Surviving Estrangement
from Leaders Lead Even When It Hurts · host Tony Taylor
I have watched estrangement hit like a full-body shock, not just a sad season. I have felt that disbelief where it seems like I am in the twilight zone, replaying every conversation, asking what I did, and getting nothing but silence back. In this conversation, I sit with Nancy McCartney as she explains why estrangement feels so cruel, why rumination starts, and how walking on eggshells trains the nervous system to stay on high alert. I keep coming back to one truth that changed how I move through this: awareness is the first act of liberation. You will leave with a clearer way to stop the loop and start moving again.Subscribe to Leaders Lead and leave a 5 star review.
