When you hit your 50s, you reach a point where you just don’t care what other people think. With so much life experience under your belt, you know what you want, you know who you are and you’re ready to show the world what you’ve got. 

I recently had the pleasure of sharing a raw and real conversation with Patrina Jones, a woman who personifies this essence. 

Patrina is a multi-award winning and highly accomplished journalist with a long and successful career in radio and television. Starring on top-rating shows for more than 30 years, Patrina is currently a leading personality and News Presenter on the No 1 Christian O’Connell Show on Melbourne’s Gold 104.3 and is a regular guest on Channel 9’s Today Extra. She won the coveted ‘Glenn Daniel’ Award, Best News Presenter FM in 2023 and has been nominated again this year.

As a woman in a male dominated industry, working ridiculous hours and weekends, Patrina gave her all to the industry because she truly loves what she does. It’s this passion that has fuelled her to keep going and find resilience through life’s challenges. 

One of the most striking moments in our discussion was about how menopause can affect women’s professional lives. Imagine working for decades honing your skills, climbing the corporate ladder, only to find yourself battling the symptoms of menopause with no support. Patrina shared that 25 percent of women going through menopause will actually leave their roles because the symptoms can be so challenging. 

What makes it even harder is the sheer volume of responsibilities we juggle—careers, family, friendships. “We’re told that we can have everything, aren’t we?” Patrina said. “But we’re bloody knackered.” It summed up the sentiment perfectly.

Towards the end of our conversation, Patrina shared her sage advice to not let anyone tell you who you are or what you can or cannot do. Stand in your power, be yourself and don’t worry what other people think.

Resilience and Real Talk: Patrina Jones on Thriving Through Life’s Challenges

For many of us, the beliefs we hold about ourselves and the world are so deep-set in our subconscious that we’re not even aware of them - or their limiting power over our lives.

They usually date back to our childhood, where our experiences taught us to think certain ways and act in accordance in order to survive. 

Too often, we carry these beliefs into adulthood and our ways of operating are often dictated by them. 

I had the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Rena Harvey, a renowned healer, speaker, teacher, reiki master practitioner, sound therapist, holistic counsellor and author of The Formula of Life: Go Deeper, Rise Higher. 

With her incredible insight on transforming limiting beliefs - gained from her personal 30-year journey of healing - we talked about the amazing potential we all have to heal our wounded child and set ourselves free. 

We dive into how limiting beliefs present, the process of reprogramming childhood wounding and the power of manifestation to create a new reality for our lives.

Talking with Rena was incredibly inspiring, and it reaffirmed the power we each hold to transform our worlds. Her message is clear: by understanding our wounds and dedicating ourselves to a life-long journey of healing, we can begin to truly take control and redefine what's possible in our lives.

Transforming Limiting Beliefs - Redefining What's Possible with Rena Harvey

As we leap into spring, my favourite season of the year, I want to talk to you about making empowered choices for your mindset. 

Spring is a magical time of growth, fresh starts, and new beginnings. It’s an ideal season to make some powerful decisions about how you show up in life, what you need to let go of, and how you want to carve your path forward. The choices we make now can set the tone for how we finish this year and start the next. So, how can we harness the energy of spring to empower our mindset?

An empowered choice is one made with intention and awareness. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive, taking control of your decisions, and by extension, your life. When we make empowered choices, we choose to live a life aligned with our values, goals, and the person we aspire to be.

The Connection Between Empowerment and Mindset

Our mindset is like a lens through which we view the world. It shapes how we interpret experiences, respond to challenges, and perceive opportunities. By making empowered choices, we choose the lens through which we see our reality. We can see challenges as opportunities for growth, setbacks as lessons, and every experience as a step closer to our goals.

Personally, I had to make empowered choices when I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma cancer. It wasn’t the ideal situation, and my initial misdiagnoses made things worse. I had the choice to fall into a victim mentality or to be a victor. I chose the latter. I decided that cancer wouldn’t define me and chose to lead myself through it with hope and resilience. This mindset allowed me to share my journey and help others facing similar battles.

Spring Cleaning for Your Mindset

Why spring? Spring is synonymous with renewal. Just as we clean our homes and get rid of clutter, it’s essential to clear out mental clutter: negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, and unproductive behaviours. Mental clutter can weigh us down, cloud our judgment, and keep us stuck. Spring is the perfect time to make space for new, empowering thoughts and beliefs.

Ask yourself, what thoughts are holding me back? What beliefs do I need to release? Maybe it’s the belief you’re not good enough. Acknowledge it and choose to let it go. Consciously choose a new narrative and plant the seeds of positivity.

Think of your mind as a garden. What will you plant today to ensure it flourishes in the future? One way to plant seeds of positivity is through gratitude. Start each day by acknowledging three things you’re grateful for. This shifts your focus from what’s lacking to what’s abundant.

Set intentions for what you want to achieve this spring. Who do you want to be? Write it down and revisit your goals regularly. Even a small empowered choice, like taking a 10-minute break to clear your mind when feeling overwhelmed, can have a significant impact on your mindset.

Meditation and mindful breathing, even just for a few minutes, can center your mindset and relieve stress. This spring, align your goals with the theme of renewal. Take this opportunity to learn something new, step outside your comfort zone, and embrace growth.

My challenge for you this week is to make one empowered choice that aligns with the person or leader you want to become. It doesn’t have to be big; start your day with a positive intention. Make that choice with intention and purpose and watch how it impacts your mindset.

Spring is the Time to Make Empowered Choices for Your Mindset

There are now five generations in the workforce. 

With that comes a broad set of values for leaders to navigate, and all at a time where the pace of complex change continues to increase.

So how do we most effectively grapple with the evolving dynamics of a multi-generational workforce?

I had the pleasure of discussing just this with Dr. Paige Williams, an organisational psychologist, keynote speaker and honorary fellow at the University of Melbourne. With a wealth of experience and a knack for asking the right questions, Paige is a world leader in positive psychology and author of six insightful books on leadership.

Her passion for systems and organisations, specifically in leadership, led her to become one of the small team that introduced the science of well being, positive psychology to Australia.

She now works alongside leaders and teams to help them find how to be exceptional in their work and create cultures that encourage others to do the same. 

Join us as we explore the fascinating psychology behind the unique worldview of Millennials and why it may differ to that of their Gen X and Gen Z counterparts.

Paige also takes us through practical strategies for engaging, leading and empowering Millennials to not only effectively navigate the generational divide, but to foster a thriving and dynamic workplace.
