Who is leading your home?

# Who Is Leading Your Household? ### Rooted Resilience Podcast with Wendy Golden In this episode of Rooted Resilience, Wendy explores what leadership really looks like inside our homes. Leadership isn't about titles, power, or being the loudest voice in the room—it's about influence, character, and the example we set every day. Through personal stories, reflections on marriage, parenting, faith, and self-awareness, Wendy challenges listeners to consider a powerful question: **What is it like to live on the other side of me?** Whether you're a spouse, parent, caregiver, leader, or simply someone striving to grow, this episode invites you to examine the culture you're creating within your home and relationships. ### In This Episode: * The difference between leadership and control * Why humility is a strength, not a weakness * How pride can damage relationships * The influence parents have on their children * Lessons learned through marriage, growth, and faith * The importance of self-awareness in healthy relationships * Why leadership begins with how we treat those closest to us * What it means to lead through service, compassion, and love ### Key Takeaway: Every household is being led by something. Is your home being led by peace or fear? Grace or criticism? Humility or pride? Faith or frustration? The culture of a home is built one conversation, one choice, and one act of leadership at a time. ### Reflection Questions: * What is it like to live on the other side of me? * What is it like to be loved by me? * What is it like to work with me? * What is it like to be my spouse or my child? * If someone walked into my home today, what would they say is leading it? ### Scripture Reflection: "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." — Mark 10:43 ### Connect with Willow & Oak Resilient Wellness: Website: willowandoakresilientwellness.com Email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ### Enjoying the Podcast?
