Her Boss Brain

Episode 22: The Year Didn’t Break You: How to Lead From Within, Activate Your BOSS Brain, and Start 2026 ON SELF START

Pallavi Jain

This episode explores why the past year felt heavier than expected for so many women leaders—and why it wasn’t because you weren’t capable or working hard enough. Pallavi Jain breaks down how chronic stress quietly pushes leaders into autopilot, draining inner reserves and impacting how we show up at work, at home, and in relationships. Through neuroscience, real leadership moments, and practical insight, she explains what it truly means to activate your BOSS Brain, make conscious withdrawals from your inner reserves, and lead from within. This conversation is an invitation to stop repeating survival patterns and step into 2026 on self-start—grounded, regulated, and consciously in your leadership.
