Hi friends,

Last week, we debunked the myth of “just have a growth mindset” and examined how mindset actually manifests in daily family life — those moments of high effort, critical feedback, and when someone else is in the spotlight. 

This week, in Part 2 of our Mindset Reset, we zoom out. Because mindset isn’t just personal — it’s cultural.

💡 Inspired by Mary Murphy’s Cultures of Growth, we asked: If the best companies thrive in cultures of growth, why can’t our families too?

Here’s what we unpacked:

  • How comparison, competition, and results-only thinking limit team cohesion.

  • Why normalizing mistakes and effort builds true confidence (for kids and adults).

  • How to redefine competition so it’s about team contribution, not individual accomplishments.

  • Better ways to talk about achievements that motivate without creating rivalry.

This episode is a reminder that as leaders of our home, we have an opportunity to set the mindset culture. And it isn’t about managing outcomes — it’s about shaping the environment where learning, curiosity, and courage can flourish. It has given us a lot to think about in terms of sibling competition and the way we highlight achievements in our family.  

⏱️ We also made a bite-sized reel with three key takeaways that you can watch in under 60 seconds. Check it out below or on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.
