Welcome back everybody to the one thing podcast we are so thrilled to have Talia Fox here today who is the CEO of Kusai Global Inc.

She holds an MN in counseling psychology from Howard University and she's a Harvard University fellow.

An inspirational leader in every sense of the word Talia is often referred to as the Jedi of inspiration by her clients,

which is so true as someone who read the books, who read her book and she's here today to talk to us about her book,

the power of conscious connection for habits to transform how you live and how you lead. Welcome Talia, we're so excited to have you today.

Thank you so much.

But really the key to the book, if I could summarize, is how your power and your purpose is reflected in every choice that you make.

And you talk about in the book, this love system, and how that can impact all aspects of our life, all aspects of our work.

And before we get into what that system actually is, I always like to hear what the impetus was for the creation of it,

and I have to say, as a mom to a little one myself, you open the book with this heart-bunching story,

that anyone who is a mom resonates with, you just sort of crying in the stairwell with your young son, which every mom who is feeling overwhelmed

and who's in the thick of the challenges of raising kids and being a mom and working like she doesn't have kids and having kids like she doesn't have work

and doing these things, it just was such a heart-bunching story that sat so well with me, and it was really that.

Sounds like to me that was sort of the impetus for the journey down this discovery.

Can you walk me through those moments in your life and how it led into just this so beautifully articulated process?

Thank you, Nikki. And I just want to send some love and light to you and all the parents out there that are in this phase of trying to balance their lives as parents

and as people that just want to live their best lives. For me, you know, I actually am so grateful for low moments.

I'm really grateful for my failures because on the other side of that, there's wisdom.

And the purpose of that wisdom is to be able to be on a podcast like this sharing it with other people.

So for me, I was a single mom and I, like maybe others, had this big dream, this perfect idea of how my life was going to turn out.

And I had some bumps in the road. You know, I thought that I was going to be this big go-getter and achieve so many things.

And I found myself just very little money, a single mom making mistakes. And it just got so bad.
