Self-Sabotage, Safety & Saying Yes to Life

The GRACE Method Is Here | Announcing My Resilience Mindset Workshop

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506981/fan_mail/new] The GRACE Method Is Here | Announcing My Resilience Mindset Workshop In today’s episode, I’m sharing something I’ve been quietly building behind the scenes—and something I’m incredibly proud to finally announce. My Resilience Mindset Workshop is officially here. Born from lived experience, deep reflection, and years of personal healing and integration, this workshop brings together everything I teach through my GRACE framework—a resilience mindset approach designed to help you navigate grief, loss, trauma, and life’s inevitable challenges with greater awareness, intention, and trust in yourself. This is not about avoiding pain or pretending life hasn’t changed you. It’s about learning how to live and grieve simultaneously. To understand the untapped resilience you already carry. To reclaim your story, move forward with intention, and recognise that while life may knock you off your feet… you have the capacity to rise again. Inside this episode, I share: • Why I created this workshop after losing my daughter, Rylee • The belief that resilience is something we all have access to • Why I intentionally priced this workshop for affordability—not as a reflection of its value, but to make it accessible • Why this self-paced online format allows anyone, anywhere in the world to access this work • The importance of immersion and personal responsibility in creating transformation • Why I waited until I truly embodied the resilience I teach before launching it The GRACE Method includes: • Ground in Gratitude • Reclaim Your Story • Allow Duality • Create Intentional Living • Embody Resilience Join the free Resilience Mindset Community Whether or not you plan to enrol in the workshop, you’re warmly invited to join my free Resilience Mindset community on Skool—a space for connection, support, and ongoing conversations around healing, grief, mindset, and growth. This is also where the workshop is hosted, and where the upcoming audio version of my book, Resilience After Great Loss: Learning to Live and Grieve Simultaneously, will be available.

Self-Sabotage, Safety & Saying Yes to Life

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506981/fan_mail/new] Season 3 Episode 1 : Self-Sabotage, Safety & Saying Yes to Life In the very first episode of Season Three of Why Mindset Matters, I open up about something I’ve realised I’ve done for most of my adult life — pulling back from the very things I say that I want. Recording from beautiful Tasmania, I share the story of almost cancelling this trip and the pattern of self-sabotage, fear, and nervous system protection that showed up in the lead-up. What I’ve come to understand is that sometimes it’s not that something is wrong or out of alignment — it’s that our nervous system mistakes the unfamiliar for unsafe. After years of living in fight-or-flight through childhood trauma, grief, loss, and survival mode, I now have the awareness to recognise when fear is trying to disguise itself as logic. This episode is about what happens when we stop letting old wounds dictate our future and start choosing expansion, joy, connection, and life anyway. I talk about solo travel, healing through therapy and neurofeedback, learning to embody resilience instead of just teaching it, and the importance of questioning the narratives we adopt about safety, love, happiness, and what we believe we deserve. If you’ve ever found yourself sabotaging opportunities, doubting yourself right before something beautiful, or talking yourself out of the very life you desire, this episode is for you. Because sometimes the only thing standing between us and the life we want… is the story we tell ourselves right before we step into it. Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/eslanalower]

Unfiltered Grief: Why We Need to Stop Censoring the Conversation

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506981/fan_mail/new] Season 2: Episode 8 - Unfiltered Grief: Why We Need to Stop Censoring the Conversation This episode comes straight from the heart. I’m diving into a topic that’s been weighing on me for a little while — the way we’ve started to censor how we talk about grief, loss, and especially suicide. If we are not careful it will become less about connection and more about correctness. And the truth is, when we start policing language, we risk silencing the people who are already hurting the most. I talk about how phrases like “committed suicide” or even “trigger warning” have become taboo — and how that kind of censorship often comes from people outside the arena, not those living in it. When I’m forced to stop and think about finding the “right” words, it disconnects me from the raw, authentic truth of my experience — and that’s exactly what helps others feel less alone. This episode is about bringing the humanity back to the conversation. It’s about letting grief be messy, real, and unfiltered — because pretending it’s anything else only adds to the pain. Because when we speak truth — even when it’s uncomfortable — we make it safe for others to do the same. If this conversation resonates with you I’d love to invite you into my free online community — Why Mindset Matters on Skool — a space where like-minded souls come together to grow, heal, and speak openly. 👉  https://www.skool.com/why-mindset-matters-6748 And if my work, podcast, or book has positively impacted you or someone you love, it would mean the world if you’d take a moment to share your experience.

In this very special episode — my first ever guest interview — I sit down with Darcy from DRC Fit. Darcy’s story is one of resilience, strength, and the power of mindset.

Darcy shares how he weaves mindset into everything he does, and why he sees it as the pivotal piece of any real success. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of wisdom about what it truly means to rise above challenges and keep showing up for yourself and your life.

When You Just Don’t Have It In You

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506981/fan_mail/new] Season 2 Episode 6: When You Just Don’t Have It In You  In this episode, I open up about the days when you just don’t have it in you — when the weight of it all feels like too much and even the smallest steps forward feel impossible. I talk about my own experiences with emotional overwhelm, grief, and the pressure to keep showing up when your body and heart are asking you to slow down. I share how learning to truly listen to my body, honour my nervous system, and give myself permission to pause became powerful parts of my healing journey. This conversation is about vulnerability, self-compassion, and remembering that sometimes the most productive thing we can do is rest. From breakdown to breakthrough, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear — it’s layered, messy, and deeply human. My hope is that this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, that the pause is powerful, and that even when it feels like nothing’s working out… it’s always working out.
