What quiet superpower do most people miss? How do you read the room – and use it to your advantage? And how do you know when “excellence” is actually keeping you from your Zone of Genius? ⚡👀
In this second unfiltered “Ask Us Anything” episode of Tiger Sisters, we get real about power – in life, love, and work. From decoding nonverbal cues to rebuilding your inner circle and choosing purpose over prestige, nothing is off the table.
We share:
✅ How to read the room – and act on what you see
✅ Zone of Excellence vs. Zone of Genius (and knowing when to leap)
✅ A practical productivity stack: sleep, food, therapy, gym, less alcohol
✅ Why your energy is a luxury good – givers vs. takers
✅ Where to meet aligned friends + the power of the follow-up
✅ The “friends, fans, and lessons” framework to protect your circle
