In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jasmine Escalera for an open, honest, and raw conversation where we talk about what really happens when you hit a turning point in your life or career — and know it’s time to change.

We go beyond the usual personal development talk and unpack the emotional reality of reinvention: the discomfort, the identity shifts, the mindset traps, and the breakthroughs that shape the path to becoming who you truly are (and who you choose to be).

If you’re feeling like you're stuck, like there's more for you, like the life you're living now isn’t the one that’s meant to take you forward… then this episode is for you.

Some of the highlights we explore include:

• What transformation actually looks and feels like
• Why mindset shifts are only part of the story
• How to navigate the “in-between” of who you were and who you’re becoming
• The power of self-trust, reinvention, and leading from your truth

This is the conversation you need if you’re on the edge of something bigger — and ready to step into your next level with clarity, confidence, and alignment.

In this episode, I explain the foundation of self-leadership and dive into why presence starts in your nervous system, not in your title or your strategy.

If you're ready to learn what it means to lead yourself authentically and calmly, especially under pressure or with uncertainty, then you won't want this episode.

This is where leadership begins: not with performance, but with presence.

Whether you're leading a team or simply trying to show up for yourself with more clarity, this episode will help you move from reactivity to regulation—and from pressure to personal power.
