We all get stuck; at work, at home, and in the stories, we tell ourselves. In this conversation, Debbie Holcomb, founder of Gracing Experiences and co‑founder of Women Revealed, joins host Amish Shah to unpack shadow work, how shame shows up, and practical ways to move from blame to ownership so relationships can heal and thrive. Debbie explains why our earliest imprints (ages 0–10) shape adult patterns, how “inflated” traits keep us stuck, and simple shifts that change everything like taking 100% responsibility for your 50% and changing the goal from agreement to understanding.

You’ll come away with tools for presence, communication, and connection, including how to use the Enneagram as a translator (not a label) so you can speak to people in the way they best hear you. Whether you’re leading a team or leading at home, this episode will help you build better bridges.

Shadow Work

What makes teams truly scalable? What happens when trust fades, and can it be rebuilt?

On this episode of Building Bridges, Scott Mordell, CEO of Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), joins to explore why trust isn’t a “soft” concept, but a strategic cornerstone of leadership and performance.

From the pitfalls of leaders trying to “do it themselves” to the early warning signs of eroding trust, this conversation highlights the behaviors and habits that sustain trust over time — and what it requires to rebuild it once it breaks.

This episode is for leaders, founders, and team builders who believe trust is earned through consistency, authenticity, and accountability.

In this episode of Building Bridges, Amish Shah talks with Bethany Hartley, CEO of the South Bend–Elkhart Regional Partnership, about leadership, economic development, and building trust to create thriving communities.

Bethany shares her career journey, how regional collaboration has unlocked over $1 billion in investment, and why the South Bend–Elkhart region is attracting businesses, talent, and families from across the country. They also explore lifelong learning, Bethany’s Executive MBA experience at Notre Dame, practical uses of AI , and why trust is the most important bridge leaders can build.

A must-listen for anyone interested in leadership, community impact, and the future of regional growth.
