112: Paradigm Shifts, Emotional Intelligence, and Unlearning
My guest this week, Alex, has this gift of getting to the root—of seeing where the story behind the strategy is still running the show. She doesn’t offer formulas. She offers questions:
→ Who are you outside of what you produce?
→ What systems trained you to hustle for validation?
→ How often are you overriding your body in service of your business?
She reminded me (and maybe you need to hear it too): you can’t out-think your way out of emotional conditioning. You can’t logic your way into safety. And you definitely can’t build a business that nourishes you if you’re still performing for a system you left years ago.
