Join host Dr. Meghan Walker on this week's episode of IMPACT as she sits down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, a world-renowned speaker on grit and resilience, co-founder of the Dharma Coaching Institute and co-founder of Global Grit Institute, a mental-health  training platform for leaders. Together, they explore the importance of facing our negative emotions head-on, instead of hiding them away as we strive for success. 

 

As high-achievers, we often want to hide our emotions and push them away as we strive for the next level of success. However, this is an unhealthy way to deal with negative emotions, and it can ultimately take a toll on our psyche, well-being, and even our sense of self-respect and self-worth. 

 

In this powerful and inspiring conversation, Dr. Bhushan provides valuable strategies for dealing with negative emotions and overcoming challenges. She explains that it's important to feel the emotions, identify the limiting beliefs and then reframe the stories in our heads to learn from our mistakes, setbacks, and failures. By facing our negative emotions head-on, we can turn them into opportunities for growth and cultivate the mindset of a resilient person.

 

Dr. Bhushan also shares her personal journey and the insights she gained from her own experiences, including the lessons she learned from writing her latest book, "That Sucked, Now What?". 

 

Tune in to IMPACT and discover the secrets to turning challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.

Unleash your inner power and with host Meghan Walker as she dives into the world of female leadership, financial health, and wealth on this week's episode of IMPACT! Meghan sits down with three accomplished women: Mary Shores, Adele Tevlin, and April Stroink who share their insights on how to embrace your feminine energy, overcome confidence gaps, and cultivate self-love to achieve financial and personal success. 

As women leaders, it's essential for us to embrace our feminine energy, not just our masculine energy. This means leading from a place of empowerment using collaboration, empathy, and compassion. This can be difficult to do when we're surrounded by men in similar roles, but cultivating self-love and a sense of abundance is crucial when it comes to our ability to achieve our goals.

The discussion also touches on the importance of keeping emotion out of money decisions and realizing that health and wealth go hand in hand. Financial health is one of the pillars of our overall health, and when we're successful financially and have a healthy relationship with money, we're able to serve people in our communities and have a greater impact.

This week's episode of IMPACT is a must-listen for any woman looking to improve her leadership skills, achieve financial success, and build a healthy mindset. Don't miss out on this valuable conversation and tune in now to benefit from the wisdom and experiences of these powerhouse leaders.

 MEMORABLE QUOTES

“For women in leadership, I sometimes feel like I'm walking the plank and I'm alone. It’s my own limiting beliefs.”

Dr. Meghan Walker

 

“I believe in the power of empathy and compassion in order to create an ultimate rapport and connection with your patients.”

Mary Shores

 

“We have to drop this emotional charge we have over the people that owe us money. We need to be able to let that go.”

Mary Shores

 

“You build up your container, you fill yourself up, you fill up your capacity to lead and to love, and then you're overflowing with it because love is infinite.”

Adele Tevlin

 

“We all have a masculine and feminine energy, or part of us, it's kind of like the ying and the yang.”

Adele Tevlin

 

“The biggest mistake that I see business owners make is chasing the top line and really getting away from the core of their business.”

April Stroink

 

“Part of being a female leader is about balance. When you self care, mentally, emotionally, and physically you actually expand your capacity for all the pieces. That is why it is a limiting belief, ladies, that you don’t have time for yourself. The secret to being able to do more is actually to do more for yourself.” 

Dr. Meghan Walker

 

“There's a part of your brain that when you visualize, it's actually using the same neural networks as if you are actually practicing it. So visualization is key. 

Adele Tevlin

“Understanding financial health and how to get there and how to wrap your mindset around it is absolutely going to distinguish you when it comes to how you're working with your patients.”

Dr. Meghan Walker

“I so often see that the business is running the owner versus the other way around.” 

April Stroink

This week’s episode of IMPACT is one for the books! It combines interviews with two of Meghan Walker’s previous guests whose insight and knowledge surrounding mindset and self-authorization is astounding. 

 

Dr. Shyamala Kiru, a registered psychotherapist and family and couple therapist works in particular with high-performing, high achieving women and mothers who are juggling multiple roles and identities. She discusses with Meghan that to navigate our relationships and improve our quality of life we must master our ability to communicate assertively. When each person in a relationship is responsive and not reactive, where they can make choices from an informed and self-regulated place, the relationship will thrive. When we access our emotional intelligence we have the capacity for incredible impact. 

 

David Bayer, a motivational coach, digital entrepreneur and author of MindHack.com is one of the emerging thought leaders in the evolution of mindset. He believes that using your mind to rewire and reorganize the brain is the linchpin of human evolution. There are two states of being – powerful and primal. Powerful states include happiness, joy, calm and curiosity. Stress, anxiety, overwhelm and fear being primal states. If we give ourselves permission to feel good enough, then we exist in the powerful state. The fears diminish and happiness and abundance rule, giving us the opportunity to have a greater impact in the world. Live in your joy, calm and peace to have that powerful living experience.

 

We need to identify the things we can control and the things we can’t, and take radical responsibility for our own happiness and mindset. The journey is about knowing yourself at a deeper level and removing the resistance that’s there in the form of thinking so that you can decide to do something new moving forward. 

 

Appropriately enough, what each conversation boils down to is that self-authorization and a healthy mindset leave room for impact. If you’re ready to see the lies in the untruth that you've been telling yourself then this is an episode you cannot afford to miss. 

 

Tune in now and get ready to take responsibility for your mindset and happiness!

MEMORABLE QUOTES

“I have seen time and time again the correlation between our ability to really master our mindset, our ability to communicate assertively or communicate with confidence and how that really feeds into our ability to navigate our relationships well.”

Dr. Shyamala Kiru

 

“We are focused on helping as many people in their personal suffering as possible so that we can collectively create the future of the world that we all share.”

David Bayer

 

“This next evolution of personal growth, which is defined as utilizing the mind to rewire and reorganize the brain, is the linchpin of the evolution of the entire human species.”

David Bayer

 

“When we're in rest and reconnection and recharging, that's when we're connected to inspiration and creativity and flow states and an intelligence that is greater than ourselves.”

David Bayer

 

“The only two things we can control are what we think and what we do.”

Dr. Shyamala Kiru

 

“When we look at the couple's system, it is actually strongest when each individual is executing at their fullest potential. So when each individual partner is executing in a way where they have a hold of their mindset, where they're really able to be responsive and not reactive, where they're really able to make choices from an informed and self-regulated place, that is when relationships are at their strongest.”

Dr. Shyamala Kiru

 

“In my opinion, we can't talk about relationship strategies, whether it's parenting or whether it's around intimacy, unless we talk about the mindset piece.”

Dr. Shyamala Kiru

 

“We need to take radical responsibility for our mindset and own happiness because if we don’t do that we can’t be there for our kids, we can’t navigate our relationships and we certainly can’t show up as our professional selves.” 

Dr. Shyamala Kiru

 

“Your thoughts are an extension of your core beliefs. And then you experience those thoughts as feelings. So your beliefs produce your thoughts, your thoughts you experience as feelings. Those feelings motivate or demotivate action or activity. And the action and activity produce results. And then those results reinforce the core belief. And so this is referred to as  a psycho cybernetic loop.”

David Bayer

 

“That whole journey is about coming to know thyself at a deeper level and removing any of the resistance that's there in the form of thinking and seeing the lies in the untruth that you've been telling yourself while knowing that you can decide something new moving forward.”

David Bayer

On this week's episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker explores the intersection of sexuality and inner wisdom with guests Katrina Bos and Susan Bratton. Together they discuss how embracing your passion and authenticity can lead to greater success in all areas of your life. 

 

Sexuality is an integral part of our lives. It fuels our bodies, businesses, and creativity. Susan Bratton, an expert on how to reclaim our relationship with out own sexuality, emphasizes the importance of slowing down and planning dates for lovemaking and erotic play in order to achieve sexual fulfillment, especially as we age and may experience challenges like vaginal lubrication issues, loss of sensation, and incontinence. Bratton believes that by embracing and prioritizing our sexuality, we can tap into a deeper level of passion, creativity and focus.

 

Renowned author, Katrina Bos, reminds us that the only thing of value we have is time, and not to waste it. She advises trusting in a greater consciousness and not letting our brains make all the decisions, and encourages finding a spiritual foundation and redefining one's life according to one's own truth. Bos believes that by embracing our inner wisdom and authenticity, we can create a more harmonious and radiant life, not just for ourselves, but for those around us.

 

With insights from both Bratton and Bos, this week's episode of IMPACT is sure to inspire and empower women to reclaim their sexuality and tap into their inner wisdom in order to live a more fulfilling and authentic life. 

 

Tune in now and get ready to elevate your mind, body, and spirit.

Are you tired of feeling held back by negative emotions and limiting beliefs? It's time to take control of your mindset and emotions and live a life you love!This week on IMPACT, we've got just the guests to help you do that! Meghan Walker sits down with the dynamic duo of Dr. Joan Rosenberg and Susan Hobson.

Dr. Rosenberg is a world-renowned psychologist, consultant, and media expert who knows a thing or two about achieving a life you love. Her book, 90 Seconds to a Life You Love, is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their mental wellbeing. And Susan Hobson? She's a neuro-linguistic programming coach who works with top executives, athletes, and other high achievers to help them break through their mental barriers.

Confidence is crucial when it comes to building a strong foundation of self and getting past imposter syndrome. But true confidence isn't about trying to be perfect or competing with others. It's about knowing your own limits, showing up, and doing the best you can at any age and stage of life. It's about knowing your worth and the value you bring to the table.

So how do you build confidence? By cultivating self-awareness, not avoidance. When you're faced with negative emotions, it's important to name them and allow them to pass. Most feelings only last 90 seconds, so don't let them hold you back. And when you lean into your feelings, you can gain valuable insights and use them to make better decisions or take action.

But it's not just about managing your emotions. You also need to examine the root of your limiting beliefs and identify where critical self-talk is coming from. By confronting these beliefs and challenging them, you can navigate around them and open yourself up to new possibilities.

A change in thinking can have a big impact, and self-awareness and clarity on your values are key to being true to yourself and performing at your best. So don't miss this episode of Impact with Dr. Joan Rosenberg and Susan Hobson – start mastering your mindset and emotions today!

MEMORABLE QUOTES

 

“Confidence is the deep sense that you can handle the emotional outcome of whatever you face or whatever you pursue.”

Dr. Joan Rosenberg

 

“People come through my door for the first time with imposter syndrome because they're realizing that the success that they've achieved has been created on a false foundation of self.”

Susan Hobson

 

“No amount of victories or wins are enough when you're coming from a false foundation of self, meaning that you have a belief system or a mindset that you're faking it.”

Susan Hobson

 

“Whether you're opening up your door for the first time or you've been doing it for a long time, really examine and unpack the mindset of what is enough.”

Susan Hobson

 

“We're co-creators with life. Many of us don't realize that and are at the level of awareness where we still think life is doing something to us.”

Dr. Joan Rosenberg

 

“The one choice is choosing into awareness, not avoidance.”

Dr. Joan Rosenberg

 

“When thoughts, feelings, words and actions all match, then one feels congruent. That's the foundation of confidence and it is also the foundation of inner peace.”

Dr. Joan Rosenberg

 

“When I can be with my vulnerability, that is actually when I'm at my greatest strength.”

Dr. Joan Rosenberg

 

“If anybody really peels back the layer on perfection, they’d see that it's a race that they'll never win. What I like to teach my clients is that if you're a perfectionist, that's a goal you’ll never reach.”

Susan Hobson

 

“There's not any one of us that enters this world or leaves this world a different way. We all enter it and we all leave it the same way. We're from the same fabric. And when we can adopt that and live from that place, then our whole whole human experience can change. So healing the rupture that we're different and being able to come together is such a crucial part of healing.”

Dr. Joan Rosenberg
