    Episode 80: A Surprisingly Fun Conversation About Dying with No Regrets, with Jodi Wellman

    How many Mondays do you have left? You’re about to find out. Coach and author, Jodi Wellman and I hang out with the Grim Reaper in today’s conversation. We start with a pre-mortem, a pulse check of where you are right now, while you’re still on this side of the lawn. What areas of your life are in the Dead Zone? What teeny tiny steps can you take right now to zhuzh up those parts that are ho-hum? You’ll rate yourself on Jodi’s Astonishingly Alive quadrant and discover if it’s more meaning or fun (or both) that will defibrillate your existence. Uplifting and thought-provoking.  Links Jodi Wellman’s website (includes book and QUIZ) Jodi Wellman on Instagram Mandy Lehto on Instagram Zizou and Roger Federer video Episode 62 of Enough, the Podcast We Croak app 3:11 Jodi and Mandy riff on why they think so much about death. 10:11 “Fine” is the most dangerous f-word.

    Episode 78: The Secret Language of the Body, with Jen Mann. Unresolved feelings of not-enoughness and emotional repression caused my chronic illness. Vagal tone & somatic experiencing helped

    Today's guest is Jen Mann, ex-ballet dancer and co-author of the international best-seller, The Secret Language of the Body. In this conversation we discuss how Jen’s early life contributed to the perfectionism, people-pleasing and self-criticism that would ultimately end in chronic illness that traditional medicine was unable to solve. Frustrated and anxious, Jen started connecting the dots between the mind-body cross-over with the clients she was supporting after her ballet career ended. She pieced together insights on how to heal herself by increasing her vagal tone and somatic experiencing, alongside talk therapy and physio. She shares 3 key tips for longer-term healing, as well as 5 practical things you can do right away to decrease your perception of stress during days of back-to-back meetings. 3:52 My childhood was a perfect set up for anxiety 9:21 Jen becomes a professional ballet dancer 13:31 What came after Jen’s ballet career  14:50 Jen spots connections between her clients’ work stress and their physical pain 16:00 The symptoms she was seeing in her clients – and how her own chronic illness symptoms started 20:50 Unresolved feelings of not-enoughness and emotional repression cause illness 25:40 Jen’s body said “Enough!” 28:42 Window of Tolerance 35:17 Conventional medicine didn’t work for Jen, and what she discovered instead 39:57 Vagal tone 44:39 Three tips for longer-term change 51:15 Five strategies you can use at work to soothe your nervous system during hectic days 1:03 Jen’s Brick of Wisdom Links: Jen Mann and Karden Rabin’s website (with book and program) Jen Mann on Instagram Mandy Lehto on Instagram Episode 55 with Tatiana Poliakova

  3. Episode 77: Sub-routines, Ancestry, and your Leadership, with Jerry Colonna. The more I shone, the worse I felt. It was safer to be anxious than angry. Belonging, good-enoughness, and Jerry’s core question for sitting in stillness.

    Episode 77: Sub-routines, Ancestry, and your Leadership, with Jerry Colonna. The more I shone, the worse I felt. It was safer to be anxious than angry. Belonging, good-enoughness, and Jerry’s core question for sitting in stillness.

    What are sub-routines? Author, coach, and “CEO Whisperer” Jerry Colonna adopts a term from computer programming, referring to the software that runs under an application, likening this to our belief systems laid down early in life. Jerry uses radical self-inquiry on me (unexpectedly) to probe my belief of “I must be constantly productive to be worthy” – a common sub-routine in high-achievers. Jerry invites us to consider the beliefs we’ve inherited from our ancestors in attempts to belong (as well as the subroutines those ancestors might’ve been running). How might these sub-routines be running under your leadership? We end with Jerry’s suggested practice and the core question to use in your own self-inquiry. The vibe of this episode? Deep, reflective, thought-provoking.  *Explicit. Mentions suicide.  4:03 Mandy’s Sedona ancestry experience 9:54 What does ‘belonging’ mean? – “To whom do I belong as a white, cis-gender man?” 11:50 Radical self-inquiry 14:55 Who am I? How did I come to be? Why do I do things that I do? 15:24 Sub-routines 17:20 Jerry’s career in VC (and working himself to death) 20:25 Examples of sub-routines 24:30 How Jerry worked through his sub-routines 30:00 Jerry does radical self-inquiry on Mandy 35:07 Behaviours persist when they provide a benefit 47:09 Relevance of sub-routines to working life 47:45 Jerry’s suggestion of what you can try – his core question to sit with 52:55 Jerry’s Brick of Wisdom Links: Jerry Colonna’s Reboot website.

    Episode 76: High-Functioning Anxiety, with psychologist Dr Lalitaa Suglani. Masking sensitivity, ADHD, and strong emotions. Where HFA comes from, the signs, and what you need to know

    What is high-functioning anxiety? Dr Lalitaa Suglani takes us through everything you need to know – how HFA shows up day to day; where it comes from; and what you can do if you think you might have HFA. Dr Suglani is an award-winning psychologist and author of High-Functioning Anxiety: A 5-step guide to calming the inner panic and thriving (Hay House). We get into Dr Lalitaa’s own story of how HFA masked her dyslexia, ADHD, and how perfectionism and people-pleasing were running her life. She shares key actions you can start implementing right away if you recognize HFA in your own life. Poignant and practical. Join us! 1:43 What is HFA? 3:14 What would you be seeing day to day at work with something who has HFA?  4:28 Does HFA show up the same way for men and women? 6:38 Where HFA might come from. 8:06 Lalitaa’s own story. 15:48 Steps to kick off the “unlearning” part of the process. 19:51 Noticing when you’re catastrophising, and when dysregulation. Shadow work. 22:35 Conscious change. Learning to connect with the body. 26:13 How to sit in difficult emotions. 29:45 Coaching question 1 about people pleasing, being taken advantage of, and resentment. How to shift this. 32:22 Coaching question 2 about fear of confrontation and never learning to use one’s voice. 38:18 Coaching question 3 about having ridiculously high standards. Lowering those standards feels like “I can’t hack it.” Intention instead of anxiety. 39:46 Lalitaa’s brick of wisdom.
