In this episode of Media Rebel Unplugged, we dive into the hidden costs of emotional overfunctioning in leadership and how it impacts women entrepreneurs and their business mindset. Even the smartest and most emotionally intelligent leaders can find themselves over giving, over explaining, over working, or over reacting, which can hold back their leadership effectiveness and personal growth.

Joining Janice is guest Diane McDowell, therapist and Coach, Creator of the Brain to Heart Code

We explore how this behavior ties back to nervous system wiring and share practical strategies to stop shrinking, stop people-pleasing, and reconnect with your authentic self. You'll learn about essential leadership skills such as setting strong boundaries, using power sentences to stay grounded, understanding brain patterns that affect relationship dynamics, and a simple 3-step Brain to Heart Code.

Whether you are a woman entrepreneur or a leader looking to strengthen your mindset and leadership presence, this episode provides valuable insights into managing emotional dynamics for more effective and empowering leadership.

What you’ll learn:
• Why boundaries are about what you will do, not what others respect
• How to use a power sentence to stay grounded when someone keeps pushing
• Why your brain scans for danger, not connection, and how that hijacks relationships and leadership
• A simple way to separate facts from drama when you’re spiraling
• The 3-step Brain to Heart Code: wise watcher, safety, return to you

What if forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook but about setting yourself free?
On tomorrow's podcast episode on Media Rebel Unplugged we talk about `forgiveness` and its true meaning. We explore how practicing `healing` through forgiveness can bring `freedom` and foster stronger `relationships`. This episode offers practical `steps to forgiveness` to help you find your `inner peace buddhism` and move forward.

Janice Becker sits down with Shannon Curtis for a raw, grounded conversation about forgiveness as a selfish act, resilience after deep hurt, and reclaiming mental clarity when anger and trauma try to take control.

This is not a surface level take on forgiveness. Shannon shares why forgiveness is not about religion, permission, or pretending something didn’t happen. It is about releasing the emotional grip that keeps you stuck, heavy, and disconnected from yourself.

We talk about:
• Why forgiveness is misunderstood and often resisted
• How holding anger gives power to the person who hurt you
• The connection between forgiveness, emotional resilience, and mental clarity
• Letting go without excusing harm
• Choosing peace for yourself, not for someone else

This conversation is honest, challenging, and deeply freeing for anyone navigating healing, personal growth, or the long road back to themselves.
