So many of us are walking through life reacting to the present… through the pain of our past.
Today’s episode is about how trauma rewires your nervous system and distorts how you see the world—through the lens of your younger, unhealed self.

We’re diving into real-life moments when your inner child takes over:
– At work when you shut down in meetings
– In relationships when silence feels like rejection
– Alone at home when stillness feels like danger

You’ll learn how emotional unavailability in childhood wires your nervous system to perform, please, and protect—even when you’re not in danger anymore. And we’ll explore 3 powerful steps to recognize what's happening, begin to heal, and start responding as the bold, present version of you—not the scared, unseen version from your past.

🌱 Plus, I’ll share a few powerful affirmations to help you begin rewiring your internal dialogue and reclaim safety in your body.

✨ Affirmations from Today’s Episode:

• It’s safe for me to feel.

Leadership isn’t just about results—it’s about responsibility.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on outdated leadership habits that leave people burned out, overlooked, or quietly shrinking in the background. I’m breaking down how Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows up in the workplace, how trauma and survival mode impact performance, and what bold leaders actually do to develop people from a place of trust—not pressure.

You’ll hear:

• What it feels like to be led well (and poorly)

• The hidden costs of ignoring your team’s human needs

• How my own story shaped the way I lead and serve today

• Tangible ways to build safety, connection, and bold development

You can’t coach potential you’re too busy controlling.
Tune in—and let’s lead like humans again.

Boldness isn’t just a trait—it’s a practice, and it starts right here.

You’ve been making decisions, forming opinions, and reacting to people based on beliefs you didn’t even choose.

Where did they come from?
Who handed them to you?
And why are you still carrying them?

This episode is an invitation to pause the programming and look at the automatic thoughts that shape your world—especially the ones that feel so normal, you never think to question them.

We’ll explore:

• The psychology behind unconscious bias

• Real-life stories, including my experience as a woman veteran constantly overlooked

• Less-triggering everyday examples that reveal your mental shortcuts

• How social media, leadership, and culture reinforce bias

• And most importantly: how to reclaim your second thought and rewire your response

Because boldness isn’t just about what you say—
It’s about what you’re finally willing to unlearn.
