Her Boss Brain

Episode 20: The Power of Presence: Where Clarity, Calm, and Choice Begin

Pallavi Jain

In this powerful episode of Her Boss Brain, Pallavi dives deep into the power of presence and why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed—even when they’re “doing everything right.” She unpacks how mental time-traveling into the past and future fuels stress, irritability, and self-created pressure, keeping us physically present but emotionally checked out.

Through vulnerable personal stories, neuroscience insights, and the practical *ATM framework—Arrive, Take responsibility, Make a conscious choice—*Pallavi shows how presence interrupts fear, quiets mental noise, and brings the nervous system back into regulation. You’ll learn how presence restores clarity, strengthens leadership, deepens relationships, and gives you back access to choice—especially in moments when fear, overthinking, or old stories try to take over.

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for life to slow down and instead reclaim your power in the present moment—where calm, confidence, and intentional leadership actually live.
