? Have you ever woken up feeling like you want to be a better person? Hosted by personal development coach Rob Dial, The Mindset Mentor tackles all things motivation, communication, direction, and self-development. If any of that sounds like something your anxiety has been chipping away at, then you’re exactly the sort of person Dial wants on his wavelength.
Having kicked off in 2015 and still going strong 10 years later, the podcast — with its library of over 1.7k episodes — covers a slew of personal development topics, from navigating painful experiences all the way to best practices when it comes to communicating with your kids.
Who amongst us hasn’t experienced crippling anxiety before? In one particularly resonant episode, Dial gets up-close and personal, sharing a time when his anxiety was so bad that sleep was entirely off the table. Dial dedicated the episode to discussing anxiety attacks that individuals who do not necessarily suffer from diagnosed psychiatric disorders may experience from time to time — and how to metaphorically and literally breathe through them. Throughout the runtime of the episode, the “mindset mentor” highlights the importance of being in tune with your own thoughts, and how leaning on our loved ones can prove fruitful. For the more reserved amongst us, Dial suggests journaling and notes its cathartic impact, noting its pivotal role in assuaging our anxieties.
Dial knows how to get your attention. The host is poised, self-assured, and is able to swiftly convey complex topics throughout each episode's 15-20 minute runtime. Each episode of The Mindset Mentor essentially serves as an on-the-go capsule that quickly resonates with the listener. While the podcast is categorized under self-help — a genre that has time and time again found itself victim to accusations of being cliché — Dial makes sure every piece of advice he proposes is actionable and rids itself of the fluff that has become synonymous with the genre, making it worth your time.
