79. Guest Series: Rewiring Beliefs + Regulating Emotions (with Lisa Manzo)

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Lisa Manzo—emotional intelligence strategist, trauma-informed mindset coach, and founder of The Phoenix Mind. With deep expertise spanning neuroscience, trauma, education, and subconscious programming, Lisa brings a grounded yet transformative energy to the world of personal growth and parenting.

We explore:

• How unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs sneak into our parenting

• The biology behind emotional reactivity—and how to interrupt it

• What emotional regulation actually looks like (and why it’s not suppression)

• The role of subconscious rewiring in generational healing

• Tools that help shift from survival mode to clarity, confidence, and connection

Lisa’s approach blends the science of behavior change with the soul of healing, offering practical insights for parents, leaders, and anyone doing the inner work while holding space for others.

🎧 Tune in for a high-impact conversation that reminds you: your brain can rewire, your beliefs can shift, and you are not broken—you’re becoming.
