What if your darkest chapter became the foundation for your greatest success? In this episode of Gratitude Geek, Kandas Rodarte sits down with Lydia Knight, a cult survivor who rewrote her life and rose to become a 7-figure CEO and executive coach. Lydia shares how she transformed indoctrination into empowerment, why curiosity is more powerful than fear, and how the “algorithms” of our brains shape the way we lead, communicate, and connect. Her story is one of resilience, neuroscience, and practical strategies that every woman solopreneur can use to step fully into her own leadership. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to reprogram fear into curiosity Practical brain hacks for personal and professional growth The invisible forces that shape how women are treated in leadership Why community and connection are essential to transformation Connect with Lydia Knight Website: https://theshecenter.org Free app: https://theshecenter.org/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theshecenter Book:  https://amzn.to/41Hj63L  Show Notes: https://kandasrodarte.com/288  === Love the show?
