High-capacity leaders are often shaped by painful experiences — childhood wounds, betrayal, rejection, loss. That pain may have built your resilience, your success, your drive… but what if it's also become a burden you don’t know how to put down?
In this episode, Juan opens up a powerful conversation about how past pain may have formed the leader in you — but it's not meant to define you. It’s time to get honest about the places you’ve been wounded, and begin the work of healing so you can lead from a place of wholeness, not just survival.
You don’t have to keep carrying what once kept you safe. There’s more freedom available than you’ve allowed yourself to believe.

What You’ll Learn:


Why pain can be both a builder and a barrier in leadership


How unhealed trauma shows up in high-functioning leaders


The difference between being formed by pain and led by healing


An invitation to start your healing journey today
