About this listen

 What do menopausal mood swings, a maximum-security prison rodeo, and top-tier sales skills have in common? More than you think. This episode dives into mental health, redemption, and how real human connection is the ultimate currency in life and business. In this episode of The Session with Londa and David, Londa opens up about the realities of menopause, hormone therapy, and navigating depressive episodes—all while running a business and showing up for clients. The conversation then pivots to their trip to the Angola Prison Rodeo, exploring how incarcerated men channel creativity, discipline, and hope through craftsmanship, music, and community programs. Along the way, they unpack what real empathy looks like, why we should never assume we know someone’s inner world, and how kindness is always the right move in both life and business. Three business takeaways: 1. Your biology affects your business. Honoring mental health and hormonal realities isn’t weakness—it’s operational wisdom. Taking care of your body and brain makes you more effective with clients and teams. 2. Human connection is your competitive advantage. From the FORM/FORD framework in sales (family, occupation, recreation, dreams) to simply asking better questions at a dinner table or client meeting, genuine curiosity builds trust and long-term relationships. 3. Redemption and growth fuel culture. Watching lifers at Angola use art, craftsmanship, and discipline to create meaning shows how powerful it is to give people something to strive for. In business, creating opportunities for growth, contribution, and dignity transforms both people and results. #LeadershipWithHeart #MentalHealthInBusiness #HumanConnection #SalesWithSoul #ResilienceStories
