JOURNAL PROMPTS - EPISODE 11
DAY 1
Principle for Reflection: Your leadership capacity is directly connected to your body's ability to hold and express your authentic identity. Embodied patterns from past experiences travel with you into professional contexts and influence your present capacity.
Reflection Questions:
End of Day Reminiscence: What did I notice about my body's responses in leadership moments today? How might these responses be protecting me or limiting me?
DAY 2
Principle for Reflection: Somatic healing creates alignment between who you know yourself to be and how you're able to show up in the world, making your leadership transformation more sustainable and authentic.
Reflection Questions:
End of Day Reminiscence: Where did I experience alignment between my inner knowing and my embodied expression today? Where did I notice gaps?
DAY 3
Principle for Reflection: Your nervous system carries protective patterns that once served you but may now limit your capacity to show up fully in your authentic power. Healing involves updating your safety database based on your current reality.
Reflection Questions:
End of Day Reminiscence: What old protective patterns did I notice today? How might I gently begin creating new experiences of safety and authentic expression?
DAY 4
Principle for Reflection: As your nervous system learns to trust the safety of your authentic expression, your leadership naturally becomes more powerful—not through performing power, but through embodying it.
Reflection Questions:
End of Day Reminiscence: In what moments today did I feel most embodied in my authentic power? What supported this experience?
DAY 5

Reflection Questions:
End of Day Reminiscence: What evidence of my body's resilience and power did I notice today? How can I continue honoring and building on this strength?
