The Thoughtful Entrepreneur 2321 - The Journey from Anxiety to Empowerment with BeyondEQ International's Aasha LaCount
Beyond Emotional Intelligence: Aasha LaCount’s Transformative Approach to Healing, Growth, and Leadership
In this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Aasha LaCount, CEO of BeyondEQ International, to discuss how emotional intelligence can be used as a gateway to deep healing and authentic leadership. Aasha shares her personal journey from anxiety and illness to empowerment through energy work, movement, and emotional awareness. She offers listeners a new lens on personal development—one that integrates mind, body, and energy for lasting transformation.
Redefining Emotional Intelligence for Modern Leaders
Aasha believes emotional intelligence (EQ) goes far beyond self-awareness and empathy—it’s about understanding the energy beneath your emotions and learning to regulate it. By combining neuroscience, energy healing, and authentic self-expression, she helps individuals break free from old narratives that drive stress and disconnection. Her approach blends science and spirituality, empowering clients to feel their emotions fully without being controlled by them.
She also introduces the importance of fun and play as tools for healing and leadership. Through activities like roller skating and dance, Aasha encourages leaders to reconnect with their inner joy, creativity, and authenticity. Fun, she says, isn’t frivolous—it’s essential for balance, innovation, and genuine connection.
Ultimately, Aasha challenges leaders to embrace sovereignty—owning their truth while allowing others the same freedom. By releasing control, healing core wounds, and prioritizing authentic expression, individuals can achieve both emotional mastery and sustainable success. Her framework transforms EQ from a corporate skillset into a lifestyle of self-awareness, vitality, and purpose.
