Becoming a Somatic Leader in the Workplace with Zahara Jade (Ep 132)

When was the last time you listened to what your nervous system was trying to tell you?

Do you know how to work with your bodily reactions to conflict in the workplace?Throughout the workday, your nervous system can come in and out of activated states as you enter into challenging conversations with your boss, colleagues, and vendors. More often than not, our reactions to difficult situations at work can often be linked back to experiences we've had throughout our life, sometimes even as early as foundational memories from childhood.

In today's episode our guest, Zahara Jade, explains how and why traumatic memories are often stored somatically in the body, and how emotional access can be a crucial component of healing.

Zahara also shares her wisdom on how childhood experiences can lead to disconnection from emotions and the importance of reconnecting with the body to access important emotional truths. By tuning in to this episode, you will not only gain a better understanding of your approach to conflict in the workplace, but in your life as a whole.

Be sure to tune in next week to listen in to part two of this engaging conversation with Zahara Jade.
