Tasha likens the pursuit of self-awareness to exploring space—an ever-expanding frontier with endless discoveries. She delves into the importance of self-awareness in leadership, explaining how it is the will and skill to understand both who we are and how we are perceived by others.

Throughout the conversation, Tasha emphasizes that self-awareness isn't about having dramatic breakthroughs but rather about making small, incremental improvements. Surprisingly, she reveals that introspection can sometimes lead to less self-awareness, increasing stress, anxiety, and even depression. Tasha also touches on the profound insights of Gabor Maté, highlighting that trauma is not just a psychological event but a deep-seated injury to our nervous system, shaping our internal responses to external experiences.
