Launched another new episode of my podcast Soul Purpose Leadership today in honor of being just FIVE days out from taking a second spin on the TEDx stage!
Today’s solo episode is called “My TEDx Journey: The Lessons of Using My Voice as a Leader” and I hope you’ll pause your scroll to stop + search for it over on your podcast app (just search Soul Purpose Leadership). Today is all about my journey in creating my TEDx - 5 days out from my 2nd TEDx ever at Texas A+M on April 7!
This journey has been so profound since my last time taking the TEDx stage in 2019 and today I’m getting raw + giving you my journey of cultivating my speech. My speech is called the Chemistry of Resilience and is about understanding what healthy resilience is through my very own story.
One thing I’ve learned… when you are cultivating yourself as a speaker by articulating your message to allow others to create transformation… YOU transform. And that’s what’s happened to me over the years. On April 7th, I’m bringing to the stage this culmination of my life!
From the logistics of crafting more articulate and potent messages, to the emotions of navigating shame, guilt, and old wounds/triggers as I navigate the story of my life - I can’t wait for you to dig into today’s episode and follow along with my TEDx journey!
After all… we are ALL speakers. How we articulate and communicate directly impacts our relationships - and relationships are the stuff life is built on! We should desire to refine the craft of communication to serve our relationships.
I’ve learned a LOT - but at the end of the day, I’m human. And I FEEL human going into a speech. Yes, even I get nervous… tune in to today’s episode to hear my thoughts on this!
This message of the Chemistry of Resilience and all the fears I’ve moved through to get to this point… for YOU. Ted X. April 7. Here. We. Go.
My TEDx Journey: The Lessons of Using My Voice as a Leader is now available on the Soul Purpose Leadership podcast!

We are BACK with Episode 93 of Soul Purpose Leadership and today we’re talking Smart Business: The unexpected truths of Leading a Successful (and fun) Business with Ben Albert!
Ben is the owner of Balbert Marketing LLC.  He is also the curator of The “Real Business Connections Network,” where he hosts five podcasts. Once an underdog, now a successful entrepreneur, Ben is passionate about helping other underdogs achieve their dreams. Ben is on a mission to actually move the needle on one million lives, one conversation at a time.
Why move the needle for someone else? “I don’t want other to feel small,” says Ben, who bravely shares his story with us today.
In this episode we discuss how to actually move the needle in someone else’s life. “It’s really about being a bridge… getting the wisdom, the knowledge, the stories, the success - from the people who have it, to the people who are looking for it.” -Ben Albert 
Ben also talks with us about getting real with himself and going from zero to hero… from average to actually excelling… and the things he subtracted from his life which made space for exponential growth! What do you need to subtract?
We chat about imposter syndrome, too, and get this: “If your actions - your moments - your life is misaligned with who you’re trying to become you’re going to feel like an imposter.” Mic drop, Ben!
And of course, we discuss success in business where Ben graciously shares from his personal experience: “No one was coming to save me... I had to stop making excuses and take personal responsibility.” -Ben on when he decided to take the plunge and move his needle, asking for help, and investing in mentorship.
Lastly, we discuss the key (or lack of?) to success, staying curious, and growing in emotional and tactical connections along with Ben’s top marketing strategies!

Still buzzing from getting to host Dr. Caroline Leaf on my podcast this week, and such an important, life-saving topic… mental health + our children.
Dr. Leaf needs no introduction, but for the record - she is a communication pathologist, audiologist, clinical and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. 
Basically, when Dr. Leaf talks, we better be listening! 
It’s not an easy truth to face, but according to Dr. Leaf and research, children are now worse off than adults regarding mental health. “The mental health crisis that we are sitting with now is actually a symptom of something much larger - and that much larger crisis is one I believe of mind management,” says Dr. Leaf.
Dr. Leaf discusses everything from helping parents to help with our child mental health crisis, to the immune system of our minds. We discuss a shift from a more holistic approach over the decades to one of diagnosis, labeling, and suppression, and how diagnosis versus description masks resilience. “No child is trying to be difficult. They’re trying to process life.” -Dr. Caroline Leaf.
We also discuss neurocycles and Dr. Leaf’s new book, Mentally Resilient Kids. “Your brain is always changing, your body is always changing, your mind is always changing because you are always changing… because life is always changing.” Well said, Dr. Leaf!
Thanks listeners for your faithfulness in tuning in, rating, and sharing about Soul Purpose Leadership. It’s because of YOU that we get to host renowned guests like Dr. Caroline Leaf!
