The Lead Podcast

CBT Therapist Heather Joy on managing imposter syndrome, trauma and mental health as a Leader


Listen Later

In today’s powerful episode, Amy is joined by Heather Joy, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), to discuss how our mindset influences both our work and personal lives. Heather explores the critical link between exercise and mental health, particularly for women in leadership roles.


They dive deep into the psychological effects of trauma, dissociation, and how emotional triggers can impact our well-being. Heather shares expert advice on navigating imposter syndrome, overcoming self-doubt, and managing the societal pressures that often weigh heavily on women. Additionally, they discuss how exercise and mindfulness practices support mental clarity and emotional regulation.

Amy and Heather also explore the emerging super-power of trauma survivors—qualities such as heightened sensitivity, resilience, intuition, truth-telling, and the ability to detect truth. They discuss the growing recognition of these post-traumatic growth abilities, highlighting the strength and empowerment found in healing.


The conversation also covers daily habits for grounding and entering ourselves when feeling overwhelmed at work, offering practical tools to help manage stress, stay centered, and regain balance in challenging moments.


This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking tools to heal, reclaim their authenticity, and improve their mental health.
