Let’s be honest: Feedback can feel like a punch to the gut — not because it’s wrong, but because we’ve been taught to equate feedback with failure, and failure with identity.

💥 In this episode, Amanda shares a deeply personal moment that revealed a hidden leadership pattern — and how feedback, when filtered through truth, can lead to deep transformation.

Here’s what we explore:

• Why feedback feels threatening — and how to reframe it

• The real reason leaders avoid feedback (and what it costs us)

• How projection shows up and distorts truth

• The 3 internal stories we tell ourselves to avoid vulnerability

• What it looks like to receive feedback as information, not identity

• How to use discernment + self-awareness as a feedback filter

✨ The truth?

Feedback and vulnerability don’t have to be enemies anymore.

They can be growth.

They can be sacred ground.

They can be the start of your next breakthrough.
