his experience as a lesson, he learned to appreciate life more fully, transitioning from victimhood to gratitude. This shift has stayed with him, shaping the way he sees himself and the world around him. Joshua is an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist currently residing in Denver, Colorado.

In today's episode of Mindflip Moments, I had the pleasure of hosting Robyn Simpson. She shared her inspiring journey and the life-changing moments that set her on a path of self-discovery and personal growth. Get ready to dive into Robyn's story and uncover how one pivotal experience reshaped her perspective forever. Robyn’s first mindflip moment came at age 20 when her employer sent her on a course called Essentially Speaking. She initially thought it was meant to build her confidence in public speaking, given her shyness. Instead, the course, rooted in neuro-linguistic programming, turned out to be life-changing. It helped her break down limiting beliefs around staying small and quiet, sparking a lifelong journey in personal growth. This pivotal moment inspired her to dive deeper into human development, psychology, and ultimately, neuroscience. Robyn is the Founder of Choose the ‘Tude and creator of the Kind Community Project. As the driving force behind the Kind Community Project and Choose the 'Tude movement, Robyn passionately advocates for creating kind daily habits at home, at work and in our communities, globally to reverse damaging social trends such as bullying and loneliness.

Her work is based on one simple neuroscience fact: our brains can hold one thought at a time, if that thought is kind, there’s no room for nasty.

For today’s episode of Mindflip Moments, we’re joined by Jennifer Keogh as she opens up about two pivotal life events. Her journey through unexpected challenges has inspired her to find strength and purpose. Jennifer experienced two life-altering events five years ago that became her "Mindflip Moments." The first was when her son’s father, who had been active and thriving, became a quadriplegic overnight due to a sudden accident. This incident highlighted the fragility of life and brought immense change. Around the same time, her long-term partner began cheating when she needed support the most. These experiences profoundly impacted Jennifer, leading to a deep sense of loss and grief, but also inspired her to write a book she couldn’t find—a resource to navigate intense life changes without being overwhelmed. Jennie is an author, life coach and speaker living in a leafy suburb on the lower north shore of Sydney with her son Conor, who is 14 years old and their black cat, Ziggy Woo.

Adding to her personal experience, she has studied to become a meditation teacher, NLP practitioner and life coach.

Through her work, she aims to help women navigate major life transitions and intentionally create a new path in alignment with their true selves.

In this episode of Mindflip Moments, we had Andy Reid with us. Andy’s first "Mindflip Moment" came with the birth of his daughter, Eliza. Her arrival inadvertently forced him to confront deep, unresolved issues that he had been avoiding for years. He had managed to suppress these challenges for the first 30 years of his life, but Eliza’s presence made it impossible to continue. A turning point came during an argument with his wife when she pointed out that he had an issue, which made Andy realize he had been avoiding family time under the guise of being productive. This marked the beginning of his journey to become a “student of himself.” He recognised that to take control of his life, he needed to understand his motivations, emotions, and the things driving him. While diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2015, Andy reflects that the real shift began when his daughter entered his life—a positive force that set him on the path of self-awareness and growth. Andy Reid is a high-performance coach, award-winning Auctioneer, Mental Health Advocate, Podcast Host and Speaker. He is also the Director of Apollo Auctions Victoria, a full-service auctioneering company servicing more than 130 different real estate agencies throughout Victoria.

Sharne's Mindflip Moment came during her second pregnancy when she realised the imbalance in her life. Running a law firm while managing family responsibilities, she found herself doing more than her husband, who refused to take paid paternity leave. This shook her, but it also led to a powerful shift in mindset. She embraced the mantra, "This isn’t happening to me, it’s happening for me," and began to recognise her own role in creating a life. From that point, she focused on taking control, breaking subconscious patterns, and claiming what she truly wanted in both her personal and professional life.

This week on the podcast, we had Annelise McCarthy join us to share her eye-opening mindflip moment. Annelise recently experienced what she calls her first "mindflip moment" during a trip to the city for a meeting. Remarkably, she had the same Uber driver 2-3 times, which felt like more than just a coincidence. During one of their rides, she asked him what advice he would give to someone in their twenties. His response was simple yet profound: "Try to live for yourself to be truly happy." He explained that he had only realized this truth in his late forties or early fifties. Annelise couldn't shake the feeling that the universe was sending her this message at just the right time.

Kassandra’s journey is a testament to resilience and strength. Growing up in an abusive household didn't defeat her. Battling depression didn't break her. Even fighting breast cancer couldn't take her down. Each of these challenges only made her stronger. Kassandra reached a pivotal moment in her life, a crossroads where she had to decide: continue to spiral into oblivion or forge a new path. She chose to embrace and learn from her pain, and that was her mindflip moment. Now, life is more vibrant, happiness is more profound, and love is so much deeper. Kassandra is a powerful Speaker with a powerful message. She has the ability to instantly engage with her audience and connect with them on a deep emotional level through her storytelling.  From growing up in a small village in Greece with an abusive father, moving to Australia with her family at the age of 8 and learning a new language, to surviving breast cancer at 41 followed by debilitating depression, ( declaring that the depression was possibly more lethal ), Kassandra shares how through sheer resilience she’s beaten the odds and triumphed over almost impossible challenges.  She shares her lessons of self-love, acceptance of all our scars, embracing our fears, and being grateful for the challenges face is what builds our strength and confidence.

In this episode of Mindflip Moments, we had Sarah Morse with us. Sarah Morse experienced her first significant "mindflip" at 17 during a 10-day study tour in Zimbabwe and Zambia. Witnessing extreme poverty, famine, and children orphaned by AIDS made her realize the extraordinariness of her own life. Her second pivotal moment occurred recently when she and her children fell ill. Despite being exhausted and irritable, she continued working until she remembered her primary reason for starting a home-based business: to spend quality time with her family. This realization led her to prioritize her family and pause her work commitments. Sarah’s 20 years as a nurse and humanitarian have taken her around the globe. Sarah became fascinated by culture and the way it influences the way we think, work and behave. As a nurse, Sarah specialised in cancer services and palliative care, and as a humanitarian, she has worked with some of the world’s poorest people.

In this episode of Mindflip Moments, I had a wonderful chat with Dr Blanche Cruz. Blanche experienced a pivotal change when her 17-year marriage ended. Seeking a fresh start, she joined an adult cheerleading group and found herself drawn to her coach, Nadia. Their friendship blossomed into a relationship, leading to her being disowned by her parents and sister, who remain estranged. Her second major turning point came when her two-year-old daughter developed eczema. Discovering acupuncture as a remedy, which significantly improved her daughter's condition, inspired Blanche to pursue a career in acupuncture. She now dedicates herself to sharing this ancient healing practice with others. Blanche is an acupuncturist who was previously in the fitness industry for over 20 years. She is also a Mum of four daughters that keep her extremely busy. Her passion for acupuncture started after her second eldest daughter started to suffer from eczema at the age of 2. After trying lots of different modalities, it was acupuncture that helped cure her eczema. 

In this episode of Mindflip Moments, I had a chat with Marie Alessi, where she talked about how grief changed her, gave her a new perspective on life, and paved the path for everything she does today. Marie Alessi experienced two significant mindflip moments in her life. The first occurred when she lost her father at the age of 20. Ill-equipped to handle such profound grief, she felt unsupported and fell into a victimhood mindset. It wasn't until she was 30 that she recognized how much time she had lost. Her second mindflip moment came almost six years ago when her husband unexpectedly passed away from a brain aneurysm. Despite the shock, a prior conversation with her husband about facing such a situation helped her focus on creating the best possible life for herself and their boys. This early shift in her approach to grief marked a profound change in her perspective. Marie is a bestselling Author, TEDx and Keynote Speaker. After her husband unexpectedly passed from a brain aneurysm, she dedicated her life to allowing healing, and creating happiness for her young family. Becoming a widow at the age of 45 was nothing Marie had anticipated. Having a very different approach to grief, she started sharing her story in a few books, and well featured publications. This most beautiful Love legacy for her husband has paved the path to her Keynote “The Power of Grief”.

Leanne is a registered psychologist who began her career working with children and families, and has loved it ever since.  Families see Leanne for assessments to understand Autism, ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders among other things.

I found it fascinating having Rosemary Gattuso on this week's episode of MindFlip Moments. She shared how she had negative assumptions that would impact her decision-making. They are a form of overthinking - an analysis that would focus on the weaknesses and what was wrong in a situation. Instead, she started to focus on the strengths and learning opportunities. Coming from a law background, she one day made a statement that she was going to take action on, that had no evidence. It was based on solely what was in thought. Rosemary then thought - What if I applied the rules of evidence to this instead. Rosemary Gattuso has been in alternate dispute resolution for over 15 years, specialising in family mediation and restorative justice practices.   Merging her experience as a family mediator with her study of neuroscience and trauma, she explores ways to live in a trauma-informed and strengths-based way.   As a chronic over-thinker, Rosemary experienced first-hand the transformative impact of rewriting overthinking into strengths reflection and is committed to sharing this with the world.

As a keen and ever-learning student of meditation myself, I enjoyed talking to Dr Patrick Jones in this episode of MindFlip Moments, on his journey of meditation. After years of meditation, he had never really become aware that his mind could stop. He knew he could quieten it, but then one day got to a place where there was a gap between thoughts, and it bowled him over. He realised this machine (the mind) could stop. Listen to what happened next in this episode! With a PhD in psychology, Dr Patrick Jones has training in the fields of mindfulness, quality of life and well-being. Patrick developed the Mindfulness-Based Quality of Life and Well-Being Program, and his new book Clear Mind Open Heart is the step-by-step self-help version.

Part 2 “Quality of Life” gives techniques on how to improve the five key life areas of relationships, work, money, health, and leisure.
