In this episode, I am speaking with Mindset Mentor, Author, Educator, and Speaker, Chuck Barnard. Chuck is a best-selling author, master educator, and mindset mentor with more than 30 years of experience guiding students, families, and athletes through personal transformation. Armed with advanced certifications in NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Time-Line Therapy®, Chuck has helped thousands overcome anxiety, disconnection, and emotional shutdown—not with endless talk therapy, but with mindset rewiring techniques that create lasting change.

His signature "Garden of the Soul" method was born from both professional insight and personal tragedy. After losing his wife to cancer, Chuck turned grief into purpose, developing tools to help others clear emotional weeds, cultivate resilience, and grow into their fullest potential. Through his books, courses, and podcast, Chuck leads a movement to equip the next generation—and those who guide them—with the mindset, habits, and resilience needed to thrive emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
