Episode 193: Your Inner Game Creates Your Outer Results w/Dre Baldwin

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, I am joined by Dre Baldwin to uncover strategies to cultivate a winning mindset, develop unwavering confidence, and build the mental toughness needed to thrive in any endeavor. Join us as we discover how to train our minds for success, develop a daily routine that builds discipline and resilience, and use affirmations to change limiting beliefs. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • The Influence of Thoughts on Water - As humans, composed of approximately 90% water, our thoughts can significantly impact our being and the outcomes we produce.  
  • Four Pillars of the Work on Your Game Mindset - Discipline, confidence, mental toughness, and personal Initiative are the principles that guide individuals toward achieving their highest potential to succeed in their personal and professional endeavors.  
  • Translating Sports Skills to Business Success - When moving from sports to business, you need to understand how to present your skills in a way that makes sense to others, essentially codifying your expertise for a new audience. 
  • Who are the High Performers? - High performers are driven, ambitious, and open to improvement. They're the people who set ambitious goals and work hard to achieve them. 
  • The Role of Coaching - Coaches do more than just provide answers; they provide insights by helping people ask the right questions and empower people by addressing the root causes of their problems. 


Helpful Resource: 

Reframing Failures- Humans have a very fragile relationship with failure but we can always choose to redefine our relationship with it and be able to be mentally resilient. 

 

Notable Highlights: 

"Since we are 90% water, the way we think impacts our being and the way we end up producing results." 

"Sometimes to fill that gap between what you see, what you hear, and what you know, what you should do is that accountability piece."

The Black Mind Garden: ReTrain Your Brain!
Episode 192: A Rebirth: Sheree Carara's Journey with MS

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, I am joined by Sheree Carara to share the importance of recognizing emotional disconnect, surrendering to the process of healing, and the transformative potential of rebirth therapy. Throughout our conversation, Sheree and I recognized that true healing often begins with a willingness to confront and embrace all aspects of the self. Join us in this illuminating episode as we journey together toward greater emotional awareness, acceptance, and wholeness.

Key Takeaways:

  • Recognizing Emotional Disconnect - When we feel distant from our feelings and inner experiences, being honest with ourselves about our situation is the first step to reconnecting with our emotions.
  • Helping People to Heal - The healing you acquire should not only cultivate a thankful heart within yourself but also extend that gratitude outward and be a source of healing and support for those around you.
  • The Courage to Surrender - Surrendering frees us from the burden of trying to control everything and allows us to trust our inner resources to handle any challenges amidst uncertainty.
  • Being a Master of Your Emotions - When you're the master of your emotions, you can maintain inner peace even in the face of chaos and approach challenges with a clear mind and an open heart.

Helpful Resource:

Rebirth therapy focuses on helping individuals detoxify their emotions and release past traumas, allowing them to experience personal transformation and healing.


Notable Highlights:

“In our society today, in general, everybody is so disconnected from emotion, disconnected from our bodies and experiencing our bodies and we're disconnected from each other.”

“When I finally surrendered and just let go of needing to know this has to be fixed, I was able to get the clarity, strength, and courage to get the divorce.”

“What we know is, that trauma lives in the mind, but trauma lives in the body, and the emotions are in the body.”


About Sheree Carara

Sheree Carara is a passionate advocate for holistic healing and spiritual growth. Since her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis in 2013, Sheree has embraced naturopathy as her primary source of healing. As a naturopathic doctor, certified soul adjustment sound healer, Kemetic yoga instructor, and author, she channels her experiences and ancestral wisdom into empowering others on their healing journeys.

Her recent book, "Guru Girl," is a testament to her experiences as a black woman navigating life with multiple sclerosis. Through laughter, joy, pain, and rebirth, she shares insights and offers solace to those facing similar challenges. With compassion and authenticity, Sheree reminds us that we are never alone no matter what obstacles we face.

The Black Mind Garden: ReTrain Your Brain!
Episode 191: Rediscovering your Purpose w/ Dr. Cassandra Dunbar

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, I am joined by Dr. Cassandre Dunbar to share with you the importance of rediscovering your purpose and how we can bridge the gap from health to wellness. Dr. Dunbar emphasizes that wellness is a journey of constant rediscovery and that our purpose is innately within us. Buckle up and learn with us as we explore how to find and nurture your purpose, and understand the role of acceptance and flexibility in personal growth.  

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • To Thrive and Not Just Survive - Life is not just about getting through each day but about thriving in all aspects—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.  
  • How To Get Still - In a world that often values productivity and constant activity, getting still can be a powerful tool for finding balance, peace, and purpose in our lives. 
  • Going Back To Your Childhood - The practice of reflecting on what you enjoyed and were good at as a child can help guide you in rediscovering your purpose in life. 
  • The Beauty of Flexibility - Just like kids who can easily switch from one activity to another, we should be flexible in life. If one plan doesn't work, we can try another without feeling stuck. 

 

Helpful Resource: 

When we accept our current situation, it doesn't mean we're satisfied with it. It just means we acknowledge it and can work with it to move forward. 

 

Notable Highlights: 

“Life is a discovery and a constant rediscovery too.” 

"People with less external resources can still end up thriving." 

"The resources and the tools to thrive are not always outside you. It's coming to remember and unlock the resources and the tools inside of you." 

"The hustle and bustle of our lives make us silence our inner voice, inner wisdom, inner intuition, and it makes us seek outside for these tools which are inside." 

"As we think about changing the world, like we can start within our families, home, and workplace and create ripple effects." 

"We need to allow our purpose to evolve." 

 

About Dr. Cassandre Dunbar  

Dr. Cassandre Dunbar wears many hats. She is a mother of two young boys, a medical doctor, a wife, an educator, a wellness writer, and the host of the Be Well, Sis Podcast. Dr. Dunbar is deeply dedicated to promoting wellness and self-care among Black millennial women. Her journey began after completing medical school, where she realized a significant disparity between her education and the true essence of wellness. Her pursuit of knowledge uncovered the lack of inclusivity in the wellness community. Since then, she has been committed to providing thoroughly researched information for those who are often overlooked.

The Black Mind Garden: ReTrain Your Brain!
Episode 190: The Value of Naming Your Emotional Experience

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, I will share with you my journey of waking up in an uncomfortable emotional space and how I overcame it by naming and acknowledging my emotions, creating a safe space to express them, and truly listening to my body. You will also learn of the harmful myth of leaving your feelings at the door and the impact this mindset can have on our relationships and well-being. 


Key Takeaways:

  • Leave Your Feelings at the Door - Though there are some life instances wherein we have to table our feelings, we must prioritize emotional health by finding healthy ways to process and express our emotions in the long term.
  • Communication Beyond Words - Communication is more than just the words we speak because it includes our body, emotions, and sensations.
  • Naming Our Emotional Experience - The earlier we can recognize that something is happening that we need to take notice of, the faster we can begin to explore the emotions we’re feeling.
  • Consult the Feelings Wheel - Getting to the root of your emotions will allow you to understand and know how to take care of yourself.
  • Expanding Your Emotional Fluency - It involves not only becoming more aware of our own emotions but also learning how to navigate and express them in a way that promotes healthy relationships and emotional well-being.


Helpful Resource:

Listening to Your Body - Our bodies are incredible instruments of communication. They often convey our emotional states long before our minds can fully process them. The ability to interpret the signals our bodies send us is a powerful tool for emotional intelligence and self-care.

Notable Highlights:

“Oftentimes when we don't name our emotions, when we don't honor what's going on with ourselves, it will impact the people around us.”

“Oftentimes, what we can't name, we often dismiss or try to push away.”

“When you name your emotional experience, it gives you access to what you need to do next to take care of yourself.”

“If you don't take a moment to honor and name the experience that you're having, then you will end up pushing through and the impact of your experience will often bleed on others.”

“Some people shy away from positive emotional experiences because they're so used to negative emotional experiences that positive emotional experiences feel foreign.”

Episode 189: The Spousification of Black Males and the Impact of Being in a Love Relationship with Len Sturdivant

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, Coach Leonard joins me to discuss how parents can prevent emotional incest, set healthy emotional boundaries with their kids, and talk about feelings without making them feel responsible for adult emotions. Buckle up as we explore this crucial aspect of parenting and learn practical strategies for promoting healthy emotional development in our kids. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Emotional Incest - A situation where a child is placed in a role of emotional support usually reserved for a spouse. 
  • Setting Boundaries - Parents should clearly communicate what is appropriate and inappropriate in terms of emotional expression and interaction with children. 
  • Gender-Specific Roles - The same-sex parent plays a significant role in shaping a child's understanding of gender roles and relationships. 
  • Breaking a Pattern Through Conversation - An honest and open conversation between parents and children is crucial for breaking the pattern of emotional incest. 

 

Helpful Resource: 

The three-step approach of awareness, acceptance, and action can be a powerful tool for addressing challenges with a sense of mindfulness.  

 

Notable Highlights: 

"Mama was always harder on the daughter than on the son if dad was not in the picture, that spousification thing is starting to gel now." 

"It's important to understand that as that vacuum takes place because of a parent's absence, it's not appropriate for a child to take care of that." 

"Crossing the generational line comes from wanting to fix or solve the problem so that you can feel better." 

"It's ok for a parent to show emotion in front of their child so long as they're not putting the responsibility on the child for them to make their child responsible for fixing." 

"A child's first language is energy." 

"The most important person usually in the child's life is the same sex parent." 

"Denial is a river in Egypt, but it's also a thing we tend to do when we feel convicted."

The Black Mind Garden: ReTrain Your Brain!
Episode 188: Holding Space for the Complexity and Contradictions of Trauma

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, I will share with you the complexities and contradictions that come with trauma and how we can embody the art of holding space for these complexities. Buckle up as we discover how trauma responses differ among individuals and how empathy, understanding, and emotional intelligence can foster healing and help us make a difference.


Key Takeaways:

  • Complexity of Trauma - Everyone probably carries some trauma that lives differently in different people and looks differently as it manifests in behavior and communication.
  • Trauma Responses - It is the body and the mind's signal to us that there is physical, psychological, emotional, or social danger or threat.
  • Acknowledging Multiple Truths - Let’s begin holding space for two things that can be true and let go of the scarcity thinking that if one person is right, the has to be wrong.
  • Honest Communication - Our society needs to advocate for honest communication because when it’s done in the right way, it is very useful.
  • Access to Empathy - Instead of only seeing things from our own perspective, we can gain empathy by stepping back and observing interactions from a neutral standpoint.


Helpful Resource:

Holding space helps us navigate the complexity of trauma as we allow other people's harm to be valid and still not invalidate our own experience.


Notable Highlights:

“Almost everyone probably carries some trauma. You can't have lived a life and not been impacted.”


“The belief sets up the view of how people see things, communicate, receive communication, how they experience emotion or not, and how they dissociate from emotion.”


“When people are responding from trauma, oftentimes they're in tunnel vision.”


“Both people can be correct in certain ways and manners.”


“Acknowledging another person's harm does not invalidate the trauma that you've experienced.”


“The reaction from the wounded place is not the most powerful reaction and it can be harmful. On the other hand, recognizing the wounded place is powerful.”

Episode 187: Coaching - What it is and What it isn't with Dr. Kimmy Reynolds

In this week's Mind Remapping episode, I am joined by Dr. Kimmy Reynolds to share with you what truly coaching is and what it isn’t, and how to effectively empower coaches to adapt to their client’s unique needs. Tune in as we explore the keys to unlocking your potential and transforming your approach to coaching, sales, and life.  

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Coaching Relationship - Coaching is a partnership between two people wherein a coach helps the other facilitate movement. 
  • Expanded Listening - Coaching involves a form of listening that goes beyond just words, diving into the non-verbal cues and underlying thoughts. 
  • Powerful Questions - Asking powerful questions helps uncover deeper values and thoughts that clients may not express directly. 
  • Coach Training - The right training unlocks a blind spot in listening and asking powerful questions. 
  • Frameworks and Self-trust - Frameworks bring psychological safety that fills people's need to feel safe. 
  • Internal Safety - To be able to observe our work as coaches from a neutral place, it all has to start within yourself that you don't need anything from your clients. 

 

Helpful Resource: 

Anchoring confidence in coaching is a valuable tool for enhancing effectiveness and creating a supportive environment for clients.  

 

Notable Highlights: 

"Coaching is misrepresented in a way that a coach tells a person what to do, but that is not coaching. It is a partnership between two people." 

“Framework bridges where your clients are and where they want to be. People want a roadmap, they want to know where they're going, and they need that structure to feel safe.” 

 

About Dr. Kimmy Reynolds, MD 

Dr. Kimmy is a double Board-Certified Pediatric Hospitalist and CEO of The Doctor Coach School. She first built her business as a Procrastination Coach, helping professional women break the cycle of self-sabotage so that they could level up their lives after she was able to push through procrastination and develop systems and processes to overcome her own overwhelm. 

 

She built a multi-six-figure coaching business from scratch, and over time other women doctors wanted to know her process for creating a profitable coaching business; Dr. Kimmy then began 

helping women doctors master their messaging and learn how to sell. She was able to help several of her clients develop thriving coaching businesses and sell high-ticket, high-impact coaching.

This led to the creation of The Doctor Coach  School. DCS is for doctors who want to learn the mindset, belief-set, and strategies to build a thriving coaching business that is rooted in purpose. Dr. Kimmy believes that the only way to fully master coaching is to coach lots of clients, and the only way to create lots of clients is through confident selling.

Episode 185: How the Insider-Outsider Paradigm Threatens Psychological Safety w/ Noah Prince

SHOWNOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by Noah Prince, and we delve deep into the crucial topics of psychological safety and the insider-outsider paradigm. We discuss how these concepts intersect within organizational dynamics and personal relationships, shedding light on the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and respected.

The conversation begins with an exploration of the exodus witnessed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial justice protests, where many professionals, particularly women and people of color, opted for remote work and entrepreneurship due to concerns about psychological safety and equity in traditional workplace settings.

Dr. Maiysha and Noah dissect the performative nature of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, emphasizing the need for genuine introspection and systemic change within organizations to foster true psychological safety. They highlight the role of leadership in setting the tone for organizational culture and the imperative of creating safe spaces for learning, growth, and making mistakes.

Drawing parallels between organizational dynamics and personal relationships, they stress the importance of practicing empathy, active listening, and self-reflection to cultivate psychological safety in all aspects of life. They tease an upcoming collaborative training initiative aimed at merging the insider-outsider paradigm with psychological safety training to enhance organizational culture and effectiveness.

I encourage you to apply the insights gained from this episode not only within your professional life but also within your families, communities, and personal growth journey. Noah and I invite your engagement if you're interested in transforming your culture and improving overall well-being and effectiveness, whether as an individual or as part of an organization. Let's embark on this journey together towards creating inclusive environments and fostering psychological safety.

Episode 184: The Information Black Hole; Moving from Talking About to Taking Action

SHOW NOTES:

In This week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we delve into the topic of The Information Black Hole. How to move from talking to taking action. 

Dr. Maiysha draws from her experiences as a coach and organizational consultant to identify the common tendency termed "analysis paralysis" observed in individuals navigating their careers. Through a personal example of her journey into real estate investing, Dr. Maiysha highlights the trap of endlessly seeking information without taking decisive action. There's a critical point where continuous learning must transition from conceptual understanding to practical application.

I emphasize the significance of moving from theory to action, drawing insights from my experience in real estate, and extending the discussion to address broader career changes and transitions.

There are parallels between personal experiences and organizational challenges, particularly in anti-racism, anti-oppression, and trauma-informed communication. The common tendency is to focus on learning concepts without effectively applying them within organizational settings. Leaders need to bridge the gap between understanding the concepts and actively developing personal skills, thereby shaping the culture within their respective domains.

Further, I'll stress the importance of taking action by engaging in hard conversations and practicing new communication and listening skills. Acknowledging the inherent messiness in the process, I'll underscore the necessity of learning from real-time experiences. The discussion will link organizational culture to leadership development, highlighting the pivotal role of leaders in setting the tone for anti-oppression and trauma-informed practices.

In conclusion, do self-reflection on your leadership to identify areas where you may be stuck on concepts and consider reaching out for assistance in bridging the gap.

Episode 183: We Are All Entrepreneurs w/ Dr. Una of EntreMD
SHOWNOTES: In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by a seasoned entrepreneur and physician, Dr. Una, as she passionately shares insights into how every physician, whether employed or not, possesses the mindset and potential to be an entrepreneur. She emphasizes the importance of questioning conventional beliefs, using the example of money as a tool rather than an inherently good or bad entity. The conversation delves into the significance of financial freedom and its direct link to overall freedom in both personal and professional realms. Dr. Una challenges the notion that money is only perceived as a problem when one earns it for themselves, highlighting the paradoxical attitude towards wealth within the healthcare space. Drawing attention to the healthcare system's financial structure, she questions why earning money becomes an issue only when individuals strive for financial independence. The discussion unravels the crucial role of entrepreneurship in achieving financial freedom, with Dr. Una underscoring the potential for physicians to leverage their skills and knowledge to create assets and build sustainable businesses. Throughout the episode, the conversation expands to address the multifaceted aspects of entrepreneurship. Dr. Una advocates for the recognition of personal brand as a valuable asset and encourages physicians to explore various avenues, such as public speaking, podcasting, or consulting, to build their brand. She emphasizes the importance of expertise and experience, reminding physicians that they are already experts in their fields, which can be translated into entrepreneurial opportunities. Dr. Maiysha and Dr. Una discuss actionable steps for physicians, both employed and entrepreneurial, to enhance their professional lives. They explore strategies for building personal brands, such as networking, social media presence, and podcast interviews. Dr. Una shares the success stories of physicians who transitioned from being employed to entrepreneurs by strategically building their personal brands and, consequently, their businesses. The significance of treating one's career as an asset, drawing from Dr. Una's own experiences and the lessons she learned from a physician attempting to sell an unstructured practice. The importance of viewing a business as an asset capable of functioning independently is emphasized, challenging physicians to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset for long-term success. To empower listeners further, Dr. Maiysha and Dr. Una touch upon the resources available through EntreMD, Dr. Una's platform dedicated to supporting physicians in their entrepreneurial journeys. They discuss the EntreMD podcast, the EntreMD Method book, and the EntreMD Business School, offering invaluable resources for physicians seeking to thrive in entrepreneurship. Dr. Una invites listeners to explore these resources and take a proactive step towards transforming their careers and financial well-being.

Episode 182: What Most People Miss About The Importance of Psychological Safety

SHOW NOTES:

In This week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we delve into the topic of What Most People Miss About The Importance of Psychological Safety.

Dr. Maiysha discusses the four stages of psychological safety outlined by Dr. Timothy Clark: feeling safe to be included, safe to learn, safe to contribute, and safe to challenge. Starting with the importance of feeling included, she explores the impact of inclusivity in personal and professional settings, shedding light on the initial guardedness that diminishes when one feels included.

Moving on to the need for a safe space to learn, Dr. Maiysha examines the importance of making mistakes and learning through trial and error. She discusses the adverse effects of criticism and perfectionism on our ability to learn and grow. Exploring the connection between feeling safe to contribute and fostering creativity, she delves into how constant criticism and negativity can suppress one's ability to contribute meaningfully.

Dr. Maiysha highlights the broader impact of psychological safety on mental health, job satisfaction, and overall engagement within organizations. Additionally, she discusses the vital link between feeling safe to contribute and the willingness to challenge the status quo, emphasizing the role of psychological safety in promoting growth and creativity.

Dr. Maiysha stresses the responsibility of leaders to set the tone for psychological safety in organizations, communities, and households. She discusses how leaders play a crucial role in shaping the culture and influencing the psychological safety of those around them.

Encouraging listeners to assess their environments, she provides practical advice on changing communities or initiating conversations around psychological safety. Dr. Maiysha explores the often-overlooked aspects of non-verbal communication and how they contribute to creating a psychologically safe space.

In conclusion, she wraps up the episode by reiterating the holistic nature of psychological safety, extending beyond a mere buzzword. Dr. Maiysha encourages you to reflect on your own experiences and actively cultivate safety in your respective spaces.

Episode 181: Reconnecting to Our Humanity w/ Mickey Feher

SHOWNOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by Mickey Feher, owner of Mindset Maps, to dive deep into the intricacies of reconnecting with our humanity. Mickey, an immigrant with a rich background in corporate and personal development spanning 25 years, shares his insights into the fascinating world of mindset and the pivotal role it plays in shaping our lives.

We explore the essence of humanity, masculinity, and femininity, unraveling the threads that weave through our diverse experiences. As an immigrant in the United States, Mickey reflects on his unique perspective and the differences he observed, sparking a profound interest in understanding humanity and the underlying mindset that influences our interactions.

Mickey sheds light on Mindset Maps, an institute he co-founded with Robert B. Dilts, designed to visualize and understand mindset through an online inventory and map. We delve into the significance of mindset in personal and professional growth, highlighting its impact on achieving our goals.

Mindset's Impact on Humanity:

Understanding and shaping our mindset is pivotal in navigating the complexities of humanity and influencing our perceptions of masculinity, femininity, and the world around us.

Difficult Conversations as Catalysts for Growth:

Difficult conversations are not roadblocks but pathways to deeper connections. Embracing vulnerability and honesty in these dialogues fosters personal and relational growth.

Mindset Maps for Personal and Professional Growth:

Mindset maps, introduced by Mickey Feher, provide a visual tool for individuals to explore and understand their mindset. Shifting focus from expecting others to change to personal agency is emphasized for positive transformation.

Lean into discomfort for relationship building:

Building meaningful relationships requires leaning into discomfort and embracing curiosity. Honoring differences while remaining sensitive creates a space for genuine connection.


The Curious Mindset:

Cultivating a curious mindset allows for a shift in perspective. Instead of seeing differences as obstacles, viewing them as opportunities to learn and connect fosters a richer human experience.

Empowerment Through Personal Agency:

Recognizing personal agency is crucial for change. The solution to relationship challenges begins with self-reflection and a willingness to shift one's own mindset rather than expecting external changes.

The Transformative Power of Difficult Conversations:

Difficult conversations, often feared, are revealed to be transformative. They serve as the foundation of relationships, offering opportunities for self-discovery, growth, and shared understanding.


Mindfulness in Relationships:

Mindfulness in navigating relationships involves being present, acknowledging differences, and approaching conversations with respect and sensitivity.

Episode 180: How Emotional Intelligence Mitigates Harmful Communication

SHOW NOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we talk about how emotional intelligence mitigates harmful communication. As we explore emotional intelligence, I want to emphasize its timeless nature and often overlooked significance, both at the organizational and individual levels. Even as awareness of emotional intelligence grows, the hustle and bustle of daily life often leads us to default to our primal instincts. In these moments, the ability to create a pause between instinct and reaction becomes crucial. Emotional intelligence, or what I like to call emotional fluency, comes into play here.

Let's zoom in on emotional regulation, a key component of emotional intelligence. This skill involves inserting a pause between experiencing an emotion and reacting to it. Unchecked reactions can lead to significant harm, be it physical, emotional, or psychological. In personal relationships, the absence of this pause can result in emotional and psychological harm, especially in contexts like parent-child relationships or intimate partnerships. It's essential to understand that modeling emotional regulation is crucial for the next generation, and many of us may not have learned this skill in our formative years.

Disagreements are inevitable in any partnership or business collaboration. However, these disagreements need not escalate into harmful communication. I often speak about psychological safety, particularly within organizations, and the harm that arises from an inability or unwillingness to emotionally pause and regulate oneself. I address the privilege some individuals may have in expressing their emotions without consequences and the need to hold everyone accountable for their emotional expressions.

From a generational standpoint, I share my personal experience growing up with parents from the baby boomer generation, where emotions were often felt but rarely discussed. The lack of context for emotional regulation during my upbringing contrasted with a professional environment where some could freely express their emotions in harmful ways. Whether one emotes outwardly or internalizes emotions, the ability to recognize and regulate them becomes paramount.

Techniques such as counting, taking a breath, or stepping away can create a crucial pause between emotion and reaction. The importance of personal anchors or phrases tailored to individual preferences is highlighted. I stress the significance of proactive brainstorming to be prepared for emotional situations, ensuring one stays ready to regulate emotions effectively. Communication, both verbal and nonverbal, underlies everything, and prioritizing the development of emotional intelligence is key for personal, communal, and organizational growth.

Episode 178: The Way in Which We Listen Can Cultivates or Destroy Psychological Safety

SHOW NOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we talk about how the way in which we listen can cultivate or destroy psychological safety. Recently, I've been diving deep into the realm of psychological safety, exploring a space where the freedom to express, make mistakes, challenge, and feel included converges, as Dr. Timothy Clark outlines. Today, I want to shift the focus to how our listening habits can either nurture or erode the sense of safety in our relationships.

As we explore the creation of psychological safety, it's essential to acknowledge that emotional safety is also a key component. I'm eager to discuss how our listening techniques play a pivotal role in this process. Typically, we listen with the intent to respond, judging and assessing, which can lead us to be mentally absent during a conversation. Even when we appear engaged externally, our internal filters can be detected, influencing the speaker's perception of our attentiveness.

One crucial aspect is nonverbal communication, where our body language, facial expressions, and eye movements subtly convey our level of presence. In my coaching trainings, I conduct an exercise to demonstrate how intentionally breaking rapport during a conversation can significantly impact the speaker, even in a controlled environment. This highlights the power of nonverbal cues in either opening or shutting down a conversation.

Interrupting is another common behavior that can make individuals feel unheard and unimportant. Additionally, listening through our own judgmental filters rather than understanding the deeper commitment behind the communication can hinder constructive dialogue. Actively listening for the speaker's commitment and intention can lead to responses that foster understanding and appreciation.

Moving beyond personal relationships, effective listening has broader implications for organizational leadership. In large groups with varied power dynamics, feeling unheard or invalidated can stifle creativity and collaboration. The way feedback is provided, decisions are made, and biases are communicated all contribute to either opening or closing channels of expression within an organization.

Episode 177: Emotionally Regulating Ourselves As Parents w/ Dr. Ruby Thomas

SHOWNOTES: 

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by the incredible Dr. Ruby Thomas as we discuss how to emotionally regulate ourselves as parents. The conversation delves deep into the realms of emotional intelligence and astrology, exploring how these insights can transform our parenting journey.

We explored the importance of recognizing and addressing our hidden emotions. Dr. Ruby sheds light on the power of acknowledging our unconscious stories and rewriting them to create space between our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We discuss the significance of taking that crucial breath before responding and how it can reshape our interactions with our children.

Dr. Ruby reflects on the generational shifts in parenting styles. We share insights on the evolution of parenting, emphasizing the importance of creating safe spaces for our children to express themselves authentically. Our conversation takes a poignant turn as we discuss the challenges of emotional regulation and how Dr. Ruby navigates these moments with her own children.

We also explored the fascinating intersection of parenting and astrology.

We share personal anecdotes, comparing our moon signs and how they manifest in our parenting journeys.

Our discussion wraps up with a thought-provoking exploration of stress and its role in behavioral change. We delve into the delicate balance of stress—not too much to cause trauma, not too little to lead to complacency. Dr. Ruby emphasizes the importance of modeling emotional regulation, communication, and genuine apologies as parents. We reflect on how our children absorb these behaviors unconsciously and carry them into adulthood.

As we navigate the intricate landscape of parenting, Dr. Ruby provides a unique perspective on integrating astrology into the journey. She highlights the role of astrology in understanding our inherent tendencies and working with them for effective communication and emotional regulation.

Episode 176: The Importance of Understanding How We Represent Language

SHOW NOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we talk about the importance of understanding how we represent language. When we speak, we're essentially painting pictures with our words, and these images can differ significantly based on our individual histories, memories, and filters.

As I engage more in this realm, particularly in the areas of teaching, coaching, and working with executives, I've discovered the foundational importance of understanding how our brains process language. It's intriguing to see how we represent language in various ways, leading to potential misunderstandings.

Let's break it down into the primary modalities of language representation—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Each person tends to lean towards one of these in their learning and processing. For instance, if you're a visual learner, you might find that you need to see things to truly understand them. On the flip side, someone who's more kinesthetic might need to physically engage and walk through concepts to grasp them fully. This distinction is crucial, especially in organizational settings. Recognizing and respecting these differences in communication styles can prevent misunderstandings and enhance team dynamics.

I've noticed this plays out not just in the workplace but also at home, especially when it comes to understanding how our kids learn. It's essential for parents to recognize whether their child is more visual, auditory, or kinesthetic in their learning approach. This insight can be a game-changer in how we support and empower our children in the classroom. The same principle applies to ourselves—knowing how we best learn helps in effective self-communication and understanding.

As we explore these communication dynamics, it's also crucial to touch upon trauma-informed communication. Our past experiences and traumas influence how we process language. By being aware of this, we can approach responses and reactions from a different perspective, leading to more empathetic and effective communication. Despite what most people realize, it’s the unconscious mind that runs us. But how is that so? Get your first primer in 13 minutes! Follow and share these pearls with others.

Episode 175: The Importance of Acknowledging Trauma in the Church w/ Mandii Brown

SHOWNOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by Mandii Brown, also known as the relatable counselor, to explore a topic close to many hearts—church trauma and the path to healing within spiritual communities.

Mandii and I delved into the profound analogy of different denominations being like children in a shared spiritual house, all looking at the same sky. We discussed the varied practices and beliefs within the black church, acknowledging the trauma and hurt that can occur and emphasizing the need for honest conversations to facilitate healing.

We touched on the diverse interpretations of teachings, the impact of historical translations, and the importance of questioning belief systems. Mandii eloquently highlighted the significance of acknowledging church trauma and hurt, naming these experiences, and collectively addressing them as a community.

As we navigated this sensitive terrain, Mandii shed light on the complexities of church rules, the creation of denominations, and the challenge of determining whose teachings are being followed. We unraveled the layers of accountability, especially for church leaders, and the necessity of creating safe spaces for dialogue without condemnation.

Our conversation extended to the geographical nuances, dispelling the myth that church trauma is exclusive to the South. Mandii shared her experiences and emphasized the need for validation, transparency, and a collective commitment to healing.

The discussion took an insightful turn as we explored the role of education in the process. Drawing parallels with anti-racism and anti-oppression work, we highlighted the need for consistent efforts, time, and accountability within spiritual communities.

Mandii brought up a crucial point about the delicate nature of addressing church issues without causing offense, particularly in the Southern context. We acknowledged the uphill battle of leadership accountability, emphasizing the role of education in fostering understanding and growth.

Towards the end, we discussed practical steps to facilitate healing within the church. Mandii stressed the importance of validating experiences, creating safe spaces, and encouraging professional mental health support. We explored the concept of faith-based practitioners and the potential for dedicated mental health ministries within churches.

About Mandii Brown

Mandii's journey in the mental health field has been marked by a commitment to addressing church trauma and promoting mental well-being within spiritual contexts. As a seasoned counselor, she draws on her experiences to navigate the complexities of church dynamics, denominational differences, and the unique challenges faced by individuals within the black church community.

Episode 174: Why The Words We Use Matter

SHOW NOTES:

In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we talk about why the words we use matter. 

Unpacking a recent incident, I shed light on the contrasting headlines surrounding a Montgomery brawl, emphasizing how the choice of words can significantly shape perceptions. Let's explore how our own filters, shaped by our upbringing, beliefs, and experiences, actively influence and shape the mental images created by the language we encounter.

Drawing your attention to the power of words While words constitute only 7% of communication, their importance cannot be understated. You ought to practice mindful communication, which urges you to observe reactions and responses, especially in group settings. By pausing and asking for feedback like "What do you hear me saying?" we can bridge the gap between our intent and others' perceptions.

Let's shift the focus to you as a listener. You need to be proactive in seeking clarification when a statement raises discomfort. I provide a simple yet powerful question: "Was that your intention?" to foster understanding and avoid misunderstandings. I emphasize the role of language in mitigating conflicts, whether in professional relationships, familial dynamics, or social interactions.

There are challenges to asynchronous communication on platforms like social media, where misinterpretations abound. It’s important to initiate dialogue by asking others about their intentions, fostering healthy communication.

You need to apply these communication tools in your daily life to promote better understanding and connection. By being mindful of the words we use and actively seeking clarity in our conversations, we can contribute to more empathetic and effective communication.
