This week’s episode features the last part of the conversation with Sheryl Anjanette, Speaker, Author, and CEO at Anjanette Wellness Academy who helps c-suite executives and their teams get past the tolls of Imposter Syndrome. Sheryl's message to veterans is that no longer being in the military should not be a cause of despair. She also advises that it is important to express emotions and not keep them bottled up. There are many ways to healthily express what you are feeling as a safer alternative to alcohol or drug use. She also shares to the audience at large that emotions which no longer serve you can be let go. Hanging on to emotions which once helped you may be detrimental to you now and working through them is what you need to move on. Finally, Sheryl touches on the concept of anchoring to be in a state of peak performance.

QUOTES
05:22 "We're all going to have a difficult interpretation or meaning we give it, but some might give it more than others. It's the weight, how strong it is, where it sits in our mind, how much it loops, how much it's hijacked our experience."
12:20 "If you notice, when you're excited about something, you'll have generally the same feeling in your body as you do when you're nervous. So when you hit that fork, you need to just slow the train down for a minute, flip the switch, and when as soon as you start to feel nervous, you get excited."
16:08 "Control is a myth. Control is an illusion, so we never can control anything. So as long as we know that we cannot control it, what is there to be fearful? There is no real control. All we can do is influence. Have discernment. Make choices."
