    The Science and Soul of Breaking Generational Cycles and Creating New Legacies with Dr. Jasmine Escalera

    This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson is joined by Dr. Jasmine Escalera, who is a spiritual neuroscientist and founder of the Institute for Generational Healing. Dr. Escalera’s work helps people uncover the inherited beliefs, behaviors, and survival patterns that have been passed down through generations often without us even realizing it. By blending neuroscience, ancestral wisdom, and transformational healing, she helps individuals move from survival mode to intentional living.

    The Moment You Realize Achievement Isn't the Same as Fulfillment with Becky Estby

    This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson is joined by Becky Estby, who is the CEO of Next Monday, leadership consultant, executive coach, and author of the upcoming book Uncommon Courage. After years of working in senior HR and organizational development roles, Becky noticed a pattern among high-achieving women: many were succeeding professionally while quietly struggling with self-doubt, burnout, and a sense of misalignment. Today, she helps women challenge the belief that they are the problem and instead redefine success, courage, and belonging in ways that honor who they truly are. If you've ever questioned whether success should feel different, this conversation is for you.
