Episode Details

In a world saturated with data, AI, and external noise, the most valuable asset a leader possesses is discernment. But for many high-achieving founders and creatives, sensitivity feels like a liability…a porousness that leads to overwhelm rather than insight.

In this episode, Yolanda Lewis, a hypnotherapist and somatic energy practitioner, joins Corissa to reframe sensitivity as a strategic advantage. They discuss the critical difference between being "at the effect" of your environment versus being the sovereign creator of it. Yolanda shares her journey of growing up with a mother diagnosed with schizophrenia, who she realized was simply highly attuned but ungrounded, and how that shaped her mission to teach energetic hygiene to leaders.

Corissa and Yolanda dive deep into the mechanics of strategic intuition. They explore why so many leaders fall into the “11th Hour Trap" (waiting until a crisis to pivot) and how to use curiosity as an early-warning system. They also offer practical micro-rituals to reset your nervous system and filter out the distortion of the modern world.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Empathy Trap: Why absorbing your team's energy isn't leadership, and how to seal your energetic field to maintain clarity.
• The 11th Hour: Why high performers often ignore the whispers of misalignment until they become a crisis, and how to catch them sooner.
• Technocratic Fatigue: Navigating the rise of AI and digital noise by reclaiming your internal authority and truth-testing.
• Micro-Rituals for Leaders: Simple, actionable practices (like the 10:10 alarm) to check in with your body and reset your focus throughout the day.
• Wave vs. Particle: A quantum perspective on decision-making and how to observe the potential (wave) before collapsing it into reality (particle).
