Episode 60 | Stop Pushing Through: A New Model of Resilient Leadership with Jodi Scott

When was the last time you paused long enough to notice your feet on the ground before making a hard decision?

In this episode of Mpowered Living, Ann Sheu sits down with entrepreneur and founder of Green Goo, Jodi Scott, for a deeply human conversation about leadership, loss, resilience, and the underestimated power of presence.

Jodi shares the story behind her guiding philosophy to “spread goodness” — and how that belief was tested when she lost her company, her team, and her sense of purpose almost overnight. What followed wasn’t hustle. It wasn’t grind. It was something far more powerful.

In this episode, they explore:

Why “pushing through” is often a half-full version of resilienceThe 30-second presence practice that can change how you lead under pressureWhat happens to a team when a leader walks into a room rushed and reactiveHow presence creates psychological safety, creativity, and trustThe subtle difference between being firm and being in fight-or-flightWhy leaders who are rescuers and protectors burn out fasterThe reframe from “protector” to “archer” — and how that changes your energyHow small discomforts (like choosing the middle airplane seat) build resilience muscleWhat it looks like to bring leadership lessons home to your children

This conversation is especially relevant for leaders and parents who feel the pull to constantly fix, solve, and save — and are ready to lead from something deeper.
