Quote "Connecting with the sound of something or the taste of something to really ground you into the present, helps keep the body online so it hasn't completely gone offline." - Cherini Ghobrial Connect with Cherini Ghobrial: Website: www.cherinighobrial.com unCURATED: www.uncuratedco.com Cherini Ghobrial, PharmD. is a licensed pharmacist, Berkeley Certified Executive Coach, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner (Intermediate level). She has experienced firsthand the physical and emotional challenges that come from living a life as a high achiever, but disconnected from herself. But in 2020, she experienced a physical health crisis that brought her to rock bottom. Her health crisis began her journey of reconnecting to her body, learning to hear her body's wisdom, and developing embodied self-regulation skills. Her goal with her clients is to help them reconnect to the wisdom of their body's intelligence and increase their capacity to regulate their emotions. By doing so, they can experience embodied resilience by remaining present through life's ups and downs, greater aliveness, and restored choice, instead of living overwhelmed, burn-out, and stuck in survival mode.

About the Podcast

Create Magic At Work®
Spiritual Intelligence, Conscious Leadership, and the Future of Work
Create Magic At Work® is a leadership podcast exploring spiritual intelligence, conscious leadership, and the future of work. Through conversations with visionary leaders, coaches, authors, and entrepreneurs, the show examines how leaders can navigate uncertainty, cultivate self awareness, and create workplaces that are both high performing and deeply human.

Many episodes explore themes such as transformational leadership, intuition in decision making, organizational change, and the inner work required to lead well. The show also introduces frameworks rooted in spiritual intelligence, including SQ21, the Archetypes of Change, and the Edgewalker philosophy. These perspectives help listeners understand how people respond to transformation and support leaders in walking the edge into quantum leadership, where business decisions ripple outward for the greater good.

Listeners of Create Magic At Work® are leaders who want to edgewalk rather than sleepwalk through their work and life. They want to bring their full selves into the spaces they inhabit, including their spirituality from a faith neutral lens. Many are founders, coaches, and professionals seeking deeper meaning in their work and lives.

If you care about leadership that blends strategy, spiritual intelligence, and the courage to walk the edge during times of change, you're in the right place.
