In Episode 46 of Emotional Organization, I’m writing a love letter to the powerhouse women — real, remembered, and imagined — who have shaped the way I think, act, and live.
Through nine life areas, I explore the role of mental models as a form of self-coaching: the ways we can borrow strategies, mindsets, and behaviours from others to build the most aligned version of ourselves.

We dig into:

Ecosystems of influence — how the people we admire create an interconnected web of impact on our lives.

Mental models as self-coaching tools — why “pocket mentors” can change how you respond in high-stakes moments.

The emotional data we ignore — and how to turn your feelings into fuel instead of friction.

Physical and mental connection — how movement, strength, and body awareness can reshape your mindset.

The women who have lifted me — in body, mind, and spirit — and why their example matters.

This is more than a tribute. It’s an invitation to curate your own mental model ecosystem, practice the behaviours you want to embody, and get your emotions working for you, not against you.

Takeaway:
Observation is the starting line. Practice is the race. And the finish line is realizing you’ve become the person you once only imagined.
