In this episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany Francey reflect on the increasing divisiveness shaping today’s world. Sparked by the death of Charlie Kirk, the conversation expands beyond the event itself into a broader exploration of perception, polarity, and personal growth in uncertain times.

Patrick and Steffany highlight how we may share the same planet yet live in completely different worlds shaped by our beliefs, perspectives, and echo chambers. They discuss the danger of silencing voices, the rise of misinformation, and the loss of healthy debate in a culture that often prioritizes outr...

Many people sign up for coaching programs, feel an initial burst of motivation, and then quickly lose momentum. Patrick and Steffany explore why that happens. The problem is not always the strategy or the “how to.” The real challenge lies much deeper—in our identity, values, and hidden beliefs. Using a fru...

In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into one of life’s greatest paradoxes: our search for certainty in an uncertain world.

In this special milestone episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany celebrate their 200th conversation — four years of showing up every week to explore the thoughts that shape our lives.

In this deeply reflective episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive headfirst into a challenging question: Does the world punish honesty? Drawing inspiration from a powerful quote often attributed to George Orwell, “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it,” they open up an unfiltered conversation about the rising tension between truth, conformity, and individual values in today’s world.

Together, they explore how societal narratives, government systems, and cultural pressures can create emotional suppression, internal conflict, and even physical dis-ease. Patrick frames the discussion through the lens of M...

In this insightful and emotionally honest episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore one of their core philosophies: clarity equals velocity. Through personal anecdotes, relationship dynamics, and mental performance coaching principles, they unpack what clarity really means and why it is often more layered and elusive than we realize.

They begin by acknowledging that many people aren't even clear that they lack clarity. Like cleaning a house and discovering hidden dust in the corners, gaining clarity requires digging deeper and peeling back layers of beliefs, assumptions, and emotional resistance. Awareness is only the first step. Action mu...

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into a concept they call The Michelangelo Effect. Inspired by the legendary sculptor who claimed to “see the angel in the marble and carve until he set him free,” they explore how personal transformation is not about adding more to our lives, but about removing what no longer serves us.

Too often, we get caught up in the pursuit of “more” — more doing, more goals, more identities. But what if the real journey is about subtracting the noise, outdated beliefs, and false identities we've picked...

In this energizing throwback Thursday episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Olympic mental performance coach Steffany Hanlen dive deep into a topic that quietly drains our potential: energy leaks. These subtle, often unnoticed drains on our mental, emotional, and physical energy can have a major impact on focus, creativity, and overall well-being.

Patrick and Steffany begin by exploring how energy leaks often show up in the form of procrastination, clutter, incomplete tasks, and emotional baggage. From unfiled paperwork to unsaid conversations, these seemingly small “incompletions” clutter the mind and zap energy. Whether it’s avoiding a tough email...

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany introduce and unpack a transformative approach they call “MindShui” – a method inspired by Feng Shui, but designed for the mind. Rather than just focusing on mindset, which Patrick explains has become an overused term, MindShui is about intentionally decluttering your thoughts, uncovering hidden beliefs, and aligning your inner world to create clarity and momentum in life.

Steffany flips the script by putting Patrick in the hot seat, asking him to share the origin and evolution of MindShui. He explains how it emerged from years of coaching, leadership, and persona...

In this powerful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany unpack a foundational truth: true health, authentic freedom, and purposeful living all begin within.

The conversation starts with a compelling insight: “You don’t need to find your purpose—you need to clear the noise so it can find you.” Clarity, they argue, isn’t about trying harder—it’s about removing what’s in the way. Drawing from personal experience and coaching conversations, Patrick and Steffany explore how hidden beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’m not worthy” silently shape our behaviours, decisions, and ultimately, our sense of self-worth...

Small Shifts, Big Change – Mindset Matters Podcast Ep. 191

In this episode, hosts Patrick and Steffany unpack the power of Kaizen—the Japanese philosophy of continuous, incremental improvement—showing how “small shifts create big changes.” Framed by Patrick’s concept of “Mind Shui” (feng shui for the mind) and Steffany’s 25-year “Quantum Speed” training method, they demonstrate that the tiniest tweak in perception or technique can re-route our entire trajectory, whether in athletics, business, parenting, or personal growth.

Key talking points

In this Father’s Day-adjacent episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany tackle a provocative parenting truth: even with the best intentions, we inevitably program our children with the same hidden beliefs we spend adulthood trying to break. Drawing on decades of coaching thousands of young athletes and entrepreneurs, they explore how over-protection, “helicopter” habits and constant rescuing can stunt a child’s resilience, self-worth and ability to navigate adversity.

If you’ve ever found yourself replaying past traumas or fast-forwarding into anxious worst-case scenarios, this conversation will recalibrate your focus to right now—where clarity, creativity, and momentum truly live.

After 20 successful years in the pension and individual financial planning industry Darren Mitchell started to realize the typical financial planning strategies most people were following were not working. The result of these findings was a 3-year education crusade. Darren realized all the financial education he received as an advisor came from Wall Street/Bay Street, banks, and insurance companies and it was all biased in their favour – not his clients. He started paying (a lot) for his non-biased education and traveled almost monthly throughout North America to learn from the top financial minds in the world.

These to...

In this weeks’ episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey shine a light on the hidden reality that meaningful personal development can feel isolating. Patrick opens with the metaphor that life is a book and authentic growth means “turning the next page” even when no one else is ready to read along. That in-between space—where old identities no longer fit and new community hasn’t formed—is what they call the “lonely chapter.”

The pair unpack why identity shifts demand more than cosmetic change. Real transformation is an “operating-system upgrade” that can draw judgment from friends or fami...

In this compelling episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore a powerful concept: the Region Beta Paradox—a psychological phenomenon that explains why we often stay stuck in mediocre situations simply because they’re “not that bad.” Whether it’s an unfulfilling job, a stagnant relationship, or a comfort zone that’s become a cage, the paradox reveals how moderate discomfort can be more dangerous than real adversity—because it fails to trigger change.

Patrick shares personal stories, including his own “entrepreneurial accident” in the 1980s, which forced him out of complacency and into a path of purpose and growth...

In this powerful and relatable episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the true nature of confidence through the lens of a compelling parable about a young boy named Eli who builds a bridge—despite the doubts of others and his own inexperience. The story becomes the foundation for a meaningful discussion about self-trust, belief, and the myth that confidence is something we have to feel before we take action.

They break down confidence into three key types: self-confidence, social confidence, and confidence in others. What emerges is a game-changing insight—confidence isn’t something you wait f...

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the internal prison so many of us live in: the fear of other people’s opinions. They explore how this mindset quietly limits our decisions, confidence, and potential, and they challenge listeners to reflect on the emotional and mental cost of constantly seeking validation.

At the heart of the discussion is the powerful quote: “You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people’s opinions.” Patrick expands on this, pointing out that the real prison isn’t other...

In this insightful and down-to-earth episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the concept of grounding—what it truly means, why it’s essential, and how to consciously apply it in everyday situations. Whether you're stepping onto a stage, heading into a difficult conversation, or simply feeling emotionally overwhelmed, grounding can be the missing link to clarity, confidence, and calm.

Patrick opens by reflecting on the electrical principle of grounding as a metaphor for emotional and energetic stability. Just like a home needs a ground wire to safely direct energy, we too need grounding to man...

In episode 183 of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive into a powerful and eye-opening conversation about the unconscious beliefs that hold people back from living their most authentic, empowered lives. Drawing from Patrick’s recent presentation with Alfonso Cuadra at a real estate and personal development event, they explore “The 11 Hidden Beliefs That Keep You Stuck.” These deep-seated narratives often operate silently in the background of our minds, shaping our behaviours, decisions, and self-worth without us even realizing it.

Patrick begins by unpacking the first few limiting beliefs—“I’m not enough,” “I’m not worthy,” and “I’m not loved”—explaini...

In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany Francey dive deep into the metaphor of “the banana” — the limiting beliefs, old identities, emotional baggage, and outdated stories we cling to that keep us stuck and prevent growth.

Using the story of how hunters trap monkeys with bananas, Patrick explores how our grip on the past, much like the monkey’s grip on the fruit, often becomes our own trap. Whether it’s a past trauma, a title or role we once held, or a belief that we’re not enough, these “bananas” shape our decisions and hold us back fr...

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany Francey dive into a universal and often unconscious belief that holds so many people back: “I’m not enough.” Whether it’s not smart enough, not successful enough, not attractive enough, or just not worthy, this pervasive inner dialogue can quietly sabotage your confidence, relationships, and personal growth.

Together, they unpack the emotional and psychological patterns that keep us stuck in safe, familiar spaces—at the cost of real growth and personal fulfillment.

In Episode 177 of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany Francey continue their deep dive into ego—expanding on insights from Episode 176. Far from being the enemy, ego is a fundamental part of our identity. The key is learning how to master it rather than let it control us.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Ego vs. Self-Esteem: Ego craves external validation, while self-esteem is rooted in truth and self-awareness. When ego is unchecked, it fuels defensiveness, comparison, and resistance to change.

✅ Ego in Business: Many entrepreneurs and leaders struggle to delegate because their ego convinces them that asking for help equal...
