The Brightn Roundtable: Attention, Boundaries, and the Daily Habits That Build Resilience

This week on Living Undeterred, Jeff Johnston is joined by the Brightn core team, Tyce Hoskins, Carson Goodale, and Emilie Mauricio, for our first ever Brightn Roundtable. It’s not an interview. It’s a real, in-the-room conversation about what mental wellness looks like behind the scenes, in real life, and in the world we’re all living in right now.

Tyce Hoskins (Brightn marketing and creative) shares why our biggest competitor is attention, how consistency beats intensity, and why the smallest wins still count when you’re rebuilding momentum.

Carson Goodale (Brightn product and technology) talks about stigma, why people avoid support even when they need it, and how self-awareness and reflection can interrupt spirals before they get heavier.

Emilie Mauricio (Brightn partnerships and community, educator) opens up about what it’s like carrying stress quietly, how journaling helps her reset, and why learning to slow down and be present changes everything.

• Your attention is your life. Protect it with boundaries that support who you’re becoming.

• Consistency beats intensity. Mental wellness is “sweeping your porch” daily, not doing everything perfectly once.

• You’re not broken. You don’t need to wait for rock bottom to start taking small steps that change your trajectory.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or like you’re carrying too much in your head, this episode will meet you with honesty, clarity, and hope.

“You don’t need some huge breakthrough. You need one small win you can repeat.”

This episode isn’t just a conversation. It’s a blueprint for building a steadier baseline.

The closing sentiment from the group is simple and human:

• You’re not alone.

• You’ve already survived 100% of your worst days.

• Purpose becomes passion when it gets personal.

• Do one small thing today. Sweep your porch. Help someone. Compliment someone. Build momentum.

And Jeff ends with a reminder that fits the whole roundtable: you are exactly where you need to be right now, and we’re all in this together.

Let’s Brightn lives, together.
