Can you be an imperfect leader without being a messy one? What does it mean to hold your humanity and your leadership at the same time? This is a sticky topic and one that my clients need to hear about often because, let's face it: we all mess up. In today's episode, I am diving into how our trauma responses affect our roles as leaders. We hear it all the time, "there's no such thing as perfection," but how do we accept that in our own leadership and still do our best work? Let's find out!

I'm exploring:

• The 3 steps you can take to come out of trauma and back into leadership
• How to notice your patterns when it comes to trauma responses
• Where we fall on the compassion and truth scale: internally vs. what we show others
• The 4 major trauma responses and how they manifest themselves in our leadership practices
• What to do when the "what-ifs" overwhelm you
• Getting back on track when our best self doesn't show up
• How to keep showing up as leaders, knowing there will be times we mess it up
• If we really need to take care of ourselves first before taking care of others
