🎧 Episode 7 — The Healing Work of Leadership: Part 3 Accepting the Wound

So many leaders carry hidden wounds.

Wounds they’ve denied, rushed past, or justified away — because facing them felt too heavy, too vulnerable, or too painful.

Maybe that’s you.

Maybe you’ve told yourself, "I should be over this by now."

Or maybe you’ve been stuck replaying what should have been — while life and leadership quietly lose their joy and clarity.

Here’s the hard truth: Acceptance is often the hardest and most misunderstood step in healing.

But without it, wounds can’t fully heal. They continue to shape how we live, lead, and love — often from the shadows.

In this honest and tender episode, we explore:

✨ Why running from or rushing through your pain is costing you more than you realize

✨ How acceptance shifts us from victimhood to wisdom

✨ The difference between wounds and scars — and why scars don’t mean you lost, they mean you healed

✨ What Jesus' scars teach us about rewriting the story of our pain

✨ How acceptance frees you to stop pretending, start releasing, and begin leading from wholeness

If you’re tired of being defined by your leadership wounds...

If you’re ready to stop performing and start leading with strength, clarity, and purpose…

This episode is your invitation to begin.
