Hello everyone, I’m Mollie Rogers and this is the Emotional Inclusion podcast. In my one and a half decade long career in the fashion industry and through listening to hundreds of stories of people who have navigated work whilst facing the ‘perfect storm’ on a personal level, I realized the urgent need to advocate a safe platform in the business world where, with a trained professional onboard, emotions could be heard, recognized and dealt with, for an enhanced business productivity. Building a better corporate ecosystem starts here.
In the 21st century world in which we live in, companies are still forgetting that the emotional health of our employees is the very foundation of their success. What are we doing to reintegrate our employees into the workforce when they are experiencing hardships? Why are we still not taking care of our employees when we know that they are our greatest asset? Please join me in sharing conversations with leaders, culture changers, creatives, founders and CEO’s, scientists and doctors, in breaking down archaic corporate stereotypes and building a mindset and culture of Emotional Inclusion in the workforce.
Emotions Power Performance: Neuroscience with Paul Rochon
In this episode of the Emotional Inclusion Podcast, Mollie Rogers sits down with cognitive neuroscientist and sleep expert Dr. Paul Rochon to explore how emotions, biology, and the nervous system directly shape performance, engagement, and wellbeing at work. Paul explains why wellbeing is a hard skill, not a soft one, how psychological safety unlocks cognitive flexibility and motivation, and why poor sleep, chronic threat, and emotional dysregulation quietly drive burnout and presenteeism. Drawing on neuroscience, workplace data, and real-world case studies, this conversation offers practical, science-backed insights for building healthier, more human-centered workplaces.

Quotes from the show:
“Taking care of our mental health is, it’s a verb. It’s not a noun. It's dynamic and it’s changing. And so this idea of emotional inclusion that you’ve put forward, I think is one that’s really powerful because it means it’s an invitation.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
“We have this false dichotomy that what’s good for business is not good for mental health and what’s good for mental health is not good for business. And that’s just flat out wrong. Data is overwhelmingly clear that when we take care of our people, when you take care of people’s mental health and wellbeing, it’s good for the people, it’s good for their teams, it’s good for their families, it’s good for the community, it’s good for the workplace.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
“Mental health and wellbeing and focusing on these issues in the workplace, you have to continuously demonstrate that it matters. You have to prove and continue to promote buy-in within the organizations. So you need to be able to demonstrate that what you’re doing is having an impact on what you’re aiming to impact.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
“Emotional intelligence is all about knowing how to navigate our emotions and the emotions of the people we interact with. Whilst emotional inclusion on the other hand, puts emotional intelligence into action.” - Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
“Inclusion is a verb and being inclusive of each other’s emotional realm, as you and I are so aligned with, is something that we need to do.” - Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
“Nothing will replace who we are as human beings but how AI can bring in additional insights and broaden our perspectives based on the humanity that resides within all of us is going to be fascinating.” - Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
“Emotional intelligence versus emotional inclusion, it’s one thing for leaders to know, it’s another for leaders to do. And leaders are really building capacity around mental health and wellbeing at the most progressive organizations.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
