STOP Letting Your Mind Run Your Life: The 3-Step System to Reclaim Your Power with Nami

💬 message Denise Hey friend, grab a cozy seat and that mug of coffee - I have an incredible conversation to share with you! This week on Thrive After 45™, I'm so honored to introduce you to Nami, a leadership and mindset coach who is challenging us to think differently about how we lead our lives.Nami spent over 20 years in the corporate world, building high-performing teams, but her own journey through healing and self-discovery led her to an incredible realization. It was sparked by a heartbreaking tragedy that made her ask, "What is it that truly helps us pull ourselves out of the dark?" She saw that a high IQ or EQ wasn't enough; something crucial was missing.What she created is called The Mind Quotient (MQ), and it's a powerful framework that blends neuroscience, spirituality, and mindset to help us unlock our highest potential. Nami calls it the third quotient, focused on the mastery of the mind, which is responsible for our mental wellbeing and how we show up every day.The concept is beautifully simple: Self-Awareness + Self-Management. Once you know what's going on inside you (awareness) and what works for you to manage yourself (management), you can operate at peak MQ. The best part is that it's not one-size-fits-all; it's about getting to know yourself and intentionally applying a framework to what you already have available to you.Nami and I get into the real talk about how this shift starts with just looking inward, and how that realization - that you are co-creating your life and have the power to choose how you show up - is completely life-changing. This is such an important conversation for all of us, especially women who are looking to advocate for themselves and finally put themselves first without the guilt.Oh, and Nami is also a phenomenal writer! We talk about her new book, "Healing with Courage: My Journey From Dark to Light," a memoir written as poetry that takes you on her journey from trauma and disconnection to spiritual awakening and stepping fully into her power.This episode is all about reclaiming your power and realizing that the power to rise really does begin within. You'll want to hear Nami's one piece of advice for when you get triggered - it's simple, powerful, and a total game-changer for finding your pause and looking inward.Get ready to feel inspired, seen, and stretched in the best way possible.You can find Nami and learn more about her framework, the MQ Check-in, and her new book, Healing with Courage, via the following links:🌐 www.coach-nami.com📸 Instagram: @coach.nami💼 Linked InHealing with Courage Kindle pre-sale linkThank you for spending time with me today on the Thrive After 45™ podcast!
