Mastering Your Emotions, Pain, and Becoming Magnetic with Dr. Julia DiGangi

In this episode, we delve deep into the fascinating world of our
brains and how they inform our behaviours. Dr. DeGangi’s latest
book, “Energy Rising: The Neuroscience of Leading with Emotional
Power,” serves as the focal point of our discussion. Together, we

emotional pain. Dr. DeGangi shares some of the transformative
codes she has developed during her tenure, offering valuable
insights into how we can enhance our emotional energetics.


This conversation is a must-listen if you are looking to elevate
your emotional intelligence, whether you’re a parent, a partner,
a team leader, or a team member. Discover how to lead with love
and certainty, in the present and the evolving landscape of
future relationships.

way to the end.
