Breaking the Glass Vase: A Story of Transformation and Empowerment
Episode 156 with Dima Ghawi
Highlights
[00:02:33] Advancing individuals in leadership.
[00:12:48] Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
[00:33:06] The pressure to be perfect.
In this episode, Keynote Speaker/Leadership Consultant/Author, Dima Ghawi, underscores the importance of advancing individuals in leadership to cultivate a world where leaders prioritize the well-being and growth of their teams, embrace diversity, and work towards a common goal of creating a better future for all.
This story highlights the importance of setting intentions and visualizing one's aspirations. By putting her desire on the vision board, Dima planted the seed for her TEDx speaking opportunity. The vision board served as a constant reminder of her goal, keeping it at the forefront of her mind. It ultimately led her to take action and pursue the speaking opportunity, showcasing how vision boards can help turn dreams into reality.
Breaking Away from Harmful Beliefs and Expectations
In the podcast episode with Dima Ghawi, she shared a powerful story from her childhood about a glass vase that symbolized the pressure to be perfect and conform to societal expectations. This story highlights the harmful beliefs and expectations that can limit personal growth and success. Dima's experience of being conditioned to be the "perfect glass vase" led her into an abusive marriage and a state of depression, where she lost herself in trying to meet external standards.
However, Dima's journey took a transformative turn when she realized she had a choice: to either maintain the facade of perfection or shatter the glass vase to create a new life. She chose to break free from the constraints of societal norms and expectations, even though it came with consequences like facing death threats from her own father. Despite the challenges, Dima's decision to challenge and break away from these harmful beliefs and expectations allowed her to live a better life and influence others positively.

Becoming Changemakers: Transforming Lives Through Collective Healing
Episode 154 with Dr. Dominica McBride
Topics Discussed
Healing plays a vital role in personal and community transformation, as discussed in the podcast episode featuring Dr. Dominica McBride. Dr. McBride underscores the significance of healing in the context of leadership development and community empowerment, drawing from her own upbringing in a small rural town marked by both positive and negative community dynamics, including racism and discrimination. These experiences shaped her understanding of the impact of community dynamics, sparking her interest in psychology and community healing.
Dr. McBride's organization, BECOME, is dedicated to fostering community transformation and collective healing. Through their work with organizations and individuals, they strive to address deep-seated issues that hinder communities and individuals from thriving. Their approach involves developing solutions, strategies, and shared aspirations to bring about positive change. Evaluation and research are utilized to track progress and ensure success in building flourishing communities.
Healing is woven into the fabric of the organization's efforts at both the organizational and neighborhood levels. Dr. McBride stresses the importance of healing as a leadership skill, underscoring the need for individuals to confront internal struggles, trauma, and obstacles to unlock their full potential as leaders and change agents. The healing process is viewed as essential for individuals to embrace their power and make positive contributions to their communities.
Moreover, the podcast delves into the value of pausing and reflecting, allowing individuals to process emotions, insights, and experiences. By incorporating healing practices into leadership development, individuals can cultivate resilience, empathy, and self-awareness—qualities crucial for effective leadership and community transformation.
In essence, integrating healing into leadership development is pivotal for personal growth, community empowerment, and collective transformation. By acknowledging and addressing internal wounds, individuals can become more effective leaders, fostering positive change and nurturing thriving communities.
The podcast episode also highlights the profound impact intentional pauses can have on our well-being. Dr. Dominica McBride emphasizes the importance of pausing in our lives to reflect, heal, and grow. She shares an instance where her team engaged in circle practice, incorporating a pause with the use of chimes to facilitate deeper reflection and emotional processing. This intentional pause allowed individuals to tap into deep wisdom, sit with tension, and fully absorb shared experiences.
Additionally, the concept of the "pregnant pause" is discussed, emphasizing how pauses can lead to significant outcomes. The host of the podcast acknowledges the power of pausing in her own life, taking breaks from social media to focus on specific goals and projects. By intentionally stepping back from distractions and taking time to pause, she was able to manifest new opportunities and delve deeper into her passions, such as art curation.
Incorporating intentional pauses into our daily routines can promote self-care, mental clarity, and personal growth. By allowing ourselves the space to pause, reflect, and process our experiences, we create opportunities for healing and transformation. Pauses serve as moments of introspection, enabling us to connect with our inner selves, identify areas for improvement, and set intentions for the future. Ultimately, intentional pauses can lead to deeper self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal development.
Dreams Realized Through Perseverance, Passion, and Dedication
Dr. Dominica McBride shares her journey of achieving her dreams through perseverance, passion, and dedication in the podcast episode. She highlights how her aspirations of raising a family, establishing an organization like Become, and authoring a book all came to fruition through her unwavering commitment and hard work.
Dr. McBride's story exemplifies how dreams can be realized by staying dedicated to one's goals and being passionate about making a difference in the community. Her organization, Become, which focuses on community transformation and healing, showcases the impact that can be made when dreams are pursued with determination and perseverance.
Through her work and personal experiences, Dr. McBride emphasizes the importance of unlocking one's potential, assuming leadership roles, and becoming agents of change in their communities. By pursuing her dreams and staying true to her vision, she has been able to create a positive impact not only in her own life but also in the lives of others, particularly women of color.
The key takeaway from Dr. McBride's journey is that dreams can indeed be realized through perseverance, passion, and dedication. By remaining focused on their goals, individuals can achieve significant and impactful outcomes not only in their own lives but also in the communities they serve. Dr. McBride's story serves as an inspiration for others to pursue their dreams with determination and unwavering commitment, knowing that with perseverance and dedication, anything is possible.
