Ep 260 A 20-Foot Fall That Revealed 3 Ego Patterns Sabotaging Leaders

She had the apartment, the travel, the income, the friends — everything that should've meant she'd "made it." Then she fell 20 feet and everything stopped.Christie Garcia is a leadership coach, Forbes Coaches Council contributor, founder of the Mindful Choice Leadership Academy, and author of Your Ego Is Showing.In this episode, she and host Tyler Dickerhoof, unpack the three ego types — the Complier, the Protector, and the Controller — and why every single one of them is just insecurity wearing a costume.They get into why "self-awareness" isn't the same as ownership, why high achievers are often the most insecure people in the room, and why your ego thrives in the climb but sabotages you the moment you become a leader, a parent, or a partner.Christie also shares the framework she now uses to help executives — and her own kids — recognize when their ego is driving instead of them.If you've ever wondered why success didn't fix the thing you thought it would, this conversation will hit close to home.Connect with Christie at: mindfulchoiceacademy.comOn LinkedIn: @ChristieGarciaIf this episode brought value into your life, a rating and review helps more people find conversations like this one.
