Constructive Adrenaline: How Impact Leaders Turn Urgency Into Action (Without Burning Out), with Lia Carlucci, CEO Food Campus Berlin, Serial Entrepreneur, TedX Speaker, Mother, Mentor, & Badass Foodtechie, 86

It's easy to mistake awareness for action and anxiety for accountability. Even when we take action, it's easy to spiral into "this alone will not solve the problem." This episode is for the fighters. The ones who feel the weight of what's happening in the world and refuse to look away, whether you're building a company, working in foodtech, healthtech, femmetech, media, or simply trying to live in a way that reflects what you believe to lead systemic change. Lia Carlucci, a serial entrepreneur + founder of Food Campus Berlin, shares what systemic change looks like in foodtech / innovation. She grounds us in the science about what moves the needle on our food system. She'll spark a conversation at your dinner table about the habits around consumption we've normalized, and what they're costing us, not just environmentally, but energetically.  This episode will show you >how to hold the urgency without drowning in it. >climate anxiety → climate action >anti-hustle but pro-impact, (how to actually be in your impact-era !) >how to build community, over competition, and actually have values-led impact >how to convert what feels like helplessness into what Lia calls constructive adrenaline–turning the problem you care most about into the thing you choose to build toward. We face daunting challenges as a collective. But the path through them is not heroic isolation, it's intersection between the scientist, the corporate innovator, the entrepreneur, the policymaker and investors. That starts much closer to home than we think: Our mindset and ability to widen our circle of influence. We increase our circle of influence by collaborating with others. With those who will meet your urgency with their own, and help you make an impact in the way that is most authentic to you.

We have been taught that authority in business is earned through credentials, strategy, and relentless execution. It is. But why do women still earn less, raise less funds (2% of funding goes to women), and get overlooked, constantly?! Some say, it's about knowing how to speak to the hard facts, the KPIs, yes, but also: What's your body language, energy and frequency telling others?  Is it conveying that they'd be silly if they didn't invest in you? Or is your energy telling them that you're not good enough and thus a bad investment decision.  In this solo episode, Helena breaks down the one thing no one in business really talks about: how your energy helps determine your business outcomes. After nearly losing everything following her move to LA, Helena discovered that the only tool that saved her wasn't a better business plan, a better pitch, it was learning how to tune herself from the inside out (which then influenced how she tackled her work!)  This episode covers the exact principles and daily practices Helena uses to lead from a place of inner authority, and why that inner authority is what high-performing women must build first — before they can be trusted with rooms, capital, and clients. You'll learn: why your inner state is your most underleveraged business asset, how to stop seeking external validation and start radiating self-created authority, and also how to spot — and protect yourself from — the spiritual gaslighting that happens in entrepreneurial circles, and a real daily practice that rewires limiting beliefs at the neurological level. This one is for the woman who is brilliant, capable, and doing the work, but still walking into rooms braced to prove herself.  It's time to stop asking to be seen and start being undeniable.

If you’re at the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey and secretly wondering, “Am I even cut out for this?” then this episode is for you.In this conversation, we talk honestly about what no one prepares you for when you start building something of your own:the self-doubt, the identity confusion, the feeling that everyone else knows what they’re doing while you’re making it up as you go.Because the truth is, we all start there. We all start as imposters. We all feel inadequate before we feel capable.And most of us don’t become entrepreneurs because it was a lifelong dream, we fall into it, and then have to figure it out from there. In this episode, we unpack:How to pivot when your passion isn’t what people are willing to pay forThe emotional reality of building a brand from scratch (and why it’s normal to feel lost)How to know if entrepreneurship is actually for youThe difference between passion projects and doing free work strategicallyHow to build a reputation, a network, and momentum — especially in a city like LAWhy identity clarity matters when you pivot (and why having “two identities” confuses the market)How to expand your brand into new markets and navigate (reverse) culture shockWhat integrity looks like when doing business with friends — and what to do when it gets messyMore than anything, this conversation is here to remind you of one thing:You’re not crazy.You’re not behind.And you’re not alone in this.Entrepreneurship isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about staying in the game long enough to learn who you are, what you don’t want, and what you’re willing to take ownership of and figure out. If you’re building, pivoting, or quietly questioning everything, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Zemo and His Journey01:34 Zemo's Early Entrepreneurial Path04:04 Challenges and Realizations in Entrepreneurship08:12 Strategic Growth and Free Work12:20 Navigating Market Demands and Pivots17:06 Adapting to Industry Changes and Future Outlook21:50 Balancing Multiple Careers22:40 Navigating Identity Shifts24:36 The Importance of Clear Positioning27:08 Collaborative Culture in LA29:33 Friendship and Business37:32 Expanding Business Globally38:13 Cultural Differences in Business41:55 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsConnect with Zemo on IGFollow Seemingly Virtual on IG Connect with me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helena.arjuna?_t=8oSbtTilPSQ&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenasuter/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?si=g63NToOK45W1CiBI Support the show🎙If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend, DM me to chat on IG, LinkedIn or comment on YouTube or on Spotify in the podcast Q&A section!

Why We Still Can’t Say ‘Vagina’ at Work, and What It’s Costing Women in Leadership. Ugh. I know. But there's hope:What if the biggest barrier to women’s leadership isn’t a lack of confidence, but the shame we’re taught to carry about our own bodies?In this episode, Helena sits down with Kamola Mir, CEO and founder of Lidovex, a health-tech company building the world’s first cervical (data) ecosystem. What begins as a conversation about fem-tech quickly expands into a deeper truth:You cannot build a world that values women if you still devalue the female body.From being laughed at on stage for saying the word “vagina,” to navigating investor meetings where a woman’s worth is often assessed before her work isKamola breaks down the emotional, biological, and cultural realities women face when they lead inside male-designed systems.Together, we explore:Why de-stigmatizing women’s bodies is a leadership issue, not a “women’s topic”How shame shapes everything from our ambition to our burnout cyclesWhy female biology is not a weakness, but a strategic advantageThe hidden mental load female founders carry in every roomHow to stay authentic when the world rewards you for fitting inHow to build inner power even when the system feels riggedThis is an episode for every woman who has ever hustled through pain, silenced her intuition to appear “professional,” or tried to win inside a structure that was never built for her.If you’re ready to unlearn the shame, reclaim your biology, and lead from a place of grounded power, this one is for you.Chapters:00:55 Intro: Why femtech isn’t niche but a cultural revolution01:20 Moving past generations of research centered on white men02:16 The rise of women leading taboo-breaking innovation02:49 How women are finally steering investment and change03:37 Celebrating Kamola Mir, Founder/ CEO reshaping women’s health with Lidavex: Building an ecosystem that returns ownership to women’s bodies04:16 Kamola's Trauma: childbirth care built without women in mind06:00 Leaving patriarchal workplaces, listening to our inner voice and create the change we need in the world07:30 Women must fight for their bodies09:07 The moment intuition becomes survival in labor10:41 Why women need both intuition and data to lead well12:06 How shame still silences women’s conversations about our bodies13:03 Reclaiming our anatomy and naming our truths without fear15:01 When saying “vagina” triggers giggles and how to speak up17:09 Patriarchy at work and why women don’t fit the 9–5 mold19:37 Redefining productivity through the wisdom of female cycles21:08 Navigating sexualization while trying to lead authentically24:26 Three ways women can release shame and rise into leadership29:43 Building an immune system for disagreement and staying grounded under pressure31:53 The emotional cost of being ‘fuckable’ in male-dominated spaces & how to deal with it33:07 Showing up empowered while navigating safety, power, and perception37:53 Knowing when to adapt, when to walk away, and when to stand your ground43:01 Why patriarchal hustle culture breaks women’s bodies and how to reclaim balance Connect with Kamola on LinkedInDiscover, stay up to date, fund and support Lidovix' journey: Website and LinkedInUntil next time!! xx Connect with me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helena.arjuna?_t=8oSbtTilPSQ&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenasuter/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?si=g63NToOK45W1CiBI Support the show🎙If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend, DM me to chat on IG, LinkedIn or comment on YouTube or on Spotify in the podcast Q&A section!

To improve the world, we don't need more of the same. We need you—your unique way of seeing, doing, and building things.In this episode, Kameale Terry, CEO and co-founder of ChargerHelp, shares how to build and lead a business from scratch to transform society despite extreme headwinds:America is an idea—if it’s broken, build the missing parts. Your voice is not optional.Put your resourcefulness to work when the ecosystem is fragmented, find the backdoor and capitalize on itHire for the real game. Kameale’s first hire? Government affairs, because innovation needed rules.Prove the invisible. Pay for the data early → moat, credibility, and sales leverage.Design systems where humans win. Pair blue-collar skill with AI to raise wages, not erase jobs.Self-care = capacity. Let grief, loss, and doubt sharpen your mission.Her approach is a blueprint: inner conviction + unique approach to innovation → outer systems change.If you’ve ever doubted whether your perspective belongs, this conversation will rewire you.About Kameale's story: ❤️‍🔥 She's from South Central LA and the CEO and co-founder of ChargerHelp. She rebuilt an industry playbook most people never saw coming: reliability for EV charging at scale.❤️‍🔥She raised $20M, pioneered a national technician certification, and hired government relations as her first role: She shows how policy, workforce, and AI must co-exist if you want climate tech that works at scale.❤️‍🔥She talks about: Loss, grief, and doubt. It didn’t break her mission; it clarified it.

Most female leader don’t fail because they lack skill—they fail because they leak power. In this solo episode of where boundaries fissolve, Helena shares a painful sales call that cracked her open and reshaped her approach to self-leadership. Through this story, she uncovers why chasing likability undermines authority, how the “gender trust gap” changes the game, and why building inner safety is the ultimate growth hack for influence, respect, and results.This isn’t theory. It’s a hard-won lesson from the trenches of entrepreneurship—and a roadmap to help you stop selling yourself short and start standing in your power.5 key take awaysLikability doesn’t close deals—authority, clarity, and confidence does. Learn why respect, not validation, is the foundation of successful leadership.People aren’t targeting you—they’re targeting your power. A mindset shift that dissolves fear, emotional reactivity, and imposter syndrome.Know who’s in front of you. Understand the gender trust gap and how tailoring your approach builds faster, stronger connections.Inner safety is your secret weapon. Stop outsourcing validation—practice the rituals that anchor you in authority before any high-stakes conversation.Detach from the outcome and lead with clarity. Prepare, rehearse, and step into the energy of the leader you need to be—because impact starts with how you show up.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: The Myth of Likability in Business00:32 Welcome to the Podcast00:41 A Brutal Week in Sales, Learning the Hard Way..03:02 The Gender Trust Gap in Sales--Know Who You Are Speaking To!!

Helena sits down with Farrah Khan, former mayor of Irvine and the first Muslim, South Asian woman ever elected to the city council. They unpack how Farrah broke through political resistance, navigated public microaggressions, and turned personal identity into political power.They talk about the emotional toll of leadership, pivoting after rejection, and why vulnerability and transparency aren’t weaknesses—they’re leadership superpowers. Farrah shares what helped her run again after losing, and how she turned sexist and racist jabs into assets, and why she believes community-driven governance is the future of innovation. Under her leadership, Irvine officially celebrated Pride and Juneteenth for the first time. She also passed anti-discrimination protections for the LGBTQ+ community.If you’re a person of color, a young leader, or someone navigating power structures that weren’t built for you—this episode will leave you grounded, fired up, and ready to lead on your terms.🚨SPECIAL DEAL: Grab your FREE ticket and meet Farrah Khan and Helena at the Symposium for Women in Tech on July 25: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-in-tech-symposium-by-quantum-emotion-tickets-1409552141399?aff=oddtdtcreatorNow, back to the epiosde: Key Takeaways:1. Flip the narrative they try to trap you in.When Farrah was publicly dismissed as “just a PTA mom,” she didn’t shrink—she reframed. 2. Detach from the title, attach to your purpose.Whether you’re a founder, mayor, or business owner—people will project their fears onto you. Farrah reminds us: it’s not you they’re attacking, it’s the seat. When you stay rooted in who you are beyond the title, you don’t take it personally— that’s where real freedom lies.3. Let community be your strategy.Farrah didn’t pass groundbreaking policies alone. She invited people in and made sure they were seen in the process. Real leadership isn’t about taking up the most space. It’s about designing rooms where people have a voice. Power shared is power multiplied.Chapters:03:11 Are you proud and connected of your cultural heritage?

In this episode, Kristina Morf, Founder/CEO of UXD Lab and UX/UI Expert, and I unpack one of the most misunderstood questions in 2025: Can AI build better products than we can? The answer? It depends—on you.We explore the truth behind what Fortune 500 companies and successful startups are getting right about how to integrate UX with AI, and why the real differentiator is still something only humans bring to the table: judgment, emotional intelligence, user empathy, and the ability to integrate the customer's voice into your product's vision.From Siemens' AI-powered platform and successfully leveraging UX to bring it to market, to AI tools for UX + UI in product development, we talk about why "an app is not a goal", what the rise of no-code means for your product team, and how to avoid building a feature no one wants—faster than ever before.If you’re a founder, product leader, or UX strategist wondering how to stay ahead without losing your soul in the process—this one’s for you.4 Takeaways:AI gives you speed—but only you can steer. → In a world of instant output, your judgment is key.UX uncovers edge cases, let that be your edge.→ The outliers in your data aren't distractions. They're where breakthrough differentiation begins.User data and AI are not enemies—they're symbiotic. → UX is no longer a “nice to have.” It's the strategy that turns insights into product advantage.You don’t need to code from scratch. But you do need to think from scratch. → AI can scaffold ideas, but creative vision still has to come from you.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to AI + User Centricity01:35 Kristina's Background02:22 AI in Product Development03:12 Authenticity in Product Management04:55 Key Challenges to building a Web3 Product before AI: "Would you have done it the same today with AI?"08:53 AI Applications in Product Development09:52 The Importance of User Research10:08 Prototyping and Testing with AI11:51 The Evolving Role of Product Managers13:30 The Intersection of UX and AI17:05 The Importance of Edge Cases And How To Find Them With UX27:32 The Power of No-Code Tools31:13 Workshops and Final Thoughts Connect with me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helena.arjuna?_t=8oSbtTilPSQ&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenasuter/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?si=g63NToOK45W1CiBI Support the show🎙If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend, DM me to chat on IG, LinkedIn or comment on YouTube or on Spotify in the podcast Q&A section!

She’s reshaping climate leadership in Europe—Lara Obst reveals how success in climate is found by co-creating the business case for sustainability with customers.Lara Obst is the co-founder and Chief Climate Officer of ClimateChoice, a Berlin-based tech company helping companies decarbonize their supply chains. Her team has worked with clients like Lenovo and T-Systems, raised over $2M in funding, and won the Startup Slam at the GreenTech Festival in LA and many others.She explains:– Why 90% of carbon impact often hides in the supply chain—and how that’s where change truly begins.– How the European climate legislation drives corporate climate action, and why European impact leaders are redefining the rules of the game as the U.S. steps back.– The surprising mindset that helps her avoid burnout while leading systemic change.– Why real innovation starts with listening to users—not chasing perfect ideas or political alignment.– How her background in culture, design thinking, and the arts shaped her approach to impact leadership.– The quiet revolution of building resilience in a world where policy may not always lead the way.This episode isn’t just about climate—it’s about how we show up, lead with clarity, and build purpose-driven systems that actually work.00:00 Introduction and Startup Challenges00:51 Welcome to the Podcast01:02 Meet Lara: Climate Choice Co-Founder02:01 The Rollercoaster of Climate Tech02:27 US Politics and European Climate Goals03:58 Inspiration and Early Influences05:59 Innovation and Collaboration in Climate Action10:05 Building Climate Choice: The Founding Story21:48 Balancing Profitability and Sustainability28:47 Personal Habits for Sustainable Leadership31:29 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsConnect with Lara:LinkedinHer climate tech company: ClimateChoice Connect with me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helena.arjuna?_t=8oSbtTilPSQ&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenasuter/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@whereboundariesdissolvepodcast?si=g63NToOK45W1CiBI Support the show🎙If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend, DM me to chat on IG, LinkedIn or comment on YouTube or on Spotify in the podcast Q&A section!
