    Jun 28 2024
    Through my work, I have been immensely lucky to meet some exceptional humans who have inspired me, taught me precious lessons of wisdom and even offered me the most precious gift of all: their friendship. This episode features one of these remarkable people: Samantha Kropff. Sam shares with us her journey from being a forensic investigator to becoming a leader and later a leadership development expert and the accompanying transformation she experienced in her work and life. She vulnerably shares the ups and downs of her growth - revelations, setbacks, hard-won lessons and the courageous choice to push herself out of her comfort zone again and again. Samantha is an inspiring example for every woman who has ever had to find her voice and step into her leadership power, especially when working in male-dominated environments. She is also an advocate for the value of vertical development as a life practice, showing us how incredibly beautiful and painfully messy the journey of human growth can actually be.

  • Cancer as a Developmental Journey

    Cancer as a Developmental Journey
    Feb 19 2024

    In this emotional conversation, I sit down with my dear friend, Belinda Forman, who shares her profound journey with cancer, not just as a battle to be fought, but as a deeply personal developmental journey. Belinda opens up about the initial shock of diagnosis, the rollercoaster of choices around treatments, and the unexpected pathways to personal growth that emerged from her experience.

    Through her story she invites us into a vulnerable exploration of the intersection of health crises and adult development, shedding light on the power of mindset, the importance of facing our mortality, and showing us how we might choose to lean into adversity as a gift of transformative growth. I hope you are as inspired as I was by Belinda’s insights into navigating one of life's toughest challenges with grace, ‘fire’, awareness, resilience, and an open heart, and that you find in this conversation some precious wisdom to bring into your own relationship with adversity.

  • Emotions as Superpowers

    Emotions as Superpowers
    Jan 25 2024
    In this episode we dive into the rollercoaster of emotions and how they secretly power our lives. I’m thrilled to learn from Dr. Cindy Sholes, a neuroscientist, coach and co-founder of the rREST™ technique, as we explore "Emotions as Superpowers." In this chat, Cindy takes us on her personal journey, from the foundational experiences of her early years to her research into neuroscience and her journey into the heart of human emotion. She sheds light on the mysteries of emotional agility and introduces us to the rREST technique – her unique approach to taming emotional stress. We'll explore how our feelings are not just fleeting reactions, but powerful guides that shape who we are and how we navigate the world - how we parent, engage with our life-partners and show up for others (and ourselves) every day. So, grab a cozy spot and join us for a conversation that I hope will be as enlightening as it is heartwarming. We're not just talking about emotions – we're aiming to discover how they can be our greatest superpowers in this crazy, beautiful and yet often overwhelming journey of life.Episode summary[00:02:33] Dr. Cindy shares her neuroscience background and personal experiences.[00:06:08] Journey from neuroscience to studying emotions and the subconscious.[00:09:51] Discussion on emotional triggers and the importance of emotional understanding.[00:17:20] Explanation of emotional agility in adult development.[00:23:35] Introduction to the rRest technique for managing emotional stress.[00:33:15] Four reflective questions for better emotional understanding.[00:41:21] How emotions manifest physically and impact behavior.[00:51:14] Curiosity as an effective tool for soothing emotions.[00:56:49] Importance of practice and awareness in emotional regulation.[00:59:44] Dr. Cindy's vision for emotional mastery and authentic self-expression.[01:02:31] Summary of key insights and the role of curiosity in emotional growth.Useful Resources* Cindy’s website: https://www.drcindysholes.com * Learn more about the rREST™ method: https://rrestacademy.com* Shirzad Chamine’s work on Positive Intelligence (saboteurs/sage): www.PositiveIntelligence.com * The Emotional Guidance Scale source: the book "Ask and It is Given" by Ester and Jerry Hicks. * Dr. Brene Brown’s work on Emotions: the book “Atlas of the Heart” * Dr. Valerie Livesay’s work on Fallback: https://www.ghostlightleadership.com and the podcast I recorded with Valerie on this topic: * The Bodily Maps of Emotions research study: Nummenmaa L, Glerean E, Hari R, Hietanen JK.
