POTH | Psychology of The Heart Podcast

The first five minutes of a meeting shapes literally everything: trust, tone, whether people feel like humans or just task machines. In this episode (Part 2 of 4 of the Get Your Ops Together mini-series), I share the one ritual that builds psychological safety faster than any team-building activity: a simple emotional check-in. I break down the psychology behind it and how to actually use it, whether your team is five people or fifty.

It's not the big choices that drain us but the constant stream of all those small ones. In this episode (Part 1 of 4 of the Get Your Ops Together mini-series), I break down decision fatigue, what decision hygiene actually looks like in practice, and a simple 3-day exercise to start making choices that feel aligned rather than exhausting.

Leadership is not built on just what you say: it's built on what you hear and how you respond. Part 2 of the Art of Listening series, we go deeper into listening to others, creating psychological safety, and how being truly attuned (within and beyond yourself) transforms the way you lead, collaborate, and connect.

Real confidence isn't even about being seen or heard. True confidence starts with learning to listen to yourself. In this episode, I explore what self-listening actually is, how it builds self-trust, and why the way we listen to our inner world shapes everything: how we lead, communicate, set boundaries, and show up for the people we care about.

Storytelling is one of the oldest ways we’ve connected as humans, and it’s still one of the most powerful tools in business and leadership today. I sat down with Danielle Evans-Cole to explore why stories stick, how they build trust and authentic influence, and what it looks like to share your own story in a way that actually resonates. If you've ever wondered why some messages land and others don't, this conversation is for you.

When you know yourself, every experience becomes a place to grow from. I had this conversation with my client, Jenn Graus LCPC of Thrive Ahead Co. about what it really means to show up authentically in business. We explore why curiosity unlocks transformation, how self-awareness builds genuine leadership, and what it looks like to stop performing and start being.

The biggest shifts in leadership don't usually come from some grand strategy. But they do come from those tiny little life moments; micro-moments. The pause before you respond. The tone you bring into a check-in. The boundary you hold in real time. This episode explores how those small, everyday choices either root your leadership in alignment or quietly pull you back into survival mode.

You can't access your full creative capacity when your body is still bracing all. the. time. In this episode, I explore why creative blocks are often nervous system issues (not strategy issues) and how hustle culture quietly hijacks the way we create, lead, and express ourselves. Creativity isn't a bonus. It's a mirror of how safe you feel inside.
