In this episode of Women Leading Boldly, host Karen Gombault welcomes Mindi Huebner, a mindset and identity expert who helps high-achieving women break free from outdated identities and redefine success on their own terms.

They dive deep into the power of identity, subconscious beliefs, and how shifting your mindset can unlock your fullest potential—personally and professionally.

5 Key Takeaways

1. We Cannot Outperform Our Subconscious Identity: Many high achievers unknowingly operate under an identity shaped by subconscious beliefs—such as equating worth with achievement. Recognizing and aligning with an identity that truly serves you is the key to authentic success.

2. Signs of Identity Misalignment Show Up as Self-Sabotage: Common symptoms of misalignment include overthinking, overworking, perfectionism, and self-criticism. If you find yourself saying, “I want this, but I keep going in circles,” you’re likely stuck in an outdated identity.

3. Identity is Not a Fixed Label—It Can Be Expanded: Many women define themselves by rigid labels (e.g., "I am a runner" or "I am a hot mess"), but true identity work involves expanding rather than restricting who you are. Shifting from "I am X" to "I am becoming X" allows for more growth and adaptability.

4. Taking Small Aligned Actions Builds Identity Shifts: You don’t need to wait for a mindset shift before acting—sometimes, action creates the mindset. Instead of saying, “I am a seven-figure entrepreneur,” start with, “I am building the habits of a seven-figure entrepreneur” and evolve from there.

5. Reframing Your Language Changes Your Reality: Simple shifts in language rewire the brain. Instead of saying, "I should have done this," replace it with:

"From now on…"

"Next time…"

"In the future…"

This small tweak moves you from guilt to empowerment.

"You are always winning the game you're playing. If you call yourself a hot mess every day, you will keep proving yourself right. Shift the game, shift the identity, and your success will follow." – Mindi Huebner

Identity work is about shedding what no longer serves you, not becoming someone you’re not. Mindi and Karen explore how shifting your mindset and subconscious beliefs can unlock confidence, ease, and joy—without the burnout. Whether you're stepping into leadership, making a career pivot, or redefining personal success, this work is essential for sustainable growth.
