Episode 97: “Confronting Myself: The Mindshift Sparked by My Daughter’s Arrival”

In this episode of Mindflip Moments, we had Andy Reid with us.

Andy’s first “Mindflip Moment” came with the birth of his daughter, Eliza. Her arrival inadvertently forced him to confront deep, unresolved issues that he had been avoiding for years.

He had managed to suppress these challenges for the first 30 years of his life, but Eliza’s presence made it impossible to continue.

A turning point came during an argument with his wife when she pointed out that he had an issue, which made Andy realize he had been avoiding family time under the guise of being productive.

This marked the beginning of his journey to become a “student of himself.”

He recognised that to take control of his life, he needed to understand his motivations, emotions, and the things driving him.

While diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2015, Andy reflects that the real shift began when his daughter entered his life—a positive force that set him on the path of self-awareness and growth.
