Is Your Mind Working for You or Against You? A Conversation | Clare Dimond
with Clare Dimond
About This Episode
Is your mind working for you or against you? In this insightful conversation, Barb Patterson and Clare Dimond explore how our thoughts shape the way we experience business, leadership, and creativity. Clare shares how years of self-consciousness and overanalyzing kept her stuck in mental loops—until she saw the mind in an entirely new way.
In this episode, we dive into:
✅ The difference between real-world challenges and imagined problems
✅ Why self-consciousness limits our potential—and what happens when we move beyond it
✅ The role of curiosity in navigating uncertainty and decision-making
✅ How identity and fear shape our actions (and how to work with them differently)
✅ What a clear, engaged mind looks like in business and life
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by overthinking, self-doubt, or the pressure to get things right, this episode offers a fresh and freeing perspective.
