In this episode, I share some exciting personal updates and invite you to reflect on your own life changes. After starting a master's program in positive psychology and reactivating my chiropractic license, I’m thrilled to return to practice part-time. This journey has been transformative, especially after experiencing burnout in my previous decade of practice.
As I navigate these changes, I’ve decided to adjust the podcast's release schedule. Starting in November, I will be releasing two episodes a month instead of weekly. This shift allows me to focus on the quality of content I provide, ensuring that each episode is meaningful and valuable to you.
I also discuss the importance of balancing commitments without feeling the need to drop everything for new pursuits. Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, I’m embracing a mindset that allows for flexibility and quality in my endeavors. I encourage you to consider where you might be focusing on quantity over quality in your own life and how you can create space for new opportunities without sacrificing what you already have.
Additionally, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter, the Soul Shift Chronicle (www.emergenthumans.co/subscribe), where I’ll share curated content, including highlights from past episodes and insights from my studies. I would love to hear your feedback on the podcast—what you enjoy, what you’d like to see more of, and how I can better serve you. Please shoot me an email at [email protected] and let me know what you'd like to see more of so that I can bring this show to life in the best way for you.
Join me next week for a fantastic interview with my friend Paulina Równy, where we’ll discuss a collaborative project we’ve created together. Thank you for being part of this journey, and I look forward to connecting with you in the coming episodes!

In this episode, Dr. Alex delves into her recent journey of starting a master's program in positive psychology, a field she has been passionate about for years. She shares insights from her studies, particularly focusing on the significance of positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and joy, and their impact on our overall well-being. Dr. Alex highlights the fascinating connection between the heart and emotions, explaining how the heart operates independently of the brain and has its own "heart brain."
She challenges listeners to start to explore their own relationship to their emotions with three simple exercises they can try over the next week. These include:
Removing significance from emotions by stating "I am noticing that I am feeling..." instead of "I am feeling..."
Starting to create a Positivity Portfolio (coined by Dr. Barbara Fredrickson) this can include photos, memories, smells, music etc that elicit positive feelings for you.
Write down Three Good Things (events) that occured that day.
Listen to the full episode to explore the profound relationship between positive psychology and our emotional health!

In this episode, I delve into the concept of leadership and what it truly means to be a leader. This topic was inspired by a recent conversation with a client who was grappling with the traditional, often patriarchal, notions of leadership. Many of us have a stereotypical image of a leader as an assertive, authoritative figure, often embodied by a white male CEO in a power suit. This can make those of us who don't fit that mold feel inadequate or pressured to be someone we're not.
I shared personal stories to illustrate the difference between forcing oneself into a leadership role versus naturally embodying leadership qualities. In high school, I aggressively pursued the role of soccer team captain, which led to a less authentic and more competitive approach. In contrast, years later, I was unexpectedly voted for a Leadership and Entrepreneurship Award in chiropractic school, a recognition that came naturally without me striving for it.
The key takeaway is that true leadership comes from being authentic and connected to our inner strengths and genius. It's about showing up as our true selves rather than conforming to external expectations of what a leader should be. I encourage listeners to reflect on their own leadership roles and identify where they might be forcing themselves to fit a certain image, and instead, find ways to lead authentically.
I also introduced the Women's Leadership Lab, a new initiative launching in September. This hybrid between a mastermind and a membership aims to help women discover and embrace their authentic leadership styles. For more details, listeners can visit emergenthumans.co/links.
I hope this episode inspires you to rethink your approach to leadership and find ease in being your true self in any leadership role you undertake. Join me next week for more insights and a special announcement for our podcast listeners.

In this episode, I delve into the importance of tuning into our emotions and connecting with our hearts. I share my personal journey of realizing how disconnected I was from my feelings and how this disconnection manifested as anxiety and physical symptoms like heartburn. I discuss my recent commitment to a 30-day challenge inspired by HeartMath research, where I spend 30 minutes each day focusing on my emotional landscape.
Throughout the episode, I reflect on my childhood experiences that led me to intellectualize rather than feel my emotions. I talk about the various coping mechanisms I developed, such as overachieving and avoiding conflict, and how these have shaped my adult life. By intentionally connecting with my heart and emotions, I've started to uncover deep-seated habits and childhood wounds.
I encourage listeners to join me in this 30-day challenge, suggesting practical steps like reading a list of emotions daily and paying attention to bodily sensations. I emphasize that connecting with our hearts is a muscle that needs to be developed and that doing so can lead to profound changes in our stress levels, relationships, and overall well-being.
I invite listeners to reach out and share their experiences as we support each other in this journey of emotional exploration and heart connection.

We all have moments of feeling stuck. Today we're unpacking what it looks like to approach getting unstuck from the heart instead of your head.
Dr. Alex shares her recent journey and realizations with this process when following the suggestions of one of her own coaches before realizing adding heart added a lot more depth and a faster, deeper shift in the stuckness than just thinking through it.

This week we're tuning into those moments in life when our gut/heart/intuition has spoken to us, but we've for some reason or another ignored it.
Dr. Alex shares one of her earliest experiences of this from her career in a story about her first and only boss post chiropractic school that involves, guns, jail time and a hit man.
While entertaining, this short episode is also an invitation to you to look for your own gut reactions and instinct calls in your history and start to explore what had you not trust them if you didn't follow their call .

As we celebrate our 250th episode we are exploring the theme of personal growth journeys. Sometimes in the process of our next level we outgrow certain aspects of our lives and have to clear space for change.
With the milestone of the 250th episode, I have reached one of those pinnacles where it is time to leave my role of podcast host behind and instead lean into the mediums of writing and becoming a guest rather than a host. It is with a lot of gratitude, a little sadness and a whole lot of excitement that I share the final episode of this show.
The existing 250 episodes will live on, we will just no longer be adding new episodes. Here's to the growth and changes each of us embraces when we truly lean into the guidance of our heart and allow ourselves to shift in the next version of who we're meant to be.
The show may be ending, but I would love to stay connected with you! Find me on LinkedIn or visit www.emergentwomencoaching.com/links to subscribe to our new newsletter-The Heart of It.
HeartConnect Thursdays will still be streamed live to LinkedIn and YouTube, so make sure you connect with us there.
With love, appreciation and fond farewell,
