    Season 2 Episode 6 | Closing the Year Intentionally: Why Slowing Down Is a Founder’s Greatest Advantage

    Send us a text Season 2 Episode 6 | Closing the Year Intentionally:Why Slowing Down Is a Founder’s Greatest Advantage Welcome home, inspired entrepreneurs. As we wrap up an incredible second season, we are closing out with a conversation that serves as the perfect bridge into your end-of-year reflection. In this season finale, Deborah sits down with Leslie Valmonte—systems strategist, educator, and founder of Bridge5D—to explore why the "power of pause" isn’t just a luxury; it is a leader’s most competitive advantage. Leslie opens up about the pivotal moments that shifted her perspective: ●The High Cost of Speed: Losing the memories of her daughter’s early years to the consulting hustle. ●The "Lupus Dance": How chronic illness became a forced invitation to lead with health first. ●Human-Centered AI: Why the future of technology must be built on empathy, not just efficiency. ●The Jack of All Trades: Why adaptability is the new "mastery" in a shifting labor market. From the intersection of AI literacy to the sacredness of a family dinner table, Leslie’s story is a roadmap for any founder ready to stop reacting and start creating from clarity. In This Season Finale, We Explore: 🔹 What does the power of pause mean to you as a leader in systemic reform and innovation? 🔹 What have you witnessed as the cost of moving too fast — in systems and in people? 🔹 Where does humanity fit in the age of AI, and how can technology be used to close opportunity gaps? 🔹 How do we measure “finishing well” when our systems are constantly evolving? 🔹 If we reframed “pause” as a leadership tool rather than a slowdown, 🔹 how would that change how we design organizations? 🔹 How can intentional reflection prepare the next generation for a rapidly changing world of work? 🔹 How do we keep data human — ensuring it tells the real story rather than erasing it? 🔹 What practices personally help you pause and stay grounded in purpose? 🔹 What shifts do you see ahead for small business owners and entrepreneurs as AI transforms the future of work? 🔹 What final message would you share with leaders closing out the year — about finishing well and starting fresh with integrity and heart? 🔗 Connect with Leslie Valmonte Bridge5D Consulting: 👉 https://www.bridge5dconsulting.com/ LinkedIn: 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-valmonte/ 🔗 Connect with Us: Website: www.inspired-bp.com Instagram: @inspiredbusinessperformance Facebook: @deborahannhartnett ✨ Ready to Build with Intention?

    Send us a text Why Your Gratitude Practice Isn’t Working — And What’s Possible When It Does Most people think they’re practicing gratitude… but they’re really just thinking grateful thoughts.

In this episode, I break down the moment I realized I had gratitude completely backwards — and how one small, unexpected moment in my kitchen showed me what embodied gratitude actually is.  Embodied gratitude isn’t a mindset exercise.

How to Lead with Presence in the Age of AI In a world obsessed with speed, data, and optimization, we’re losing touch with the most powerful business system we have—one that AI can never replicate. It’s not in your tech stack or your strategy doc. It’s the quiet, intelligent wisdom beating in your chest. Have you ever had an opportunity that looked perfect on paper, but a whisper in your heart said, “something’s off”? That’s Heart Intelligence. And learning to trust it is your ultimate edge. In this episode, we move beyond intuition as a “vibe” and dive into the tangible science and soul of leading from the heart. We’ll explore how this inner guidance system shapes your decisions, your leadership, and your ability to create true resonance in a noisy world. 𝗜𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝗪𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲: 🔹 The Real Science: The physiological proof from neurocardiology and the HeartMath Institute that your heart is a functional brain, sending more signals to your head than it receives. 🔹 The Spiritual Foundation: What ancient traditions—from Yogic chakras to Chinese Qi—have always known about the heart as the bridge between the human and the divine. 🔹 The Business Strategy: Why heart-led leaders outperform their peers in talent retention, resilience, and long-term success (backed by data from Harvard Business Review and McKinsey). 🔹 Your Practical Toolkit: Two simple, 60-second practices to immediately integrate heart intelligence into your decision-making and leadership presence. “When your heart and mind align, you don't just think differently, you lead differently. That alignment is what gives rise to embodied decision-making—the kind you'll use every single day in business.” 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘀: 00:00 Welcome to Your Sanctuary 02:02 The Collaboration That “Looked Perfect” 04:03 The Science: Your Heart is a Brain 10:22 The Energetic Field of Influence 16:52 The Spiritual Wisdom of the Heart 19:32 60 Sec Alignment Practice 21:28 Bringing It All Together. 22:39 Coming Up Next week 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽?
