Reprogramming Your Mindset: The Shift Every Woman in Business Needs to Make
If there’s one topic I could talk about every single day without running out of things to say, it’s mindset. Whether you’re building a business, growing a side hustle, or stepping into the next-level version of yourself, your mindset is the foundation EVERYTHING else is built on.
You can know all the strategies.
You can have all the skills.
You can put in all the hours.
You can hustle until your coffee needs coffee…
But without the mindset to match your goals?
You won’t get very far — or stay there.
This episode (and now this blog) is a deep dive into reprogramming your mindset so you can actually become the woman who reaches the dream, not just the woman who thinks about it.
Let’s jump in. 💫

Mindset Is the Foundation of Your Success
We love to talk strategy.
We love to talk systems.
We love to talk tools, hacks, funnels, templates… all the things.
But without belief? Without clarity? Without confidence?
None of that sticks.
In nearly every success story I’ve seen (and in my own experience since starting my first business in 2016), the common thread is this:
👉 People who win believe they can.
👉 People who stay at the top believe they belong there.
People with poor, negative, or low-magnetic mindsets simply don’t build the kind of businesses that thrive long-term.
And we are here to build lives and businesses we are freaking obsessed with, right? Not something that fizzles because our mindset couldn’t hold the weight of our goals.
Step 1: Become Aware of Where You Actually Are
Before you can reprogram anything, you have to get honest.
A lot of people think they’re “further along” than they really are.
And a lot of people think they’re “nowhere near ready,” when they’re actually incredibly close.
Self-awareness is the magic ingredient.
Ask yourself:
- Am I actually doing mindset work, or do I just think I am?
- Do I default to negativity, complaining, blaming, or “I can’t” energy?
- Do I hold myself accountable… or do I blame outside circumstances?
This isn’t about shame — it’s about clarity.
And clarity = power.
Once you see where your mindset is now, you can decide where you want it to go.
My Go-To Tools for Reprogramming Your Mindset
These are the practices I return to again and again to stay high-vibe, focused, and grounded — even when normal human emotions inevitably creep in.
1. Journaling (Even If You Don’t Identify as a “Journaler”)
I don’t journal every day.
But when I do, it’s powerful.
Some journaling prompts that help reprogram:
- Brain dump: worries, fears, frustrations
- Gratitude: what you’re thankful for today
- Desires: what you want next, dream goals, vision
Both the shadow side and the light side matter.
One clears your mind.
The other expands it.
2. Silence + Presence
Not necessarily full meditation (though meditation is amazing too!)
But simply:
- pausing
- breathing
- being present
- letting your mind settle
Even 2–3 minutes of intentional stillness can help reset your energy.
3. Affirmations & Positive Notes
In the early days of entrepreneurship?
Sticky notes were my entire personality. 😂
Affirmations only work when you actually believe them, though.
So instead of writing things that feel totally out of reach, write:
- “I am becoming the woman who…”
- “I’m open to…”
- “I am learning how to…”
Back your affirmations with action, and they become unstoppable.
4. Read and Listen to Growth-Focused Content
When I need a real mindset shift, I read.
Some of my favorites:
- The Energy Bus
- The Miracle Equation
- (And whatever mindset book Sparkle Hustle Grow sends me next 😉)
Podcasts also count, especially when the content helps you shift perspective or take inspired action.
5. Surround Yourself With People Who Lift You Higher
Mindset isn’t just internal — it’s environmental.
Some people lift you up.
Some people drain you, gossip constantly, or keep you stuck.
You feel it when you leave them.
Choose to spend more time with people who:
- believe in goals
- talk about growth
- push you to be better
- are further along than you
You should not be the smartest, most successful person in every room.
You want to be held to a higher standard.
6. Borrow Belief When Yours Is Low
You won’t always believe in yourself.
That’s why you need “belief lenders”:
- your coach
- your mentor
- your mastermind
- your friends
- your sister
- ME 🙋♀️ (borrow my belief anytime)
Sometimes the only thing that gets you through is hearing,
“Girl, you’ve got this,”
from someone who actually means it.
7. Change Your Language (This Is HUGE)
Language shifts mindset.
Mindset shifts behavior.
Behavior shifts results.
Two of the biggest language upgrades:
Swap “I have to…” with “I get to…”
Not:
“I have to follow up with clients.”
“I have to post today.”
But:
“I get to grow my business today.”
“I get to show up.”
This reminds your brain you’re choosing this life — no one is forcing you.
Swap “I don’t have time” with “It’s not a priority for me.”
Oof.
This one hits like a ton of bricks.
Not:
“I don’t have time to work out.”
“I don’t have time to work my business.”
But:
“It’s not a priority for me to work out.”
“It’s not a priority for me to grow my business today.”
It gets real fast.
And sometimes that honesty is exactly what we need.
The Mindset Question That Changed My Life
A few years ago I went from a business making a few hundred dollars a month
→ to almost five figures a month.
And the difference wasn’t strategy.
It was one simple question:
“Why not me?”
Why can’t you do the thing you admire in someone else?
Why not you who earns that income?
Why not you who hits that rank?
Why not you who grows that dream?
The truth is:
There is no difference between you and the women doing the big, bold things — except that they decided they could.
And so can you.
