Mindset, Momentum & Manifesting Your Best Year: A Conversation with Personal Power Coach Caz Goddess
Hi friend!
Welcome to the Passports, Profits and Pixie Dust community — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Lindsay Dollinger: high school Spanish teacher, dog mom, world traveler, business mentor, and woman on a mission to help you build a direct sales business the right way so you can live the life you dream of. Today’s blog is inspired by one of my favorite podcast conversations — an uplifting, eye-opening, laugh-through-the-chaos chat with my friend and fellow mastermind sister, Caz Goddess, Personal Power Coach.
If you’re ready to wrap up a wild year, step into a powerful new one, and get your mindset aligned with the business and life you actually want… buckle up, because this conversation brings the heat, the heart, and the truth.
⭐ Meet Caz Goddess: Personal Power Coach, Energy Expert & Mom of Two
I first met Caz in a mastermind this year, and from day one her energy jumped off the screen. She’s grounded, intuitive, and brilliant at helping women step into their personal power — especially moms who juggle a lot and want to show up as strong leaders in business and life.
What is a Personal Power Coach?
According to Caz:
“It’s about how you’re showing up to life — not reacting to it, but intentionally interacting with it. Especially in business, where mindset is everything.”
Caz has a rich background:
- Moved through multiple network marketing companies
- Worked for one of the largest social media platforms (“it rhymes with book”)
- Earned a Master’s degree in Social Media Marketing
- Built her own consultancy
- Survived rock-bottom moments and learned to rise from them
And now?
She helps women step into confidence, clarity, energy leadership, and personal power — all things we NEED to build our businesses.
⭐ When 2020 Hits Hard: The Truth Behind “I Don’t Need Personal Development”
Before entrepreneurship, both Caz and I were in the camp of:
“Why would I need personal development? That’s weird.”
But life handed us both seasons of grief, confusion, and massive transition. For me, direct sales became healing. For Caz, it became a lifeline.
And here’s the wild thing:
People often say they “don’t have time for personal development” — but what they really mean is they don’t feel worthy enough or supported enough to prioritize themselves.
Caz puts it beautifully:
“Everything is personal development. Every failure gives you more wisdom. You don’t have to be broken to grow — you just have to be willing.”
Amen.
⭐ The Venn Diagram Trick: How to Shift Your Mindset FAST
One of my favorite pieces of wisdom Caz shared is her “Venn diagram” exercise. It’s SO simple, yet SO powerful for when your thoughts start spiraling.
👉 Circle 1: What your mind is telling you
“I’m failing.”
“No one wants to join me.”
“I’m too old/too young/too new.”
👉 Circle 2: The facts
Your dashboard numbers
What customers are actually saying
Your growth from 3–6 months ago
👉 Middle Section: The truth
It’s rarely as dramatic as your brain makes it sound.
Usually the truth is:
“You’re growing.”
“You’re improving.”
“You’re planting seeds.”
“You’re learning.”
This tool is GOLD for any leader coaching a struggling teammate.
⭐ Fear of Failure and Fear of Success
This part hit HARD.
Caz explained that many women live in the space between two fears:
- Fear of failing
- Fear of succeeding and what that will mean
Fear of success can sound like:
- “I’ll be a bad mom if I get too busy”
- “People will judge me”
- “Who am I to make that kind of money?”
- “My family wouldn’t approve”
These fears are REAL.
But they’re also CHANGEABLE.
And once you uncover them, you get your power back.
⭐ What Leaders Can Do to Support Their Teams
As a leader of hundreds of women, I wanted Caz’s best advice for helping teammates build belief. Her answer was simple and brilliant:
✨ Ask, “What is your next best step?”
Not 20 steps.
Not the whole checklist.
Just the next one.
Sometimes the next step is:
- Sending one message
- Doing one follow-up
- Posting one piece of content
- Taking a two-hour break to reset
- Reading one page of a book
Small steps shift energy.
Small steps create momentum.
Small steps lead to big results.
And the other game-changing question?
✨ Ask them what they REALLY want — and what they’re really afraid of.
Because the thing holding someone back is RARELY the system or the strategy.
It’s the fear underneath the surface.
⭐ Vision Boards: Why Pictures Alone Don’t Work
Vision boards have exploded in popularity in the last few years — but Caz shared something that shocked me:
✨ “Vision boards don’t work… unless YOU do.”
Oof. Yes.
A vision board isn’t magic by itself.
It’s an activation tool, but only if paired with:
- Inner work
- Belief
- Self-worth
- Aligned action
- Actual steps
Otherwise it’s just a pretty collage.
The magic comes when you ask:
- Who do I need to become to achieve this?
- What energy do I need to show up in?
- What habits does this version of me have?
And then you CHOOSE those things daily.
⭐ Being “Gratefully Ambitious”: Permission to Want MORE
One of Caz’s most powerful messages was this:
✨ It’s okay to be grateful for your life AND want more.
Women especially are often told:
“Be happy with what you have.”
“Don’t be too ambitious.”
“Don’t take up too much space.”
But wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful.
It makes you a visionary.
You can be:
- Grateful
- Present
- Content
AND - Hungry
- Driven
- Excited for more
These two truths can coexist beautifully.
⭐ A Final Story You NEED to Hear
At the end of our conversation, Caz shared something raw and real.
Years ago, during a breakdown moment, she heard a voice in her head say:
“How dare you be irresponsible and start a business? You could jeopardize your kids’ future.”
But here’s the twist:
She didn’t even have kids yet.
That voice?
That was fear talking.
That was conditioning talking.
That was someone else’s belief system speaking through her.
And she said something I’ll never forget:
✨ “Sometimes the voice telling you to quit is the voice of who you USED to be — and she doesn’t get to lead anymore.”
Let that one sink in.

2021 was a year.
Every year brings its own storms and its own magic — but YOU get to choose how you show up for it.

You’re worthy of more.
You’re capable of more.
