Helping parents quickly and easily shift their family from chaos to calm using ready-made fun and creative play.
– Mindset Family
Goodbye Meltdowns, Hello Mellow...
Mindset Family is designed to make life feel like a game that everyone can win. Navigate levels of Self awareness with ready-made fun, creative play and valuable life lessons every step of the way.
Mindset Family is an innovative new approach to personal transformation. Personifying mindset concepts with children's art, offering creative 'heart therapy' and empowering kids to choose their own adventure makes the journey of growing together feel fun and easy.
Brain-based research has proven that play based learning works up to 20x faster to change results. Scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create new synapse in the brain UNLESS it's done in play, in which case it takes only 10-20 repetitions.
This is why Mindset Family uses play based experiences to help the whole family connect & grow together. The Choose Your Own Adventure micro missions included after each lesson will help you and your family implement what they are learning, and what they already know to change behaviour to close the knowing / doing gap.
Hello! I'm C.J. Smith
A.K.A. The Mother of Invention...
Mindset Family was born from necessity through the experience of solo parenting, while running a business, in a global pandemic, less than a year postpartum. People often ask me, "How do you do it?!" Mindset is my super power, and I can teach you what I know.
Welcome, I’m so happy and grateful that you are here! I’m CJ Smith, founder of Mindset Family. I want to help you achieve your goals and fall in love with the process of manifesting it all!
I’ve studied mindset practices for 15 years and have accumulated knowledge from some of the world’s most influential thought leaders. I was trained and certified by the legendary Bob Proctor, reaching Bob's Inner circle as one of the Top 1% of mindset coaches globally. Mindset Family is a creative system developed from a proven method of mindset transformation. I have curated everything I learned from each of my mentors along with my unique creative approach and experience as a parent to create an easy to follow system that works. Life is a game, and it's a lot more fun when you know how to win.
Set goals that inspire you and your family
Learn up to 20x faster and have a lot more fun together with an innovative creative approach. Take a closer look at daily habitual thinking and discover how to become more productive. Develop leadership qualities and understand the importance of being an intelligent follower too.
Get unstuck and learn to adopt better habits
Tired of kids habitually ignoring instructions leading parents to eventually become frustrated or feel stuck in the habit of a yelling-guilt cycle? It's time to change the game. Mindset Family helps create new productive habits to replace habits that aren't working for you.
Build confidence and let go of fear & anxiety
Self doubt about future results are a reflection of past thinking. To create the change we desire we must first reprogram the way we see ourselves. Mindset Family has both a top down and bottom up approach working with both our thinking and healing at the level of the nervous system. Get radically honest about the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and follow a step-by-step process to create new ways of thinking and feeling.
The Magic Word (it's not please)
You're probably heard the phrase, attitude is everything...But what does that actually mean? Have you ever accused your kiddo or your partner of having a bad attitude? Or noticed your own poor attitude in a challenging moment? How do we change our attitude towards others or towards life itself? Shift the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that create an attitude for success.
What if it was easy?
As a result of this program you will learn to look for ways to make yourself and everyone you come into contact with, feel valued and appreciated. Mindset Family is designed not for incremental change, but for making a quantum leap. Get radically honest about the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and follow a step-by-step process, create new ways of thinking, and have a ton of FUN together along the way.

Level 1: The Big B.A.N.G.
Principle: Goal setting and achieving Big Bold Awesome Noble Goals
Benefits: Explains how to set and achieve goals that promote quantum leaps. Also teaches the process of setting and achieving family goals. Set goals that inspire you and your family which helps everyone grow together. This lesson is motivating and helps everyone in the family see themselves as part of something bigger.
Level 2: Mind the Gap
Principle: Why this system works
Benefits: Most training and books provide information on how to change behavior. But SHELF help seldom produces better results because there is a gap between knowing better and DOING better. How many times have you told your child, "You KNOW better," when observing their behavior. How many times have you criticized yourself after a gnarly day of parenting because you KNOW better than how you parented that day. Scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain UNLESS it's done in play, in which case it takes only 10-20 repetitions. This is why Mindset Family uses play based experiences to help the whole family connect & grow together. The Choose Your Own Adventure micro missions included after each lesson will help you and your family implement what they are learning, and what they already know to change behaviour to close the knowing / doing gap.
Level 3: Get Unstuck
Principle: Productivity and Efficiency
Benefits: This lesson helps you and your family replace non-productive habits with new and beneficial habits to help everyone realize their full potential. Kids can transform their academic or athletic performance, improve their relationship with themselves and others and start enjoying childhood from a felt sense of winning. Parents can use these tools to get off the struggle bus and become more effective leaders at home and at work, increasing productivity and a felt sense of ease and flow.
Level 4: Meet the Genie
Principle: Unlocking your inner genius
Benefits: This lesson teaches how thoughts AND feelings work together to create our results. Parents and kids can take a close look at their daily habitual thinking to see how they can become more productive. Break free from past results, habitual thoughts, feelings and actions to improve performance and overall well-being.
Level 5: Mind Magic
Principle: Meet the Higher Faculty
Benefits: This lesson introduces powerful ways of thinking. Parents and children will learn how to think and how to analyze thinking to create the results they desire. This lesson helps you to realize past results are a reflection of past thinking and that changing what you are getting means changing your thinking. Help family members develop creative and innovative, solutions to problems that will increase success and happiness.
Level 6: I am the ONE
Principle: Be the STAR you are.
Benefits: This lesson is all about building self-confidence in both parents and children. You will begin to understand that to be more happy, productive and successful, you must change the way you see yourself. Learn to focus less on past results and what others are doing and more on what you are capable of achieving. Become an infinitely powerful being who can be, do and have any desired outcome. You can, and you will, when you change your self image.
Level 7: The Wall of UCK
Principle: 4 Steps to overcome fear & anxiety
Benefits: In this lesson, you will gain an understanding of fears and begin to take inspired action in spite of those fears. As family members overcome their fears, they become more productive and forward thinking and realize more of their potential.
Level 8 Praxis what your Preach
Principle: Learn how to believe in yourself and align actions with your goals
Benefits: Family members can begin to see the connection between beliefs and behaviour. When they change from non-productive to productive actions their results can then match their vision and goals. They create the results they are capable of creating.
Level 9: Magic Word (not please)
Principle: Is your attitude working for you or against you?
Benefits: This lesson offers a definition of attitude that you may not have understood before. Many books & programs talk about the importance of having a good attitude, but this lesson explains what that means and how to change it. When thoughts, beliefs and actions are aligned you can be more productive and efficient. Learn how to create a positive attitude regardless of the situation.
Level 10: Rise Up: Leadership
Principle: Effective Leadership
Benefits: This lesson will help you and your family develop qualities of leadership in addition to being an intelligent follower. Learn the importance of creating a positive environment where everyone loves who they are and the efforts they offer to their family and the world.
Level 11: M.M.F.I.
Principle: Make Me Feel Important - Success through service
Benefits: There is one caveat to this entire concept, and it’s a biggie: In order to leave others with the impression of increase, you also need to do the same for yourself. This lesson emphasizes being of service to others with no expectation of return. It is encouraged to do more and give more than expected. As a result of this lesson, you will look for ways to make yourself, and everyone you come into contact with, feel valued and appreciated. Once you get into the habit of leaving everyone with a sense of increase, you’ll start to notice how the good comes back to you.
Level 12: The Easy Way
Principle: How to solve problems and get growing
Benefits: Other programs show how to make incremental changes. This program helps you quantum leap, leading to dramatic changes in performance and results. You are now wired for success so you will keep getting better and better at what you are doing. Learn how to magnify energy with family members that are focused and empowered with unprecedented increases in your results.

The art that sparked a whole vibe... Introducing Julie Amlin & By Heart
Back in the weird times of 2020, CJ Smith had an idea to create a mural inspired by the purpose of life. She immediately thought of Julie Amlin and the manifesting seed was planted. Amlin is a Toronto-based artist, writer and creative powerhouse who aims to shake off the dust of predictability and create an invitation for fun and reflection within her work. She hopes to awaken our collective inner child and inspire a renewed experience of exploration through curiosity and intentional joy. Amlin’s blank canvas invites the delicate dance of color + movement to join in, where emotion drops the beat in celebration of the dance of human connection that prioritizes the present moment. Her loud murals and art, written work and creative mashups are like a friend on the dance floor- hand outstretched in your direction- beckoning you with a grin: “c’mon, let’s dance!” Julie's art is featured throughout the Mindset Family program. CJ & Julie have also combined their creativity to publish the Radical Reflection series of books.
