Eliminating the Learned Response of Anxiety

Here with us today is Patrick Jones, a journalist, producer and podcaster. Patrick is host of That Gives Me Anxiety, a show about the things that scare us and how to deal. He's also an accomplished improviser and sketch comedian. In the world in which we're living now, I am proud to be living in this moment where we're seeing a lot of different people and organizations really understand that we all suffer in one way or the other from mental health issues - whether it's a persistent chronic thing, or whether it's just based on some sort of event. I am so appreciative to have these interviews working to normalize anxiety and other mental health issues. Today's conversation with Patrick is one that inspires us to relate to others and practice empathy.

Vulnerability is Power

Our guest today, Shayna Renee Hammond, is the CEO and founder of Lead for Liberation and Indigo Women and has spent several years developing leaders that demonstrate emotional intelligence inclusivity, and diversity. Shayna explains the spiritual call she had several years before she launched Lead for Liberation which ultimately lead to the birth of Indigo Women. Indigo Women is a coaching practice specifically for black women in leadership and all sectors. Its flagship program is the 9-week Indigo Women Group Coaching Experience, where really women are called back home. During our conversation, Shayna shares her excitement about the future of leadership, and how more and more people are opening up their minds and hearts around being more open about what it means to be a leader and not so tightly held to the beliefs that we've had for the past 30 or 40 years.
