In this powerful episode of The Leader in You, we unpack the explosive conflict between Elon Musk and President Trump—and more importantly, what it reveals about leadership, emotions, and disconnection at the highest levels.

Join Dr. Lola and Polina as they take you behind the scenes of what seemed like a political feud, using the Emotional Connection (EmC) process to explore the emotional undercurrents behind this very public fallout. This episode isn't just about two high-profile leaders—it's about how anyone can get stuck in negative cycles, and how to reconnect.

We talk about:

• What caused the rupture between Trump and Musk
• Why emotional safety and connection matter in leadership
• How to turn conflict into closeness—yes, even at the presidential level

💡 Whether you're leading a team or navigating workplace tension, this episode shows how emotional disconnection—not incompetence—is often at the root of conflict. And more importantly, how to repair it.

🎯 Plus, we share a special invitation to our FREE webinar on navigating difficult conversations, coming up!
