Heal Your Part

In this conversation, I sit down with Odell Mitchell III, attorney, keynote speaker, and founder of Third In Line Consulting, a man whose life's work is helping people become better humans, in the workplace and beyond.Odell brings a rare combination: a legal career in entertainment, deep roots in corporate learning and development, and an arts background that shapes the nuanced, human-centered way he moves through the world. He is also a single father of two daughters, and he'll tell you that parenthood has been one of his greatest laboratories for the very work he teaches.We explore the Three Kindnesses framework he built - Safety, Empathy, and Diversity - and why pulling one lever doesn't automatically open the others. We talk about what it really means to know your values (not just the what, but the why), how self-awareness without depth only gets you so far, and what it looks like to lead people in a way that helps them stretch toward their potential rather than retreat into protection.This conversation is rich, grounding, and full of the kind of nuance that reminds you why this work is both simple and profound. Odell doesn't make it complicated, he makes it human. WHAT YOU'LL LEARNThe Three Kindnesses framework: Safety, Empathy, and Diversity — and how they interactWhy knowing your values isn't enough — the what and the why of self-awarenessHow psychological safety allows people to stretch rather than retreatThe difference between empathy as a concept and empathy as active practiceWhat diversity looks like beyond demographics — including neurodiversity and lived experienceWhy organizations can't "solve" diversity, and how to measure progress by markers, not arrivalHow single parenthood became Odell's most powerful training ground for his own frameworkWhat it means to lead with your values visible, and how that creates space for others to do the same THREE CORE INSIGHTS1. Self-awareness has two layers. Knowing what you do is the first step. Understanding why you do it, what drives it, what wound or value sits beneath it, is where real change becomes possible.2. Safety is not passive. Psychological and emotional safety is the foundation that allows people to take risks, learn, and grow. Without it, people retreat into whatever patterns make them feel protected. Creating it, for yourself and for others, is an active, intentional practice.3. Diversity is a journey, not a destination. Organizations that treat diversity as a problem to be solved will always feel behind. Those that commit to it as a continuous practice, measuring progress by movement, not arrival, are the ones that build something lasting.GUEST: ODELL MITCHELL III, ESQ.Odell Mitchell III is a thought-provoking keynote speaker, gifted entertainment attorney, and recognized expert in leadership, DEI, change management, and values-based performance.

In this conversation, I sit down with Anahiz Correa, a first-generation Mexican American leader whose path in healthcare began at age five when her aunt in Mexico let her listen to a heartbeat through a stethoscope.Anahiz grew from ICU bedside nurse to charge nurse to ICU manager, and today serves as Senior Director for Critical Care Services at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital. We talk about what leading through the pandemic actually demanded, why “resilience” felt like a throwaway word, and how grit, vulnerability, and true psychological safety helped teams keep caring when everything hurt.She also reflects on how cultural roots, self-awareness, and the courage to be vulnerable reshaped her leadership, and her life. This episode is an honest look at what sustains healers, and how leaders can hold both the human and the work.What You’ll LearnWhy “resilience” rang hollow and how grit plus real support sustains careThe shift from task-driven to human-centered leadership in crisisHow vulnerability at work asks us to practice it at home, tooPsychological safety and emotional support as essentials, not extrasICU vs. telemetry vs. acute care—what each setting actually meansThe unseen toll of workplace violence and system limitationsManaging imposter thoughts and taking up space as a first-gen leaderWhy self-awareness creates the pause between trigger and choiceThree Core InsightsCare is the point, and also the pain. When people shut down to survive, leaders must notice and respond so teams can keep caring without losing themselves.Resilience without solutions is empty. Grit matters, and it has to be matched with structural support, clear communication, and psychological safety.Self-awareness changes outcomes. The pause to notice what is happening inside you creates new choices in how you lead, love, and work.Guest: Anahiz CorreaAnahiz Correa is the Senior Director of Critical Care Services at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital, where she oversees the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Clinical Observation Area, and the soon-to-open EmPATH Unit.A dedicated nurse leader with over a decade of experience in emergency and acute care settings, Anahiz champions initiatives that improve patient outcomes, advance health equity, and support frontline healthcare workers. She is passionate about workforce development, patient safety, and advocating for policies that strengthen the nursing profession and enhance care for underserved communities.Anahiz is a Registered Nurse by background, specializing in Intensive Care. She earned her Master’s in Public Health with an emphasis on Health Policy and Management from the University of California, Berkeley, and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UCLA.Resources MentionedClarifying care settings: ICU, telemetry, acute careRespiratory therapy’s role in intubation and ventilator managementConcepts: psychological safety, self-care, therapy, and mentorshipLet’s ConnectFollow me on Instagram @selfmasterywithjenniferFollow the podcast on Instagram @healyourpartFind me on TikTok @iamjenniferherrera🧠 Take the Quiz: What’s Your Money Mirror?

In this short and powerful reflection, I share a teaching that continues to shape how I live and lead: we are always creating, promoting, or allowing everything that shows up in our lives.I talk about how this idea came back to me at my church’s annual conference, and how it can completely shift the way we experience responsibility, not as a burden, but as liberation. When we recognize our role in what’s unfolding, we also reclaim our power to change it.If you’ve been feeling reactive, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of agency, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and remember, you are a co-creator of your lived experience.What You’ll LearnA powerful framework for understanding what you create, promote, and allowHow to reclaim your agency without self-blame or judgmentThe difference between control and conscious participationWhy true self-responsibility is a path to freedom, not pressureHow to bring compassion to the choices shaping your experienceThree Core InsightsAwareness is creation. The moment you see your part, the pattern begins to shift.You are not responsible for everything that happens, but you are responsible for how you meet it.Every moment is a mirror, showing you what you’re choosing to create, promote, or allow.Resources MentionedReference: Spiritual Psychology principlesLet’s ConnectFollow me on Instagram @selfmasterywithjenniferFollow the podcast on Instagram @healyourpartFind me on TikTok @iamjenniferherrera🧠 Take the Quiz: What’s Your Money Mirror?

This short solo episode came through on the heels of a powerful conversation with my mentor, Kirk Souder, and a spontaneous moment of reflection. I talk about the kinds of thoughts and beliefs we take for granted, those quiet, inherited “truths” we never stop to question. What if they’re outdated? What if they’re no longer serving who you’re becoming?I invite you into a moment of inquiry: What are the beliefs you’re still holding that feel like fact, but are actually just old agreements? What if this moment in your life is happening for you, not to you?What You’ll LearnWhy “this is happening to me” might be the most limiting belief of allHow to begin liberating yourself from outdated ideas of realityWhat it means to audit your thoughts and interrupt unconscious loopsWhy our identity often reflects old conditions, not current truthThe subtle power of choosing what gets to live in your mindThree Core InsightsMost of what limits us isn’t real, it’s just something we decided a long time ago.You don’t have to be at war with your mind, but you do have to take back the keys.Liberation often begins with a single question: Is this still true?Resources MentionedEpisode 4 with Kirk SouderThe concept of “liberating people from antiquated ideas of reality”Go Deeper with the TIP (The Integration Practice)I created a gentle reflection guide to help you begin your own mental audit—so you can release what no longer serves and reclaim the truth beneath the noise.👉🏽 [Download it here]Let’s ConnectFollow me on Instagram @selfmasterywithjenniferFollow the podcast on Instagram @healyourpartFind me on TikTok @iamjenniferherrera🧠 Take the Quiz: What’s Your Money Mirror?

In this conversation, I sit down with Kirk Souder—a creative industry veteran turned purpose-driven executive coach. Kirk’s path is a testament to what it means to truly walk the talk.We talk about the moments that changed everything for him: facing a cancer diagnosis that forced him to confront the finiteness of his life, feeling real dread in a career that on paper was wildly successful, and discovering spiritual psychology as a “before and after” moment that redefined how he leads, works, and lives.He shares candidly about the polarities of joy and duty, the experience of failure as life-giving, and the lessons learned from coaching leaders who shape some of the world’s most influential companies. This episode is an invitation to consider how our most challenging moments can deepen our leadership, our purpose, and our capacity to create meaningful impact.What You’ll LearnHow Kirk’s cancer journey reshaped his sense of possibility and life choicesThe moment he first felt dread in a seemingly perfect career—and why it matteredThe transformative role of spiritual psychology in reframing purpose and successWhy true leadership means creating space for liberation in othersHow polarities show up in leadership and personal growthHis reflections on failure as a doorway to authenticity and creativityHow “transformation” is really about revealing what’s already within usThree Core InsightsAdversity can reveal what matters most. Facing our limits can create the space for truer choices and deeper purpose.Leadership is about creating space for liberation. Guiding others well means helping them see and claim their own freedom and truth.Transformation is a process of revealing, not becoming. True change isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about letting what’s already within us come forward.Guest: Kirk SouderKirk coaches high-impact leaders to find their greatest possibility in authentic leadership, purpose, and impact. He has been featured in Forbes, and he speaks globally on the power of mindset and inner purpose to harness the power of business. Kirk is a pioneer in purpose mindset workshop design, co-designing and facilitating the personal impact accelerator, Soul Purpose, and its custom iterations for brands like Mattel, Uber, and Google.Kirk’s background is distinct from most executive coaches in his vast business-building experience prior to graduate-level education and training in leadership coaching. Prior to starting his coaching consultancy, Kirk was co-founder and lead coach of Enso, creating initiatives with visionary brands and coaching visionary leaders toward positive impact at scale. Kirk’s own business and entrepreneurial leadership span 30 years of successful enterprises, with roles as Founder, Chief Creative Officer, Partner, and President/CEO of large companies and vanguard creative shops recognized globally from Cannes to Hong Kong. He’s built award-winning creative cultures in New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, serving clients like Nike, Disney, Virgin, Uber, Visa, Google, Lyft, and The White House.Kirk went to grad school in 2004 to earn a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology and then added extensive professional training in coaching technologies like Three Principles, Soul-Centered Leadership, and Success Intelligence. Kirk is a certified graduate of the University of Santa Monica’s Soul-Centered Coaching Program. This combination of real-world business experience and graduate-level coaching education creates an integrated skill set rare in today’s executive coaches and was designed for 21st-century enterprise. Kirk is a regular lecturer on leadership in business at USC’s Haas School of Business, UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, and the University of Adelaide in Australia. Kirk has spoken and led workshops on unlocking inner purpose and positive impact from Hong Kong to Copenhagen to Miami to Portland.

Welcome to the Heal Your Part podcast where personal healing becomes a collective act.In this heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Amanda Dykann, a yoga teacher and retreat leader who truly lives what she teaches. Amanda shares openly about her early sense of inner knowing, the path that took her from teaching yoga to facilitating luxury retreats around the world, and the profound personal evolution she’s experienced through motherhood, healing, and leaving a relationship that no longer served her well-being.We talk about embodiment, emotional honesty, the energy we carry, and what it means to really trust the unfolding of life. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your desire for peace and the patterns you keep repeating, Amanda’s story is such a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t linear, and that our power often lies in softening rather than pushing.What You’ll LearnWhy energetic alignment often matters more than effort or strategyHow Amanda used stillness and slowness to redesign her business from the inside outThe subtle ways we argue for our limitations, especially when trying to manifest something newHow to recognize the vibration we’re emitting (and what it’s attracting)A spiritual lens on navigating postpartum, partnership, and resilienceThree Core InsightsYou can’t fake your energy. The frequency we carry shapes how we’re received—and what comes into our lives.Your truth will keep knocking. Even when life gets messy, there’s often a deeper voice within us that knows what’s right.There’s power in sharing the real story. Vulnerability and honest storytelling aren’t just healing—they’re connective medicine.Guest: Amanda DykannAmanda Dykann is a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and spiritual guide with over 15 years of experience supporting others through movement, mindfulness, and soul-centered transformation.

Welcome to the Heal Your Part podcast where personal healing becomes a collective act.In this episode, I define and demystify one of the most important tools for healing and transformation: inner work. I share how your personality and belief systems are formed often without your awareness and how to begin seeing the stories and patterns that are running you. I talk about the courage it takes to face ourselves honestly, the power of reflection, and how healing at the personal level can ripple outward to our relationships, leadership, and society at large.If you've ever wondered where your reactions come from, why certain challenges keep repeating, or how to start feeling more peace and alignment from the inside out, this one’s for you.What “inner work” really means (and why it’s for everyone)How our childhood experiences create unconscious beliefsWhat patterns and emotional triggers can teach usDifferent ways to begin or deepen your healing practiceWhy healing is both personal and profoundly collectiveThree Core InsightsInner work isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the patterns. So much of who we think we are is just a set of adaptations. Beliefs we never questioned. Stories we created to survive. When you begin to witness those patterns with compassion not judgment, you reclaim the truth beneath them.Your personality was built in response to your environment—and you get to reshape it. From early childhood, we start assigning meaning to the things that happen to us. Without context, we make sense of pain the best we can. That meaning becomes identity. Inner work helps you see which parts were formed out of survival and which ones want to be rewritten.Patterns persist until we pause long enough to notice them. If the same relationship dynamic, emotional trigger, or inner conflict keeps showing up you are the common denominator. That’s not blame, it’s power. When you’re willing to trace the roots, you gain the leverage to grow.Resources MentionedInternal Family Systems (IFS)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)The EnneagramHuman DesignGo Deeper with the TIP (The Integration Practice)I created a powerful 1-Page reflection guide to help you take what you heard and apply it to your life.👉🏽 Download it hereLet’s ConnectFollow me on Instagram @selfmasterywithjenniferFollow the podcast on Instagram @healyourpartFind me on TikTok @iamjenniferherreraSubscribe & Spread the WordNever miss an episode!Subscribe to Heal Your Part on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Welcome to the Heal Your Part podcast—where personal healing becomes a collective act.In this opening episode, I share the deeper why behind the show and what inspired me to finally start it. You'll hear part of my own story, from growing up as a mixed-race Mexican American girl in Los Angeles, to body image struggles, to discovering spiritual psychology and building a life rooted in emotional truth and inner leadership.This is more than an intro. It's a reclaiming of healing as a vital human skill, not a luxury, not a trend, and not a soft science.Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or you've been walking it for years, you're in the right place.What You’ll LearnWhy I believe healing is our responsibility and our powerHow our childhood experiences shape our identity, patterns, and relationshipsMy story, from playground questions to studying spiritual psychologyThe skills that changed my life and what I’ll be sharing with you hereA glimpse into the topics, guests, and tools we’ll explore togetherThree Core InsightsYour healing creates a ripple effect. When we heal ourselves, we don’t just feel better, we show up differently in the world. Our energy shifts, our relationships shift, and we contribute to a more compassionate planet.Much of who you believe you are was shaped before you could choose it. Before the age of seven, we start forming beliefs based on how we interpret life around us. Inner work lets us revisit those early stories and rewrite them consciously.We’re not taught this stuff but we can learn. Self-reflection, emotional awareness, and neutral observation are foundational life skills. And just like brushing your teeth, they should be part of everyday life. This podcast exists to normalize and teach those tools.Let’s ConnectFollow me on Instagram @selfmasterywithjenniferFollow the podcast @healyourpartFind me on TikTok @iamjenniferherreraSubscribe & Spread the WordIf this episode pinged something in you, please share it.
