Mindset Mastery with Julissa Edwards
Mindset Mastery with Julissa Edwards is a podcast for thoughtful, self-aware people who are ready to move beyond emotional overwhelm and into clarity, calm, and intentional leadership.
Hosted by licensed mental health therapist turned mindset mastery coach Julissa Edwards, the show explores how our emotions, nervous systems, and thought patterns shape the way we show up in our lives — in business, relationships, parenting, and personal growth.
Through a mix of personal reflections, client case studies, and live coaching-style conversations, Julissa helps listeners understand the deeper emotional patterns behind anxiety, overthinking, burnout, decision fatigue, and high-functioning exhaustion.
Many episodes feature real-time coaching conversations where guests unpack the emotional dynamics affecting their business, leadership, relationships, or personal life — offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how mindset mastery actually happens.
Rather than surface-level motivation or productivity hacks, this podcast focuses on emotional insight, nervous system regulation, and grounded personal growth.
Listeners often walk away feeling:
• understood
• calmer in their body
• clearer in their decisions
• and more confident leading their life with intention
Mindset Mastery is for the person who appears capable on the outside but internally feels mentally busy, emotionally stretched, and ready for deeper support and self-understanding.
This isn’t about thinking positive.
It’s about understanding yourself well enough to lead your life with calm, clarity, and self-trust.

Finding Your Why: Career Pivots, Family & Courage with Kristin Carestio
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this heartfelt episode of Mindset Mastery, Julissa sits down with licensed massage therapist and former firefighter/EMT Kristin Carestio to explore what it really means to pivot toward alignment.
After a 13-year career in emergency services, Kristin found herself navigating burnout, chronic migraines, motherhood without a village, and deep personal grief after losing her sister. While serving others had always been her calling, the intensity of EMS began colliding with her home life.
Kristin shares how massage therapy became not just a new career path, but a way to create healing, balance, and peace for herself and others. She opens up about building a business while “fumbling through,” navigating family transitions as her husband shifts roles in his own firefighting career, and the ongoing work of maintaining self-care during seasons of change.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that alignment doesn’t mean life becomes perfect. It means choosing the hard that honors your why.
Talked about in this episode:
- Transitioning from firefighter/EMT to massage therapist
- Burnout in first-responder careers
- Chronic migraines and stress-related health impact
- Navigating motherhood without a support system
- Creating a peaceful home environment
- Building a small business from scratch
- Self-care during seasons of adjustment
- Finding your “why” as your driving force
