#114 - Part 2: Living Real: Redefining Success, Presence, and Happiness with Dr. Camille Preston

In the second half, Ryan and Dr. Preston get tactical. Camille explains emotional intelligence as awareness + regulation (inner and outer), how leaders can choose the right “helicopter altitude,” why self-care isn’t selfish (dysregulated leaders = dysregulated orgs), and how small, doable practices (water, sleep, reach-outs, movement) rebuild capacity. She also shares how she blends psychology + executive coaching—and why workplaces are ready for real.
