Episode Title: Reclaim Your Peace Before the New Year
Scripture: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (ESV)

Episode Description:

The holiday season can stretch even the strongest women thin — juggling roles, managing expectations, and holding everything together while quietly running on empty. But what if peace wasn’t something you had to earn through productivity… but something God has already promised?

In this reflective episode, Dr. Dwan Bryant, The Workplace Doctor, invites you to slow down and give yourself the gift of grace — to rest, release, and realign before stepping into the new year.

You’ll learn:
💛 Why empathy for yourself is the key to sustaining others
💛 How to recognize “operational burnout” before it takes root
💛 Three reflection questions to help you care for your capacity and protect your peace

This is your reminder: peace isn’t found in perfection — it’s found in permission.
Before you plan the next big goal, take time to rest in God’s timing and refill what life has been draining.

📚 Stay tuned — pre-orders for I’ll Have What She’s Having open January 12th, and registration for The Confident Woman Life Group coming soon!

🎧 Listen now and let “Reclaim Your Peace Before the New Year” guide you back to center — one REWIRED reflection at a time.

Episode Summary

We all carry something like a disappointment, a missed opportunity, or a private ache that doesn’t fade with time. For women in leadership, those unspoken weights don’t disappear just because we bury them. They quietly show up in our tone, our teams, and the way we lead.

In this episode, Dr. Dwan gets real about what it means to name what hurts and why vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. She shares a personal story from her early leadership journey, the weight she carried in silence, and how acknowledging that pain became her turning point toward healing and freedom.

Whether you’re leading a team, a family, or simply trying to hold it all together, this episode reminds you that what doesn’t get revealed, won’t heal.

Key Takeaways

• Naming your pain doesn’t give it power, it gives you permission to heal.
• Leadership trauma is real and healing from it begins with honesty.
• Vulnerability doesn’t make you less of a leader; it makes you more human.
• When you lead with authenticity, you create emotional safety for others to do the same.

Reflection Prompt

This week, take five quiet minutes and ask yourself:

Write it down.
Say it out loud.
Pray over it.
Share it with someone safe.

Because what you name, you can heal.
And what you heal, you can finally lead from.

Episode Overview:

Ever driven home and couldn’t remember the drive?
That’s not just fatigue. That’s autopilot and it might be leading more of your life and leadership than you realize.

In this episode, I share a deeply personal moment when I caught myself drifting and break down what’s really happening in your brain, body, and nervous system when you lead from exhaustion instead of presence. If you’ve ever found yourself physically present but emotionally absent, this is your wake-up call.

We’re exploring:

• Why your brain is hooked on busyness (hello, dopamine!)
• The real reason detaching from work is so hard
• How to know when you’ve slipped into autopilot
• The hidden dangers of leading while disconnected
• And how to REWIRE your leadership with presence, peace, and purpose

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What "drifting" really means psychologically
• Why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to autopilot leadership
• How our brains reward productivity—and why that can be a trap
• 5 signs you're leading on autopilot (and how to spot them early)
• Why leading from burnout creates a ripple effect on your team and family
• A breakdown of the REWIRED model to interrupt the autopilot cycle

The REWIRED Model Preview:

R = Recognize the Drift
Notice when you’re reacting from stress, not clarity.

W = Wellness First
Ground your nervous system to regain mental clarity.

I = Intentionality
Reconnect to your values, choose how you want to show up, and lead from alignment—not survival.

The TOC Talk: Table of Confidence

Episode Title: The Likeability Factor: Learning to Like Yourself First
Hosted by: Dr. Dwan Bryant, Psychologist | Author | Recovering Perfectionist

Episode Summary:

In this raw and powerful episode, Dr. Dwan Bryant pulls back the curtain on one of her most vulnerable leadership moments battling an eating disorder while leading a team and showing up like everything was fine.

We often talk about the pressure to be liked in leadership spaces—but what if the real challenge is liking yourself?

Dr. Dwan explores how self-rejection, performative leadership, and chasing applause can slowly unravel even the strongest women from the inside out. Through the lens of the REWIRED model...specifically the Reflection element...this episode invites high-achieving women to stop pretending and start healing.

In This Episode:

• The hidden cost of being a likable leader
• A personal story of burnout, breakdown, and breakthrough
• How the Likeability Factor masks internal rejection
• Psychological insight into self-concept clarity and leadership
• The power of reflection, therapy, and spiritual reconnection
• Practical ways to lead with presence—not performance

Key Takeaways:

• You can’t lead others well if you haven’t learned to lead yourself.
• Leadership that lasts starts with internal alignment, not external applause.
• You can only serve others to the extent you’ve served yourself.
• Self-liking is not arrogance. It’s wholeness.

Reflection Prompt:

Ask yourself:

Scripture:

REWIRED Focus: R — Reflection

Stop avoiding the mirror. Start asking better questions:

• Where did I learn that perfection = worth?
• Who told me I needed to be liked to belong?
• What parts of me have I abandoned in the name of success?

Tools for Your Journey:

• Therapy is not a weakness, it’s a tool for growth.
• Self-talk matters: Speak life to the woman in the mirror.
• Try journaling with the REWIRED prompts at dbryantenterprises.com

Episode Title: Stop Scanning. Start Commanding: Reclaiming Your Voice with Reflection

Episode Summary:

In this powerful episode of The T.O.C. Talk—Table of Confidence, we’re naming the habit many high-achieving women know too well: scanning the room before speaking.

Whether it was a teacher, a colleague, or a moment that made you question your voice, those experiences can quietly shape how you lead, show up, and contribute. But here’s the shift—when you stop scanning for “her” and start commanding from the woman you’ve become, everything changes.

We anchor this episode in the first letter of the REWIRED framework: Reflection and walk through how to turn past wounds into present-day wisdom.

Because you weren’t made to shrink.
You were made to lead.
And not just lead but liberate.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What Social Identity Threat looks like in leadership
• Why scanning the room isn’t insecurity, it’s survival instinct
• How reflection helps you release old narratives and reclaim your voice
• A powerful REWIRED action step to help you stop shrinking and start commanding the room
• How to lead with purpose instead of performance
