About Bara Mann: Bara Mann is a transformational life coach, energy healer, speaker, and writer who is passionate about helping people release fears, insecurities, and limiting patterns to live with confidence and joy. After leaving her career as an engineer to follow her healing journey, she trained in Reiki, pendulum healing, and the Emotion Code, blending these practices with coaching for powerful, lasting results. Bara shares her experiences and insights on building confidence, setting boundaries, deepening connections, and finding joy even in challenging circumstances. Her mission is simple yet profound: to create a world where everyone feels they belong, are empowered, and get to thrive truly.

In this episode, Lisa and Bara discuss:

• How overthinkers can reduce self-sabotage to increase joy and productivity
• The Positive Intelligence framework and its role in reshaping thought patterns
• Bara’s transition from engineering to transformational coaching and speaking
• Practical mindfulness techniques to handle overwhelm and unwanted change
• Redefining success, legacy, and what it means to live authentically

Key Takeaways: 

• Self-sabotage is often fueled by recurring thought patterns, but with awareness and deliberate shifts, individuals can move past these habits. This opens the door to greater fulfillment, confidence, and impact in both personal and professional life.
• The Positive Intelligence framework empowers people to access their “sage” mind—their clearest, most authentic self—rather than staying trapped in the limiting “saboteur” mode. By doing so, they gain clarity, emotional balance, and better decision-making.
• Mindfulness practices, such as pausing to notice physical sensations, help ground individuals in the present moment. This state of presence creates space for clearer thinking and more intentional actions.
• Success is no longer defined by titles, salaries, or external recognition. Instead, it’s about cultivating inner peace and joy that lead to a more sustainable and meaningful way of living.
• No one thrives alone—having trusted coaches, mentors, or supportive friends is essential when navigating change. These relationships provide guidance, perspective, and strength during life’s toughest transitions.

“I want people to feel more free, to be their full, authentic self, to bring all of themselves to everywhere they go, and to help give them a path to do that.” - Bara Mann
