MindShift Mastery · An Eight-Week Mental Fitness Pod

You are not your patterns.

Eight weeks. A small group. Two coaches. One real shift in how your mind talks to you.

Next pod begins Monday, September 14

I am an avoider. I have a pattern. Patterns can change.

People say it like it's a fact. I am a pleaser. I am an avoider. I'm too much.

None of that is who you are. It's a patterned way of behaving that your brain decided, a long time ago, was the safest way to be loved, approved of, and protected from chaos. The pattern worked once. Then it took over. And the tricky part is that these patterns lie for their own existence. They convince you they are you.

There's a name for these patterns: saboteurs. Everyone has them. The judge, the pleaser, the avoider, the hyper-achiever, the hypervigilant one, the restless one, the victim, the controller. You have a lineup. So do we.

MindShift Mastery teaches you to see yours, catch them in the act, and quiet them. Not with willpower. With a different part of your brain entirely. And here's the good news from inside the work: noticing is 99 percent of it. Once you see the pattern, you get a choice you never had before.

How the eight weeks work

Built on Positive Intelligence, the mental fitness research of Shirzad Chamine, and shaped by two coaches with decades of practice each.

A live pod, once a week

A small group on Zoom, one hour a week for eight weeks. You share what you caught your saboteurs doing. You hear what everyone else caught. That's where the real learning happens. People have joined from living rooms, RVs, and at least one truck stop in the California desert. It works anywhere.

Daily practice between sessions

Short video modules and an app guide you through the week. A few minutes of mental fitness reps a day, the same way you'd build any muscle. Small, consistent, and surprisingly powerful.

First you see the patterns

The early weeks go into the muck on purpose. You identify your saboteur lineup, learn how each one hijacks you, and start catching them in real time. People who've done the program say this part is what makes everything after it possible.

Then you build the sage powers

Empathy. Curiosity. Innovation. Navigation. Clear-headed action. The five sage powers are how you respond to life instead of reacting to it. And because we've each spent a lifetime in this work, we teach a few powers of our own that you won't find in the standard program.

Two coaches, not one

Most mental fitness pods are led by a single coach. This one has two, with very different gifts, who genuinely love teaching together. You get both perspectives on everything you bring.

A practice you can start today

The childhood photo

Little Ricky

Find a photo of yourself as a young child. Really look at it. That kid had qualities before the world taught them to hide: playfulness, curiosity, a love without conditions. Those qualities didn't go anywhere. They're still in you.

Now make that photo the lock screen on your phone.

Here's why it works. That child is inside you all the time, and they hear every harsh word you say to yourself. Most of us would never talk to a child the way we talk to ourselves. Once you see that little face fifty times a day, you can't keep doing it. The negative self-talk cleans itself up.

That's little Ricky in the corner, missing his front teeth. He has lived on Rick's phone for years, and he's the reason Rick stopped talking to himself in ways he'd never talk to a child. This is one small taste of how the work feels. Practical. Gentle. And it changes things fast.

Is this your kind of work?

This is for you if

You keep having the same argument, the same spiral, the same 2am self-criticism, and you're done treating it as personality. You want tools, not theory. You like the idea of doing this alongside a few other honest humans instead of alone with a book.

This is not for you if

You're looking for a passive course to watch someday. The pod works because you show up, run the daily reps, and tell the truth about your week. It's a modest commitment. It's also the whole point.

Your two coaches

Different backgrounds, different energies, one shared belief: you cannot hate yourself into a better life. Everything thrives with love, including change.

Sedona, ArizonaRick Reynolds

Certified clinical hypnotherapist and transformational coach with more than twenty years of guiding people from fear to freedom. Rick leads the meditations. Students keep asking him to record them so they can fall into that voice whenever they want.

Denver, ColoradoTheresa Byrne

TEDx speaker, martial arts black belt, and mental fitness expert who teaches self-acceptance the honest way: start with self-like, build from there. Her talk on the inner bully explains what self-criticism does to your body chemistry. Her teaching shows you the way out.

What graduates keep telling us

The same surprising thing, pod after pod.

The change didn't take willpower. They stopped fighting themselves, started noticing, and the old patterns began falling away on their own. One graduate put it this way: the negativity she used to swim in every day simply stopped tasting good.

What that looks like in ordinary life: staying calm in the conversations that used to spike you. Procrastination loosening its grip on everyday things, so the broken stuff gets fixed and the boxes get returned. Moods that are finally your own instead of borrowed from whoever is standing nearby. Not because anyone gritted their teeth. Because they could finally see the pattern coming.

Our last pod's final call ran long because nobody wanted to log off. They left planning a reunion.

Join the September 14 pod

The next pod begins Monday, September 14, and meets live each Monday for eight weeks at 4pm Pacific, 5pm Mountain, 6pm Central, 7pm Eastern. Pods stay small on purpose, about six people, so everyone is known by name and everyone gets the room's attention. When the seats are filled, enrollment closes until the next round.

The saboteurs will still show up. They always do. The difference is that in eight weeks, you'll see them coming. And seeing them is 99 percent of the work.

What comes after

Eight weeks changes
what you notice.
Twenty weeks changes
what you do.

MindShift Mastery teaches you to catch the saboteurs. People finish it seeing patterns they had lived inside for decades, and they usually want to keep going.

TranceBreakers is the long version. Twenty weeks with Rick on listening, questions, reframing, emotion, core beliefs, purpose, the body, relationships and grief. It begins in January, once MindShift is behind you.
