In @Steve Webb 's 30daychallengers group, some of us are doing a side challenge and reading the book "The Scout Mindset". It's been an informative read and had me reflecting on approaches to integrating new/challenging information, challening beliefs, and just overall communication with others. Below I'll do a quick overview of the difference between solider and scout mindset. Curious about where everyone fits and what you all think about this. :) 🪖 𝕊𝕠𝕝𝕕𝕚𝕖𝕣 𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕤𝕖𝕥 The goal here is to defend-protecting our current beliefs like territory. Attributes of this mindset include arguing in order to win, looking for confirming evidence, can feel threatened by opposing views and doubling down when challenged. Think debates. The pros related to this type of mindset are: having strong convictions, there's a loyalty to values and people can be decisive under pressure. The cons to this mindset include having blindspots, having a hard time updating beliefs with new information, and can have the tendency to escalate conflict. 🧭 𝕊𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕤𝕖𝕥 The goal here is to see clearly. The point is to get a clear view of the map even if it challenges you. Integrating new information. Attributes of this mindset include being curious about opposing views, being on the search for disconfirming evidence, being comfortable with saying "i was wrong" or "I've updated my beliefs", and being able to adjust beliefs with new information. The pros related to this are that it contributes to more accurate (or updated) thinking, it's growth oriented and it can build trust because the other person feels heard. The cons are that it can feel destabilizing, it can contribute to slower decision making, and it can be perceived as less certain. --- Here's the thing...We all use both of these. The questions become "when" and "why".

This year marked 20 years of partnership with a company I aligned with around cleaner personal care and nutrition — and what stands out most isn’t the milestone. It’s the consistency. For two decades, my family has used the products daily. My kids grew up with them. Our nutrition and skincare are staples in our home — not because of trends, but because we made a decision about what we value. Here’s something I’ve observed: When you protect your health, your energy changes. When your energy changes, your decision-making improves. When your decisions improve, your results expand. Women who build sustainably don’t just manage time.They manage energy. And energy starts with the standards you’re willing to hold. What’s one area of your life where raising the standard would change everything?

This part is rarely talked about. As entrepreneurs grow: – responsibilities increase – pressure increases – identity shifts But food systems often stay stuck in an old version of self — one that had more time, less stress, and more margin. So what used to “work” stops working. And instead of adjusting the system, people blame themselves. Outgrowing old food rules doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your life has changed — and your approach needs to change with it. That’s not weakness. That’s evolution. Do you feel like the way you used to eat no longer fits who you are now?
