Ep. 92: MONDAY MANTRA | “How Lucky Am I That I Didn’t End Up With What I Thought I Needed?”

Episode 92: This Monday Mantra reflects on rejection, redirection, and learning to trust that the things that don’t work out are often protecting you.

In this reflective episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda Powers explores one of the most powerful mindset shifts we can make: learning to see rejection as redirection. Inspired by a post from the artist @randompaintress, this Monday Mantra asks a question that reframes pain into gratitude: “How lucky am I that I didn’t end up with what I thought I needed?”

Amanda shares her personal experiences with disappointment, identity shifts, and closed doors that turned out to be blessings in disguise. Through story, vulnerability, and insight, she helps listeners process the difference between what they want and what they need, and encourages them to transform regret into self-discovery.

This episode is for anyone navigating:

• Creative burnout or feeling lost
• Rejection in relationships, career, or life direction
• Personal growth through discomfort
• Emotional healing through mindset shifts
• The power of art and creativity to reframe experience
