Shawna explores how unclear and wavering self-trust can cloud our judgment and make decisions feel overwhelmingly difficult. Through her personal experiences and reflective insights, she discusses the subtle and often unnoticed factors that can erode our self-confidence and clarity. Shawna's candid conversation aims to shine a light on the internal barriers that prevent us from trusting our own decisions.

She is the Director of Impact for the network, which offers full-service support for podcasting from mentoring to production.

  • Imagine a world where children are as supported in managing emotions as they are in reciting their ABCs. Where adults have spent a lifetime gaining insight into experiencing and regulating emotions, rather than ignoring or pushing them away. This week on The Grit Show we get to chat with Tomás Nores, a seasoned psychologist turned nomadic consultant, who shares valuable insights from his vast experiences with both children and adults. In our conversation we unravel the significance of emotional education for children and adults alike and discuss the transformative power it holds in personal and professional realms. Discover why the seemingly simple act of breathing and pausing could hold the key to better decision-making and emotional regulation. If you're curious about emotional intelligence and want to deepen it beyond a buzzword, this will be a valuable episode. Use it to enhance your understanding of emotions in daily life and leadership. Don't miss out on this introspective journey — tune in for an enlightening conversation that might just change your approach to work, relationships, and self-awareness.

    Tomás Nores is an Argentinian psychologist who discovered the world through work and travel programs in the U.S. and New Zealand and currently resides in Spain. Early in his career he facilitated emotional intelligence programs for kids. Working for different communities with many needs was a life changing experience. After 9 years training social skills with kids, their teachers, and their parents in 2020 Tomás decided to become a social entrepreneur and started his own journey. He was chosen by Mayma Argentina for their incubation program and designed and validated training programs in Wellbeing, Leadership, and Emotional Intelligence. Since he has dedicated his time to change people´s work environment by assessing companies and individuals in their general wellbeing. He is currently collaborating with different organizations in Europe and also working on his social entrepreneurship, by co-creating a mental health start-up to increase accessibility throughout Europe.
