Reclaiming Your Freedom, Energy and Power (with Emma Seppälä)

In a busy world, where most of us are overstretched, it's easy to end the day feeling drained, guilty, and anxious. You might hope that changing jobs, using your time better, or starting that exercise routine is the answer. But Dr. Emma Seppälä, director of the Women's Leadership Program at Yale School of Management, wants us to address the deeper issues at play. "You can have all the money and power in the world, and still feel bound on the inside…still be ruled by fear, still feel small." People often stand in their own way without realizing it.  The answer, she says, lies in reclaiming our "sovereignty", that internal locus of power and control over our self, our emotions, our relationships and more.  It's not just a conceptual exercise. Becoming sovereign is key to everything from not taking on work that will burn you out, staying present at the end of a long work day, to how you deal with setbacks and fear. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to be truly sovereign over yourself, and why this is the key to living the life you want and fulfilling your highest potential.
