Blow Your Mind(set)
Welcome to the Blow Your Mind(set) Podcast — where ordinary moments meet extraordinary mindset shifts. 🎙️
In a world that’s noisy, messy, and constantly moving, we slow things down just enough to ask: "Did that really just happen?"
I’m your host, Nicole Smith — emotional intelligence expert, mindset disruptor, and your favorite thought partner in this wild ride we call leadership and life.
Every episode, we crack open the stories, shifts, and surprises that challenge how we think, lead, and show up. From boardrooms to breakups, social trends to self-talk, we’re unpacking it all through the lens of emotional brilliance.
You’ll hear powerful solo episodes and unfiltered conversations with game-changers, thought leaders, and real people doing the inner work. No fluff. Just real talk, real insight, and a real push to think differently.
Whether you're navigating a personal pivot or leading in high-pressure spaces — this is your space to reset, reframe, and blow your mindset wide open.
Let’s get into it.

Part 2: Emotional Intelligence Within Race, Gender, & Culture
Are you ready for Part 2?!
Did you even listen to Part 1 to gain a foundation of this deep conversation? - STOP...go and listen to Part 1 as the conversation continues here. The conversation of Emotional Intelligence differing among race, gender, and culture continues.
Are you using emotional intelligence for survival? This is using EQ for survival within the marginalized and underrepresented people as we are heightened in the area of social awareness…because we are always trying to fit in and make "them comfortable."
Your EQ level and learned responses to these feelings can be based on experience, education, and maturity.
Be prepared for part 2 as we dig in a little deeper than most emotional intelligence practitioners. Listen, “the godfathers” of emotional intelligence talk good stuff, but it is primarily talked about in regards to productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Let’s talk about emotional intelligence in regards to you leveraging emotional intelligence to survive in your personal life especially as a "defined marginalized and underrepresented culture or ethnicity.
