Making Friends with Ego | SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast with Eva Alexandre

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode of SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, host Nicole George connects with Eva Alexandre, a business coach, consumer behavior expert, and founder of InLight Insight Incorporated, who supports founders and women leaders through her 7D Resonant Business Architect framework and created the Resonant Path transformational game. In a conversation themed around “Power and Ego” (the March New Moon issue), Eva shares why she wrote her article “Making Friends With Ego,” describing a 17-year journey from trying to transcend and “kill” the ego to seeing ego as a protective friend that carries gifts. She explains how to distinguish fear-based ego responses from soul-aligned choices, using questions about comfort versus resistance, alignment with vision, and what action is possible, and outlines a process for building courage by identifying which ego “part” is afraid, speaking with it, and seeking support from a friend, community, therapist, or coach. Eva and Nicole discuss perfectionism as a common protective pattern, and Eva describes “parts work” steps for recognizing how perfectionism fails to protect, assigning a new supportive role to that part, and taking imperfect action. In a coaching-style segment on “finding the silver lining,” Nicole shares experiences of childhood sexual abuse and the pain of not being believed when reporting it, connecting it to her mission of creating Sovereign to address the silencing of women, including later experiences of feeling silenced and systemic mistrust. Eva guides Nicole to reframe anger into awareness and higher-vibration action, emphasizing community and collective voice as a path to change. The episode ends with an invitation to connect with Eva through the Sovereign community and show notes for working with her.00:00 Trigger Warning + Welcome01:06 Meet Eva Alexander: Business Coach & Resonant Path Creator02:13 Power & Ego Theme: Why Eva Wrote “Making Friends With Ego03:36 Ego as Protector: Turning Overthinking into Soul-Aligned Choice09:24 Building Courage: Talking to the Ego Parts + Finding Support11:57 Breaking Perfectionism: Reassigning the Ego’s Role to Move Forward16:33 Live Coaching Demo: Finding the Silver Lining (Trigger Warning)19:51 Reframing Trauma into Purpose: From Silencing to Sovereign Voice22:45 From Anger to Awareness: Shifting Energy to Create Change28:03 How to Work with Eva + Final Takeaways & Goodbye Connect with Eva AlexandreEmailInstagramWebsiteProducer’s credits:Nicole George - Podcast Host | CEO/Founder SOVEREIGN Magazine® | Editor-in-Chief Ariane Lim - Podcast Producer + EngineerSara Wagle - Audio Efficiency & Flow ManagerLatest Issue: Click here Become a Columnist: learn more here.Connect with Us:InstagramFacebookLinkedInSubstackYouTubeThreads
