TIL 9/40 My Compass: Scars, Story, Steadfastness

from RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines Hosted by Krista Phoenix Fee

🎙️ New Episode Announcement Every leader has a compass. But for many of us, that compass isn’t abstract—it’s etched into our very scars. In Episode 9, I open up more personally than ever before. As the throwaway daughter of a victim of human trafficking, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and someone who has lived through domestic violence, my compass was forged in fire. Those scars don’t define me, but they anchor me. They remind me why integrity matters, why healing matters, and why leadership without compassion is hollow. This episode is about more than my story—it’s about yours. It’s about understanding that your scars can be part of your compass too. Trauma-informed leadership doesn’t deny pain; it transforms it into direction. If you’ve ever wondered how your own story—especially the broken parts—can shape your leadership, this conversation will speak directly to you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass
