Why You Can't Accept a Compliment -- And What It's Doing to Your Brain Chemistry
Ep 88 · Aug 13, 2026 · 16 min
Listen to the Episode Someone praises your work and your hands are up before they finish the sentence. "It was a team thing." "It was nothing." You think you're being humble. In this solo episode, executive coach and certified counselor Jahmaal Marshall takes you underneath the reflex — to the subconscious origin belief that's been writing your brain chemistry, driving your over-functioning, and manufacturing a burnout no vacation ever seems to fix. This is root-cause work, not surface-level adv…

How Growing Up in Chaos Can Make Peace Feel Suspicious - Jahmaal Marshall
Ep 81 · May 16, 2026 · 27 min
KEY TAKEAWAYS What to Walk Away With Chaos isn’t just an external circumstance, for many people, it’s an internal identity built in childhood. Your nervous system will always move toward what’s familiar, not what’s healthy, until you consciously rewire it. Self-sabotage is not a character flaw. It is a protection strategy that outlived its usefulness. Leaders carry their wounds into their organizations. Healing isn’t soft, it is a competitive advantage. Peace is a skill that can be developed. To…
