We all experience disasters in our lives where we must keep control, embrace challenges, and choose happiness over victimhood.

In this episode of the Growth Mindset, we are guided by the brilliant Gina Gardiner. Despite a crippling ski accident when she was young, she became an award-winning headteacher and life coach. She helped inspire thousands of young minds and actively taught the Growth Mindset for many decades.

She shares her most inspiring lessons and stories of resilience and determination and focuses on teaching how to live a happy and fulfilling life, no matter what challenges we face.

We are the authors of our own life stories, and we can choose to be happy, no matter what. Gina also teaches us the importance of asking for help, and of surrounding ourselves with positive people.

On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.

Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be.
