Real You, Real Money with Ray Dodd
Business:Entrepreneurship
I little while back, I released an episode talking about my decision to stop using the word ‘mindset’. There were a lot of (really valid) conversations happening at the time, about how ‘mindset’ implied that our thoughts are the primary factor in what we can – or can’t –achieve.
‘Mindset’ felt like it side-lined all of the big, circumstantial things that are totally out of our control. It made things like patriarchy, racism, homophobia, and really any form of oppression a YOU problem, and not a SOCIETY problem. I just wasn’t having that.
What I was missing was the link between ‘mindset’ and the ways we need to challenge internalised oppression in order to change our own perceived limitations. While our mindset won’t be the only thing to change society, it is certainly part of what will allow us to claim our space in the face of the systems standing in our way.
Tune in for more on the nuance of mindset, and the importance of looking for the meaning behind the buzzwords!
