In this episode of LET’s Network: The Podcast, hosts Emily Harrington and Talia Hreljac sit down with Jeanette Johnston, a mindset business coach and certified NLP practitioner with more than 20 years of experience helping entrepreneurs grow with clarity and confidence.

Jeanette shares her personal journey from a secure traditional career into entrepreneurship, describing the moment she realized she felt “stuck” and needed deeper support. That search led her to Neuro‑Linguistic Programming (NLP)—a transformative methodology that helped her uncover limiting beliefs, release emotional barriers, and step into her strengths. This work now forms the foundation of how she supports small and medium‑sized business owners in achieving both personal and professional growth.

Throughout the conversation, the trio explores:

• How limiting beliefs influence decisions and business outcomes
• Why mindset work is essential for sustainable success
• How NLP techniques such as anchoring and the stone walk help regulate emotions and motivation
• The internal pressures entrepreneurs experience, especially women in business
• Why delegation is difficult for many leaders and how mindset plays a role
• The importance of consistency and self‑awareness in creating lasting change
• How NLP complements other forms of coaching or therapy

Jeanette offers practical insights into building better mental habits, reframing personal narratives, and using simple tools that only require seconds to implement. Whether you are a business owner, a leader, or someone pursuing personal development, this episode delivers grounded strategies you can apply immediately.

• “If we can clean up old stories in our head, that is incredibly freeing.”
• “There’s always that element of deserving—or even capability.”
• “We put a lot of pressure on ourselves as entrepreneurs.”
• “Anchoring takes five to 15 seconds and you can do it anywhere, any time.”
• “Stories become proof—they become evidence.”
• “You don’t need a crisis to start mindset work, but you do need a habit you want to change.”
