Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I recount my experience speaking at the Manifest Her event, where I participated in a wealth panel. This opportunity sparked a significant realization about the disconnect between our lofty goals and our self-belief. I emphasize the necessity of raising our "floor"—the foundation of our self-worth and belief in our capabilities—before we can effectively reach higher goals. I discuss how failing to address this gap can lead to a cycle of self-sabotage, where unmet goals diminish our self-esteem even further. I encourage listeners to define their success and assess whether...

On this Valentine's Day episode, which emphasizes love and connection, I share a personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of leading with love. This episode is inspired by my late mother-in-law, who played a significant role in my life for nearly 40 years. Her recent passing has prompted me to reflect on the themes of vulnerability and the necessity of dropping our emotional armour. I share the concept of vulnerability, discussing how many of us have been conditioned to be strong and stoic, often at the expense of our emotional well-being. I recount my struggles with this armour,...

In this episode, I dive into the concept of our daily thoughts and how they shape the narrative of our lives. I start by sharing a striking statistic: we have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts daily, with 80% to 90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This realization led me to a powerful metaphor: if we write a book in our minds daily, what kind of book are we writing? What is your "daily book" revealing about you? Are the thoughts uplifting and empowering, or do they serve to tear you down? What would someone learn about you if they read the book of their thoughts from that...

In this episode, I share the transformative power of our thoughts and how they shape our lives. I start by sharing my experience of entering the year feeling slightly off and struggling to pinpoint the reasons behind my funk. It wasn't until I revisited a journaling practice that I began to uncover the layers of my thoughts and emotions. I emphasize the importance of allowing ourselves to express our thoughts freely without judgment or editing. This brain dump technique can lead to surprising revelations about our inner dialogue, often exposing feelings and beliefs we may not consciously...
info_outlineIn this episode, we are speaking with Neuropsychologist, Dr. Julia DiGangi. Dr. DiGangi is a neuropsychologist who shows you how to expand the power of your nervous system to hold more emotional voltage. As a brain scientist, Dr. Julia knows that your nervous system is your portal to power. She will show you how to take the pain in your life--your stress, your struggle and your suffering--and transform it into your power.
Dr. Julia brings tremendous expertise and decades of applied experience serving leaders at the highest levels of power, including The White House, top leadership at global companies, and Special Forces.
Having worked with leaders who’ve endured some of the highest-stakes, highest-stress situations on the planet, Dr. Julia will show you what it takes to unlock new dimensions of your emotional power as you face defining challenges in your own life.
In this episode we discuss:
1) Where pain originates and how it starts as soon as we abandon who we are, and we create this internal tug of war within ourselves. We can find our own personal power when we recognize that we are our own safest bet.
2) Trauma and pain in our bodies, how our brain is the pattern detector machine and its responsibility is to protect us from pain, and Dr. Julia’s definition of trauma as the violent shattering of the predictable patterns.
3) Where trauma and how we deal with trauma can affect or impact our leadership skills, leading others in business and in our lives.
