The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of The Beginner’s Mindset

What does it mean to approach life with a beginner’s mindset, and how can this philosophy shape your personal and professional growth? In this solo episode, I take you through the benefits AND challenges of embracing a beginner’s mindset. We’ll explore how staying curious and open to learning can improve your adaptability, creativity, and even cognitive health. But it’s not all smooth sailing—maintaining this mindset can sometimes lead to overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and even stagnation if not managed carefully. 

So, when is it time to lean into being a beginner, and when is it time to step into your expertise?
