Send us Fan MailWhat if the key to navigating workplace stress, building authentic relationships, and making confident decisions was already within you—wired into your brain and ready to be reclaimed?In this episode, we’re joined by George Brooks, a globally respected leadership expert with over 37 years of international consulting experience. George pulls back the curtain on how our nervous system—especially the amygdala, our brain’s fear centre—shapes how we respond under pressure, and why so many smart, capable women feel overwhelmed, overlooked, or emotionally drained at work.For midlife women in particular, this conversation is a game-changer. Whether you’re leading a team, transitioning careers, or simply questioning what truly matters now, George offers practical tools to regulate stress, find your voice, and respond with clarity and purpose—even in the hardest conversations.George’s “Mindbursts” method delivers short, powerful micro-practices to help with everything from performance anxiety and boundary-setting to imposter syndrome and emotional burnout.You’ll also learn why modern attention spans are shrinking, how small emotional acknowledgments can deepen trust, and how understanding your personal “motivation matrix” can unlock lasting change—at work and in life.This is for the woman who’s done proving herself and is ready to lead from within.Visit our website to find out more about this week's guest.All of our guests, including this one, are included in our Guest Directory so that you can find out more about them and the work that they do.https://midliferebelpodcast.com/guest-directoryIf you'd like to support the show you can buy me a coffee!https://buymeacoffee.com/midliferebelpodcast
