Dismantling Racism and Rediscovering Consciousness Amber Ontiveros
What if you could completely redefine the way you think about racism, leadership, and personal growth? In this episode, I, Erin Patten—a Harvard MBA, metaphysical business coach, and motivational speaker—join forces with Amber to challenge societal constructs and dive deep into the truths of consciousness. Together, we unpack the complex connections between identity, spirituality, and leadership, offering a fresh perspective on personal and professional transformation.
My Take on Racism: A Personal and Spiritual Journey
Racism is often framed as an external societal problem, but I believe it’s more than that—it’s deeply personal and spiritual. In this conversation, Amber and I explore how recognizing that “you are not your body” can free you from the limiting beliefs tied to physical identity. This perspective invites you to step outside societal narratives and see race as a construct that we have the power to redefine within ourselves.
Amber shares her incredible journey, including a near-death experience that completely shifted her perspective on life, identity, and purpose. Her story inspires me, and I know it will inspire you, too. Through her experiences, she shows how embracing metaphysical truths can help us confront biases, dismantle internalized racism, and lead with authenticity and courage.
Redefining Leadership from a Metaphysical Perspective
When most people think of leadership, they think about power, decisions, and results. But I see leadership as something much deeper. For me, true leadership begins with inner alignment. Amber and I discuss how understanding and connecting with what I call “I Am Consciousness” can transform the way we lead.
“I Am Consciousness” is a practice that shifts your focus inward, grounding your leadership in authenticity and purpose. When you operate from this space, you create environments that inspire trust, inclusion, and innovation. I’ve seen this shift not only in my own leadership journey but also in the leaders I’ve coached. If you’re seeking personal growth or working toward leadership development, this is a concept you’ll want to embrace.
Rewiring the Brain: The Power of Neuroplasticity
One of the most exciting parts of our conversation is about neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself. I’ve always been fascinated by how we can change our thought patterns and break free from biases through practices like mindfulness, meditation, and affirmations. Amber and I dive into how these tools can help you reshape your mindset, build resilience, and overcome limiting beliefs.
For me, neuroplasticity is a game-changer in both personal and leadership development. It’s proof that we’re never stuck and that change is always possible. When you make small, intentional shifts in how you think, you open yourself up to new possibilities—not just for yourself but for the teams and communities you lead.
Aligning Personal Growth with Professional Success
As someone who works with leaders from all walks of life, I know how important it is to align your personal and professional lives. This is a topic that Amber and I explore deeply in this episode. Success isn’t just about climbing the corporate ladder or achieving external milestones—it’s about living in alignment with your true self and purpose.
Amber’s story is such a powerful example of this. Her near-death experience didn’t just change her personal outlook; it completely transformed how she shows up as a leader. Listening to her, I was reminded of the importance of weaving spiritual practices into our professional lives to create meaningful, lasting impact.
