Why do smart leaders keep getting stuck in the same patterns, even when they know better?
In this episode, Jason Stonehouse sits down with Dr. Sharon Spano to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. It's more than just mindset. We're talking invisible patterns, hidden trauma, and what Sharon calls meta-awareness: the ability to notice what’s actually driving you in the moment, not just after the fact.
You’ll learn:
Why self-awareness alone doesn’t lead to change
How success can be fueled by unresolved trauma
What “mapping” your patterns looks like and why it matters
How your relationship with time and money might be sabotaging you
Simple steps to start spotting and shifting your own leadership defaults
If you've ever thought, “Why do I keep doing this?” or “Why isn’t this working anymore?” this conversation is your next move.
