Understanding Mindset & 5 Tips for Growth

Today, Christy Brimm, owner of Two Bridges Counseling joins me on the podcast. Chisty was my counselor, and her calm spirit and gentle guidance helped me get through some of the darkest moments of my life.  She joined us back on episode #3 and taught us all about imposter syndrome and is back today to educate us about mindset.

Mindset is a something you have likely heard about but may not completely understand. It is foundational to our healing journeys and an indicator of how we are moving forward. Christy does an incredible job of explaining the difference between fixed and growth mindset and gives us 5 tips on how to encourage growth mindset in our everyday life.

Please like and share this episode and help us continue to grow. Embrace. Live. Thrive. is on mission to destigmatize mental health issues in motherhood and educate on foundations of healthy living. Change can't start without awareness and knowledge of how to move forward. It's time to understand that it is ok to not be ok, but let's not stay there.

Christy Bio:
Hi. I’m Christy Brimm. I’m so glad you found me at Two Bridges. I grew up in the St. Louis Metro area but on the Illinois side. When I married and moved to Missouri with my husband, the bridge between our states seemed like a great divide. I felt equal parts excitement about what my future might hold and grief about what I was leaving behind. When we moved to St. Charles, it was yet another bridge for me to get back home. I’ve done a lot of work to integrate who I have always been with what life has taught me—making me who I am today.

I know that I wouldn’t be complete without embracing my past, and I need that part of my life to launch me into my future. My way of doing therapy is to focus on your story. Your identity is not locked into where you came from; it is also who you are becoming. In that quest there is joy and sorrow. Pain and beauty. Hurt and healing. Maybe some of those hurts require “two bridges” to restore.

I would be honored to walk with you through your past—the triumph and the regret—to help you realize a peaceful present and anticipate a hopeful future.

I currently live in St. Charles, MO, with my husband of 24 years, 3 teenagers, and a sweet dog named Blu. I find my “happy place” in a good cup of coffee, walks in nature, and belly laughs with friends and family. I value my faith as part of my wellbeing and am open to exploring yours with you as well.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your story. You can reach me directly at christy@twobridgescounseling.com or 636-896-5693.
