    Ep. 39 - Transformation, Confidence & One Step at a Time with Deborah Director

    This week on Your Mental Highness, Dr. Jenae Lomaski sits down with luxury travel advisor Deborah Director for a powerful conversation about reinvention, self-worth, fear, and transformation. Deborah shares her journey from earning her undergraduate degree at University of Florida and her master’s in speech pathology at Nova Southeastern University, to building a thriving career in luxury travel. What began as a necessary pivot during a deeply personal family health crisis ultimately led her to create a successful remote business in an industry she once feared — including overcoming a serious fear of flying. In this episode, we explore: How fear can become fuel for transformationWhy “failure is not an option” can be a mindset shiftThe impact of success on relationships and datingRecognizing when you’re “boiling in the pot” and it’s time to get outThe importance of boundaries — especially the one you set with yourselfReinvention during uncertainty (including navigating the pandemic with a commission-only travel business)The power of telling yourself: “You’ve got this.”Deborah also shares one of her most physically and psychologically challenging experiences — gorilla trekking in Rwanda — and how it reinforced a simple but profound life lesson: when the path feels overwhelming, take it one step at a time. The biggest takeaway? You don’t need to leap the entire mountain. You just need to cross one stream, one branch, one step at a time. For travel inquiries, Deborah can be reached via Instagram @deborahdirector or at deborah@smartflyer.com. As always, shine your crowns, hold your chin high, and remember — you are on your own team.

    Ep. 38 - Confidence, Compassion & The Inner Critic

From childhood wounds to adult patterns, this episode explores how to build self-worth without losing your edge — and how to push yourself without tearing yourself down. Growth doesn’t require shame. It requires awareness.

    Ep. 37 - Compliance Isn’t Regulation: What Children Are Really Communicating

    In this episode of Your Mental Highness, Dr. Jenae “Dr. Jai” Lomaski sits down with Board Certified Behavior Analyst Francis Fishman for an honest, grounding conversation about children, behavior, and what’s really happening beneath the surface. Together, they explore why compliance is not the same as regulation, how children absorb energy and emotion even when they can’t express it, and why labels can help with services—but should never define a child’s potential. This episode is a powerful reminder that behavior is communication, calm doesn’t always mean safe, and real regulation starts with the adults in the room. Crowns on—this one goes deep.
