How to keep smiling going through sh*t: Building Resilient Mindset to Win Big through Hardships

Angela Shurina Season 2025

TUNE IN TO LEARN:  

What separates those who achieve their goals from those who don't?  

It's not luck or resources—it's mindset.  

Let's dive deep into the psychology of achievement, revealing how to overcome many obstacles needed for your personal and business growth with great mental health feeling like a hero and having fun.  

The hard truth?  

You're not yet good enough for the dream you're pursuing—and that's exactly as it should be. Just as muscles don't develop by lifting lighter weights, your capacity for achievement doesn't expand by avoiding challenges. Every obstacle serves as the training ground where you develop the skills, resilience, and wisdom required for your next level. 

Let's together unpack powerful mindset frames used by successful entrepreneurs and top achievers in different fields. These are universal ways of thinking of people who despite hard stuff win BIG.  

The learning frame, the infinite game frame, the gains rather than gaps frame; the hero's journey frame, the evolution frame, the gratitude frame.  

Most fascinating is how these psychological shifts actually change your biology—stress either strengthens or weakens your body depending entirely on your perception of challenges.  

When you change your expectations into appreciation, the path to achievement—though still difficult—becomes infinitely more rewarding.
