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.

Blow Your Mind(set): Boss Moves: How to Run Sh*t When Nobody Gave You Permission with Connie Woolard
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you're managing change at work while change is managing you? Connie Woolard—talent development expert, new grandmother ("Meema"), and K-12 survivor—gets real about the messy, magnificent chaos of navigating a multi-generational household, perimenopause hot flashes, and showing up powerfully in rooms where you don't have "the title."
Fresh from the classroom to the boardroom, Connie breaks down why listening first is your superpower, how "PSWIG" (Put Sh*t Where It Goes) keeps family harmony alive, and what it really takes to earn your seat at the corporate table and become an entrepreneur at the same time. Plus, the dream home story that proves timing matters more than timelines and why sometimes "I don't know" is the most emotionally intelligent answer you can give.
This isn't your typical career conversation. It's two friends, two decades of friendship, goldfish crackers in the car, and the unfiltered truth about what leadership looks like when pushing through the 4th decade of life, hot in 32 degree weather, and still showing up to change the game.
Perfect for: Women navigating career transitions, new grandmas balancing multi-gen households, anyone who's ever felt "too young" or "not enough," and every human trying to lead with influence—not just a title.
