On this episode of The Soul Mirror, host Sana sits down with Barbara Palmer, a certified health and executive life coach and founder of BP Live Coaching Services (Houston). We cut through the noise around “doing more” and get specific on how to build real self-awareness without spiraling into over-analysis. Barbara shares direct, workable practices—notice-journaling, gratitude as an allowing state, and using imagination + intuition to align goals with what actually matters. For leaders and high performers who feel stuck in external metrics, this conversation reframes self-discovery as a clear, disciplined path to better decisions, calm focus, and quality of life. SEO: self-awareness, self-discovery, executive coaching, mindfulness, journaling, gratitude practice, intuition, alignment, leadership, mental clarity.
About the guest:
Barbara Palmer is a certified health and executive life coach and the founder of BP Live Coaching Services. She works with C-suite executives and business leaders to drive results while deepening life quality through intentional self-awareness, alignment, and practical mindset tools.
Key takeaways :
-
Self-awareness is chosen, not accidental: cultivate a desire to notice what you notice—thoughts, focus, and felt responses—to move from autopilot to intention.
-
Journal for signal, not story: capture what you noticed (thoughts, triggers, energy shifts) to reveal patterns without ruminating on the past.
-
Gratitude = allowing state: consistent appreciation tunes attention to desired end-states, reducing resistance and clarifying next steps.
-
Imagination is a performance tool: rehearsing the felt sense of a goal achieved primes subconscious support and inspired action.
-
Drop the “how/when,” ask better questions: replace analysis with present-tense prompts—“What do I do now? Who should I talk to next?”
-
Alignment over external metrics: redefine success by values and peace; grades, titles, and dashboards are snapshots, not identity.
-
Relationships as mirrors: shifting expectations changes how people show up; internal state precedes external outcomes.
-
Over-analysis stalls momentum: analysis explains the past; intuition guides action now. Quiet the mind to access inner knowing.
-
Boundaries of will: you are the ultimate authority in your life; sovereignty requires conscious choices, not default roles.
-
Start today: 10 minutes of notice-journaling + 2 minutes of gratitude + one “what/who” question to close the loop with action.
