About this episode

Traci Mitchell discusses how to rewrite your life story and overcome the scarcity mindset prevalent in high-achievement spaces.

Traci Mitchell spent years in newsrooms covering the White House, Capitol Hill and anchoring in San Francisco. But the real story isn't the Emmy. It's what she discovered underneath the achievement. In this episode, Traci breaks down why most people are living a story they never chose and how to change it. She gets into the scarcity mindset that runs through high-achievement spaces, the power of sitting in silence and what her mother taught her about not letting other people's reality become your ceiling. Now a narrative coach and keynote speaker, Traci helps people stop being invisible and start designing the story they actually want to live. Her new book, Design Your Mindset, is the blueprint.
