Alisha Leytem: Hello everyone. Welcome back to the show. I’m your host Alisha and this is Unlock Your Well-Being. We have a social guest with us today. Her name is Mindy Duff. She is actually a fellow Iowa girl, she lives on the west side of Iowa. We were just chatting about before beginning to record this show, but Mindy is the host of her own podcast called Uplevel Your Life with Mindy.
She is a speaker, certified holistic and health nutrition coach, and published author. Her mission is to help individuals uncover their best selves, so they can live an authentic and soul led life. While Mindy loves speaking and inspiring people, she loves her husband and 3 kids even more. They live in north central Iowa. Welcome to the show Mindy!
Mindy Duff: Thank you! Thanks so much for having me.
Alisha Leytem: We were just talking before hoping to record and you told me that you also own a grocery store. A healthy grocery store over there. Tell us about that, I think that is so cool!
Mindy Duff: I co-own a grocery store. If you are in Iowa or go through Iowa and go through a clear lake it’s called Simply Nourished. We are kind of off the interstate, so it’s nice for people traveling through. It’s a specialty grocery store, it’s organic, Non-GMO, Gluten free, etc.
We just kind of try and cater to the needs of people who want to eat healthy and also the people who have to eat that way. It’s just a nice little side project I’ve got going on there.
Alisha Leytem: I think it’s so important that we have healthy options for people. It seems like you know a lot about that because you are a certified nutrition coach.
Mindy Duff: Yes. That was one of the reasons I got into it. We didn’t start this business, we purchased it. The woman that owned it either had to sell it or close it. I know nothing about owning a grocery store, but one of my very good friends already owns a grocery store.
I think the text I sent to her said something like “hey want to buy a grocery store with me?” She was like “sure.” So we just did it. She knows the business side of it and I know the health side of it. It’s been working pretty well for us.
Alisha Leytem: Do you also offer nutrition classes for people and education as well?
Mindy Duff: We have done one class. Getting into it obviously there were a lot more things to learn than expected like any new endeavor. We haven’t done a ton of education classes yet, but there will be more in the future now that we kind of have the ground under our feet a little bit and we know what we are doing.
Alisha Leytem: So you are also a published author. Tell me about your book.
Mindy Duff: I actually co-wrote a book. It’s a book for mothers, and it’s called The Motherhood Diary. It was in publication, then we pulled it for a short while because there were some editing things we were wanting to fix. It’s actually getting ready to be re-released very soon. I believe within the next couple of months here.
It’s just a book that is to help uplift and inspire others. It’s a form of support for other moms, and we share our own little stories of what it’s like being a mom. There’s a lot of different angles. There’s a lot about being a mom that nobody prepares you for, you have no idea. This book was really just designed to be a good support for moms, so they don’t feel so alone with the things you’re feeling and going through.
Alisha Leytem: I will have to pick that up myself. You have three kids. How old are they?
Mindy Duff: I do. I have an 8 year old, almost 11 year old, and 13 year old.
Alisha Leytem: I have a 2 year old, so I am still very sleepless nights. So the book you just tell advice and stories for moms?
Mindy Duff: Yes! Everyone has their own little story. My section is called “Pinterest Parenting.” It talks about comparing your parenting to others online. That does not always translate into the real world as well, so my life included. Far from pinterest.
Alisha Leytem: Totally. I feel like the easiest way to get into your own head is to just go on social media and see what everyone’s doing. Then you feel so behind because you think you should be doing those things, but really you just have to remember your own value system and what’s actually working with you. It’s so much easier to do it offline.
Mindy, how do you unlock your own well-being? I like to ask all of our guests the title of the show.
Mindy Duff: I think that is such a fun question. I’ve thought about this a little bit. For me personally, it’s been a lot of trial and error. We are always evolving and growing and I think that’s what we are meant to do as humans on earth.
If you’re not learning and growing, you're dying essentially. I think the more that you can know yourself, and understand how you operate, and then honoring that. I think that the honoring part takes it that one step further. Things you know about yourself, the more books you read, the more questions you ask yourself, the more you journal, all of those ways are to get to know yourself.
There’s not just one path to it. But then taking that second step and honoring that. For example, I know that I don’t feel great when I drink alcohol, so I don’t drink it very often. I don’t drink excessively at all anymore. I used to because that’s just what people did socially, not that I was a raging alcoholic or anything. I just feel better physically when I don’t drink it at all, so I don’t.
That’s an easy physical example, but there’s so many more examples that we can look at. I’m sure if everybody were to stop and think about it for one second, we would have to ask what makes us feel best? When do you feel your best, and are you doing that? I think just knowing things about yourself, and again honoring that is really that’s your path to greatness right there.
Alisha Leytem: I love that you take that a step further with honoring it. I hear this so often from my clients “I’m so self aware and I know myself.” Then they are not following through on like you say, honoring their own truth for those things. It’s so easy I find for life and everything to come first and get in the way of that. Especially as working moms, for example.
What’s your advice for people for how they can honor those things that they know make them feel really good? When they are going through a trying time, or there is more needed at the office or with their children.
Mindy Duff: Awareness is the first step. That’s the first of anything you want to change, you have to know what’s going on first. Let’s just take an obvious example that you can relate to. Say you want to eat healthier and you’re going to lose some weight. You’ve had these habits in the past of not eating healthy like eating ice cream after supper every night. You’ve kind of conditioned yourself to do that.
There may be days where you go and eat that ice cream anyways. You’ll watch yourself take it out and say “oh I wasn’t going to do this, but I’m doing it.” You’re going to watch yourself actively do the thing that you weren’t going to do. That is part of the process.
Especially, in trying times or if you have a really big goal, you’re going to watch yourself make the choices you’re trying to avoid. You’re going to make those mistakes, that’s part of the process. I think that to be aware that it’s a part of the process and to give yourself grace. To know that “I wish I wasn’t the person to be eating this whole pint of ice cream right now, but I did it, but I’m aware of it.”
Think back a few steps, before you had even made that decision to stop eating the ice cream. You were just kind of doing it. You are making progress. There are times in our life where things get in the way. Just do the best you can with what you’ve got. Know that as long as you’re aware, your will constantly be taking steps toward that goal. Without awareness at all, you’re not making any changes.
Alisha Leytem: I think one thing that is really vital to remember to have grace for yourself and have kindness. I speak and teach a lot about mindfulness. The most important part of practicing mindfulness is the present moment and bringing awareness to the present moment.
The second part to it it not judging it for what it is. Having grace for what it is. Not trying to wish it away or think it should be different. Which is really what you are saying to have grace and kindness for yourself in the journey.
Mindy Duff: I love that you are talking about mindfulness because it’s important with whatever your goal is. My background is in health and nutriotn, so I kind of relate back to that a bit, but there is so much power in the awareness and so much power in the grace like for yourself.
Alisha Leytem: It’s so much easier to give other people grace and kindness when they make mistakes, but it’s harder for us to do it for ourselves. How would you help yourself walk through that process?
Mindy Duff: We are humans on the earth, in my personal belief we are sould having a human experience. We are not to just be happy all the time. It’s not like we are meant to be in this constant state of bliss. All your emotions are there for a purpose, your emotions are your guidance system. Your emotions are there fo show you what you want more of and what you don’t want more of.
It’s not fun to sit in a situation and say “oh this sucks, I hate it”, you can feel that for a little bit and just notice how that feels. I think the holistic psychologists says, emotions if you don’t feed them will last 90 seconds long. If you sit there and say “I feel anger” then notice what does anger feel like in my body, where am I feeling it, this is what anger feels like.
You can’t feed it. You will then just spiral. You can sit there and realize you are feeling angry, this is what it feels like, and then if you get it a little bit and then you can start to see things from a different angle.
Then you are not so emotionally charged, then you can say that it’s showing me I am angry about this, what needs to change? What do I need to change? Our outer world are reflections of our inner world. Maybe there is something going on internally that you need to check on and examine. Asking that question, why?
It’s easier to have grace and compassion for other people rather than ourself. I think just understanding that’s part of the human experience. Our emotions are there to guide us and that’s just part of it.
Alisha Leytem: I completely agree with us being souls, having a human experience. One of my mentors, Gabby Bernstein, she says all the time that we're on planet Earth is earth school. The whole point of being here is for our souls to grow. You can't grow without learning and lessons and hard times, if you will. Seeing that and observing that and remembering that kind of like the observer. As the outsider looking in.
Instead of being so “in” the emotion helps you to recognize in like, I think have a little bit more grace for the situation and what it is you're experiencing. Because it's just like, all right, this is a, this is my lesson right now. I'm in classroom. It's just helping my soul to grow. I love that you brought that up.
So what do you think the world needs more of? So we can improve our overall wellbeing as a collective? Our, our wellbeing has gone down quite a bit in the last few years. I'd love to hear what you think we need more of to improve it.
Mindy Duff: It kind of goes back to that very first question you asked me about unlocking your own wellbeing. My response to that was knowing and understanding yourself. But then I think if the whole world just had more self-compassion more self-understanding, more self-acceptance I hate this term, but more self-love. I don't hate it, but I hate, the fact that it's thrown around a lot. Then I think people just kind of, oh yeah, self-love, whatever.
But really truly embodying that. Again, our inner world is a reflection of our outer world. Imagine every single person on the planet having complete grace and compassion for themself and love for themself, and messing up and telling themself, you know what? You messed up. We didn't like that. That's okay. I still love you. We're gonna make different choices in the future.
Every single person on the planet. What would the world be like? Would we have conflicts between countries? Would we have, all this violence and et cetera? I, I have a hard time thinking that we would. If every single person feels whole and complete and loves themself, why would you need to go steal from your neighbor? Why would you need to do, all these other things that people do in attempt to fill a void? You wouldn't have a void to fill. So, is this kind of Pollyanna thinking? Yeah, absolutely, it totally is, but I don't care. I think that's, that's what the world would need for complete wellbeing of everyone is, for everyone to just truly, deeply love themself and have compassion for themself.
Alisha Leytem: Yes. We think a lot alike. One of my favorite quotes is by Rumi and he said “Yesterday I was clever and I wanted to change the world, and today I am wise, so I'm changing myself.”
It just embodies what you're saying. I say that quite often as well. If people heal themselves and really found that self-lov, confidence, and contentment with themselves within, they wouldn't need to try to change or hurt or do anything outside of them because they don't have to fix anything on the inside. Because like you keep saying, your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.
Mindy Duff: Yes. That's it. Nailed that there. We just solved all the world's problems!
Alisha Leytem: That's it, that's all we need to do.
Mindy Duff: Oh, that's all anyone needs to know is just that right there.
Alisha Leytem: So I actually have this question prepared, but I think it goes really beautifully with what you're already talking about, because you mentioned a few time “mistakes.” So what would you say is your most important mistake that you've made in your own life and what did you learn from it?
Mindy Duff: Boy, I've made so many mistakes. I don't think I can nail it down to like, oh, January 27th, 1993. I mean, if you go back and look at January 27th, 1993 and see some of my hair and wardrobe choices, those are some mistakes. I think on the, the grander scale I would just say I could sum all of them up by not being authentic to myself. Every time I made a choice or did something because I was trying to fit in, trying to impress somebody doing something, because it's what society kind of had conditioned me to think I needed to do. Whether it was growing up, especially you think at like teen years, like about a 13 year old, I can see it happen, that junior high is just full of comparison and trying to fit in.
That's developmentally, they're, they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. But, man you just wanna like grab all those kids and be like, this isn't who you are. You know, be true to yourself. It's gonna be so much better if we all just honor who we are on the inside.
I mean, I'm almost 43 years old and I'm still, you know, not always being authentic to myself because it's a learning process. I look at my business and some things that I've done in my business because I was trying to fit in a mold or trying to, force something to work because that's just what I thought it should be. But I wasn't being authentic to myself and who I wanted to be helping and what I wanted to be doing.
So, it's never ending. But again, the awareness is key. So all my mistakes really have come from not listening to my own inner being and using my head and my logic more than listening to my heart. All of my mistakes are stem from that for sure.
Alisha Leytem: I really love at the end about the mistakes stem from trying to follow your head and not your heart. Because we can overthink and think our way into what we think we should be doing or what it would look nice on, on paper or what we think other people would accept us for, more or less if we do what we think that thing should or could be.
Then you follow it and maybe you hit it and you still don't feel a certain way or you don't, and you realize on the way that that's not who you are. I actually just had that conversation with someone the other day. He he's been trying to change his habit and like he really wants to break this one habit so that he can be this kind of person.
And he's been trying to do this for years, but he's not kind of stepping into that. I'm like, well maybe that's just not who you are. You think that this person is who you think looks good in the outside, but maybe you could set that down and just honor who you are now and stop judging who you are right now. Even just like having that conversation, he felt like that weight of pressure release.
I think we can put so much pressure on ourselves to become or do a certain thing in our careers or in our businesses. if I hit and when I reach this goal, then I will, be enough or I'll be worthy. I will have proven myself in some way. And back, you know, to your point, remembering your heart and, and living your authentic truth is where you'll have that true fulfillment that you're seeking.
Mindy Duff: I know that sometimes we have these goals and goals are great, and I a hundred percent encourage everybody to have goals and to continue growing. Then it's almost this, this balance that you have to have with, boy, wouldn't it be fun to achieve this goal and to work towards this keyword there being fun, but also honoring the, well, I don't need to do that because I'm whole and complete who I am and how I am right now. But it just sounds fun to try and start up a podcast. It just sounds fun to learn how to kayak. It just sounds fun. Like that's where you should be spending your energy learning and growing. Not because you think that, oh, well if I lose 25 pounds, my life's gonna be better.
Or once I start making another, you know, 50 grand a year, then, I'll have reached this place, this top of this mountain where I can relax and oh, I've made it. Okay. Whew. That was a struggle., but here I am. That's not how it works. You need to follow, your joy because then the path is fun and the outcome won't matter. Then you can still honor the fact that I don't really need to do that to become a whole incomplete person. I'm fine how I am just now. Even if, I'd be healthier if I lost 50 pounds, but I'm still me. I'm still gonna be the same me when I lose 50 pounds. I'm just as whole and good now as I will be then.
Alisha Leytem: I think the irony of it is when you do live from that place of I'm whole on complete now, I don't need that, then that thing actually comes to you. That's when it happens. Because you're not pushing it away. You're not resisting it. You're not holding on so tightly to the outcome of it. You're enjoying the, the journey and the process of it, which is really the, the whole point of it.
Mindy Duff: I have a notebook in front of me just randomly open on this random page for no reason other than probably I'm meant to share this little thing. It says release the resistance. I don't know where I heard that from. Somebody said it. And I just like doodled it, like release the resistance and that's all of us. If you have resistance to release, don't feel like, oh man, and I have to really, no, no. It's part of being human and you're fine and whole and complete if you don't release the resistance and you're fine and whole and complete if you do.
Alisha Leytem: I've revisited some of my favorite quotes recently too. And one is what resist persists. Which goes along release the resistance. So, maybe whoever's listening is just not able to let something go and just continues to resist it. And the more like you push something away or resist, what is, it's going to become bigger. Be further away from you. So I love that. Need to hear that today. Clearly. Awesome. What would you say is the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Mindy Duff: The best piece of advice I've ever received is just this I'll call it a mantra that things are always working out for me. I even took a bracelet on Etsy. I found one the where you could like stamp in like words. I mean, I didn't do it. Some chick on Etsy did. It's great. And it says “things are always working out for me”, so that whenever I wear and it's like clanking around on my wrist, then it's just kind of that, auditory reminder.
I think that it's my favorite because one, it helps me when I'm just on a regular day, having just regular things happen. It helps me not to get too sucked into negativity so that I can remember, hey, things are always working out for me
Then in those moments where things don't feel like they're working out for me, and I have a lot of those moments too then it's just that reminder that, you know what? I don't see the whole big picture here. There might be a reason why I didn't get that opportunity I was hoping for, because maybe that would've been like a horrible fit or whatever. Maybe, that client that I was hoping would work with me said, no thanks. Well, maybe I dodged a bullet there.
You know what I mean? There's things that you don't see even though you're thinking, oh, I want that. Oh, I didn't get it. This sucks. Why doesn't things, why don't things work out for me? No. Things are always working out for you. You just can't always see the whole big picture.
Hindsight's 2020, if you can look back on your life, there's probably plenty of times where you can go, oh, remember when I wanted that and I didn't get it, but then I got this instead, and it was way better than anything I could have, ever dreamed of. It's my very, very favorite piece of advice. It's a mantra. I try to repeat it to myself daily. Sometimes, you know, I sit there and mutter under my breath when things are not going to plan.
Alisha Leytem: I was actually just repeating that to myself this morning. Do you listen to Abraham Hicks?
Mindy Duff: I do.
Alisha Leytem: Okay. Yep. I figured she's the queen of that, right?
Mindy Duff: Yes.
Alisha Leytem: If our listeners have not heard of Abraham Hicks before, highly encourage you to go to YouTube type in Abraham Hicks, and you will find a million audios of her just riffing. Yes. And a lot of 'em are, they just raise you a vibration. Alot of what she says is, things are always working out for me. Things are always working out for me. It's true.
I like that you use the example of thinking and remembering about the past of when something didn't work out. Nine times outta 10 in the present moment, you can think, well, thank God. I'm so glad I wasn't doing that or that didn't work out for me. It's like you just said, it's so much easier than in the moment, in the present moment when things quote unquote aren't to step back in the big picture of like, okay, actually it's just so something better. Because, it's always worked out in that way for me. I need to remember that in this moment right now too.
Mindy Duff: I think it even sometimes can help shift your own vibration a little bit and, and maybe, even alter an outcome. Maybe. I don't know. You tell me. So here's a short little story. I turned right on a red light crossing a railroad track, and there was a big giant sign that said no, right on red. And whoops, the daisy, I did it anyway. It's not the town I live in, but it's a town I grew up next to, and I've been here a hundred thousand times. I mean, I'm literally looking right at the sign, turned right on red anyway, for reasons unknown. And lo and behold, there's a police officer parked behind. I mean, he's at the light behind me. He's right behind me. He can't not pull me over.
So immediately of course, he pulls me over, and so I see his lights and I was like, oh my God. My first reaction, your heart sinks to your stomach and you're like, oh my God. Then I'm thinking, okay, things are always working out for me. Things are always working out for me. Things are always working out for me because I don't want a ticket. Like nobody wants to pay for a ticket. So I just kept saying it over and over again. And , I believed it, so I didn't know what was gonna happen, but I was just like, things are always gonna work. Things are always working out for me.
And I pull over to this gas station and this police officer gets out and he's like laughing at me. So I rolled down the window and he looks at me, he's laughing, and I'm like, I'm not supposed to turn right there, am I?
He's like, Nope. And so he is like, but you know, just don't do it again. Pay attention, please. It's like, okay. And so no ticket, it was just like, he got a chuckle out of the fact that someone would be that stupid. I mean, I was stopped at the light for a while and then just decided to go for it. I don't know why. But yeah, things are always working out for me. Didn't get a ticket. Got a happy cop on a good day. So you never know.
Alisha Leytem: Or did you manifest that. Him being in a good mood because working out for you.
Mindy Duff: That's right. We'll never know
Alisha Leytem: That's a, that's a great story. It's like you choosing your vibration and then the world kind of matches that around you. So what would've happened if you were breaking out and crying? He probably would have ended up giving you a ticket. What is your typical morning routine like?
Mindy Duff: I am a certified holistic health and nutrition coach, and I feel like the answer I'm supposed to give you is while I get up at like an hour before everybody else, when the house is still quiet and I do my journaling and my meditation; I don't do any of that. I you do those things that's amazing. But here's where I'm gonna go back to this. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but it's important.
Know yourself and honor yourself. So I love the idea of routines and some routines I do follow and need. But I don't do routines. I just don't, it is not in my person. I don't know if you're familiar with human design at all. There's something in my human design that even like says, yeah, you don't do routines, do you? Nope, I don't
I mean, I like the idea, but I just don't. So I really don't have a morning routine, aside from the fact that after I take my shower in the morning, I take an insanely long time to get ready. I always use that time to listen to audio books. Audible's fantastic. Or like, I'll get on YouTube and listen to Abraham Hicks or something. When I listen to audio books, it's, I'm addicted to personal growth. So it's always something that I'm trying to learn, something that I'm interested in. That's part of my morning routine.
But aside from that, I don't. If you're somebody that has been like, trying to fit yourself into a morning routine and you can never stick with it solidarity, like, I'm right here with you sister, because it's not for everybody. And that's okay.
Alisha Leytem: Amen. You know, pre motherhood, I definitely had more of a routine and because I had the time but now I do not. And so that all goes out the window. I've just found ways to incorporate my rituals into my routine. Listening to an audiobook while I'm getting ready or having in the background while I'm making breakfast something like that. But what are you currently listening to on Audible?
Mindy Duff: I just finished a book called The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. T. Harv Ecker is his name. I never remember book titles. This is amazing that I remembered it. So it must be important., I listened to it, it was recommended to me by somebody and I was like, ah, I don't know about all these, like become a millionaire overnight books
As I'm listening to him, I'm like, oh man, this dude gets it. So we, we know that our your thoughts create your beliefs, create your thoughts, create your actions, create your results. So he takes it a step further and talks about your blueprint. It's your conditioning as a child.
What did you kind of already decide about the world as a child? So in terms of money, because the book is about money, but it's applicable to any area of your life. Let's say you just decided, we're a family that must not have very much money. That might not even have been true. It just was your childhood interpretation of it. So now you've kind of predetermined, preset yourself that, well I'm a person that just doesn't have very much money.
So you can go through your life and do all the things and you're just, no matter what, you're not gonna have very much money because it's in your blueprint and it's changeable, et cetera. It was actually a really good book. It's really been fascinating for me. It’s more than just this, can't just do these strategies or try these business tactics or whatever. It's internal. And that's what he was all about.
Alisha Leytem: I love listening to Money Mindset books as well. One of my mentors Women years ago, her name is Amanda Francis. She has a book called Rich as Fuck. I really like that one on Audible. Sshe talks about the same thing, but she says to identify every single money belief or experience that happened to you as a child, and then forgive each one.
Then you clear the space. Literally every single one you have to go through each, every single one. I remember one time I, I found like a dollar and I put it in my piggy bank and my parents are like, well that's not very much. That's like a memory that sticks with you is like, well, I don't make very much cause of that. And so that's the belief, right? That becomes your blueprint, like you just said. So uncovering that or forgiving that and releasing that clears the space of the past to then now you can work on new beliefs and, and mindset around it because you cleared the space for the past to do it.
Mindy Duff: I love that all those things, even though every Good Money mindset book that I've ever listened to or read has been applicable to any area of your life. It's not just about the money, but I mean, that's where you have the issue then go for that book. But you can learn so much about your entire life from, from a lot of these books.
Alisha Leytem: Yes. I mean, the process is really just the same.
Mindy Duff: Just, just different subject.
Alisha Leytem: Just place the subject with whatever you want. Well, since you don't typically do routines, you probably have the same answer for what your evening routine is.
Mindy Duff: Yeah. My, my evening routine is not, I have three kids and, they're getting older, but you still have to chase 'em around and get 'em into bed and whatever. I don't know, we're busy and on the go. So I feel like my schedule is so different every day that I don't have a set routine.
Other than I do like my bathroom get ready for bedtime. That is my kind of decompression time. Just like I'm in here, by myself, I have the fan on like for the white noise, I can't hear anybody. Then I'm set and ready for bed. But aside from that, yeah, I don't have a, a consistent routine. And again, for people that do, that's great. If you can fit it in there. There's a lot of benefits to be had, but I just, it's not my bag.
Alisha Leytem: Go with the flow more.
Mindy Duff: That's it.
Alisha Leytem: Ask you what is your human design, because you said that it's not in your design. What is it?
Mindy Duff: So I'm a generator, but I'm almost a reflector. So if you know human design a reflector would have all open centers and I only have two that are closed, I believe. I only have one channel. It's really like almost nothing going on. If I'm on Instagram and you see these posts like here's career paths for reflectors or career paths for whatever they are. I always have to read both of them. They always apply like the generator. I'm like, yep, that's me. And then I'll read the, the reflector and be like, yep, that's me too. Because I'm so close to it. And then I'll read the other ones. I'm like, yeah, that's not me for sure.
Alisha Leytem: I'm a generator as well. I think it isn't it like 70% of people are generators.
