Projecting . And underneath the surface, you can feel something deeper trying to get your attention.In this episode, I share a real story about when I hit that point — too depleted to show up, too aware to numb out.It became a masterclass in what self-leadership actually looks like when you’re in it: messy, emotional, and human.You’ll hear me unpack:How emotional reactivity and exhaustion are signals, not failuresWhat happens in the nervous system when you’ve been holding too much for too longHow I traced a trigger back to an old belief: “I’m not worth the effort”The exact steps I took to move from shutdown into self-compassion and repairWhy self-leadership isn’t about control or calm — it’s about staying present with what’s realIf you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed, reactive, or on the edge of burnout, this episode will remind you: you don’t have to fix yourself — you just have to stay with yourself.Because true self-leadership isn’t about being unshakeable… it’s about learning to lead yourself gently when you are.If you’re ready to start your journey, here’s where you can begin: Steady: ($27) — 7 days of nervous system practices to help you get quick wins and feel grounded fast.
