Description: Every leader carries a story about who they are and how they lead—but is your story empowering you or quietly holding you back? In this episode of the Back 2 Lead series, Christina unpacks how the stories we tell ourselves shape our mindsets, habits, and leadership impact. You’ll learn why old narratives can create burnout, how to spot the ones limiting your growth, and a simple framework Christina uses in her practice to help you reframe your story and realign with the leader you want to become.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

• • Why leadership is about story as much as strategy
  • How hidden narratives shape your systems and culture
  • A 3-step framework to reset your leadership story this week
  • How shifting your story creates space for new results

  
  

  Whether you’re leading a school, team, or organization, this episode will help you refine—not restart—your leadership journey.
