In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Lola and Polina unpack a real-life workplace conflict that began with a simple question — and rippled into a breakdown of emotional safety across an entire team. What seems like a harmless inquiry during a team meeting turns into a deeper exploration of fear, miscommunication, and the hidden impact of emotional disconnection.

Discover how leaders and teams can break the attack-defend cycle, rebuild trust through reconnection, and use the power of emotional awareness to transform team dynamics.

Plus, a first look at Dr. Lola’s new book, Evolve: How to Lead with Emotional Safety and Achieve Transformational Results, and the science-backed formula for optimal success:

Awareness × Expertise = Optimal Success

🧠 Learn why psychological safety starts with emotional safety — and how to create it, one conversation at a time.

The Leader in You is the go-to podcast for anyone who wants to create a workplace culture where you can thrive.

Envision a future where you are more grounded, confident, and in sync with your team.
