Summary:

In this episode, Elisha interviews Lorraine Berg, founder of Human Centered Workplaces, who shares her personal journey through emotional growth, entrepreneurship, and radical self-awareness. With over two decades of experience in leadership and consulting, Lorraine discusses the significance of emotional intelligence, the power of the "pause," and her use of the science of differentiation (also known as Human Design or BG5) to help individuals understand their energetic blueprint.

Lorraine opens up about her struggles, including filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy after building a successful business, and the emotional lessons she gained from surrendering to that experience. She emphasizes the importance of checking in with yourself, especially during difficult times, and shares how self-awareness and compassion are essential for true personal and professional transformation. Her message is clear: emotions are not wrong, the pause is powerful, and getting curious about yourself can radically shift your life.
