In Episode 2, Out of Small Things Podcast with Vienna Richards explores 3 self-limiting thoughts and ideas that can make even the most optimistic people stop and give up on their goals and dreams. They are:

  1. Caring so much about the opinions of others, including people we've never met.
  2. Who-Do-You-Think-You-Are syndrome. Also known as the Imposter syndrome.
  3. Lacking confidence in our ability to achieve.

We look at the power of the mind and what we feed it. We also discuss the opportunities these thinking challenges provide to create a supportive, environment, network, community, and friendships that better support our minds, our hearts and our wellbeing. We look at the courage and lessons learned from the career of Scottish singer Susan Boyle. And a leaf from the life of American inventor and businessman Thomas Edison.

We end this episode with two book recommendations related to the power of the mind and the power of our thoughts. If you're wanting to dive deep into this topic and learn more about how to harness the power of the mind, these books will do just that.
