In this deeply heartfelt episode, Lisane Basquiat sits down with emotional resilience strategist, author, and founder of Collective Resiliency, Denita Austin. From her early days at NASA to leading sacred spaces for women’s healing, Denita shares her remarkable journey of transformation—from structure to soul.


Key Topics:

Creating safe, ego-free spaces for women to unmask and be seen
The importance of emotional resilience, self-reflection, and vulnerability
How women can support one another more authentically
The danger of armor: titles, personas, and detachment
Why asking “How’s your heart space?” matters more than ever


Highlights:
“I’m not hiding my smile. I’m going to be happy—even if it makes you uncomfortable.”
“We lose sight of our softness. We forget how we supported each other as children.”
“Let’s take off the title. Who are you without it?”
