"So I think this whole idea of cumulative culture is a way to make humans exceptional. But it's clear to me that humans are exceptional, and seeing it through baboon glasses, I can understand in a different way why they're exceptional. But many of the things that we think are uniquely human are actually present in other animals." - Dr. Shirley Strum Dr. Shirley Strum is a groundbreaking anthropologist who has spent over five decades living alongside wild baboons in Kenya. Her work has transformed our understanding of these intelligent, socially complex animals — their relationships, their adaptability, and the intricate societies they create. In her new book, Echoes of Our Origins , Shirley challenges long-held beliefs about evolution, the human-animal divide, and what it truly means to coexist. This conversation is about science — but it’s also about humility, hope, and the messy, beautiful complexity of life on Earth.

Jessica Bowser joins the conversation, sharing her journey of navigating burnout in both academia and the corporate world.

Have you ever wondered why you feel more energized during certain weeks and completely drained during others? In this episode, Violetta Znorkowski is joined by Renea Fieck, an occupational therapist and breathwork facilitator, as they dive into the importance of aligning with the natural rhythms of the female menstrual cycle. Renea shares her expertise on the four phases of the menstrual cycle, explaining how hormonal shifts influence everything from your mood to your productivity. She opens up about the common misconception that pushing through discomfort shows strength and how she, too, believed this for many years. However, she now embraces a more sustainable approach that honors her body’s needs during each phase. Throughout the conversation, Renea highlights the "masculine" energy of the first half of the cycle, where women tend to feel more driven and ambitious, compared to the "feminine" energy of the second half, where rest and reflection take priority. She offers practical tips for making small, yet impactful changes—such as scheduling downtime or adjusting workouts—that can help you sync with your cycle. This episode also touches on the societal conditioning that often leads women to feel ashamed of their periods or try to hide their natural rhythms. Renea's journey of overcoming this internalized oppression is inspiring, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their bodies and embrace the power of their cycles. Renea and Violetta also discuss the importance of community and flexibility on this journey, emphasizing that every woman’s experience is unique and that adaptability is key. Key Takeaways: Understand the four phases of the menstrual cycle and how they affect your energy and emotions. Learn how to make small lifestyle changes to better align with your body’s natural rhythms. Break free from societal conditioning and embrace your cyclical nature. This episode is a must-listen for any woman looking to live in harmony with her body and unlock her full potential.

28. The Psychology of the Voice: How to Speak So People Listen with Researcher Tracy Goodwin 1:11:58

44 weeks ago1:11:58

1:11:58

Have you ever questioned why you hold back your true voice, or felt disconnected from your own identity through the way you speak? In this episode, Violetta chats with Tracy Goodwin, an expert in the psychology of voice, as they dive into the powerful connection between voice, identity, and past experiences. Tracy opens up about her childhood, where the phrase 'children should be seen and not heard' was common, shaping her relationship with her voice and creating a struggle to feel worthy of speaking up. Through her journey as an actor and voice coach, she eventually learned to embrace her authentic voice, and now helps others do the same. The conversation sheds light on how we build ‘walls’ around our voices, using masks like people-pleasing and fear of judgment to hide our true selves. Tracy highlights how true connection comes not just from the words we say, but from the tone, presence, and authenticity behind them. They also tackle how women, in particular, face unique challenges with their voices in professional settings, often feeling the need to be 'nice' and avoid conflict. This can lead to their contributions being undervalued, despite saying the same things as their male counterparts. Tracy’s message is clear: reclaiming your voice starts with self-worth and vulnerability. It’s about showing up authentically, without seeking external validation, and embracing the power of presence. This episode invites you to explore how your voice reflects your inner world and encourages you to step into your true, authentic self. Episode Timestamps: 00:05:19-00:09:15 – Tracy shares her journey from growing up silenced to embracing her voice coaching purpose. 00:11:16-00:15:08 – Tracy explains how she helps others strip away layers of protective masks to reveal their true voice, using an analogy of refinishing furniture. 00:19:12-00:21:47 – Discussion on how we communicate from wounds and fears, rather than empowerment, and the impact of subconscious blocks. 00:25:21-00:27:52 – Tracy explains the role of control and fear of judgment in shaping communication, particularly for women in professional settings. 00:34:04-00:38:17 – Tracy expands on societal expectations for women's voices, discussing how women often struggle to be heard or valued. 00:43:54-00:46:45 – Tracy shares her process for helping people identify and shed layers to reclaim their authentic voice. 00:50:38-00:53:07 – Tracy addresses challenges women face in finding their authentic voice and overcoming the pressure to be "nice." 01:01:22-01:04:40 – Tracy discusses the costs of silencing women's voices and how societal standards have influenced perceptions of how women should speak. 01:06:43-01:09:24 – Final reflections on embracing authenticity, reframing judgment, and the courage it takes to reclaim one's true voice.

How does your ego show up in your life and how does it affect the professional and relational decisions you make? This week, Violetta speaks with Sonja Williams, employee turned entrepreneur with a life-first approach to business, about the daily practices and rituals that have helped her redefine what's truly important to her and awaken the courage to pivot her career by following her intuition and betting on herself. Sonja shares her experience with meditation before it was a widely known and accepted practice, Tony Robbins events, gratitude, her annual practice of intentional self-discipline and the mindset that helped her to break free from expectations and societal labels and redefine success for herself and for her family (even when most people didn’t understand it at first). We also unpack: What qualities to look for in a life partner so that you can grow together with a shared life vision instead of growing apart How to build real courage and confidence that allows you to change your mind, try new things and reinvent yourself The role self-reflection and meditation plays in understanding your personal beliefs and values and the impact they have on your decisions, self-perception and emotional state The power of creating a supportive circle and network around you and the truth of what this looks like What self-trust actually looks and feels like and how to truly cultivate an unshakeable self-trust and confidence within yourself that can't be taken away from you when external circumstances change….

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of procrastination and perfectionism, wondering if there's a way out? In today’s episode, guest Dr. Christine Li, a renowned clinical psychologist and procrastination coach and host Violetta unpack the nuances of procrastination and how you overcome and thrive. Dr. Li takes us through her unique coaching process that combines mindset, time, and emotion management to help combat underperformance, and shares her journey of the past decade helping people break free from procrastination's grip. We plunge into our shared human experience of procrastination, probing its deep-rooted connections with identity, ambition, and perfectionism. Together, we examine the paradox of how ambition and procrastination can coexist, and the critical role of self-reflection and self-care in our personal and professional journeys. Furthermore, we delve into the often intertwined nature of procrastination and perfectionism, acknowledging that while it can hinder us, it can also be harnessed as a powerful motivator to improve and grow. In this thoughtful discussion, Dr. Li emphasizes the power of mindset and highlights strategies for compartmentalizing focus and avoiding overwhelm. We also explore the importance of rest and self-forgiveness in the face of guilt often associated with procrastination. To wrap up, we focus on taking mindful action to create lasting change and inspire others through our own experiences of overcoming procrastination and perfectionism. STAY CONNECTED WITH DR.

16. Decoding and Healing Triggers: My Partner Walked in On Me in the Shower 45:22

45:22

Do you ever overreact to seemingly small things? Or how about under-reacting and struggling to speak up for yourself and communicate your needs? The other day my partner walked in on me in the shower and I instantly got angry and felt rage bubbling up! In this episode, I unpack how memories from our childhood are stored in our body and unconscious mind and how our emotional triggers are usually not what they appear to be. I get vulnerable with you and share the truth behind the unexpected anger I felt in this moment, what was behind it and how I was able to release and let it go quickly. We dive deep into boundaries, the subtle signs that may tell us our boundaries have been violated and how we can regulate our emotions and restore connection in our relationships. We explore how the people closest to us tend to be the ones who trigger the most intense emotions, and how seemingly innocuous phrases like "I'm fine" block us from being vulnerable, open and honest with ourselves and others. The path towards emotional self-mastery lies in learning to express our needs, find the delicate balance between our own expectations and those of others, and establish healthy boundaries. This story sharing invites you to harness the courage to face your emotions head-on, break free from self-sabotaging patterns, and embrace the transformative power of emotional self-mastery for lasting inner peace, depth in love and generational change.

Get ready to challenge your beliefs about validation, self-worth, and success. This episode creates space for introspection as we unpack the complexities and nuances surrounding external validation and its impact on our self-worth as women. In typical Expand and Impact fashion, we go against the grain, questioning whether or not wanting to be recognized by others and validated is such a bad thing. There’s a fine balance between seeing and validating yourself so that you can truly tap into deeper levels of self-trust and confidence from within, and also enjoying achievement and being seen by others. We explore how to acknowledge and welcome all parts of ourselves, especially those colored with challenging emotions or memories. We are redefining the true essence of success, moving beyond achievements and possessions to explore the significance connection, inner peace, and a supportive network plays in our overall well-being, purpose and happiness. Using thought-provoking questions, we invite you to reflect on your desires, how you wish to feel, and what you may need to relinquish. Join the conversation and alter your perception of success, validation, and self-worth, paving the way for healthier decision-making, reduced stress, and heightened fulfillment.

We explore the weight and role guilt and self-forgiveness plays in finding alignment with our true self, recognizing how our beliefs, fear of failure, and emotional reactions can influence our decision-making process and goals. Join us in this empowering conversation about personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional resilience, and prepare yourself for a transformational journey towards a more impactful life.

Stacey helps us to unpack and understand the impacts of colonial and interngenerational trauma, how our culture impacts our self-esteem and self-worth and how we can utilize different therapies and practices to gently create a safe home within ourselves that will trickle outward and positively impact the greater community. We touch upon identifying collective trauma and what we can do about creating safer, healthier and more equitable communities around the world.

How often do you think about money? Is it something you find yourself commenting on and worrying about often? Recent research shows that women are less likely to invest than men. Out of date stereotypes about how complicated investing is are just one of the things that keep the gender and wealth gap alive and well. In this episode, Violetta sits down with Tess Waresmith, a Financial Coach, to talk about the importance of taking control of your finances and the things that may be standing in your way, like shame, guilt and self-doubt; all very real barriors between you and feeling at ease with your investments and money. Tess is the founder of Wealth with Tess, a financial education platform helping professional women and entrepreneurs build their wealth and confidence using simple investing strategies that anyone can do, even if they are short-on-time or a total beginner. After a big investing mistake that cost her over $80,000, Tess learned the basics of investing and realized that it's not nearly as complicated as it's made out to be. Tess believes anyone can learn and is committed to helping as many women as possible take control of their finances.

7. How to Use the Power of Daydreaming to Create Emotional Freedom and New Opportunity 38:10

What if I told you that your ability to daydream is connected to how well you are able to handle stress and embody states of presence and calm? In this episode Violetta continues the conversation from last week and shares a different perspective about how daydreaming can be the catalyst in helping you create a more fulfilling, happy and successful life, not just career. Most people embark on a journey of transformation from either a place of desperation or inspiration, but you don't have to be struggling to change your mind. However, there is something that you do need to develop to help you deepen confidence in your decisions, enhance the quality of your relationships and to shift your emotional experience and cultivate more ease, joy and flow in your work and life, and that thing is self-trust. As women in particular, we are taught that other people's needs come before our own and that self-sacrifice and exhaustion shows that we are worthy, good and hard workers. Today's episode explores simple ways you can cultivate more emotional freedom and new opportunities in your work and life that are in alignment with who you are and how you really want your life to look and feel.
