Fear shows up at work wearing many masks—delay, overthinking, quiet meetings, and the idea you never pitch. We turn that static into signal by reframing fear as information and walking through a five-step, science-backed method you can use in minutes to move from stuck to started.
You’ll hear a candid story about my dreaded client call that ended with unexpected ease, and you’ll learn why our brains often inflate imagined outcomes while ignoring real evidence that would calm the room.
We explore a 5-step technique to help you break the paralysis. Along the way, you'll get to practice language shifts that downshift reactivity, simple prompts to surface hidden assumptions, and concrete ways to test risk before you take it.
Whether you need to have a hard 1:1, present a bold strategy, or raise a red flag no one wants to name, this framework helps you act with clarity, not bravado.

This season introduces a framework based on the "zone of proximal development" – that sweet spot between what you can do alone and what seems impossible. We'll guide you through three developmental phases:

- Day (when you're maximizing your thriving potential).
Each phase offers targeted five-minute mindfulness practices that transform how you show up professionally without adding to your overwhelming to-do list.
What makes this approach different? It's designed specifically for high-performers who need practical, science-backed techniques that work in real-world environments.
The stakes couldn't be higher. You can continue feeling like work is happening to you, or you can take control of how you show up. The choice is yours. Join thousands of professionals who've discovered that starting with just five minutes of daily practice can create measurable differences in peace, focus, and leadership presence.
Your journey to becoming a mindful ninja starts now – because you're not just building a career, you're building a life worth living. Ready to elevate your work and empower your life? Let's make this season transformational.

Feeling lost in a career transition? You're not alone. Whether your job change was voluntary or unexpected, this episode offers a powerful reframing that could transform your experience from one of anxiety to genuine opportunity.
Stanford neuroscience research reveals something surprising: those periods when your brain isn't consumed by endless tasks are precisely when your most creative insights emerge. Think about it - when was the last time you had truly unstructured time to follow your curiosity? Welcome to the science of cognitive restoration, where what might feel like idleness is actually your brain's most productive state.
Through practical techniques we unpack in this episode, you'll discover how to rewire your natural negativity bias and recognize the unique freedoms available during this transition. Rather than measuring success through job applications sent, you'll learn to track moments of genuine curiosity followed and instances of self-compassion chosen over self-criticism.
Counterintuitively, research shows that people who allow themselves true rest during job transitions actually secure better positions faster than those who launch into frantic searching.
Ready to transform your career transition story? Listen now, and don't forget to pre-order my upcoming book "Phoenix Rising: Ignite Your Job Search" through the link in the show notes.

If you are dealing with a voluntary or involuntary transition, this episode is for you.
And today, I'm getting vulnerable with you with a surprising confession.
And it is my intention to lift your spirits and you might even laugh:)
Have you ever noticed how your brain treats job loss like it's being chased by a predator? That's because your nervous system doesn't distinguish between a saber-toothed tiger and a severance package. Both trigger the same survival response, even when you've voluntarily left your position.
Core Psychological Insights:
- Your emotional complexity during transitions isn't a character flaw—it's your psyche processing significant change
- Research shows professionals who thrive develop psychological flexibility rather than suppress difficult feelings
- Career transitions activate a unique neural pathway that most employed individuals never access
Identity Disruption as Catalyst:
- The question "Who am I if not my title?" represents a powerful pattern interrupt that can catalyze transformation
- Between professional identities, you access unprecedented freedom to experiment without organizational constraints
Strategic Emotional Processing:
- Create intentional space for your complete emotional spectrum—disappointment, anger, relief, excitement—without judgment
- Practice a daily five-minute morning reflection to decode emotional patterns without suppression
Transformation Opportunity:
- Career transitions offer a rare window to rewire limiting professional beliefs and align with your authentic self
- Your brain is literally creating new neural pathways for professional growth during this pivotal moment

Chime in and tell me. How do you beat burnout?
Do you feel that familiar tension building between your ambition and well-being? That profound emptiness where you're emotionally checked out and unable to recover even with normal rest? Welcome to the danger zone of burnout—where you might show up physically but your mind, spirit, and enthusiasm have quietly quit.
Join us today as we tackle this universal challenge with actionable strategies anyone can implement—without expensive vacations or extended time away. We explore five science-backed approaches to beat burnout.
Your greatest breakthroughs likely come during periods of apparent inactivity. Elite athletes understand that recovery isn't what happens when training stops—it's what makes training effective. The same principle applies to cognitive performance. When designing your rest strategy, focus on quality over quantity; a fully disconnected weekend provides more restoration than a vacation spent checking emails. Burnout isn't inevitable, and you don't have to work yourself into the ground. Use these strategies to transform time off from an indulgence to your competitive advantage.
Join our LinkedIn Mindful in 5 group to share which approach works best for you, and remember—sustainable success requires more than just pushing through exhaustion.

In a digital meeting, do you find your gaze lingering on your own image or are you truly observing your colleagues? Let's mindfully walk through the silent but impactful realm of body language.
Dating back to the 1800s to the current age of selfies, we have been enamoured with our own images. This week's invitation: Become keen observers of nonverbal cues. With 55% of communication being nonverbal, according to body language expert Albert Mehrabian, this aspect can't be overlooked, even in the virtual realm.
Though it's challenging to decipher body language through a screen, there's much to be understood from the unspoken – a furrowed brow, the posture of attentiveness, or the subtleties of a smile. By tuning in to these silent signals, we can deepen our understanding of our colleagues and enhance our presence in every interaction.
This week, embark on a journey of silent observation. Be present, be perceptive. How has paying attention to body language changed your communication and your mindfulness?

Today, we dive into the art of changing habits. If you've struggled with New Year's resolutions or feel overwhelmed by the need for big changes, this episode offers a clear, calm approach. We'll discuss how breaking down your ambitious goals into small, manageable steps can lead to substantial progress.
We start by exploring Kaizen, a philosophy of continuous improvement. Its incremental approach aligns with our brain's preference for gradual change, reducing stress and building confidence. This method not only supports a calmer mindset but also fosters a sense of accomplishment with each small step.
Next, we delve into James Clear's concept of Atomic Habits. Consistency, rather than occasional grand gestures, is key to lasting change. We'll provide practical steps to apply this principle in your daily life. For instance, if your goal is to enhance networking skills, start with reaching out to one new contact per week. Such consistent, focused actions lead to significant improvements over time.
Through these techniques, we aim to help you create a routine that feels supported and manageable, transforming your professional life in a way that feels both peaceful and empowering.
Join the Mindful Ninjas as we combine the principles of Kaizen and Atomic Habits to make consistent, incremental progress. Embrace this journey of small steps leading to big changes.

Many of us - especially if we work behind desks - have heard that sitting for long periods is bad for us. But have you ever felt a twinge in your neck after a stressful day or experienced fatigue that just won't fade? Have you ever wondered if these could be related to your emotions?
Dive deep into the nexus of feelings and well-being as we welcome Body Code and Emotion Code practitioner, Merie Weismiller Wallace. In this episode, Merie unravels how chronic stress and emotions become silent disruptors of our health.
Mindfulness is fundamentally about being present in the moment without judgment and without being overwhelmed by wha's happening around you. However, we can't address what we don't acknowledge. Research professor and author, Brené Brown, explains the importance of expanding our vocabulary to encompass the range of our emotional experiences.
Learn about energy work and how it can be applied to promote healing. We hope these conversations with Merie will add a valuable dimension to how you connect your emotions to your physical health.

In today's fast-paced and highly competitive professional environment, it can be tempting to adopt a tough, no-nonsense attitude. However, being too hard and rigid in your approach can actually be holding you back from reaching your full potential.
Studies have shown that embracing vulnerability and practicing mindfulness can increase creativity, foster better relationships with coworkers, and reduce stress and burnout.
One key way to tap into the power of softness is to adopt a growth mindset. Instead of viewing mistakes and failures as personal shortcomings, try to see them as opportunities for learning and growth. This shift in perspective can lead to increased resilience and a more positive outlook on challenges and setbacks.
Another way to be softer in your approach is to practice empathy and active listening in your professional relationships. By genuinely trying to understand and connect with others, you can build stronger and more productive relationships with coworkers, clients, and customers.
Additionally, incorporating mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing into your daily routine can help reduce stress, increase focus, and promote overall well-being. These practices can also improve your ability to handle difficult conversations and situations with a clearer and more centered mind.
In conclusion, embracing vulnerability and softness in your career can have a profound impact on your professional growth and success. By adopting a growth mindset, practicing empathy and active listening, and incorporating mindfulness practices into your daily routine, you can unlock the full potential of your career and thrive in today's competitive workplace.

Quick, think of the last time you really needed help with something, whether it was at work or in your personal life. How quick were you to ask for the help you needed? If you didn’t immediately jump up and do it, what stood in your way?
Seeking help is a sign of strength and not weakness. It takes courage to acknowledge our limitations and vulnerabilities and ask for support when we need it.
Why is asking for help such a crucial coping skill? Let’s look at this question from 2 perspectives, the perspective of the person asking, and the perspective of the person being asked.
Asking for help can be difficult, and there are many reasons why we find it hard. I love my job and feel supported and safe. And yet I know what it is to hesitate to ask for help for any number of reasons, which I unpack in this episode. Here are the topics discussed in this episode:
- 5 common reasons why we don’t ask for help
- My own stories and examples
- Why asking for help is such a crucial coping skill
- Scientific research debunking some of the myths that stand in our way
- 5 Mindful in 5 steps to help you open yourself up to seek the help you need
Mentally opening yourself up and asking for help at work can be challenging, but it is an essential part of personal and professional growth. By being clear, vulnerable, focused, and peaceful, you can create a safe and supportive environment where you can get what you need to succeed and thrive.
Share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement asking for help this week. Until next time, be mindful and be well.

Have you ever asked someone how they were doing and had them hinge their response on how the day goes?
On the other hand, have you ever noticed how contagious someone's cheerfulness can be? When you're around someone who is genuinely happy and upbeat, it's hard not to feel the same way. But the opposite is also true - negativity and grumpiness can bring down the mood of those around us.
Studies have shown that cheerfulness has numerous scientific benefits for employees in the workplace. Research suggests that a positive and cheerful outlook can lead to higher levels of job satisfaction, increased productivity, and better overall health. When employees are happy and cheerful, they tend to have higher levels of engagement, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
Cheerful employees are also more likely to have positive relationships with their colleagues, which can improve team dynamics and collaboration. Additionally, cheerful employees tend to have better physical health, including reduced risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and better sleep quality. All of these benefits can contribute to a more positive and productive workplace culture.
Cheerfulness is not an innate and unattainable characteristic. It is a skill you can choose to cultivate.
- Start by focusing on the good things in your life, no matter how small.
- Take time to appreciate the beauty around you, whether it's a sunny day or a blooming flower.
- Practice gratitude by keeping a daily journal or taking a moment each day to reflect on what you're thankful for.
- Cultivate a positive mindset. Instead of dwelling on problems or negative experiences, focus on finding solutions and learning from challenges.
- Practice positive self-talk by reminding yourself of your strengths and accomplishments.
- Make an effort to spread cheer to others. Smile and make eye contact with people you encounter throughout your day. Offer compliments and words of encouragement. And remember, even small acts of kindness can have a big impact, whether at home or at work.
So choose to be cheerful today and see how it can transform your mood and the mood of those around you.

Have you ever found yourself feeling lost or directionless? Have you ever felt like you were just going through the motions, without really knowing why? If so, you're not alone. Many of us struggle to find meaning and purpose in our lives.
But here's the thing: having a clear sense of purpose is essential for our well-being. It gives us a reason to get up in the morning, a sense of direction, and a framework for making decisions.
So how do we discover our purpose? For many of us, it's not about one big thing. Some people find their purpose through their work, others through their hobbies or relationships. But for many people, we live out our purpose each and everyday. Each moment can have purpose, sometimes for you, but many times, for the people around us. Sometimes we live out our purpose by the power of our unconscious example for others.
Start by asking yourself what matters most to you. What are your values? What brings you joy? And remember, your purpose doesn't have to be grand or world-changing. It can be as simple as being a good parent, a kind friend, or a dedicated employee. What matters is that it gives your life meaning and direction.
So take some time to reflect on your purpose. Be intentional about it. And remember, it's never too late to discover your purpose in every day.

Generosity is a valuable trait in both our personal and professional lives. It not only makes us feel good, but also helps us build meaningful connections with others. In this Mindful in 5 podcast insight, we invite you to be generous. Here are just a few reasons why generosity can help your career and your life.
- Establishes Strong Relationships When you are generous, you are demonstrating to others that you are trustworthy, dependable and that you care about their well-being. This can help you establish strong relationships with coworkers, clients and other key individuals in your industry. By making an effort to help others, you can create a positive reputation for yourself that can pay dividends in the long run.
- Creates Opportunities for Growth Generosity often leads to reciprocation. When you help someone else, they are more likely to return the favor in the future. This can create new opportunities for growth and advancement in your career. For example, if you help a coworker with a project, they may think of you for future projects or recommend you for a promotion.
- Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem When you are generous, you feel good about yourself. You become more confident and positive in your interactions with others. This improved self-esteem can translate into greater success in your career. When you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to speak up in meetings, take on challenging projects, and tackle obstacles with a positive attitude.

According to a study by Emtrain, around 1 in 10 employees do not believe their leaders would take the time to listen to their complaints. According to the same study, nearly 1 in 3 employees believe their leaders neither express empathy nor show interest in their reports.
While your technical skills have their place in an organization, meeting the needs of your team and achieving your goals goes beyond this knowledge. Making the right decisions as a leader takes effective listening. Or, as my guest for this episode frames it, you need to listen at the speed of business.
Melanie R. Jones, Region President at Sysco, joins us for a value-packed conversation on what it means to be a good leader. If you are a leader in any capacity or a team member, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
“Listening at the speed of business is about identifying the places where you haven’t been your best and ensuring that you push those learnings into how you show up as a leader today.”
—Melanie Jones
Key Topics Discussed
- What it means to listen at the speed of business.
- The need for constructive accountability and courageous leadership.
- What is ego? What does ego look like from a place of mindfulness?
- A new and valuable paradigm of active listening
- The power and art of saying “No.”
- How does being present impact your team and coworkers?

“The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.”— Diane Von Furstenberg
Making intentional efforts to take care of yourself is essential for your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. Treating yourself with patience, kindness, and compassion can energize, empower, and leave you more confident.
Understand that you are brilliant work in progress—and you need to make room for yourself out of your busy life for that brilliance to shine brighter! Self-care creates space for you to focus on the things that make you unique. It allows you to recover or discover your worth—ultimately feeding your self-confidence.
Dorothy-Inez joins us again on Mindful in 5 to discuss how self-care and confidence are intertwined. This is a conversation about stopping to reflect on your well-being and being gentle with yourself as a priority.
Listen in to learn why and how to practice self-love as part of unlocking your most confident and authentic self.
Key Topics Discussed
- How do confidence and self-care intersect
- Why should you take time off your busy life to practice self-care?
- What does self-care mean? How do you practically infuse it into your everyday life regardless of your situation?
- What kind of self-care really matters?
- What steps can we take to build our confidence from the inside-out?
- Can you build confidence without the self-care component?

"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within."
– Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Confidence is key to success in any aspect of our lives, from building better relationships to making strides in our careers. But it's easy to feel lost when it comes to mustering self-confidence—as if there is a disconnect between wanting and actually feeling/being confident. So what's the secret to authentic confidence?
According to Dorothy-Inez, my guest in this episode of Mindful in 5, an important part of building confidence is understanding that "Life is happening FOR you, not TO you." You can change your mindset. You can change your path. You can change your life. It's all within your control. It's all within you. You just have to believe in yourself and take courageous action.
Dorothy-Inez Breazell (aka., the Queen of Shine) is a confidence coach, international best-selling author, teacher, speaker, and mentor who's dedicated her life to helping women show up and shine from within. She joins me to discuss how we can cultivate confidence for a happier, more fulfilling, and more successful life.
Listen in to this candid and empowering conversation on how you can overcome the obstacles that stand between you and your most confident self. In confidence you can feel more clear, joyful, and abundant as you operate from your peaceful path.
Key Topics Discussed
- Dorothy-Inez's backstory and her path to confidence
- The most significant barrier to confidence and how to overcome it for a more fulfilling life
- How you are your own worst enemy, but you can also be your own best friend
- The idea behind the "Christ Confidence Code" and how it can help you 'shine your light'
- Stepping into your authentic Self – You're here on purpose for a purpose
- Why a company's brand identity should begin from within to accelerate its value proposition

Long before it was a mainstream concept, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deeply understood the central tenets of mindfulness. The example we explore in this episode is how he embraced the ideal of being centered in oneself and not allowing externalities or hatred spewed by other people - to taint how we see ourselves, or provoke us to wrong action.
Let us remember his example and do our own part to build a better world by being mindful in how we show up in it.

Did you know that according to the Mayo Clinic, laughter has these many benefits:
- Stress relief: It's hard to be stressed when you're laughing. Decrease your stress response and blood pressure, and increase your sense of relaxation with a good guffaw.
- Organ Stimulation: Greater intake of oxygen-rich air increases the release of endorphins and stimulates your muscles, lungs, and heart.
- Improve immunity: Long term, dwelling on positive thoughts can release neuropeptides that help battle stress and can boost immunity.
- Pain Relief: laughter can prompt the body to release its own natural painkillers.
If you haven't laughed today (or if you have and would like more), listen to this incredibly fun episode with my wonderful guest, Miquel, who shares her secrets for staying upbeat, and infuses a lot of fun and laughter along the way.

After a big misunderstanding, TJ drops wisdom on how he mindfully dealt with two specific calamities in his life.
In the book Mindful in 5, these events would be considered the seasons of Dark. If you are facing seemingly insurmountable hardship in your Dark season and wondering how on earth mindfulness can help, this episode is for you.
Team God Lovers: remember that even if it feels like God is nowhere to be found and you are alone, He is closer in your Dark season than at any other time. Perhaps the reason you can't see Him is because that broad expanse of nothing you see in front of you is His back while He's carrying you.

In this precursor to the 5-step technique in Episode 17 (5 Steps to Tame Fear), we ask the questions: is manifestation pseudo-science or is there more to it? Why does it matter to grapple with fearful thoughts? Can they really make a difference to what happens in our lives? If so, how can we apply mindfulness meditation to address it?
