Clarity comes before certainty. In this episode of Intuition: Your Joy Compass, I talk about something that quietly fuels self-doubt for so many smart, capable women: the belief that we need certainty before we move. Spoiler alert, we don't. I share the real difference between clarity and certainty, why a loud, busy mind is not the same thing as a clear one, and how waiting for guarantees often keeps us stuck and second-guessing ourselves. Through personal stories (yes, including adopting two cats and making big life decisions without a crystal-clear roadmap), I walk you through how clarity actually shows up, subtle, steady, and often without fireworks. This episode is about learning to trust yourself, take small self-led steps, and quiet the inner critic that keeps asking for proof instead of permission. If you've been circling decisions, overthinking, or waiting to feel "100% sure," this conversation will help you reconnect with your intuition, strengthen self-trust, and move forward with more ease and confidence. Listen or watch this episode of the podcast and explore what it really means to live and decide from clarity, not certainty.   ---   Living in Clarity is open now! Living in Clarity is an 8-week group experience grounded in the Positive Intelligence® framework, where we work directly with the Saboteur-to-Sage model to reduce mental patterns that create self-doubt, overthinking, and inner conflict.

Send a textHave you ever noticed how just one deep breath can completely change a tough moment? One minute you're about to snap… and the next, you choose a calmer, kinder response instead.That's what we talked about with our dear friend and coach, Ellen Gray.In this episode, we unpack Positive Intelligence and why learning to pause—just for a few seconds—can transform how we show up in our marriages, with our kids, with friends, and even with ourselves. This isn't “office talk” or self-help theory. These are real-life tools for real people trying to love well and stay grounded in everyday stress.Ellen explains PQ as “mental fitness”—basically learning how to train your mind the same way you'd train your body. We talk about our inner “Judge” and those familiar saboteurs like the Pleaser, Controller, and Avoider—and how many of them started as good qualities that just got overused along the way.She also shares part of her own story, including becoming a “little mother” at just eight years old. It's such a powerful reminder that empathy is a gift—but without boundaries, it can quietly run your life.You'll hear simple practices you can use right away—like focusing on your breath or paying close attention to small physical sensations—that even young kids can learn to calm big emotions. We talk about why feeling safe matters when you're doing this kind of inner work, when therapy might be helpful, and why small, consistent habits beat “all-in” efforts every time.Ellen also walks us through her seven-week program, the small pod groups, the daily app support, and how these tools help keep that inner critic from calling the shots.We kept thinking while recording: what if families shared a common language for stress? What if teens learned these skills early? What if caregivers set loving boundaries without guilt?That's what this work makes possible.You are not “just wired this way.” You can notice your patterns, choose differently, and make your next conversation a little kinder and clearer.Listen in, try the 10-second pause, and let us know what changes for you.

I'm joined by Shirzad Chamine, creator of Positive Intelligence, to explore what it really means to learn in difficult times. We talk about fear-based "saboteur" patterns, why toxic positivity makes things worse, and how negative emotions can be useful signals rather than flaws to suppress. We look at trauma as something all humans experience on a spectrum, how post-traumatic growth actually works, and why compassion must come before reframing. We also explore religion, secular belief systems, technology, political polarisation, and why both faith and rationality get hijacked by fear when we're not paying attention. This is a wide-ranging conversation about learning to lead — ourselves and others — from love rather than fear, especially in a fractured world.

You were born to be you.  But somewhere along the line, most of us got the message that we had to shape-shift, overdeliver, or hide our truth to fit in.

Because being palatable isn't the goal, being aligned is. What I get into: The Saboteur voices behind performance patterns. How your Sage knows who you truly are. Why ditching people-pleasing is the ultimate freedom move. A simple Positive Intelligence practice to break the perform/doubt cycle. How I support clients in Mindset Breakthrough to stop proving and start living.

Episode 3 — Breaking the Sound Barrier: Living at the Edge A Tribe Sober × Lynette Le Roux mini-series Music: “Remember” by Sutherland  |  Length: ≈ 18 min  

Shirzad Chamine experienced a traumatic childhood, raised in Iran by a father who was full of a frightening rage. Following high school, Shirzad decided to move to the United States and make his future there. Along the way, he heard an inner whisper telling him to make a positive influence on a worldwide scale. After a variety of education experience, he developed innovative theories that resulted in the New York Times bestselling book, Positive Intelligence. In this Blue Sky episode, you'll learn more about Shirzad Chamine's remarkable life and inspiring work. Chapters: 00:00 Welcome Shirzad Chamine Shirzad shares his early childhood in Iran, a turbulent upbringing with a rage-filled father, and how this traumatic experience later became a gift. 01:43 The Whispers of a World Stage Shirzad recounts his journey to the U.S. seeking new possibilities and the powerful whisper in his heart that guided him towards transforming millions of lives. This whisper, present since childhood, fueled his pursuit of a path to make a significant impact on the world stage. 05:19 From Psychology to Engineering to Business Shirzad discusses his unconventional educational path and explains how his disillusionment with the 'California New Age' approach to therapy led him to seek a more rational and scientific method for understanding and changing human lives. 08:30 The Birth of the Saboteur: The Judge Shirzad shares a pivotal moment at Stanford Business School where classmates' feedback about his judgmental nature led to a profound epiphany. This realization birthed the concept of the 'Judge' saboteur, a character in his mind that constantly finds fault with others and himself, sabotaging his relationships and self-perception. 12:51 Saboteurs and Sage: The Inner War Shirzad explains how his childhood experiences and the Stanford epiphany led to the development of the Positive Intelligence framework, which describes an internal war between inner saboteurs and the inner sage. 16:09 The Root Cause Operating System Shirzad critiques traditional coaching for failing to create lasting habits and treating symptoms rather than root problems. He introduces his 'root cause operating system' derived from factor analysis research, identifying 10 saboteurs (negative response factors) and 5 sage powers (positive Jedi powers) that optimize well-being and performance. 20:44 Sustained Transformation with the PQ App Shirzad explains that despite the book's success, readers often reverted to old habits because insights don't build mental muscle. 25:43 Understanding and Managing Your Saboteurs Bill Burke and Shirzad discuss the 'Pleaser' and 'Avoider' saboteurs, explaining how saboteurs are overused natural strengths. 30:44 Don't Judge the Judge: Quieting Saboteurs Shirzad emphasizes that saboteurs never fully disappear but can be diminished from a 'megaphone to a whisper' through consistent practice. 38:05 Performance and Saboteurs Shirzad explains how saboteurs impact performance, using a basketball analogy to show how self-doubt can cause choking in critical moments. 44:31 Normalizing Saboteurs in Teams Shirzad discusses how leaders can create a more effective team environment by openly sharing their saboteurs. By normalizing imperfection, teams can move past defensiveness and foster authentic communication, leading to better collaboration and problem-solving. 49:04 The Shift to Compassion Shirzad describes his personal transformation from a judgmental mindset to one of deep compassion, driven by rewiring his brain through mental fitness practices. 52:52 Mission for Mental Fitness Shirzad shares his mission to bring mental fitness education to humanity, starting in schools, believing it could transform society by equipping future generations with tools to manage their minds.

Send Jay comments via textWhen your children leave home, the loudest voice isn't always the one you want to hear—it's your inner critic. It whispers doubts, tells you "you shouldn't," "you can't," or "you're not enough," leaving you feeling stuck and uncertain about how to move forward. However, there's a practical, proven framework that can quiet the noise and help you reclaim your peace: Positive Intelligence (PQ).In this episode, we sit down with coach Kevin Gazarra to demystify PQ and explore how it applies to life after the nest empties. Kevin introduces us to the Judge and its nine accomplice saboteurs—Controller, Hyper-Achiever, Restless, Stickler, Pleaser, Hyper-Vigilant, Avoider, Victim, and Hyper-Rational—that hijack our thoughts with seemingly true but unhelpful stories. He explains how these saboteurs influence our daily lives and how shifting into the Sage mindset—empathy, curiosity, creativity, and decisive action—can transform challenges into opportunities.Highlights & Key Takeaways:Positive Intelligence (PQ) offers a prescriptive, practical approach to mental well-being.The Judge and its nine saboteurs undermine confidence and clarity.Moving from threat-based thinking to Sage powers—empathy, curiosity, creativity, and decisiveness—shifts your perspective.After caregiving and life changes, reframe your identity for reinvention instead of loss.The Pleaser pattern can lead to burnout—setting oxygen-mask boundaries prevents that.Join us and challenge the noisy inner critic.

Liz is the owner of Strength & Grace Life Coaching, a certified life coach, a certified Positive Intelligence coach, and a certified Yoga instructor just to name a few of things she does. But when we sat down it was talk about her other passion, writing.  When she found herself searching for something of interest to read, she wrote it herself.  That is how The Billie Mahoney Series was created. When Liz sat down to start writing, it just poured out of her.  So much so that her first book (self published may I add) came out in 2023.  Three more have come out since and the 5th book is coming soon. On this episode we talk about her background, the book series and she drops a couple nuggets for budding writers. Home | Liz Simmons Author ​

Join my upcoming Positive Intelligence© Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/positive-intelligence-purchase-vicki-baird Ready to quiet that inner critic and finally build habits that stick? In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I get real about the chaos of creating habits, and why desire alone isn't enough to make them last. Whether you're trying to read more, move your body, or just follow through on what you say you want, it starts with one small step. We'll talk about how your brain forms habits (hello, neuroplasticity), how your inner critic hijacks the process (I see you, Judge), and why micro movements matter more than willpower. I share my own messiness with habit-building and the Positive Intelligence tools that helped me shift from self-criticism to self-support. You'll leave with practical strategies like habit stacking, celebrating small wins, and resetting without shame. If you've been stuck in perfectionism or procrastination, this episode is your permission slip to start small and build a life that actually fits you.

I discuss the importance of adopting a "sage mode" mindset, drawing an analogy to the conflict between Darth Vader and the Jedi. Through my journey from a two-decade corporate career to founding ActiMind, I emphasize the necessity of overcoming fear to achieve fulfillment and innovation. I unpack the foundational elements of the sage mindset, such as empathy and activation, which help leaders navigate challenges effectively. Highlighting a client's breakthrough regarding perfectionism, I advocate for building healthier habits through mindfulness and adaptable strategies. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to engage in personal development and the ongoing practice of positive intelligence to enhance their leadership journey.

Do you feel the pressure of perfectionism taking over? You're not alone. Many principals I coach struggle with the need to do everything right. In this episode, I dive into the hidden cost of perfectionism—also known as the stickler saboteur from Positive Intelligence—and how it can quietly sabotage your performance, relationships, and well-being. Plus, I share mindset shifts to help you start reframing perfectionism in your leadership journey.Take the free Saboteur Assessment here. *FREE DOWNLOADS*The Principal's Email DetoxDecisive Leadership- Free WorkshopPrincipal Checklist to Disconnect From School*RESOURCES FOR PRINCIPALS*Transform Your Time: 60 Day Action Plan for PrincipalsLeadership by Design: The Principal's Custom Habit SystemThe Principal's Overwhelm Toolkit*SOCIAL MEDIA*Barb Flowers, Ph.D- LinkedinDrBarbFlowers- Instagram We're thrilled to be sponsored by IXL. IXL's comprehensive teaching and learning platform for math, language arts, science, and social studies is accelerating achievement in 95 of the top 100 U.S. school districts.
