Welcome to the kickoff episode of 'The Rebound Code,' a five-part series by Creeltalk dedicated to accountability, recovery, and leading with integrity after a misstep. In this episode, we delve into the destructive power of the shame spiral that follows when we fail to meet our commitments. Learn about the psychological battle of self-image dissonance, the paradox of ghosting our accountability partners, and how to break the cycle. We discuss the importance of consistency over perfection and how truth and resilience build stronger leadership and community trust. Join us as we explore strategies to return boldly and rebuild momentum with intention.
