HHH - Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The "Bubblegum Brain" Shift That Changes Everything

What if the biggest thing holding us back is a sentence we keep repeating in our own minds? In this roundtable episode of The Health, Healing & Happiness Podcast, we explore the powerful difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset through the lens of the book Bubblegum Brain by Julia Cook. Using the playful metaphor of "bubblegum brain vs brick brain," the conversation looks at how the way we think about our abilities shapes our lives. We talk about how mindset shows up in real life, including parenting, relationships, work, leadership, and everyday habits. From saying "I can't do that" to simply adding the word "yet," small language shifts can open the door to growth, curiosity, and resilience. In this episode we discuss: • The difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset • How labels and beliefs become "wrappers" that keep us stuck • Why adding the word "yet" can change the way we approach learning • The role of community and relationships in personal growth • Simple phrases and practices that help shift from brick brain to bubblegum brain If you've ever caught yourself saying "I'm just not good at that," this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to move from feeling stuck to becoming more flexible, curious, and capable. Because growth doesn't happen through perfection. It happens through awareness, practice, and the willingness to stretch.

HHH - The Unhinged Episode: Humor, Boundaries & Being Human

What happens when a wellness podcast throws out the outline and just gets curious? In this episode of Health, Healing & Happiness, there's no framework, no expert deep dive, and no tidy takeaway. Instead, we ask each other a stack of random, slightly unhinged questions and let the conversation unfold. Topics include: • How many fries is too many fries • Are you feral before breakfast • Would you board a UFO if invited • Bank account or search history • Smartest or funniest person in the room • And what push notification your body wishes it could send you Some answers are ridiculous. Some are surprisingly revealing. All of it is human. Because health is not only about routines, protocols, and optimization. It is also about humor, boundaries, connection, and the way we show up around a table with other people. If you need a break from self-improvement culture and just want to listen to real conversation, this episode is for you. Email us your answers or send in your own unhinged questions at hhh@jadebloom.com. We might use them in a future episode.
