🎙️ Episode Title:Emotional Constipation: A Leadership Epidemic

📝 Show Notes:

What if the real reason you feel disconnected—from your team, your partner, your life—has nothing to do with your workload… and everything to do with your emotional backlog?

In this episode, we’re talking about Emotional Capacity—what it is, why most of us were never taught how to build it, and how the lack of it quietly erodes our leadership, relationships, and sense of self.

You’ll learn:

Why emotions are actually data, not drama

How emotional suppression burns more energy than you think

What it means to “feel more to burn out less”

Three small (but powerful) steps to rebuild your Emotional Capacity

And how to finally stop performing leadership and start feeling your way forward

This isn’t about getting weepy in board meetings. It’s about reclaiming your inner guidance system so you can lead with clarity, connection, and self-trust.

💡 One-liner to remember:You can’t connect with others if you’re hoarding unprocessed emotions like a leadership hoarder.
