TIL 9/40 My Compass: Scars, Story, Steadfastness


Listen Later

🎙️ New Episode Announcement

Every leader has a compass. But for many of us, that compass isn’t

abstract—it’s etched into our very scars.

In Episode 9, I open up more personally than ever before. As the

throwaway daughter of a victim of human trafficking, a survivor of childhood
sexual abuse, and someone who has lived through domestic violence, my compass was forged in fire. Those scars don’t define me, but they anchor me. They remind me why integrity matters, why healing matters, and why leadership without compassion is hollow.

This episode is about more than my story—it’s about yours. It’s about

understanding that your scars can be part of your compass too. Trauma-informed leadership doesn’t deny pain; it transforms it into direction.

If you’ve ever wondered how your own story—especially the broken

parts—can shape your leadership, this conversation will speak directly to you.
