Are you letting self-doubt, over-explaining, or other people's opinions keep you small? Not on Niyc Pidgeon's watch. This episode is all about stepping into your power, shifting your mindset, and harnessing the science of success to create a life that actually excites you.

Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with Niyc Pidgeon, an award-winning positive psychologist, best-selling author, and high-performance business mentor, to explore the psychology behind resilience, joy, and confidence. Author of Now Is Your Chance and Unstoppable Success, Niyc has helped thousands of people rewire their thinking and create their best lives.

  • The ripple effect of awe – How small moments of joy can transform your energy (and impact 135 people around you!).
  • What’s your Organizing Principle? – The hidden force guiding your choices, and how to harness it for success.
  • The power of curiosity – How asking better questions can lead to deeper connections and greater clarity.
