Ep. 8 Leading Through Fire Pt. 2

Leading Through Fire (Part Two)What do you do when the emails stop, but your body is still bracing for impact?In this episode, I talk about the quiet, often invisible work of healing after professional violence. I share what I lost—my ability to listen to music, to write poetry, to feel like myself—and how I slowly gave myself permission to rest, retreat, and return.I speak honestly about what it means when your artistry is used against you, when your vision is framed as a liability, and when the systems you trusted to hold you instead tear you apart.But this episode is also about what begins again.The music that comes back.The poem that finds you.The moment you realize you don’t have to prove your resilience to anyone—not anymore.This is for the leaders who feel broken open.For the artists who can’t access their art.For anyone who needs to hear: you are still whole. You are still here. Ready to begin your healing?I offer tools, support, and community to help leaders reclaim their clarity, artistry, and joy.🌱 Explore offerings or join the Jumpstart MembershipYou deserve more than survival.You deserve your full self.
