Why Your Armor Is Blocking Real Connection: Lessons from Denita Austin
In this deeply heartfelt episode, Lisane Basquiat sits down with emotional resilience strategist, author, and founder of Collective Resiliency, Denita Austin. From her early days at NASA to leading sacred spaces for women’s healing, Denita shares her remarkable journey of transformation—from structure to soul.
Key Topics: Denita’s shift from NASA to spiritual and emotional wellness Creating safe, ego-free spaces for women to unmask and be seen The importance of emotional resilience, self-reflection, and vulnerability How women can support one another more authentically The danger of armor: titles, personas, and detachment Why asking “How’s your heart space?” matters more than ever
Highlights: “I’m not hiding my smile. I’m going to be happy—even if it makes you uncomfortable.” “We lose sight of our softness. We forget how we supported each other as children.” “Let’s take off the title. Who are you without it?”
Denita’s path from corporate rigidity to yoga, writing, and holistic leadership
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing begins within—and expands when we dare to show up fully.
