Too often, the traits we’re taught to tone down are the very ones that can drive our boldest breakthroughs. In this powerful episode, we explore what it truly means to lead and live with wild courage. Dismantling conventional career advice, Jenny Wood champions a more audacious path to success, one built on traits long considered too disruptive or inappropriate to embrace.

Jenny Wood is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and former Google executive who built one of the company’s largest career development programs. Her new book, Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It, dives into nine controversial traits, from reckless to bossy, that ambitious professionals can reclaim and reframe to be better leaders and reach their full potential. With a background in research at Harvard Business School and features in Forbes, HBR, and Bloomberg, Jenny brings both insight and irreverence to the table, along with a serious talent for cutting through the noise. Through stories both personal and professional, Jenny illustrates how fear of failure, uncertainty, and judgment often keeps us playing small. Whether it’s chasing down a stranger on a subway (now her husband), asking a C-suite executive for mentorship, or launching a career-defining program at Google, she shows how reclaiming so-called negative traits like "shameless" or "reckless" can become a source of power and clarity. This episode is a candid, empowering reminder that growth begins on the edge of discomfort. Jenny shares tools to rewrite the internal stories that hold us back, and reframes boldness as a skill that can be practiced, not just a trait you’re born with.

If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission and start leading with more courage in your career and life, this conversation is a must-listen!

Key Highlights From This Episode:

• What inspired Wild Courage and the bold subway moment that changed Jenny’s life. [04:35]
• How fear showed up again and again in Jenny’s coaching with professionals. [07:41]
• Enacting wild courage and why it might be more challenging for certain groups. [11:50]
• The nine controversial traits of wild courage and how to reframe and reclaim them. [12:41]
• How the seeds were planted for wild courage in Jenny’s childhood. [15:21]
• Ways that shame holds us back and tips for de-shaming your language. [19:45]
• A candid look at how overthinking fuels self-judgment and fear. [24:29]
• Tools and internal resources to reframe fear, shame, and self-doubt. [27:15]
• The reckless trait, why Jenny struggles with it, and how she’s learned to embrace it. [32:01]
• Why we need to give ourselves permission to be selfish, reckless, and bossy. [36:53]

Key Quotes from today’s episode:

“The same theme kept coming up when people felt stuck [and] that theme was fear: fear of failure, fear of uncertainty, and fear of judgment [from] others.” — @itsjennywood [0:08:28]

“You don't need permission from somebody else to do these things, to take these bold actions.” — @itsjennywood [0:28:23]

“That same bravery, that same wild courage that pushed me to make that ask, is the same wild courage that pushes me to make other asks or requests or bold moves, and then sometimes they work out!” — @itsjennywood [0:31:33]

“It's better to learn from your mistakes than to waste time predicting the consequences of every possible decision or outcome. So, think fast and fearless, and if you're on the fence, do it.” — @itsjennywood [0:32:29]

“I have found that when I have been the most successful, it's [been] because I was willing to be on the edge of discomfort.” — @itsjennywood [0:32:53]

“There's this disconnect between what's real and what we feel, and that's why I say ‘we have to give permission to ourselves to be selfish, to be reckless, to be bossy.’” — @itsjennywood [0:39:02]

If your go-to stress strategies aren’t cutting it anymore, you’re not alone, and there’s a reason for that. Today on Finding Brave, we’re joined by deeply inspiring The Stress Coach, Jordan Friedman, to explore what really works for managing stress during high-anxiety times and why most stress-reduction methods miss the mark.

With over 30 years of experience, Jordan’s science-backed, creative approach has helped thousands reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and regain control. A former Director of Columbia University’s Health Education Program and author of The Stress Manager’s Manual, Jordan is also the voice behind The Chill Factory podcast and app. His unique work blends evidence-based techniques with creativity and humor, including offering guided "chill tours" through Central Park to help groups manage stress in fun, unexpected ways.

In this episode, we dig into why so many stress-reduction methods fail us during uncertain times and what we can do differently to support our nervous systems. Jordan breaks down what happens to the body and mind in extended states of anxiety and offers practical, sustainable strategies for managing stress.

Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek into our upcoming Central Park Calm Retreat on June 13th, 2025 - co-hosted by Jordan and myself - where participants will experience these transformative practices firsthand in the amazingly beautiful urban oasis of NYC’s Central Park.

Whether you're supporting a stressed-out team, raising anxious kids, or looking for ways to stay steady and nurture your own calm and wellbeing, this episode offers the clarity and calm you've been searching for!

Key Highlights From This Episode:

• The remarkable personal story that led Jordan to his work in stress management. [05:11]
• Hidden stressors in today’s unpredictable world and their impact on your health. [15:40]
• How cutting back on news, TV, and social media can help ease stress. [20:39]
• Why so many stress reduction methods fail (and what to do instead). [25:38]
• Practical strategies for effective, long-term stress management. [30:03]
• The science behind Jordan’s potent ‘Mod Squad’ stress-reduction technique. [35:11]
• Ways that community and support help mitigate fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. [41:55]

Quotes:

“Stress on its own is not a bad thing. Stress is really important. It’s a vital part of life. It saves us from getting hit by cars, it helps us focus on – solving problems. But when stress becomes a way of life instead of a part of life, – that’s when we see more of the problems.” — Jordan Friedman [0:20:13]

“Yes, meditating can help you feel calmer. It can take the edge off [your] stress and anxiety, but if that stress and anxiety continues to flow into your life – you might get into a situation where meditation isn’t enough.” — Jordan Friedman [0:26:52]

“Something we get wrong – is that we’re putting band aids on things that need more attention than a band aid.” — Jordan Friedman [0:27:25]

“We have great control over our fight or flight responses; maybe not initially when we’re first slammed with the stressor, but pretty soon after, the way we think about things [and] what we do can help us get back on our feet and move in a clearer, more confident, less stressed way.” — Jordan Friedman [0:34:37]

“It’s not only about changing your life situations to stop the fire hydrant of stress. It’s also doing things to – keep your roots solid; breathing, sleeping, exercise, all of it.” — Jordan Friedman [0:38:34]

“Reliable, predictable things in your life, [like] going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, – will help counter a lot of the lack of predictability that causes so much stress in the world.” — Jordan Friedman [0:44:09]

What if the key to career growth isn’t doing more but recognizing what you’ve already achieved? Today on Finding Brave, we’re joined by inspiring author and career coach Octavia Goredema to discover how true visibility begins with valuing yourself.

Octavia is the CEO of Fire Memos, a passionate advocate for helping people unlock their full potential at work, the author of PREP, PUSH, PIVOT, and host of two Audible Originals, Brand Yourself for Success and How to Change Careers. Previously featured on Finding Brave (check out Episode 248!), she returns to share new insights on personal branding, professional visibility, and why it’s more important than ever to own your worth and leverage more fully your amazing talents, abilities and experiences.

In this episode, you’ll learn why great work alone isn’t enough to stand out in today’s competitive job market and how many high performers remain invisible despite their incredible contributions. We also unpack the connection between visibility and self-recognition and how naming your strengths and tracking your accomplishments form the foundation of a strong personal brand.

Octavia also offers empowering tips on embracing personal branding without feeling “cringy,” even for those who avoid the spotlight, and shares the traits that define her own brand. (And the fascinating responses Octavia offered in answer to my impromptu question her own brand were very enlightening!).

Want to learn how to build a memorable personal brand that embodies who you truly are? Tune in today!

Key Highlights From This Episode:

• Why visibility begins with self-recognition (and why so many people struggle with this). [04:55]
• How naming your strengths, even the most obvious ones, is key to owning your worth. [08:43]
• Using discomfort as a diagnostic tool to guide your next steps and fuel growth. [17:23]
• The power of sharing your struggles: it might be the inspiration someone else needs! [21:45]
• Embracing authenticity and aligning your brand with who you truly are. [25:21]
• Tips for identifying the key traits of your personal brand and building a presence for it. [27:41]
• Redefining success by how you honor your own progress, not others' opinions of it. [39:38]

Quotes:

“Self-promotion can feel so hard, or cringy, or icky. To get past that feeling, we have to connect with ourselves. Before we can talk to anyone else, whether that's a co-worker, or our boss, or our networks about the work that we're doing, we have to recognize our value ourselves.” — @OctaviaGoredema [0:05:14]

“Personal branding starts with owning your narrative unapologetically.” — @OctaviaGoredema [0:16:18]

“Growth is so uncomfortable in the moment, but it's so important because that's actually what helps you identify where the misalignment is. You might not be able to snap your fingers and change it immediately, but it's giving you indicators.” — @OctaviaGoredema [0:19:50]

“Ultimately, what you're doing [in building a personal brand] is embodying who you are and building trust around who you are and what you do. It really is that simple.” — @OctaviaGoredema [0:27:03]

“If you are investing in [a social media presence], it’s not about likes and it’s not about the number of followers that you have. It's actually about the authenticity of what you share.” — @OctaviaGoredema [0:38:59]

“The [real] measure of success is taking the time to privately recognize your progress and to honor that and to celebrate that.” — @OctaviaGoredema [0:39:48]

If you still think of LinkedIn as nothing more than a job site or somewhere you go to upload your online resume, now is the time to update and expand your approach! Today on the show, we welcome LinkedIn insider Jon Lyndon for a deep dive into the evolution of LinkedIn and why we should all be using it as a human connection tool and a pathway to opportunity at scale. Having spent nearly a decade at LinkedIn, Jon is an expert in how to leverage the true power of the platform. He is the founder and CEO of Lyndon Consulting, where he works with global companies and executive leaders on their LinkedIn strategy, helping them rethink how they show up, connect, and lead in a digital world. He also advises professional athletes transitioning out of sport, guiding them in building strong personal brands. In our conversation, Jon breaks down the biggest misconceptions about LinkedIn. He unpacks how only using it as a job search leads you to lose out on key opportunities and explains powerfully why we can all afford to share more on LinkedIn — and why sharing doesn’t need to be inauthentic or boastful. Jon also offers his expert guidance on how to navigate LinkedIn when you’ve been let go from your job, and how to build greater trust, credibility, and clarity, so you’re connecting with inspiring people and learning from them, while building a mutually supportive and enriching community. We also discuss the power of LinkedIn recommendations, how trust equals consistency over time, the importance of getting clear on the outcomes you want to achieve on LinkedIn, and Jon’s transformative personal branding work with athletes. To hear the full scope of our conversation about LinkedIn and discover its full power as a human connection tool, be sure to tune in! Key Highlights From This Episode:

• Why you should keep your LinkedIn updated even if you have job security. [20:06]
• Advice on how to navigate LinkedIn and share after being laid off. [23:44]

Quotes:

“The way that I think about LinkedIn is [as] a human connection tool. It creates a pathway to opportunity at scale.” — Jon Lyndon [0:05:01]

“When we are sharing facts and stories, and things that we've accomplished — if we have an outcome that we want to come from that, it helps us be authentic, and it helps us to be confident about those things because it leads into something rather than just sharing to share.” — Jon Lyndon [0:18:33]

“When you begin to share those in the right way, other people then attach to those things, and they're relevant because they say, ‘Oh, I didn't know that about you, but this applies [to] my life because I'm going through this as well.’” — Jon Lyndon [0:19:14]

“You never know when [LinkedIn] might become relevant, it might not be a layoff, but you might want to start a new business.” — Jon Lyndon [0:22:59]

“If you're working in corporate and you're trying to sell products and services, there [are] ways that you can do it in a human, authentic, thought leader way that is still pretty much an untapped opportunity on LinkedIn for a lot of people.” — Jon Lyndon [0:43:43]

“If you know the outcomes, and you're clear about what they are in any area of your life, then creating the pathway to get there becomes so much easier.” — Jon Lyndon [0:50:18]

The moment you choose to change your relationship to money is the moment you change every single generation ahead of you.

In this episode of Finding Brave, top financial wellbeing speaker, multi-award-winning Financial Coach, and international author Catherine Morgan joins us to talk about a vitally important topic: when money feels dangerous and how to heal our survival response to wealth.

A Financial Wellbeing Speaker, multi-award-winning Financial Coach, and international author of the bestselling book It's Not About the Money, Catherine presents a trauma-informed psychological approach to money. As the founder of The Money Panel®, Catherine trains financial professionals through her acclaimed Financial Coach Certification program, and works with consumers through empowering courses and retreats.  Recognized as one of the top 32 female entrepreneurs by Business Leader, her expertise has been featured in a wide array of top media and her podcast It’s Not About The Money is in the top 0.5% in the world.

Catherine’s journey into financial coaching began with her own realization of how emotions and money are deeply connected. She unpacks the hidden blueprint of abundance that we inherit, particularly from maternal relationships, and how these subconscious beliefs can impact our financial well-being.

We also discuss the core beliefs that influence financial health, as well as the new paradigms of wealth, expansion, and contraction.

“The relationship we have with money is the relationship we have with ourselves and our identity and self-worth.” — @themoneypanel [0:16:40]

“Somewhere underneath or in between those threads is this core belief that money is not safe for me - either to make or ask for it, or it’s not safe to keep it and hold it.  [0:21:40]

“It is key to recognize that money and the relationship you have to it is a survival response.” — @themoneypanel [0:24:09]

“The way that wealth has been created is not the way that wealth will be created. We are shifting into an entirely new paradigm” — @themoneypanel [0:26:11]

Conflict is a part of life, whether it’s in our relationships, workplaces, or even global politics, yet many of us either shy away from it or escalate it, leading to stress, resentment, and division. Today on Finding Brave, behavioral neurologist Dr. Joel Salinas joins us to discuss how we can navigate disagreement with confidence and resilience—and even turn it into a powerful tool for building stronger connections.

Dr. Salinas is a Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the co-author with Robert C. Bordone, of Conflict Resilience: Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In. In this fascinating book, Joel and Robert blend advanced conflict management strategies with cutting-edge neuroscience to introduce a simple yet powerful three-step framework for navigating everyday conflict.

In this episode, Dr. Salinas reveals how conflict resilience rather than resolution can transform the way we engage with disagreement. He also explores the impact of social isolation, our fear of discomfort, and how avoiding conflict can ultimately weaken both personal and professional relationships, all while offering practical tools to navigate tough conversations with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

Whether you struggle with difficult conversations or simply want to strengthen your relationships and your communication approach, this episode is filled with valuable insights to help you approach conflict with clarity, confidence, and bravery. Tune in now to start transforming the way you engage with disagreement.

Key Highlights From This Episode:

• Understanding the surprising link between connection and conflict. [04:42]
• How social isolation and polarization contribute to conflict avoidance. [09:14]
• Reasons that we often see the other person as “the problem” in a conflict. [12:47]
• Finding a balance between setting boundaries and engaging in difficult conversations.[15:10]
• Insight into the three key tenets of deep listening. [18:18]
• An example that illustrates how to navigate everyday conflict with resilience. [22:56]
• How to phrase questions in a way that invites productive conversation. [26:04]
• The uncertainty of conflict outcomes (and why that shouldn’t stop us). [28:16]
• Practical strategies to help you rewire your brain to handle conflict better. [31:02]
• Unpacking the benefits of conflict resilience and how you can start practicing today. [38:12]

QUOTES:

“You can't have an authentic relationship with somebody unless you're coming across and sorting through the differences we have. It's impossible to have one-to-one the exact same desires, interests, and contexts.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:07:26]

“When we're in a conflict situation, – it's very common that our first reaction is to see the other person as the problem. We want to take a stance that's more about agency and empowerment, starting with what you have control over: – your own relationship with conflict.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:14:24]

“A generous question begets a generous response – [Make] sure you're asking questions with the intent of understanding, not questions to harm the other person, put them down, or be overly defensive.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:22:18]

“Our brains evolved to be fortune-telling machines. It takes all our past experiences and memories to make predictions – and uses those predictions to make choices and take action – to help us survive and avoid danger. Out in the Savannah, that could have been helpful, – but it can be tricky when your brain is telling you interacting with somebody across lines of difference is a threat.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:29:22]

“It can be helpful to find the [bigger, better offer (BBO)]: what is the consequence or risk of me not engaging in this [difficult] conversation?” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:41:35]

“Part of building this mindset and skill set is a process of reprogramming and rewiring your brain.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:44:18]

What if the key to better relationships, deeper influence, and personal growth wasn’t about fixing problems, but about acknowledging and accepting others? Today on Finding Brave, we sit down with Dr. Caroline Fleck, a licensed psychologist, corporate consultant, and adjunct clinical instructor at Stanford University, to explore the transformative power of validation.

Dr. Fleck is a recognized expert in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), specializing in working with high-conflict individuals and organizations. Her insights on psychology and human behavior have been featured in major outlets such as The New York Times, Good Morning America, and The Huffington Post. Her new book, Validation: How the Skill Set That Revolutionized Psychology Will Transform Your Relationships, Increase Your Influence, and Change Your Life, challenges conventional communication habits and offers practical tools for fostering meaningful and productive connections.

In this episode, Dr. Fleck breaks down why validation is often misunderstood and why it’s a crucial skill for improving our personal and professional relationships. She shares how it differs from agreement, fosters emotional safety, and can lead to real behavior change. Using real-life examples, she demonstrates how validation can be a game-changer in parenting, leadership, and even high-stakes corporate environments.

We also explore the science behind validation and discover how mindfulness, understanding, and empathy form the foundation of meaningful human interaction. Tuning in, you’ll learn about the eight levels of validation, common mistakes people make when trying to be supportive, and simple shifts in communication that can dramatically improve trust and influence. Whether you're tackling workplace challenges, parenting struggles, or relationship conflicts, this episode is packed with powerful, real-world strategies you can start using today!

Key Points From This Episode:

• [04:19] Why validation is not about agreement but acknowledging another’s experience
• [12:10] Acceptance as a powerful tool for change, especially in high-conflict situations.
• [14:00] Powerful validation skills that aren’t commonly taught (but should be).
• [16:36] Three key elements of validation: presence, understanding, and care.
• [22:10] How validation helped Dr. Fleck reconnect with her daughter after cancer treatment.
• [26:23] Making change easier by helping people accept their emotions as valid.
• [29:48] A CEO’s success story using validation to navigate workplace conflict.
• [36:37] Reasons that problem-solving often backfires when loved ones just want to be heard.
• [41:15] How validation fosters emotional safety and encourages open communication.

Quotes:

“Validation must be authentic. If it is not, then you're not validating the other person.” — Dr. Caroline Fleck [0:14:58]

“The first thing you need is mindfulness. You need to be – paying attention non-judgmentally. Through that process, you will – start to understand some part of that person's experience, be it their thoughts, emotions, or behavior.” — Dr. Caroline Fleck [0:16:02]

“Part of the reason [validation] is so transformative for folks, especially folks who have big emotions, is that it – makes it easier to work on change because you're able to accept that your emotions are valid.” — Dr. Caroline Fleck [0:28:03]

“Acceptance is a pathway to change.” — Dr. Caroline Fleck [0:30:46]

“If you open with what's valid and if you see some part of the other person, they're going to be much more open and receptive to collaborating [and] working with you.” — Dr. Caroline Fleck [0:34:04]

“Two-thirds of the time, when we go to people with our problems, we just want to be heard, see that they're valid, and [be] taken seriously.” — Dr. Caroline Fleck [0:40:58]

What does it take to create lasting change in an organization that is rooted in dignity, justice, and care? Too often, leadership and consulting focus on quick fixes instead of investing in deeper and necessary cultural shifts. Today, we explore how organizations can foster true transformation by embracing a more holistic approach and prioritizing what truly matters.

Our guest, Ora Grodsky, is a mission-driven consultant and author of the new book Justice, Love, and Organizational Healing. With over 25 years of experience, she helps social justice organizations repair harm, strengthen leadership, and align with their values. Drawing from a unique background in acupuncture, nonprofit management, and organizational development, Ora brings a holistic, human-centered approach to change. In today’s eye-opening conversation, Ora breaks down her approach to transformational consulting. She sees organizations as living systems where true change requires healing, connection, and cultural awareness. Quoting the Talmud, she reminds us: “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” This belief guides her work, helping organizations move beyond surface-level fixes to deep, justice-driven transformation.

She also explains how dominant cultural forces, including white supremacy, shape workplace dynamics and decision-making, before unpacking how organizations can begin to address and heal from these damaging patterns. By aligning values with action, she helps leaders create workplaces that don’t just function but truly embody justice and care.

Tune in for her powerful insights on how to build lasting, meaningful change together!

Key Points From This Episode:

• Ora’s unique background ranging from acupuncture to nonprofit management. [02:40]
• Insights from a profound quote in the Talmud included Ora’s book. [06:38]
• Ways that Ora’s background in acupuncture has shaped how she consults. [11:51]
• The three different types of consulting and the details of transformational consulting. [15:01]
• How Ora chooses which organizations to partner with: shared values and goals. [18:43]
• Types of organizations that Ora typically works with and the issues she addresses. [22:00]
• Where to start in the process of undertaking organizational change. [23:53]
• The hardest, most intractable problems Ora has come up against. [27:53]
• Recognizing how the culture of white supremacy has shaped organizational cultures. [31:12]
• Ora’s holistic understanding of systems, how it differentiates her as a consultant, and the top thing she wants listeners to take from her book. [35:50]

Quotes: 

“This comes from the Talmud, the Jewish text – ‘Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” — Ora Grodsky [0:06:40]

“That's how I see transformational consulting: [it means] creating spaces within which people can have the kind of process where they deeply connect to self, deeply connect to each other, and see a wider view of the system that they're in and how we got here.” — Ora Grodsky [0:16:51]

“Only looking at the single bottom line of ‘Where's profit?’ is what has gotten us to the verge of potential extinction with climate disaster; because we're looking for cheaper and faster. As long as we're [always] looking for cheaper and faster – we are not going to be here for too long.” — Ora Grodsky [0:19:26]

“I believe in working with people at all levels of an organization, but I do believe, as the crass saying goes, a fish rots from the head.” — Ora Grodsky [0:24:19]

“Urgency is really often something that comes with an attitude of dominance and subjugation, which I think is the root of white supremacy – the idea that some people deserve to ‘have’ and deserve resources and deserve to be human, and some people don't.” — Ora Grodsky [0:28:36]

“That dominance and subjugation ideology [at] the root of white supremacy is [often] what drives urgency: ‘We need to be better. We need to accumulate more. We need to do better, faster.’ There's so much pressure – for everyone, that letting go of that urgency is really hard.” — Ora Grodsky [0:28:55]

Hey, friends! 🎉 I’m thrilled to share an exciting milestone—today, my podcast Finding Brave celebrates its 300th episode!

This podcast journey since we launched in 2018 has been nothing short of incredible, and I’m so grateful for all your help in making this podcasting journey so meaningful.

I’m honored that, with 574+K downloads, Finding Brave is ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts and is in the top 1.5% of over 3.5 million podcasts globally. It’s also an award-winning program, featured on several important lists, such as Mac's List's Top Career Podcasts of 2024.

I couldn’t be prouder of these achievements, and I owe it all to two incredible groups of people:

Today’s show is a thought-provoking and heart-stirring compilation of insights from 15 guests who personally helped me grow through their discussions and shared wisdom. These thought leaders have spurred new thinking and shifted our mindsets, energy, work, and perspectives, helping us understand ourselves and the world in life-affirming ways.

All my guests on the show have touched and moved listeners in new ways as well, and I’m grateful to each and every one of them.

I’d love to hear from you too:

Quotes:

“Genius will show up to the extent that you woo it.” – Gay Hendricks [0:03:44]

“Ask a better question, get a better answer.” – Richie Norton [0:04:32]

“My voice is my power! This is my strength.” – Cheryl Porter [0:06:33]

“If we taught all of our children the full range of what it means to be human, then there wouldn’t be this false gender binary around what a man is and what a woman is in terms of the business context, communities, politics, or education.” – Mark Greene [0:07:26]

“If we see serendipity as ‘smart luck,’ as something where we have to see something in the moment and connect the dots, it’s about proactivity towards a random event versus blind luck, [which] is being born into a good family or something.” – Dr. Christian Busch [0:08:06]

“‘Start with heart’ – means learning to notice when your motives are off-track. When under threat, our motives become short-term. It’s about saving face, being right, winning, [and] punishing. It’s all about dealing with immediate emotional threat.” – Joseph Grenny [0:10:36]

“Choosing happiness isn’t denying sadness, anger, and challenges. It’s saying, ‘Okay, I have all of that but I’m not going to give any more power to [negativity] than is absolutely necessary.’” – Bronnie Ware [0:12:31]

“How we feel about money is a reflection on how we feel about ourselves. We give a lot of our power away by defining our sense of self-worth directly to money.” – Catherine Morgan [0:12:58]

“If there’s one thing that’s important for confidence at the moment of truth, it’s your willingness to look at what you have in your – mental bank account and say, ‘I am enough.’” – Dr. Nate Zinsser [0:15:07]

“I believe that the more we write in present tense, the more we live in present tense, the more present and less tense we are.” – Bruce Gelfend [0:17:14]

“When we hear the word sensitive, a lot of us think fragile, weak, or maybe someone who overreacts. That is not what sensitive means – Being sensitive means that you take in more information from the environment around you and you do more with it.” – Andre Sólo [0:19:05]

“People are a little bit more intuitive than they may even realize. We can point to certain – times in our life where, whether it was conscious or unconscious, – there was a deep conviction of the heart, something deep within us that – compelled us to act.” – Robb Holman [0:21:29]

“It’s like opening the fridge and smelling something is off. You go – ‘That cheese has gone moldy. Ew, gross! Let’s get it out of there.’ [Shame] is that obvious once you start to notice it.” – David Jurásek [0:23:12]

“Our feelings don’t just happen by themselves. They’re a byproduct – of our subconscious beliefs and we can override our subconscious beliefs with conscious intention.” – Finnian Kelly [0:24:05]

“We have the chance to change the story we’re rehearsing and not focus on the thing that’s not getting us what we want but focusing on a different origin story that could help us get what we want.” – Seth Godin [0:26:33]
