Episode 60 | Stop Pushing Through: A New Model of Resilient Leadership with Jodi Scott

When was the last time you paused long enough to notice your feet on the ground before making a hard decision?

In this episode of Mpowered Living, Ann Sheu sits down with entrepreneur and founder of Green Goo, Jodi Scott, for a deeply human conversation about leadership, loss, resilience, and the underestimated power of presence.

Jodi shares the story behind her guiding philosophy to “spread goodness” — and how that belief was tested when she lost her company, her team, and her sense of purpose almost overnight. What followed wasn’t hustle. It wasn’t grind. It was something far more powerful.

In this episode, they explore:

• Why “pushing through” is often a half-full version of resilience
• The 30-second presence practice that can change how you lead under pressure
• What happens to a team when a leader walks into a room rushed and reactive
• How presence creates psychological safety, creativity, and trust
• The subtle difference between being firm and being in fight-or-flight
• Why leaders who are rescuers and protectors burn out faster
• The reframe from “protector” to “archer” — and how that changes your energy
• How small discomforts (like choosing the middle airplane seat) build resilience muscle
• What it looks like to bring leadership lessons home to your children

This conversation is especially relevant for leaders and parents who feel the pull to constantly fix, solve, and save — and are ready to lead from something deeper.
