2| Strong Leaders Grieve Too Pt. 1

Most leaders carry unspoken grief that quietly undermines their strength—and often, they don’t even realize it.

She breaks down the biblical pattern of brokenness leading to new purpose, illustrating that your greatest development often begins after a season of deep breaking.You'll explore the five-stage process of breaking—surrender, sanctification, wilderness, restoration, and commissioning—using her personal story as a blueprint for your own transformation.
