The Mike Method EP83 From Self Awareness to Stronger Leadership with Jennifer K. Hill
At some point in life, many of us have a moment of uncomfortable clarity. The realization that the way we are showing up is hurting others and ourselves. This conversation begins right there.
Jennifer K. Hill opens up about the origin story behind her book The Recovering Asshole and the pivotal moment at 23 when someone finally reflected her behavior back to her in a way she could not ignore. That moment became the start of a 21 year journey of transformation.
An entrepreneur, evolutionary leader, author, and speaker, Jennifer built and sold her first company by 38 and later went on to host Regarding Consciousness, where she has interviewed voices like Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton. Today, she is the co-founder of Opt2Match and OM.app, helping leaders build high trust relationships while coaching CEOs on alignment, retention, and productivity.
This episode is not about success in the traditional sense. It is about what happens when the inner critic runs the show, how self betrayal often hides behind the need to belong, and why being harsh with others usually begins with being harsh toward ourselves.
Mike and Jennifer explore honest feedback, daily practices for real change, inner child work, spiritual discipline, and Jennifer’s Anti Asshole Prayer. At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful truth. The people you keep close shape your life and leadership more than you may realize.
