Rebuilding Leadership from the Inside Out

In a moving episode of "LOA Today," Walt and Camilla dive deep into the journeys that break us and make us whole again.Their conversation radiates the rawness of real-life transitions, from divorce and loss to rediscovered self-worth and the surprising power of emotional choice.Camilla, a coach dedicated to empowering women, shares her “mirror moment” - dragged into a high-conflict divorce that forced her to confront unresolved pain and protect her daughter’s well-being. Asked by Walt, “What was the story that led up to you doing what you’re doing now?” Camilla doesn’t hold back, describing courtroom battles, PTSD, and the epiphany: “If I do not elevate my consciousness and how I'm showing up, how could I help my daughter, who was struggling?” Her answer pulses with courage: “I had to become a different person to reset my daughter, I first had to reset myself.”Walt relates, validating her pain and resilience. They acknowledge how so many, especially high performers, struggle in silence with taboo topics like divorce. Camilla reminds, “We don’t have to be a victim of our feelings. To thrive and be a role model for your kids, you get to learn how to have inner peace.”But the conversation’s emotional power grows as Walt introduces a transformative twist: “Instead of regulating emotions, I like to think of it as selecting emotions.” Camilla lights up at this perspective, and they discuss how we can choose not just to endure, but to elevate our stories. “I am not tied to a default emotion for a given circumstance,  I can select an emotion I would not normally have.” Walt shares an experiment with his emotions, inspired by a flower in nature, realizing, “I had a lot more control over my emotions than I thought. Even if it was a negative situation, I could choose a positive emotion.”Camilla expands this, highlighting the cost of holding onto attachment - emotional ties to the past that silently consume our energy. “I had given way too much power to my ex, even after he was gone from my life.” She recalls coaching clients: “The moment you train your mind to focus on something neutral,  you reclaim space for yourself.”The duo touch on the contagious effect of energy: “Hurt people hurt people, If we don’t deal with our wounds, we serve without love, at home and at work.” They reveal how shifting inner energy ripples outward, raising not only personal but collective consciousness, even impacting corporate cultures.Their dialogue wraps with a powerful insight, as Walt observes, “If you come at AI with the mind of learning, you get smarter, if you wait for it to do all the work, you get dumber. It’s yes to both. The opportunity is in what we choose to make of it.” Camilla agrees: real growth lies not in the tool, but in how consciously we use it.This conversation is a reminder that we are the artists of our own emotional palette.Like Walt and Camilla, we can choose to select, not simply survive finding purpose and peace in the process.LOA Today Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/camilla-calbergCamilla Calberg's Website: https://www.camillacalberg.com/Follow the LOA Today podcast:  https://www.loatoday.net/follow#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#deliberatecreators#Q&A#waltthiessen#jodielynncraven#loatodayapp#YourDailyDoseOfHappy#EmotionalIntelligence #Healing #PersonalGrowth #Energy #SelfKindness #LifeTransitions #Coaching #Mindfulness #Empowerment #AIandHumanity
