In this episode of Back to Me, Keith explores a difficult truth that many people have experienced but rarely talk about openly: what happens when power is handed to someone who never healed. This conversation looks at leaders who look impressive on paper… but lead from insecurity, unprocessed childhood conditioning, ego, and control instead of empathy, humility, and emotional intelligence.
This episode reflects on how unhealed leaders sabotage trust, damage teams, manipulate environments, divide people, take credit from others, and confuse dominance with strength. It also speaks to the people who have had to work under them, reminding them that they were never weak for struggling. They were simply navigating someone else’s unresolved pain while still trying to do their job.
And if you are a leader listening, this episode is also an invitation. Not to feel attacked, but to reflect. To heal. To do better. Because leadership is not about power. It is about responsibility, humanity, and growth.
If you have ever worked in a toxic environment
If you have ever felt unseen or minimized by someone in charge
If you believe leadership should build people, not break them
This episode is for you.
