โจJourneys of Empowermentโจ - Episode 43
What if showing up exactly as you are is the most powerful thing you can offer?
In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Salmaan Sana, facilitator, trainer and infinite student of connection and purpose. His story is a gentle yet profound invitation to shift from performance to presence, from doing to being.
In our conversation, we explored the small but powerful moments that shape our lives and work, from picking up your child while moderating a big event, to letting go of ego just before stepping on stage.
What we explored:
๐๐พ Authenticity in action: redefining professionalism through human presence;
๐๐พ Parenting with purpose: letting our kids shape who we become;
๐๐พ Community and connection: building spaces for non-transactional relationships;
๐๐พ Worthiness and ego: trusting that you are enough, exactly as you are;
๐๐พ Spiritual growth: finding meaning through books, belief and self-compassion;
Nuggets of empowerment:
๐๐พ "Presence is more powerful than performance. True impact comes from being real, not perfect"
๐๐พ "You donโt need to earn your worthiness. Itโs already within you"
๐๐พ #Slow is not weak, Itโs where the real listening, living and growing happens;

A word from our sponsor:
Great strategies fail without the right behavior.
See how positive reinforcement turns change into measurable results.
What might happen if you showed up this week with more presence than pressure?
