The Secret to Making Better Life Choices

Do you ever feel like you’re just moving through life on autopilot—making decisions based on deadlines, pressure, or expectations rather than what truly feels right?

In my latest podcast, I had a deeply insightful and heartfelt conversation with Bhavna Toor, Founder & CEO of Shenomics, a global platform for mindful leadership. Bhavna left behind a successful Wall Street career to help over 100,000 women lead with intention and live more consciously.

She’s now a LinkedIn Top Voice for Gender Equity, recipient of the 2024 Global Women of Influence Award, and author of the upcoming book The Conscious Choice—a guide to intentional living in a distracted world.

Her journey is remarkable, but even more inspiring is the mindset shift she teaches:

“We don’t need to make perfect decisions. We need to make conscious ones.”

Here are five powerful insights from our podcast that will inspire you to live, lead, and choose with clarity:

 1. Conscious choices create a conscious life

Every decision we make, big or small, shapes our path. Bhavna shares how the difference between reacting impulsively and responding intentionally can completely transform how we navigate life and leadership.

2. Mindfulness isn’t a ritual, it’s a way of being

You don’t need to meditate for hours to be mindful. Just pause. Take a breath. Bhavna’s simple practice of setting one conscious intention a day helps bring presence and purpose into even the busiest schedules.

3. True leadership starts within

Leadership is not about being in control—it’s about being in alignment. Whether you’re leading a team or making personal decisions, showing up from a place of self-awareness is what creates real trust and influence.

4. Live on your own terms, not someone else’s timeline

Bhavna’s bold decision to step off the high-speed track of Wall Street reminds us: You don’t need to follow a script. You can define success for yourself—and it might look nothing like what the world expects.

5. When in doubt, pause instead of push

One of the most powerful takeaways? Clarity often comes after the pause, not before it. Don’t rush your decisions. Give yourself space to reflect, reconnect, and realign.

These insights are a gentle reminder that living intentionally doesn’t require dramatic change. It starts with awareness. With one breath. One decision. One moment of clarity.

Whether you’re navigating your next big step, managing burnout, or simply trying to reconnect with your purpose—this podcast will meet you where you are.
