Episode Synopsis

Leadership can be inspiring, impactful, and deeply fulfilling, but it can also be incredibly isolating.
In this episode, Juan and Jenna talk about the hidden cost of carrying the weight for others while quietly wondering if anyone sees what you’re carrying. They unpack the silent pressure to appear strong, the fear of being vulnerable as a leader, and the lies leaders often believe about weakness and worth.
Whether you're leading a business, a team, a family, or a community. This conversation is an invitation to be honest with yourself… and to be reminded that you don’t have to hold it all together alone.
In this episode:


Why leadership often feels lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people


The danger of hiding your pain to maintain others’ confidence


How to respond when you feel like you're out of emotional bandwidth


Why naming your ache is the first step toward healing

An honest look at how to stay grounded when the weight of leadership gets heavy
