"Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine"

 

How many times do we have this interaction in our daily lives? What does it even MEAN to be "okay", or "fine?"

 

In this episode, Dr. Lee takes a critical exploration re: these 2 words, including:

●     What these words really mean when we say them

●     How they can be harmful when used in conversations, and

●     How we can start asking questions that help us really each other and create space to feel our feelings in community. 

 

Interested in learning more about how we can feel our feelings, and connect with others more effectively?

Today's episode is a bit of a hard hitter despite its length, so invitation to make sure you're in the headspace to hear it before diving in! 

Dr. Lee delivers a short and direct message about one of the most common things that prevents us from recovering from trauma- 

The childhood, fairytale-inspired desire to be "rescued"...

And how we can learn to save ourselves AND receive support along the way.

Join Dr. Lee and special guess Bethany George, aka The Follow Up Boss, as they vibe around:

●     prioritizing purposeful, intentional interactions as you network

●     how traditional business practices can lead us to feel disconnected 

●     figuring out if you like people before deciding if you want to work together

●     why lead generation should be your 2nd focus- and what should be FIRST! 

 

Bethany has been an enterprising entrepreneur since she was a young child. A problem solver and servant at heart. Entrepreneurship is a part of who she is. Along with being a mom to 5 kids. You will find her on Zooms, meeting new people or out with the kids seeking outdoor adventures and wild herbal medicines.

Her business, The Follow Up Boss, comes from years in the sales world. Struggling to create results while also creating community in a methodology that feels authentic and ethical. Struggling to not feel salesy while still needing to make sales. She has refused to compromise the core values around building genuine human connection and valuing others. She now calls BS on a lot of traditionally held sales beliefs. Her motto is Purposeful and Intentional Interactions. That is how a heart-centered people-first business finds success.

Content Warning- Political Terror, S*xual Assault, and Domestic Violence

 In this incredibly powerful episode, Dr. Carron Silva shares her childhood experiences growing up in South Africa during the 1960s as a woman of color. Her story is one of trauma and terror, and also love, forgiveness, and faith. 

 Dr. Carron Silva is a Catholic Mindset Coach and Forgiveness Guide. She curates a space where individuals can participate without due pressure to please, perform, or pretend, to explore their deepest thoughts and be vulnerable to safely challenge beliefs that prevent them from becoming who God created them to be. She teaches forgiveness as a life skill and helps women heal from emotional and betrayal trauma.

In this final part of a 3-part series on leadership, self-trust, and power, Dr. Lee focuses on power.

 

Dr. Lee examines what power is through 3 lenses: 

●     the moral implications of power

●     how it can be and is used as a tool

●     how influence plays a role

 

She also looks at the ways in which trauma / past painful experiences affect power and how we can learn to wield power in a more trauma-informed way and how consent and choice come into play in power dynamics.

 

Thought Leader, the incredible new program Dr. Lee shares in this episode, started April 3. You haven’t missed a thing. Get to a more aligned, trauma-informed power state with us.

 

Join for 3 months and get a behind-the-scenes look at how Dr. Lee is building her thought leadership and the side of the business that will help support it.

You’re in for a special treat today! In the second part of a 3-part series on Power, Leadership and Self-Trust, this week Dr. Lee coaches client Deana Tanner around explaining her leadership brand.

The catalyst for today’s conversation was the creation of a new 3-month container around becoming a thought leader that starts in April 2023 – and when the offer was announced online the interest was incredible!

Deana had already messaged Dr. Lee to talk about being a guest on the podcast and felt stuck around filling out her bio. It was the perfect segue into talking about how we identify as leaders in the spaces we are in. So this week you get a behind-the-scenes look at what coaching with Dr. Lee can look like, and how to create your “I help…” statement that you can then use to start stepping into spaces as a leader in your own right.

Connect with Deana:

About Deana:
Deana Tanner, a queer and polyamorous 30-something, is making her debut into the world of Thought Leader as a healthy humaning expert.

In the first of a 3-part series on Power, Leadership and Self-Trust, this week Dr. Lee talks about psychological safety and trust.

Psychological safety is incredibly important to us here at the Institute (it’s in our name, after all). But what IS it?

It’s not enough to create physically safe spaces, it’s important to create spaces that are psychologically safe as well. And Dr. Lee addresses some of the challenge and controversy around this concept. 

Understanding what it really means truly sheds light on the concept and negates a lot of the resistance to it.
