“The Hardest Person You’ll Ever Lead Is You” (Part 1: Self-Awareness)

Welcome to the start of a powerful new 3-part series on The Leadership Wound — because before you lead anyone else, you must learn to lead yourself. In this episode, Amanda Rohrer unpacks the foundational role of self-awareness in authentic leadership. From understanding your internal compass to noticing blind spots and navigating projection from others, this episode helps you reflect on what it’s really like to be on the other side of your leadership.

You’ll explore:

• Why self-leadership is the most invisible — and most important — form of leadership
• How lack of self-awareness shows up in relationships and team culture
• What feedback to trust, and why not all feedback is a mirror
• How to discern when you're in the wrong seat — and what it takes to realign
• Four practical ways to cultivate daily self-awareness

This episode offers honest reflection, practical tools, and spiritual grounding to help you lead with integrity — from the inside out. It’s also packed with journal prompts and a beautiful reminder: You don’t have to lead like anyone else. You just need to lead like you.

You don’t need a title to be a leader.

And you don’t need to be flawless to influence.

In this empowering episode of The Leadership Wound, we explore what it really means to lead — not from position or perfection, but from presence, influence, and authenticity.

Amanda unpacks the everyday nature of leadership, reminding us that we all lead simply by how we show up. Through deeply personal stories and spiritual insight, she challenges the performance-based model of leadership and offers a fresh vision rooted in love, dignity, and shared humanity.

Together, we’ll explore:

✨ Why every human carries influence — and what it means to steward that well

✨ The importance of normalizing leadership wounds (because we all have them)

✨ What it looks like to lead for others, not over them

✨ How leadership happens at the table — not from a platform

✨ The power of future-focused, soul-aligned decision-making

Whether you’re managing a team, raising a family, or navigating hard conversations with courage — this episode will remind you that your presence is leadership.

You’ve named the wound.

You’ve accepted the pain.

Now comes the hardest — and most transformative — part: tending.

In this final episode of The Leadership Wound Healing Path™ series, we step into the slow, sacred work that turns awareness into wholeness. Tending isn’t about fixing or rushing. It’s about returning — again and again — to care, presence, and healing that reaches your body, your leadership, and your soul.

In this episode, Amanda shares personal reflections from her family garden, explains why so many leaders resist this stage, and offers a path forward that is both grounded and embodied.

Together, we’ll explore:

✨ Why tending is so often skipped — and why it's essential for lasting transformation

✨ How hustle disconnects us from healing and why presence is the pace of wholeness

✨ What embodiment actually means — and how to recognize when you're not living from it

✨ Four practical ways to tend the wound daily:

 • Pause and feel

 • Guard the gate

 • Set gentle boundaries

 • Seek safe reflection

If you’ve been stuck in burnout, chronic disappointment, or performing for approval…

This episode is your invitation to begin tending your leadership wound with care, compassion, and courage.
