Positive Possibilities - Joan Lacey Mindset Coach

Journalling, Scripting & Free Flow Writing

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 21:02:35 GMT

Have you ever felt like your mind is so full of thoughts that you don't know where to begin? In this episode of Positive Possibilities, I explore three simple yet powerful writing practices that can help you quiet the mental noise, gain clarity and reconnect with yourself: journalling, scripting and free flow writing.

I'll share how each technique can support your mindset, mental wellbeing and personal growth, whether you're working through challenges, setting meaningful goals or creating a vision for the future. We talk about why writing can help untangle overwhelming thoughts, process emotions and uncover the answers that are often already within us.

When Progress Feels Slow: Trusting the Changes You Can't Yet See

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things, but the results just aren't happening quickly enough?

In this episode of Positive Possibilities, I explore what it feels like when progress seems slow and why it's so easy to become discouraged when we focus only on the outcome. Whether you're working towards a health goal, building confidence, growing a business, or creating positive habits, this episode is a reminder that meaningful change often happens long before we can see it.

I share my own experience of exercising more regularly and how, although the physical changes haven't been as noticeable as I'd hoped, I've realised I'm feeling stronger, healthier and more energised. Sometimes the biggest signs of progress aren't visible—they're found in the way we think, feel and show up for ourselves each day.

I also reflect on the power of celebrating small wins, trusting the process, and recognising the quiet transformations happening beneath the surface. Plus, with the New Moon in Cancer inviting us to reconnect with ourselves and set gentle intentions, I share a few reflective journaling prompts to help you embrace where you are right now while continuing to move forward.

If you've been feeling impatient, stuck or questioning whether your efforts are making a difference, this episode is your reminder that every small step counts—and that you're probably making more progress than you realise.

Coming Back to Yourself

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Have you ever felt stuck, blank, or as though all your thoughts and ideas are trapped in a room in your mind—and you just can't find the key to unlock them?

In this honest and heartfelt episode, I reflect on the last couple of weeks and share why I've been feeling disconnected from my creativity and sense of direction. I open up about what has been happening in my life, the impact of grief, and how much I still miss being able to share life's special moments with my mam and dad. I also talk about one of my greatest inspirations and the lessons they're teaching me right now.

But this episode isn't just about feeling stuck—it's about finding your way forward. Together, we explore the importance of self-reflection, recognising when it's time to pivot, realign with what truly matters, or simply adjust our goals into smaller, more achievable steps. Sometimes progress isn't about giant leaps; it's about moving forward just 2% at a time.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, lacking motivation, navigating grief, searching for clarity, or trying to reconnect with yourself, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to have it all figured out. Every small step counts, and there's always a way forward.

Maybe I Am the Person for This

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Have you ever felt like you're not smart enough, capable enough, or simply "the kind of person" who gets to achieve certain goals? In this episode, I share personal experiences of the limiting beliefs that held me back and how I began to challenge them. By allowing myself to dream, visualise, and connect with what I wanted, my nervous system started to see those goals as safe, possible, and achievable. I explore how this shift in mindset created the confidence to take meaningful action and move towards my goals.

Your Mind's Negative Bias and Tools to Overcome It

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 21:48:38 GMT

Our minds are incredible tools, but they naturally tend to focus on problems, threats, and what's going wrong. This built-in negative bias can lead to self-criticism, overthinking, and feeling stuck when facing challenges.

In this episode, I explore why our minds work this way and share simple, practical tools to help you challenge negative thinking patterns. By becoming more aware of your inner dialogue and learning how to shift your perspective, you can improve how you feel, think more clearly, and free your mind to focus on solutions rather than problems.

You’re Not Stuck — You Have the Power to Change Your Patterns

Tue, 05 May 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we explore why you’re not stuck—you’re patterned.

I talk about how our thoughts, behaviours, and routines become wired into our brains over time, and how this can keep us repeating the same cycles… even when we want something different. But the good news is, this isn’t permanent.

We talk about neuroplasticity (even though I can't seem to say neuroplasticity very well!!), and how your brain is constantly adapting—and how small, consistent shifts can begin to rewire the patterns that are holding you back.

Today we are talking about imposter syndrome and who anxiety can keep you from moving forward. I'll share some ideas on how to focus less on the emotion and take action.

Here are the journal prompts to reflect on during this Fridays full moon.

1) What am I holding onto that I know, deep down, I'm ready to release? This could be a habit, a belief or a version of yourself.

2) Where in my life am I avoiding the truth? This isn't about judgement but more about awareness.

3) If I trusted myself fully, what would I do differently right now.
