This episode is dedicated to helping women who feel unhappy despite having a "good life." We dive deep into trauma recovery and building resilience, ensuring you work smarter, not harder, to create a transformational life you love.

Understanding Trauma Recovery in Leadership

Picture this: a heavy weight lifted off your shoulders, the kind of relief you feel when you finally take off uncomfortable high heels after a long day. Effective trauma recovery can do that for you. As a leader, acknowledging and addressing your trauma can transform both your professional and personal lives in unimaginable ways. When you take steps towards healing, you become more empathetic and resilient, guiding yourself through challenges with newfound clarity and calm.

Meet Emma, who stood in front of a mirror, adjusting her blazer for the millionth time, muttering, "You've got this." Despite her rising anxiety, she faced her fears head-on and nailed her presentation, feeling like she had conquered a mountain. Remember Emma's inner pep talk the next time you're in a similar spot because you've got this, too.

Harnessing Choice Bias for Growth

Imagine the joy of choosing your own adventure, where every decision leads to a treasure trove. Start by picking your rewards. After a tough meeting, treat yourself to a walk in the park or savour your favourite snack. These small self-choice rewards can make a big difference. Be flexible with your choices, understanding that while choice bias gives you a sense of control, it's okay to adapt and appreciate what comes your way.

Julia's story reminds us that sometimes others see our potential before we do. Embrace your next big opportunity, even if it scares you.

Building Resilience in Your Surroundings

Your resilience directly impacts the people around you, creating a ripple effect of positivity and strength. When you model healthy coping strategies and recovery, you inspire those around you to do the same. Encourage people to make their own choices, fostering a culture where everyone feels valued and motivated.

Rachel, a startup's chief operating officer, decided to set strict boundaries, delegate more, and schedule time with her family.
