The Innerverse of Business & Life

Is the story you have in your mind influencing your relationships with your partner, colleague, or family member? We all know what it’s like to get caught in our thoughts, replaying something that was said and building a story about what it means. In this episode, Barb is joined by Angus Ross, a transformational coach and co-host of the Awaken to Love podcast. They explore why we get gripped by story and what changes when we begin to see it with more clarity. Angus and his wife Rohini work pr

What if the real question isn’t whether it will work out, but whether you can trust yourself inside the yes? In this solo episode, Barb explores what happens after we feel the aliveness, the curiosity, the expansion of a yes, and how quickly the mind and nervous system move in to manage, predict, and protect. Through reflections from her own life and leadership, Barb unpacks what she calls the “fragility trap”. The subtle way we treat ourselves as if we can’t handle growth, uncertainty, or exp

Our instinct is to push harder or figure it out. But what if “nothing is working” isn’t a problem to solve, but a moment to listen? In this solo episode, Barb explores the deeper intelligence inside these breakdowns. She shares personal and client stories that reveal how often the real invitation is to return to zero, loo

We’ve all had moments when a want feels clear, alive, and true, and yet, when it comes time to move toward it, something inside of us hesitates, tightens, or stalls. In today’s episode, we explore that mysterious place, the edge, where our heart’s desire meets old conditioning, protection, and the parts of us that don’t yet feel free. What if the pause, the freeze, or the resistance isn’t a sign of failure, self-sabotage, or “not wanting it enough”? What if nothing is wrong at all? Together,
