    The 1-in-4 Crisis: Navigating the Energetics of a Connected Culture w/ Jeff Hamaoui

    In the corporate world, friendship is often treated as a consequence of long hours together, not as a strategy for success. But Jeff Hamaoui, co-founder of the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), argues that connection has critical operational implications. In this episode, Jeff joins Corissa to discuss the 1-in-4 Crisis: the staggering reality that 25% of Americans have zero friends at work. They explore why professional distance is a liability and how prosocial leadership leads to higher retention, innovation, and a deeper sense of purpose. A self-described skeptic who once rolled his eyes at "shamans in smocks," Jeff shares how the death of his young friend Zach forced him to move from a head-centric worldview to a heart-centered faith. He breaks down friendship not just as a social activity, but as a practice of managing the energetic field between people. In this episode, we cover: Prosocial Companies: Why the data supports building friendlier workplaces to improve performance and innovation. The Skeptic’s Path: Jeff’s initial resistance to spiritual work and how grief became his most profound teacher. Managing the Field: How to view your relationships as an energetic entity that can be elevated or drained. Transcendent Connection: The sign Jeff’s friend Zach promised to send from the other side and how it realigned Jeff’s belief in the transcendent. Notable Quotes: "One in four Americans feels like they don't have a single friend at work... Just imagine how that feels." — Jeff Hamaoui  "Loneliness sits in the same part of the brain as hunger. We hunger for each other." — Jeff Hamaoui "There is a field that we co-create with people... the practice of friendship is about how do we manage that field?" — Jeff Hamaoui Resources & Links: Connect with Jeff at MEA: https://www.meawisdom.com/  Connect with Corissa: Explore the Advisory. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/advisory Inquire for Keynotes. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/speaking If this conversation awoke or inspired something in you, please consider leaving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more people.

    Scaling with Soul: The 5 Pillars of Leadership Evolution

    The hardest part of leadership isn't the strategy; it’s the psychology. It’s that messy middle ground where your external success collides with your internal reality. If you’re battling burnout, second-guessing your next move, or feeling the weight of your company's growth, it’s time to upgrade your internal operating system. In this solo episode, Corissa breaks down the 5 Core Pillars of Leadership Evolution. This is the deep, structural work required to scale your business and your life without losing your soul. From operationalizing intuition to navigating the "wintering" of leadership, this is your new manual for the journey ahead. In this episode, she covers: 1. Strategic Intuition Why intuition isn't woo-woo…it’s actually a distillation of your decades of experience and knowledge.Moving from over-management to feeling into your next strategic move.How to use movement (like dance or walking) to access hidden data in the body, featuring insights from Sue B. Zimmerman and Ting Ting Guan.2. Sustainable High Performance Why the "eternal spring" model of constant growth is a recipe for disaster.The concept of "wintering" in leadership: taking time to reflect rather than just produce, inspired by Sadie Lincoln.The cautionary tale of Marta Hobbs, who sold a billion-dollar company only to crash into a mental health crisis because she ignored the internal work during the race to exit.3. Navigating the Unknown How success often acts as a distraction from our shadow selves and inner demons.Insights from Adrian Grenier on exploring his inner demons and finding truth beyond fame.Understanding that your current leadership style is likely a blueprint of your childhood relational upbringing.4. Conscious Leadership Why the ego prefers familiarity over freedom, and how to break that pattern.Reclaiming your narrative and becoming the meaning-maker of your own life, featuring Tabatha Coffey’s journey of redefining labels.Moving beyond safety to explore the yearning for the unknown.5. Legacy & Impact Addressing the identity crisis you hit when you reach the summit but feel empty.The strategic upgrade from Hero (saving the day) to Sage (sharing the wisdom).Insights from Viveka von Rosen on shedding past professional identities to step into a new, authentic version of yourself.Notable Quotes: "The hardest part of leadership isn't the strategy. It's the psychology.""Your intuition is your knowledge base. It's that knowledge bank of information that we don't necessarily see on our spreadsheets.""It's not all growth. It can't always be growth. There have to be moments of reflection.""If you're putting off any of these things, just know that the next level of success is not going to solve any of that. It's all going to be there waiting for you.""Your legacy isn't just the company you built and the stock price, it’s in the actual impact you’ve had on the industry, your people... and on the planet."Connect with Corissa: Explore the Advisory. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/advisory Inquire for Keynotes. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/speaking If this conversation awoke or inspired something in you, please consider leaving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more people.

    The ROI of Relatefulness: How to Build Trust with Your Team w/ Jordan Myska Allen

    To most leaders, vulnerability in the workplace sounds like a liability…a quick way to lose your authority or your job. But Jordan Myska Allen, CEO of The Relateful Company and Uptrust, argues that honest relating is the ultimate competitive advantage. In this episode, Jordan joins Corissa to dismantle the self-help industry and replace it with "inter-self help." He explains why meditating on a cushion is easy, but maintaining that Zen while your boss demands impossible deadlines is the real spiritual practice. Jordan shares his journey from being the "weird guy" at parties staring into people’s eyes to building a tech platform designed to fix the internet’s polarization problem. Corissa and Jordan explore the concept of relational intelligence. They discuss the delicate art of being honest about workplace constraints (like why you can't just "ask for a raise" when layoffs are looming) and how to navigate the grief of outgrowing relationships as you evolve. In this episode, we cover: The Workplace Depth Myth: Why demanding deep authenticity in a competitive job might be setting you up for failure, and how to find the honest middle.Relatefulness 101: Moving beyond solo meditation to find God in the awkward, messy, beautiful interactions with other humans.The Weird Guy Phase: Jordan’s confession about his early days of over-relating (asking strangers about their trauma at parties) and how he found balance.Uptrust: A sneak peek at Jordan's new platform that incentivizes trust and nuance over rage-bait and polarization.The Grief of Growth: Why evolving spiritually often means losing the people who can no longer meet you there, and how to love them from a distance.Notable Quotes: "It's hard to be really open and authentic... when jobs are on the line and money's on the line." — Jordan Myska Allen"I don't know that there's anything to help, and I don't know what a self even really is." — Jordan Myska Allen"The true mysticism... is full engagement with full love emptiness." — Jordan Myska AllenResources & Links: Connect with Uptrust: https://uptrusthq.com/Connect with Corissa: Explore the Advisory. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/advisory Inquire for Keynotes. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/speaking If this conversation awoke or inspired something in you, please consider leaving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more people.

    The 11th Hour Trap: How to Stop Reacting to Noise and Start Filtering for Truth w/ Yolanda Lewis

    In a world saturated with data, AI, and external noise, the most valuable asset a leader possesses is discernment. But for many high-achieving founders and creatives, sensitivity feels like a liability…a porousness that leads to overwhelm rather than insight. In this episode, Yolanda Lewis, a hypnotherapist and somatic energy practitioner, joins Corissa to reframe sensitivity as a strategic advantage. They discuss the critical difference between being "at the effect" of your environment versus being the sovereign creator of it. Yolanda shares her journey of growing up with a mother diagnosed with schizophrenia, who she realized was simply highly attuned but ungrounded, and how that shaped her mission to teach energetic hygiene to leaders. Corissa and Yolanda dive deep into the mechanics of strategic intuition. They explore why so many leaders fall into the “11th Hour Trap" (waiting until a crisis to pivot) and how to use curiosity as an early-warning system. They also offer practical micro-rituals to reset your nervous system and filter out the distortion of the modern world. In this episode, we cover: The Empathy Trap: Why absorbing your team's energy isn't leadership, and how to seal your energetic field to maintain clarity.The 11th Hour: Why high performers often ignore the whispers of misalignment until they become a crisis, and how to catch them sooner.Technocratic Fatigue: Navigating the rise of AI and digital noise by reclaiming your internal authority and truth-testing.Micro-Rituals for Leaders: Simple, actionable practices (like the 10:10 alarm) to check in with your body and reset your focus throughout the day.Wave vs. Particle: A quantum perspective on decision-making and how to observe the potential (wave) before collapsing it into reality (particle).Notable Quotes: "If we do not understand how to use our discernment, then things like AI... have really turned up the level of need." — Yolanda Lewis"The change that we want to see is in here... Nothing changes until we change." — Yolanda Lewis"If something excites you, it’s for you. It’s like a notification on your phone... an internal notification." — Yolanda LewisResources & Links: Website: https://www.trinityholistichypnosis.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/trinityholistichypnosis/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrinityHolisticHypnosis-x6gBook a Session: https://bookme.name/trinityholistichypnosisConnect with Corissa: Explore the Advisory. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/advisory Inquire for Keynotes. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/speaking If this conversation awoke or inspired something in you, please consider leaving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more people.

    The Anxiety Antidote: How to Stop Fighting Your Nervous System w/ David Procyshyn

    To the millions of people who use his platform, Do Yoga With Me, David Procyshyn is a calm, grounded guide. But for decades, he lived with debilitating chronic anxiety; a constant, humming tension that he tried to escape through travel, extreme meditation retreats, and sheer force of will. In this episode, David joins Corissa to discuss the epidemic of high-functioning anxiety and the path to true nervous system regulation. He shares the story of his solo journey to South Africa at age 22, where he discovered that you can change your geography, but you can't outrun your mind. He also recounts his experience in 10-day silent retreats, meditating 11 hours a day to learn the simple, terrifying art of sitting with discomfort. Corissa and David dive into practical tools for the busy professional. They discuss why rapid breathing might be more effective than meditation for the anxious mind, and how doing nothing can reset your baseline stress levels. In this episode, we cover: The Thinking Trap: How successful people mask chronic anxiety with busyness, and the physical toll of living in a state of constant overthinking.The Silent Retreat Experience: What happens when you remove all distractions for 10 days, and why boredom is actually a gateway to healing.Rapid Breathing vs. Meditation: Why traditional meditation fails for many anxious people, and how rapid breathing (pranayama) acts as a physiological shortcut to presence.The Do Nothing Challenge: A simple yet excruciating exercise: sitting still for 10 minutes without meditating, reading, or planning.Befriending the Anxiety: Shifting from "How do I get rid of this?" to "Why are you here, and what do you need?"Notable Quotes: "I asked my anxiety why it was there... It sounds ridiculously simple, but I had never done it." — David Procyshyn"The things that we're most resistant to are the things that are most powerfully potent for us." — David Procyshyn"Just by observing their breath, the quality of their breath got better." — David ProcyshynResources & Links: Connect with David: https://davidprocyshyn.com/Do Yoga With Me: https://www.doyogawithme.com/Connect with Corissa: Explore the Advisory. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/advisory Inquire for Keynotes. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/speaking If this conversation awoke or inspired something in you, please consider leaving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more people.

    Why Success Feels Empty...And the Questions That Fix It w/ Corissa Saint Laurent

    We are taught that if we check all the boxes (good grades, good job, good family) we will finally feel complete. But for many high-achievers, reaching the summit only reveals a startling truth: the view is great, but the feeling is hollow. In this solo episode, Corissa Saint Laurent tackles the crisis of meaning that often follows material success. She explains why ascending to leave the body is a misunderstanding of spirituality, and why the real work is actually about descending into the fullness of being human. Corissa breaks down the identity trap: the dangerous habit of confusing who we are with what we do. Whether you're a CEO or someone struggling with addiction, she argues that both are just costumes hiding the same divine nature. This episode is a permission slip to stop reinforcing the model you were given and start remembering who you actually are. In this episode, she covers: The Ascension Myth: Why trying to escape the human experience is actually a form of spiritual bypassing, and why true divinity is found in the body.The Success/Failure Coin: How the high-achieving CEO and the person at rock bottom are often asking the exact same question: "Is this all there is?"Identity Shedding: Why we pack titles, accolades, and traumas around us like armor, and the courage it takes to strip them away.The Better Experience Protocol: Moving beyond the abstract goal of Oneness to the practical goal of simply having a better Tuesday.Knowledge vs. Wisdom: The crucial difference between reading about spirituality and actually embodying it through experience.Notable Quotes: "If the purpose here was just to have a spiritual experience, none of us would be here. We would all be off in our spirit light form." — Corissa Saint Laurent"Your true state isn't the person who gets angry in traffic... those are all human states that have been programmed." — Corissa Saint Laurent"Knowledge is just information. Wisdom is embodied truth." — Corissa Saint LaurentConnect with Corissa: Explore the Advisory. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/advisory Inquire for Keynotes. https://corissasaintlaurent.com/speaking If this conversation awoke or inspired something in you, please consider leaving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to help us reach more people.
