291: From Rock Bottom To Resilience: The Feminine Power Of Negotiating Your Life Back

Life has a way of bringing us to our knees—moments when everything we thought was solid falls away, and the path forward feels uncertain or even impossible. Yet it is often in those lowest moments that a quieter, deeper power begins to emerge. A power rooted not in control or dominance, but in persistence, compassion, and the courage to choose oneself again.   In this powerful episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Dr. Patricia V. Smith for a deeply moving conversation titled "From Rock Bottom to Resilience: The Feminine Power of Negotiating Your Life Back." Dr. Smith, author of I Persist, is a passionate advocate for mental health and women's empowerment, and she brings both wisdom and lived experience to this discussion.   This conversation is an invitation to explore what it truly means to negotiate your life back after rock bottom—to reclaim your voice, your worth, and your future. It is about resilience as a feminine strength, and the transformative choice to rise, not by force, but by honoring your inner wisdom and refusing to give up on yourself.   During this episode, we unpack:   The power of hope. How hope can be use as a negotiation strategy? How feminine traits can create better outcomes? The role inner negotiation plays in changing your mindset. What is social awareness? And many more!   Learn more about Dr. Patricia:   Website: www.ipersist.net Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ipersist_patricia/   Get her book: Link   If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.
