  EP38 | Getting hooked is human. Unhooking is the skill.

  Sep 10, 202611 min

  A thought can show up out of nowhere — negative, scary, intrusive, random — and suddenly it has your full attention. You try to push it away, argue with it, fix it, or convince yourself to think more positively. But what if the goal isn't to get rid of the thought — it's to stop letting it hook you? In this episode of Everyday MVP, Coryne explores what it means to get “hooked” by a thought and how to practice unhooking so you can put your attention back where you want it. You’ll learn a simple leaf-on-a-stream exercise to help you notice your thoughts without getting pulled into them, why permission can be more powerful than forced positivity, and how saying a difficult thought out loud to someone you trust can sometimes take away some of its power. You don't need to control your thoughts. You need to practice what you do when they hook you. Because getting hooked is human. Unhooking is the skill.

  EP37 | Rehearse the Response, Not the Outcome

  Aug 26, 202611 min

  You can't control what happens next. But you can rehearse how you show up. In this episode, we're not just talking about visualization — we're doing it, together. Coryne walks you through a guided practice, then breaks down the two perspectives you can experience visualization from; associated and dissociated. Then she explains when to use each perspective to help prepare you for anything that makes you nervous: a hard conversation, an interview, bedtime with an overtired toddler, or whatever your moment is. This is Part 2 of our visualization series. If you haven't listened to "Practice It Before You Live It" yet, start there — then come back and try this one with your eyes closed.

  EP36 | Practice It Before You Live It

  Aug 12, 20268 min

  You don't control everything that happens. You can practice how you want to show up when it does. Your brain doesn't fully know the difference between doing something and vividly imagining it. That's not a motivational quote — it's neuroscience. And it means you're already rehearsing something in your head, throughout the day, whether you mean to or not. The hard conversation you're dreading. The mistake you keep replaying. The moment with your kids you're bracing for. The question is: is what you're rehearsing helping you, or hurting you? In this episode, Coryne breaks down visualization — the mental skill athletes use before every big moment, and one you're likely already using without realizing it. You'll learn how mental rehearsal engages many of the same neural pathways as physical practice, how it quietly builds real confidence (not the "everything will go perfectly" kind — the "I know how I want to show up" kind), and how Coryne uses it herself as a mom to respond instead of react. This week's MVP Challenge: catch what you're rehearsing, once a day — and start practicing on purpose.

  That’s Just Who I Am… Or Is It?

  Aug 4, 20269 min

  The stories we mistake for facts can become the labels that limit us. Have you ever said, “That’s just who I am”? Maybe you’ve told yourself you’re not a patient person, you’re just anxious, you’re not creative, or you’re simply not good at something. But what if those aren’t facts? What if they’re stories you’ve repeated so often that they started to feel like your identity? This episode started with a message from a Mindlete team member who wrote one sentence I couldn't stop thinking about — and answered it herself. It sent me down a path I didn't expect: not about whether we're capable of change, but about why we convince ourselves we're not. In this episode, I'm breaking down two thinking traps — labeling and overgeneralization — that quietly turn single moments into permanent identities. We'll dig into Carol Dweck's research on fixed vs. growth mindset, what a real growth mindset actually requires (hint: it's not just "trying harder"), and I'll share my own story of the label I carried for years before I let a friend teach me something I'd already decided I couldn't do. You’ll learn how to catch the moments when “I am” becomes “I can’t,” replace identity labels with more accurate stories, and take one small action that creates new evidence for what you're capable of. Because one moment isn’t a life sentence. And an old label shouldn’t get to decide what's possible for you.

  Don’t Start Over. Recommit.

  Jul 21, 20268 min

  Why progress doesn’t require perfection—and how to keep choosing what matters when life changes. Have you ever started working toward a goal, missed a day, hit a setback, or entered a new season of life and convinced yourself you had to start over? In this episode, Coryne explores why the real skill isn’t starting over—it’s recommitting. You'll learn how all-or-nothing thinking can quietly keep us stuck, why perfection isn't required for progress, and how one small step can help you regain momentum. Coryne also shares her own experience stepping away from her business after having kids and how recommitting helped her build something that fit the season of life she was actually in. Because growth isn't about getting everything right the first time. It's about continuing to choose what matters, one step at a time.
