I ignored it. I was believing that I was the Superwoman; that I was invincible.”“Be careful what you think, and what your mind says, because your body is listening.”“I'm a much better leader, I'm a much better spouse, and I'm a much better mother because I'm more balanced now. ““People don't realize that when you're burnt out and you're working all day and all night, you're not your best.”“We're so caught up in achieving, proving, pleasing, and moving forward. We forget that we are a physical body and there's a human here. There is an energy that's within us that if we don't manage it, if we don't really take care of this container, all of the other things we're doing are useless.”“Perspective will shift your response, which ultimately will shift the outcome to be positive.”“You can be resilient if that's what you choose.”Connect with today’s guest on Linkedin: PaShon MannConnect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @leadershipcoachjanetIf you want to become more grounded, confident, and aligned with your deeper values in just 21 days, check out Janet Ioli’s book Less Ego, More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.  Select “Listen in Apple Podcasts,” then choose the “Ratings & Reviews” tab to share what you think.  Produced by Ideablossoms
