Are We More Powerful Than We Think? Caroline Cory on Unlocking Our Superhuman Potential

Exploring consciousness, intuition, the power of belief, and the extraordinary experiences behind Superhuman 2: The Rebirth.

What if the biggest limitation on your potential is what you've been taught to believe is possible?

In this episode of Potential to Powerhouse, Tracy Holland sits down with award-winning filmmaker and consciousness researcher Caroline Cory to explore what it really means to be superhuman.

Caroline is the director of Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible and Superhuman 2: The Rebirth, documentaries exploring extraordinary human abilities, consciousness, and the relationship between the mind and physical reality.

This conversation isn't just about extraordinary phenomena. It's about how we show up in our everyday lives.

For entrepreneurs, that means understanding how fear, self-doubt, intuition, and personal beliefs influence the decisions we make, the opportunities we pursue, and the way we lead.

Caroline also shares a practical reset exercise using breathing, awareness, and intention to help us approach difficult moments with greater calm and clarity.

• What being superhuman really means

• Caroline's childhood experiences and what inspired her work

• The extraordinary experiments explored in her two documentaries

• The connection between consciousness, intuition, and human potential

• How fear and limiting beliefs affect our choices

• Using intuition in business, leadership, and relationships

• Why Caroline believes intention matters more than repeating affirmations

• A simple breathing exercise to help reset your mindset

Caroline Cory is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and consciousness researcher whose work explores human potential and extraordinary experiences. She directed Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible and its follow-up, Superhuman 2: The Rebirth.

Through documentary storytelling, interviews, and experiments, Caroline invites audiences to question conventional assumptions about human consciousness and explore what might be possible.

When Cynthia Garcia turned 40, someone told her to "enjoy becoming invisible."

Her response? Absolutely not.

In this candid conversation, Cynthia and I talk about beauty, aging, confidence, success, and a woman's right to decide what makes her feel good in her own body.

Cynthia shares her journey from growing up in extreme poverty without running water to becoming a four-time entrepreneur whose companies have generated more than $100 million. She also opens up about the health crisis that led her to study clinical nutrition, build the Institute of Transformational Nutrition, and eventually create Rewritten Beauty and The Vanity Club.

We also talk honestly about the pressure women feel to choose between being attractive and being taken seriously. Whether your version of feeling hot includes procedures, hormones, skincare, gua sha, or none of it, the point is that you get to choose.

• Why Cynthia refused to become invisible after 40

• The connection between beauty, confidence, and power

• How she turned personal challenges into successful businesses

• Why women often downplay their appearance to be taken seriously

What if the most powerful thing you could do as a leader… is say less?

In this solo episode of Potential to Powerhouse, Tracy Holland unpacks one of the most surprising leadership lessons she's learned from Jeff Bezos — and how it completely shifted the way she thinks about influence, communication, and emotional intelligence in business.

Drawing from Bezos' philosophy of "speaking last," Tracy explores how entrepreneurs and leaders can unintentionally silence creativity by leading every conversation with their own opinions. She shares why creating space for others to speak first can unlock innovation, psychological safety, honesty, and breakthrough ideas inside teams and families alike.

This episode is a powerful reminder that true leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room. It's about listening deeply enough to hear the insights you would have otherwise missed.

• Why overwhelm and "drudgery" are signs it's time to delegate
• The leadership habit Jeff Bezos uses in meetings — and why it works
• How speaking first can unintentionally shape and limit team conversations
• Why the most junior person in the room may hold the most valuable insight
• The connection between leadership and emotional intelligence (EQ)
• How psychological safety creates innovation and truth-telling
• A real-life business example where listening saved millions in revenue
• A practical exercise to improve leadership, communication, and team dynamics this week

The strongest leaders don't dominate conversations — they create space for others to think, contribute, and rise. Tracy challenges entrepreneurs to rethink what leadership really looks like and offers a practical framework for becoming a more effective, emotionally intelligent leader by listening first and speaking last.

Welcome to Potential to Powerhouse: Success Secrets from Female Leaders, where host Tracy Holland dives into transformative conversations with trailblazing women.

In this episode, Tracy sits down with J.R. Ward, 11-time New York Times bestselling author and creator of the global phenomenon Black Dagger Brotherhood. With over 65 novels and 30 million books sold, J.R. Ward has built one of the most successful fiction empires of our time.

But her journey was not linear.

From being fired by her publisher to rebuilding her career from the ground up, J.R. shares what it really takes to trust your instincts, stay in the game, and create success on your own terms. This conversation is a masterclass in grit, discipline, and reinvention.

• J.R. Ward's creative process and how stories come from visualization, not construction

• Why discipline matters more than talent and what it takes to write every day for 25 years

• The pivotal moment she was dropped by her publisher and chose to keep going

• How writing authentically instead of copying others changed everything

When she was fired and could have walked away, she chose to double down, refine her voice, and build something that was truly her own. Her story is a reminder that discipline, self-awareness, and trust in your instincts are what separate those who succeed from those who stop.

Welcome to Potential to Powerhouse: Success Secrets from Female Leaders, where host Tracy Holland dives into transformative conversations with visionary thinkers, entrepreneurs, and experts redefining success.

In this deeply moving episode, Tracy sits down with Dr. Srikumar Rao, founder of the Rao Institute and one of the world's most respected executive coaches. Dr. Rao works with highly successful entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who have already reached the top — yet still feel something is missing.

Why?

Because achievement alone does not create fulfillment.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Rao shares why so many high achievers feel empty after reaching their goals and explains the deeper purpose behind human existence. Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions and modern leadership principles, he explores how entrepreneurs can shift from ego-driven success to lasting peace, purpose, and joy.

If you've ever wondered "Is this all there is?", this conversation may change the way you see your life, your work, and the universe itself.

• Why success doesn't always lead to fulfillment

• The real purpose of life

• The illusion of the "doer" mindset

• Why we chase goals that don't truly satisfy us

• How to quiet the mind and escape the cycle of anxiety

• The concept of the "friendly universe"

• A simple practice to transform your mindset
  
  

Many entrepreneurs believe that once they achieve success, happiness will follow. But as Dr. Srikumar Rao explains, success often reveals a deeper truth: fulfillment doesn't come from accomplishments but from awareness. By shifting perspective, letting go of ego, and recognizing the deeper nature of our existence, we can move from striving and anxiety toward peace, joy, and a sense of purpose that is not dependent on external success.

It is in humanity.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Sri Mummaneni, preventative medicine physician and founder of Abundance Health, to talk about what high performing women truly need to thrive long term.

So many of us push hard, run fast, and burn bright until we hit a wall. Dr. Sri challenges the traditional sick care model and shares a new way forward. One rooted in energy, alignment, longevity, and living fully in your body while building your business.

If you want to feel alive, clear, and strong for decades to come, this episode is your reset.

• Why the current medical system focuses on sickness instead of optimization

• The real signs of high performer burnout and founder fatigue

• Four simple daily habits that increase longevity and energy

Thriving is not about pushing harder. It is about aligning your biology, your nervous system, and your identity with who you truly are. When you build energy from the inside out and create a clear vision for your future self, longevity becomes a byproduct. You do not just add years to your life. You add life to your years.

On today's episode of Potential to Powerhouse podcast, we caught up with powerhouse Annie McAdams, to hear more about the important work she is doing around social media, child exploitation and sex trafficking.

Annie and her firm, is taking on big tech, and going head to head to protect prospective victims against predators who are openly grooming and luring kids for sex online.

In this eye-opening second episode with lawyer Annie McAdams, we continue uncovering how big tech companies play a role in child sex trafficking, and how she is holding them accountable. 

If you found Part 1 insightful, brace yourself for an even deeper dive in Part 2 as we continue our conversation with the fierce trial lawyer Annie McAdams. After her appearance last year on 60 Minutes, Annie returns to discuss with Tracy the updates on the ongoing battle against major tech companies and their role in facilitating child sex trafficking.

It seems like it is always a battle to really protect our kids from those who we don't know, but who front as kids to our kids online.

 This is a legit problem, and Annie is committed to exposing the issue to benefit parents, and stop the big money game of disappearing messages, and clearly 'kid targeting' social apps that make it almost impossible for parents to monitor and spot their young kids getting targeted.

Join us in this important episode of Potential to Powerhouse as we delve into the world of entrepreneurship, finance, and financeable (non dilutive!) growth for brick-and-mortar businesses. Meet Neha Govindraj, a visionary who has unlocked the secret to scaling businesses without diluting the founder's ownership. Learn about Neha's personal journey, from her childhood fascination with puzzles and games to her college major shift from computer science to economics, with a passionate focus on startups. 

In this episode, we dive into key highlights including:

Discovering the Importance of Capital for Business Growth:

• Neha's experience at Bain & Company, and co-founding Glow Bar, a high growth start-up which led her to the realization that capital is crucial for business growth – and capital was impossible to find, without being highly dilutive to founders. This important "aha" moment was the catalyst to her founding Bonside.
• Career Paths and Decision-Making.
• Neha discusses how an internship at Bain & Company helped her discover her career trajectory. She also highlights the role of her supportive family in her decision to pursue entrepreneurship.

Leveraging Education and Work Experience:

• Neha emphasizes the importance of leveraging a prestigious school or work experience to gain credibility and confidence in the entrepreneurial journey. 
• She advises setting a time limit for starting a business to allow for inspired decision-making. 

Finding Funding for Your Business:

• Neha and her co-founder raised capital to fuel the early growth of their business, and later sought institutional capital without an investment banker (a smart way to avoid steep investment banker fees!)

Understanding Venture Capital and Equity:

• Neha reflects on her experience with venture capital and the importance of questioning industry norms. She explains how equity ownership and valuations play a crucial role in the startup journey. Bonside provides capital to brick and mortar businesses, just off the simplicity of cash flow, without personal guarantees, or onerous equity giveaways. This was a new instrument in the lending business and has shaken the financing world - with a fair way to borrow for growth! YESSSS! 

Revolutionizing Brick-and-Mortar Industry:

• Neha discusses her transition from Bonside to GlowBar, emphasizing the rise in angel investing and the need for a different investment structure to scale brick-and-mortar businesses. She advocates for focusing on profitability and positive change in the industry rather than solely pursuing revenue.

Alternative Financing Options:

• Neha shares her vision for creating a new asset class by providing growth capital to brick-and-mortar businesses in exchange for a percentage of sales. The idea is to have a fixed repayment cap with no perpetual collection. This alternative financing option, such as Bonside, can help unlock revenue for multi-unit businesses by improving cash flow.

Get ready for an inspiring journey that will motivate you to reach your full potential. Join us on this exciting adventure by tuning in to "Potential to Powerhouse" today. Together, we can unlock the secrets to success for female entrepreneurs everywhere. Let's do this!

Leeza and Tracy also talk about the different approaches men and women have towards networking, with men prioritizing the "who" and women focusing on the "how."
• Finding balance and fulfillment in life is explored. Leeza shares that balancing work and personal life is not about finding a middle ground, but rather investing in personal growth and self-care.

Leeza now finds joy in nurturing and supporting others, and being in the moment, enjoying those she loves, doing the things she loves.

• She discusses the importance of embracing vulnerability and finding inner peace. Leeza opens about her fear of intimacy as a younger woman, and her authenticity, and how it impacts both her work and personal life. She also emphasizes the power of sharing stories and revealing vulnerabilities to support and heal others, which is the truth / trust dynamic.
• Self-care, recalibration, and finding joy. Leeza emphasizes that identifying and nurturing joy is especially important for caregivers. To support caregivers, Leeza has launched a mentor program called "Hugs", aimed at helping them grow and find support, when taking care of someone else that you love.

Are you ready to unlock a deeper connection, enhance intimacy, and create lasting happiness with your love partner? Join us on the Potential to Powerhouse podcast, as we delve into the world of hormonal dynamics and practical strategies for relationship success. Best-selling author, Dr. John Gray, of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, unveils the secrets to understanding and balancing feminine and masculine energy in relationships in his discussion with Tracy Holland. These are tips for any woman seeking a deeper connection with her male love partner both in life and in the bedroom!  

•  Dr. John Gray describes the polarity between feminine and masculine energy in relationships and emphasizes the impact of hormones on the dynamic between partners, especially with high-performing powerhouse women, who are driving hard. Hormones are influential to the relationship dynamic… 

• Dr. Gray highlights the importance of allowing partners to reset and give to themselves (here is a big hint!) when men pull away, it biologically increases your estrogen (and your questions around why?!). What should you do? It's time to go to the spa, and engage in activities that nourish yourself, (hint again – do not pursue him or chase him down, unless you want him to withdraw further).  

• Did you know that your female hormonal balances, specifically estrogen and progesterone, are crucial for your happiness, (and making a baby!), feeling orgasmic, and having positive feelings about your life? Yep, this is important stuff friends.  

• Dr. Gray suggests balancing one's male and female energy in a relationship and discussing activities for both partners after men's periods of 'retreat' and cave time. If you have no idea what I am talking about, I suggest picking up a copy of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, In the Bedroom.  

• Work-life balance is crucial for maintaining healthy hormone levels and relationships, work hard by day, but friends, when you get home, ease into your best feminine self. 

• Ladies, listen to this, over-giving to a partner can lead to resentment and an imbalance of your testosterone levels, emphasizing the importance of balancing masculine and feminine aspects in relationships. 

• To increase estrogen levels, ask your partner for reassurance and ask him for what you need, this can be crucial in relationships, particularly for women, and embracing feminine energy and reassurance can deepen intimacy (hint: it increases his testosterone when you ask for help). 

• Emotional vulnerability is vital for creating a more intimate and supportive environment in relationships. 

• Emotional reassurance is essential for making love, (women generally need to feel safe and secure) and low estrogen levels can affect women's orgasms. Focusing on emotional vulnerability can help improve intimacy and integrate feminine and masculine aspects in relationships, increasing your estrogen and making intimacy more delicious. 

 It's time to ignite your relationship, balance your energy, and experience the love and happiness you both deserve. Let's do it friends! High five.
