The LinkedIn™ Lounge Podcast

Mike Swartz of Empowerment Consulting joins me to discuss mental fitness, self-sabotage, and what it means to take greater ownership of how we show up in our lives. Mike shares how coaching transformed his own life through some of its most challenging moments and explains why mental fitness is less about “doing more” and more about building simple practices that help us stay grounded, present, and intentional.
