Ep.49 | WTF is “Mindset Work”? And How to Ethically Approach it in Life & Business with Emotional Intelligence Coach, Topsie VandenBosch

I can’t believe we packed so much juice (and laughter) into one episode, truly.

Topsie has this way of being able to balance the layered complexities of nuanced topics with light-heartedness, enthusiasm & cautiousness. She can laugh with you about all the wild shit happening, and then drip in mic-drop moments that blow your socks off, within the same sentence.

Topsie’s approach to chatting about mindset & emotional intelligence is unlike anything we’ve heard before. Honestly, even just her definitions for these things helped us have quite a few “ah-ha” moments throughout the episode.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do :)
