18 Jan 2025
Send us a textWhat if reconnecting with your intuition could transform the way you make decisions under pressure? Our inspiring guest, Tina Parker, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and Neuroencoding expert, shares her journey from military life to mastering decision-making in civilian settings. Tina uncovers the profound impact of societal conditioning on our innate wisdom and how embracing a "trust but verify" mindset can help us navigate life's complexities more effectively. Together, we explore the delicate balance of intuition and information, revealing strategies to rebuild self-trust amidst the overwhelming barrage of modern-day data.Emotional intelligence takes center stage as we explore its pivotal role in enhancing decision-making. Have you ever wondered how much of your decision-making is influenced by the quest for external validation? By tuning into our emotions and subtle cues, like a mother's ability to distinguish her child's cries, we unlock a deeper connection to our inner experiences. Through techniques like breathwork, we regain the calm and clarity needed to make empowered choices. This journey involves pausing, noticing, and choosing our responses to shift from a state of stress to one of centeredness, ultimately improving our confidence in the decisions we make.As we close out our discussion, we address the daunting challenge of analysis paralysis and the value of lifelong learning. Drawing on Tina's background as a public affairs officer, she emphasizes the critical importance of evaluating information sources and nurturing a curious mindset. Learning from mentors such as Joseph McClendon III, who exemplifies practical wisdom, can broaden our perspectives and drive personal growth. We wrap up by reflecting on time's irreplaceable value, encouraging you to be mindful of how it shapes your desired reality. Join us as we inspire you to empower your thoughts and take control of your life's narrative.PLATE & PONDER: EMPTY NESTING w/ Jen & Chris FentonWith a wine buzz, an empty-nesting married couple tackles a full plate of global issues.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
