Vulnerability and leadership often feel at odds with each other. As someone who's built her reputation as "the SOS girl" – the one everyone calls during their darkest moments – I've struggled with a profound question: how do I ask for help when I'm drowning?

This raw, unfiltered exploration takes you through the emotional tug-of-war between maintaining professional credibility and embracing authentic vulnerability. I share a personal story about shifting instantly from seeking support to providing it during a mastermind call, highlighting the strange energy exchange that happens when you're accustomed to being the helper. The experience forced me to confront whether I've been selfish with clients by waiting for them to make decisions when sometimes they simply need direction.

My sensitivity – the quality that sometimes overwhelms me – is precisely what makes me effective at supporting others. Good coaches sit in the mud with clients, and my capacity to feel deeply gives me the empathy to notice subtle shifts in others. This realization has transformed how I view emotional intelligence, not as weakness but as profound strength. Similarly, I've come to appreciate that our greatest lessons come from our losses, not our wins. As my high school dance coach wisely observed – winners don't learn because they don't know why they succeeded, but losers gain clarity about what needs improvement.

Whether you're a coach, leader, parent, or friend, this episode will resonate if you've ever struggled with the balance between helping others and seeking help yourself. What kind of support do you need when you're struggling? How do you maintain authority while showing vulnerability? I'd love to hear your thoughts – reach out on social media @janaswan with your insights on navigating this delicate balance.

Your brain isn't broken—it's protecting you. That emotional numbness you feel? It's actually your mind's sophisticated defense mechanism at work. When we experience trauma, our brains literally split into two separate functioning systems—the logical left hemisphere and the emotional right hemisphere—creating a disconnect that manifests as difficulty feeling emotions deeply.

This neurological adaptation serves a crucial survival purpose. For those who had to show up, break generational patterns, or forge their own path without adequate support, the brain learned to suppress emotional responses to keep you functional. You could make decisions, advance in your career, and navigate life's challenges without being "crippled" by overwhelming feelings. But this protection comes at a significant cost: the inability to feel deeply connected to others or experience the full spectrum of human emotions—both painful and pleasurable.

The journey back to emotional wholeness requires understanding that integration is possible. It's about reconnecting these separate parts of your brain and learning to access both your logical and emotional capacities simultaneously. As one wise perspective puts it, the goal is developing "a soft front and a strong spine"—maintaining the ability to connect heart-to-heart while having the inner strength to carry life's weight. This balance allows you to be driven by emotions while being backed by logic, rather than being blinded by emotions or caged by logic.

The process of reconnecting with your emotions follows six essential steps: uncovering limiting beliefs, building resource anchors for safety, releasing stored emotions, working through forgiveness, reevaluating your values and beliefs, and developing new practices that support emotional awareness. It's not about flipping a switch but rather a gradual evolution—like water coming to a boil.

When you detach from pain, you inadvertently sacrifice life's pleasures too. The true power lies not in shutting down emotions altogether but in mastering them—learning to feel deeply without being controlled by those feelings. This mastery becomes your life's cheat code, allowing you to leverage emotions rather than being limited by them. Ready to take off that armor and experience life in full color?

The sudden loss of a friend to uncontrolled anger shook my world this week. Despite the raw heartache I'm experiencing, I've chosen to share my grief journey openly – not as a display of weakness, but as true emotional leadership.

Grief demands processing, and I've discovered fascinating insights about how we approach pain. My male friends urged me to speak directly from the wound, while female friends advocated for time and space to heal first. This gendered response reveals profound truths about energy and coping mechanisms that impact how we navigate loss. I've been deliberate in my approach to grief, creating intentional space to feel emotions fully while maintaining crucial routines. As I explain in the episode, processing grief early is like battling a "baby dragon" rather than waiting until that dragon grows into an overwhelming force that consumes us.

The pillars of my healing have been community connection, continued movement, and emotional honesty. I've maintained my gym routine despite painful associations, sought support from trusted friends, and used techniques like journaling and NLP to process emotions. When rage overwhelms us, our logical mind shuts down, leading to irreversible decisions. My experience reinforces why I'm passionate about teaching emotional regulation – because when we lose control, the consequences can be devastating. I continue to use my "5Ms" approach – movement, meditation, mindset work, affirmations, and celebrations – to navigate this storm while preparing to speak on stage and fulfill my responsibilities.

Have you built the community and developed the emotional regulation skills you need before the storm hits? The time to prepare isn't after lightning strikes. Join me in learning how to process difficult emotions effectively rather than letting them build into uncontrollable forces. Your emotional health might depend on it.

Have you ever poured your heart into a project only to face rejection after rejection? That gut-wrenching feeling of uncertainty can make even the most confident entrepreneur question everything. But what if those "no's" are actually guiding you toward your perfect "yes"?

The transformative perspective I share in this episode completely reframes how you'll view rejection in your business. Your gifts aren't meant for everyone—and that's not just okay, it's essential to your success. I reveal the counterintuitive strategy of "getting to the no faster" that my business partner Tom taught me after 40 years in sales. This approach has revolutionized how I qualify prospects, saving countless hours and emotional energy that used to be wasted on people who weren't ready for what I offer.

We dive deep into practical questioning techniques that help you quickly assess prospect readiness, maintaining neutrality about rejection while staying excited about client transformations. When someone says "no," they're not rejecting you—they're simply communicating they're not ready for the transformation you offer. Their "no" actually means "I don't trust myself enough yet to do the work." The rejection-handling skill might be the most valuable asset you can develop, not just for business but for life. I share my four-step process for turning each rejection into a learning opportunity: assess, correct, reapply, and learn.

Ready for a challenge that combines this mindset work with daily practices? I introduce the Thick and Thin Challenge using the five M's—movement, meditation, mindfulness, manifestation, and celebration—that could win you $1,000 every 90 days while transforming your relationship with rejection. Are you ready to embrace the "no" so you can find your perfect "yes" faster?

Have you ever defended your passions to someone who just didn't get it? That's exactly what happened when a longtime friend challenged the value of my women's emotional regulation retreats. Instead of crumbling under the weight of objections – something I might have done years ago – I stood firmly in my knowledge and experience.

This conversation revealed common misconceptions about emotional health work. From the perception that youth equals inexperience (despite my intensive study since age 19), to equating social media followings with expertise (when many high-performing clients prefer discretion), these objections reflect deeper misunderstandings about true transformation.

The differences between traditional therapy and my emotional regulation approach are stark. While therapy often focuses on awareness without providing tools for change, my breakthrough sessions combine awareness with active transformation. Think of therapy as wrapping tape around a leaky pipe versus my approach: replacing the pipe entirely. Therapy maintains professional distance; I walk alongside clients, sharing personal stories that bridge understanding. Therapy breadcrumbs you through endless sessions; I deliver the whole meal upfront with intensive breakthrough experiences followed by integration support.

Perhaps most surprising to my friend was learning that successful people – those with thriving businesses, healthy relationships, and strong bodies – are perfect candidates for emotional resets. These high-achievers recognize that to reach their next level, they need to release the subtle emotional blocks holding them back. Nobody escapes the emotional overload of modern life – most of us walk around with cups filled to the brim, occasionally spilling over before slowly filling again. An emotional reset empties your cup completely, creating space for intentional responses rather than reactive outbursts.

Women-only retreats create unique sanctuaries where deep healing can occur. With six out of ten women having experienced sexual abuse by men, these safe environments allow for vulnerability impossible to achieve in mixed settings. The feminine energy that flows when women gather without outside masculine presence creates transformative possibilities that simply can't be replicated otherwise.

Ready to experience an emotional reset that will change everything? From virtual courses to immersive retreats, there's an entry point perfect for you. Join the growing community of women who've discovered what true emotional freedom feels like.

Have you ever felt deeply frustrated when a friend fails to show up for a plan? Let’s dig into the emotional depths of our love languages and how they define our interpersonal relationships. This episode looks closer at Gary Chapman’s concept of love languages – quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, and receiving gifts. I share personal experiences that shed light on how our emotional responses can often be directly tied to our love languages.

The narrative explores how unmet expectations linked to our love languages can manifest in feelings of irritation and deep hurt, especially when others don’t reciprocate the effort we contribute to relationships. By examining the opposites of these love languages, we uncover the potential triggers and emotional pain points that can emerge in our human connections. We delve into the importance of communication, encouraging listeners to express their love languages effectively to foster deeper connections.

Join the dialogue on understanding these connections and the importance of acknowledging different love languages in our relationships. Understanding our and others’ love preferences opens doors to richer, more nourishing connections. Don’t miss this opportunity for reflection and growth, and engage with us by sharing your love language story! Subscribe, share, and leave a review to continue the conversation!

Are you navigating the complex landscape of entrepreneurship as a woman? The journey to financial success can present unique challenges, especially when comparing six-figure earners to their seven-figure counterparts. In this enlightening podcast episode, we dive deep into the distinctions between these two groups, exploring their mindsets, fears, and the crucial differences in their business relationships.

We discuss how women at the six-figure level often feel a sense of just making ends meet, balancing their aspirations and financial realities, while seven-figure entrepreneurs confront the pressures of higher taxes and the responsibility that comes with substantial income. We also highlight how their perspectives shift, creating challenges in networking—where six-figure women often find friendships, seven-figure women frequently navigate client relationships.

Insights shared reflect on fears faced by entrepreneurs at both levels, from the fear of success among six-figure women, concerned about sustainability, to the fear of failure felt by seven-figure women, grappling with maintaining their status. The episode tackles strategies too, emphasizing growth tactics for six-figure earners versus the operational frameworks of those making seven figures.

Join us as we unpack these experiences and perspectives, fostering a conversation that empowers women at every business stage. Whether you’re in the planning stages, reaching for six figures, or enjoying the complexities of seven figures, this episode promises valuable insights to elevate your entrepreneurial journey. Together, let's build a community that nurtures growth, encourages connection, and celebrates the unique experiences of women in business.
