About this listen

Welcome to the Blow Your Mind(set) Podcast — where ordinary moments meet extraordinary mindset shifts. 🎙️


In a world that’s noisy, messy, and constantly moving, we slow things down just enough to ask: "Did that really just happen?"


I’m your host, Nicole Smith — emotional intelligence expert, mindset disruptor, and your favorite thought partner in this wild ride we call leadership and life.


Every episode, we crack open the stories, shifts, and surprises that challenge how we think, lead, and show up. From boardrooms to breakups, social trends to self-talk, we’re unpacking it all through the lens of emotional brilliance.


You’ll hear powerful solo episodes and unfiltered conversations with game-changers, thought leaders, and real people doing the inner work. No fluff. Just real talk, real insight, and a real push to think differently.


Whether you're navigating a personal pivot or leading in high-pressure spaces — this is your space to reset, reframe, and blow your mindset wide open.


Let’s get into it.

  • Blow Your Mind(set): 50 Cent, Diddy, and the Emotional Intelligence Masterclass You Missed
    Dec 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Most people see drama. Leaders see strategy.

    In this episode, I dissect 50 Cent's documentary move on Diddy—not as celebrity gossip, but as an emotional intelligence masterclass. He controlled his emotions, read the cultural moment, understood the emotional climate, and turned years of tension into influence, revenue, and global positioning.

    Your leadership will face similar moments. Maybe not on Netflix, but absolutely in your workplace and reputation.

    I break down five critical truths for leading in cancel culture:

    1. Power without EQ is a liability
    2. Silence is the real scandal
    3. Receipts live forever
    4. EQ gives you influence that outlasts backlash
    5. Self-correction speed determines survival

    You cannot afford to lead on autopilot. The leaders who rise in 2025 are the ones who maximize their emotional intelligence—not for show, but for sustainability.

    This is your wake-up call.

  • Blow Your Mind(set): From Trauma To Triumph: Mastering the Art of Becoming with Malaysia Harrell
    Dec 10 2025

    Send us a text

    In this transformative episode, host Nicole F Smith sits down with Malaysia Harrell—psychotherapist, spiritual transformation coach, UN peace ambassador, best-selling author, and military veteran—for a conversation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, purpose, and healing.
    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
    ✅ How to know when you're living in your divine assignment
    ✅ The difference between authenticity and transparency
    ✅ Why trauma can redirect you toward your purpose
    ✅ How to master the art of becoming and surrender
    ✅ Why everyone can't come with you on your journey
    ✅ How to redefine success on your own terms
    MALAYSIA'S STORY: After surviving childhood trauma, near-death experiences in the military, and nine surgeries in five years, Malaysia found herself at rock bottom—254 pounds, Bell's palsy, sarcoidosis, and unable to walk. But in that dark night of the soul, she had a true conversation with God and chose surrender. Three weeks after military retirement, she met with Howard Schultz (Starbucks founder), proving that obedience leads to miracles.
    Now as a UN-sanctioned peace ambassador, Malaysia travels internationally, helping high-achieving women heal from behind their masks of perfection and step into their divine assignments.

  • Blow Your Mind(set): When Clarity, Confidence, and Courage Collide: Season 4 Recap
    Nov 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Season 4 brought the real work to the surface.

    Across every episode, leaders opened up about grief, reinvention, parenting almost-adults, navigating faith, surviving adversity, and choosing courage over comfort.

    You heard raw conversations about DEI, AI, emotional maturity, purpose-driven leadership, and what it means to stop performing and start living your truth.

    This season reminded us:

    • Clarity comes when you confront what you’ve been avoiding
    • Confidence grows when you lead with honesty instead of perfection
    • Emotional maturity is the foundation of spiritual, personal, and professional growth
    • Healing is leadership work — not a side assignment
    • Mindset + EQ determine the quality of every conversation, decision, and relationship
    • Purpose gets louder when you stop hiding behind titles and start telling the truth
    • You can’t build trust or resilience without emotional intelligence

    From faith leaders to entrepreneurs, community builders to corporate voices — every guest showed what transformation looks like in real time.

    Season 4 asked you to stop reacting.
    Season 5 will push you to rise.

    See you on Season 5!
