The Inner CEO Code with Lisa Rosato

Welcome to episode 05 of the Inner CEO Code Podcast!This week’s topic is one many of you have asked about and I think most of you will relate to: Finding mental strategies for everyday life when you’re under pressure.In a fast moving, ever changing world it’s easy to find ourselves piling up tasks, expectations, meetings and commitments. Until it becomes harder and harder to handle it all.But how do we stay grounded and balanced when pressure rises — whether that’s internal or external?Before we dive into that, there’s something important to understand first. Stress is part of our human existence. We actually need it to move forward and grow.But there’s a point where it becomes too much.And before we look at how to release it, we need to understand what’s happening in your brain and what’s quietly contributing to the weight in your everyday life before it gets too heavy.In this episode you’ll get:* Insights on why stress isn’t necessarily something bad* An explanation of the teakettle of stress and your brain’s response to pressure* A breakdown of 4 hidden loads* that impact your coping mechanism over time* Strategies on how to release pressure using the ‘Power Hour’* An invitation to take another viewpoint instead of going all in or out*more about the hidden loads in ‘Big Trust’ from Dr. Shadé ZahraiImperfect, but perfectly me.I hope you enjoy.Thank you for being here.With joy, LisaMusic credits: TVARI Get full access to Lisa Rosato at collectiveanchors.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to episode 04 of the Inner CEO Code Podcast!First of all, thank you all so much for listenting, commenting and sharing the podcast so far. It means more than you can imagine and helps me tailoring the episode topics closer to what’s on your mind & heart.This week’s topic touches on something I’ve gone through these past years and don’t think gets talked enough about. It’s that moment when you realise you are outside of the box. And you no longer fit in.Quite scary, but also quite human.Throughout our lifes we evolve as human beings - we change, we grow, we learn.And through that we eventually arrive at a point where the old no longer fits and the new isn’t there yet. You just know you can’t go back.This truly is an exploration of how to find beauty in that process, sharing it from my own experience and inviting you to look at the questions that matter to help you determine where you actually want to fit in.In this episode you’ll get:* A glimpse into my personal experience with ‘falling out’* A new perspective of finding beauty in being the black sheep* Reflections on the right questions when it happens* Insights on the hidden cost of trying to fit into the wrong room* An invitation to express your individualityImperfect, but perfectly me.I hope you enjoy.Thank you for being here.With joy, LisaMusic credits: TVARI Get full access to Lisa Rosato at collectiveanchors.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to episode 03 of the Inner CEO Code Podcast!Many of you have asked me to talk about letting go — and why we sometimes face such resistance around it.You know you have to. It might even no longer serve you. Maybe it’s even holding you back or keeping you stuck. Whether that’s a job, a relationship, a friendship or something else entirely. And yet you seem to end up at the same point, over and over again.That’s because letting go isn’t just ‘a moment.’It’s a complex, uncomfortable process and it deserves some real attention.In this episode we break it down and dive deeper into what’s actually going on in your brain. Using the analogy of an open mental tab that’s waiting to be closed, we explore what prevents us from moving through it.There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s actually very human.It’s easy to find yourself ruminating over potential outcomes or overthinking the whole situation, unconsciously creating an emotional weight instead of releasing it. And that’s exactly what sticks to the brain.In this episode you’ll get:* Insights into why your brain treats letting go like unfinished business* Why it can feel like losing a part of yourself* Simple ways to detach yourself using neuroplasticity & visualisation* A different perspective on letting go by loosening the grip rather than forcing the releaseImperfect, but perfectly me.I hope you enjoy.Thank you for being here.With joy, LisaMusic credits: TVARI Get full access to Lisa Rosato at collectiveanchors.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to episode 02 of the Inner CEO Code Podcast!Have you ever noticed how life just keeps adding up? Expectations, roles, tasks, thoughts, one by one they pile on. Until one day you look around and realise: there’s no space left. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperately in need of a break.That break often comes in the form of a vacation, a long weekend, or in the worst case scenarios through sickness forcing you to stop.But what if we didn’t have to wait for that moment?In this episode, I’m using the analogy of an overstacked train compartment I was in earlier this week. You know the one, where people keep pushing in even though there’s clearly no room?So let me take you on a little journey as we explore what happens when we don’t create space to digest, grow and rest before rushing off to the next destination. And how we can learn to do it differently.In this episode you’ll get:* An analogy of how we move through life: are you stacking your brain?* Simple ways to create space and get unstuck* Insights on the meaning of seasonal changes* How to spot your personal signs before things get too much* The powerful link between body & mindImperfect, but perfectly me.I hope you enjoy.Thank you for being here.With joy, LisaMusic credits: TVARI Get full access to Lisa Rosato at collectiveanchors.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to the Inner CEO Code Podcast’s first episode! I’m so glad that you’re here and part of this little project.Recording a podcast has been on my ‘plan’ for a while now. But as you know, we sometimes are perfect at working out the perfect plan to then realise that life is all but predictable.After almost a year of overthinking, overplanning and waiting for the 'perfect moment’ I realised that the perfect moment is NOW.So here I am. Not perfectly ready - just ready.Following a quote I’ve heard earlier in the week ‘Come as who you are and work with what you got’, that's exactly what this is. Real experiences, personal stories, and honest reflections on what it means to lead from the inside out.In this episode you'll get:- A warm welcome to the Inner CEO Code Podcast- An introduction to the voice behind the mind (Hi it's me!)- How ditching the perfect plan can be something positive- Useful tools for when things go outside of the planImperfect, but perfectly me.I hope you enjoy.Thank you for being here.With joy,Lisa Get full access to Lisa Rosato at collectiveanchors.substack.com/subscribe
