In this episode of Doing The Work, I sit down with Abigail G. Manning, a coach who helps military personnel transition to civilian life by focusing on mindset.

We talk about the power of positive self-talk to overcome limiting beliefs and unique concepts like ‘Purple Threads’ and the ‘Adverse Spiral’—tools to understand and tackle mental and emotional challenges.

Abigail also shares strategies for turning stress into a strength, the importance of having purpose and community, and her personal journey of overcoming trauma.

Plus, she gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming work at the Pentagon and her online leadership course.
