Through this process, you’ll align with your deepest self, unshackled from the weight of external pressures and societal expectations.

In this episode, Jess and Suzanne discuss:

Being in a "trust recession" and why authentic online sharing builds the kind of connection that leads to real business relationships. Suzanne shares why vulnerability paired with a pathway forward is what moves people to reach out.

How Suzanne launched her podcast in May 2024 for the sheer fun of it and has already reached 35 countries and 2,600 downloads, interviewing guests weekly with a monthly wisdom drop segment called Wisdom Drops.

The unique pre-interview ritual Suzanne uses with every guest: a centering breath, a moment of presence, and an intention set together before recording begins. Jess shares why this was unlike anything she has experienced in hundreds of podcast appearances.

Why there is no amount of strategy and tactics that will sustainably grow your business if your nervous system is dysregulated, and what it looks like to build a culture that is expansive rather than driven by pressure and burnout.

Suzanne's 50-year evolution as a coach, from organizational development and team leadership to somatic work at the Strozzi Institute, to nervous system resets with a literal massage table in her office.

Research Suzanne is now pursuing after discovering that leaders are spending 60 to 85 percent of their day in disconnection and often cannot identify their own signal to reconnect.
