Hot Habits with Dr Tamsin
The habits that shape your leadership don't start in the boardroom. They start in your body. Hot Habits with Dr. Tamsin is a podcast for founders and leaders who know that how you show up is the culture. Each episode, neuroscientist and coach Dr. Tamsin Astor sits down with leaders who do the inner work: the ones who build rituals that protect their peace, lead through presence instead of pressure, and refuse to trade their humanity for productivity. Together, they get honest about the habits that quietly run your leadership, your relationships, and your life, and the ones worth redesigning from the inside out. No theory. No hustle culture. Just real conversations about what it takes to lead in a way that actually sustains you. This is Conscious Leadership in Action. New episodes drop seasonally on Wednesdays.
