In this powerful episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, I’m joined by Elle Jaye — a truth-teller, mindset shifter, and author of Survivorship. Elle’s work centers on helping women, especially single mothers, move from power struggles to purpose. But don’t be mistaken — this conversation isn’t just for moms.
Fellas, lean in.
This is about leadership in its rawest form. It's about breaking generational patterns, showing up with emotional intelligence, and letting go of control in favor of connection — whether you’re leading in your home, in your business, or just trying to lead yourself through a season of change.
Elle opens up about personal scars, family wounds, and the courageous mindset shifts that turned her pain into power — and the conversation challenges us all, as men and women, to rethink what strength really looks like.
We talk legacy, fatherhood, emotional honesty, and how to lead without letting past pain call the shots. If you've ever wrestled with how to lead better — this episode is for you.
