What if the secret to breakthrough wasn't in doing more, but in letting go?

Nikki explores a word that stirs up discomfort and power in equal measure: surrender. Far from passive, Nikki redefines surrender as an intentional act of strength, one that stops the cycle of force and opens the door to aligned breakthroughs.

Through her own leadership journey, she shares how surrender isn't about giving up, but about giving in to what's already guiding you. From calming your nervous system to clarifying your next step, Nikki shows how surrender becomes the bridge between resistance and real power.

Whether you're in a season of pushing, pivoting, or pausing, this conversation will shift how you view strength, trust, and forward movement.

Ever found yourself mid-argument thinking, "Why am I so worked up right now?" What if the real culprit… is your ego?

David is joined by Amy Woodall for a conversation that feels more like a mirror than a mic. Together, they pull back the curtain on ego, and how it sneaks into your relationships, hijacks your reactions, and disguises itself as righteousness.

Amy shows us where ego lurks and how asking one simple question, "What would love do?", can change the tone, the outcome, and maybe even the world.

Expect to feel called out, cracked open, and challenged to stop forwarding that podcast to "someone who really needs to hear it"… and instead, take it personally. This is your invitation to check your ego, rewire your reactions, and step into leadership with radical love, not loud opinions. ❤️
