In this episode of the Tactical Harmony Show, host Rebecca Fitzsimmons sits down with international speaker, strategist, and executive coach Clara Capano to dismantle the biggest lie in leadership: that being busy means being productive.

• The CEO Session and Bubble Time — scheduling strategies that eliminate distractions and protect your most valuable asset: your focus
• Why work-life balance is a myth — and how work-life harmony is the real goal for sustainable high performance
• Leadership vs. Likability — why being direct is the kindest and most powerful thing you can do for your team
• Self-care as a performance strategy — why the heart must pump blood to itself before it can serve the body
• How to update your why as you move through different seasons of life and leadership
• The human advantage in the age of AI — how to use technology to enhance connection rather than replace it.

Most leaders and entrepreneurs don’t struggle with strategy, they struggle with their subconscious mind.

Rebecca Fitzsimmons sits down with board certified hypnotist Todd Goodwin to break down how subconscious programming, childhood experiences, and unresolved trauma create deep-rooted limiting beliefs like "I'm not enough," "I'm not safe," and "I'm not worthy of love" — and how those beliefs silently shape who you marry, how you handle money, and how you show up in your career.

Todd shares how hypnosis can rewire the subconscious mind, helping high performers heal trauma, regulate emotions, and unlock a new level of mindset and leadership.

You’ll learn:

• How childhood experiences shape your identity, relationships, and success
• Why trauma lives in the subconscious mind and how to release it
• The connection between emotions, habits, and self-sabotage
• Why willpower alone doesn’t work (and what actually does)
• How entrepreneurs and leaders can reprogram their mindset for lasting change
• The truth about healing, self-awareness, and emotional balance



If you've ever wondered why you keep self-sabotaging, struggling with anxiety, or repeating the same patterns no matter how hard you try — this episode will change everything you think you know about your own mind.
