"Mandy, you talk too much and you react too emotionally." This critique led me to explore my own emotions at work. I assert emotions are indispensable; success hinges on understanding and reflecting on them. Through research and my podcast on female leadership, I encountered a common yet amusing question: "How do we work if everyone starts crying?" It reveals a misconception associating workplace emotions with tears, not enthusiasm or empathy. Expressing emotions without filter isn't the answer; the key is conscious perception, reflection, and utilizing emotions as vital signals. In my journey, explained in my podcast with the help of Simone, emotions play a crucial role. Reflecting on them allows genuine, sustainable self-awareness, transforming them into guides for passion and motivation.

Self-reflection, handling criticism, and cultivating self-worth are pivotal steps toward personal growth and inner tranquility. Inspired by Simone's powerful transformation with Byron Katie, this episode delves into the transformative journey through self-reflection and criticism.
