Why does silence sting so deeply? Why does it feel like rejection, invisibility, or failure when no one responds to your leadership efforts? In this episode of The Leadership Wound, we move from awareness into impact — uncovering the real cost of looking outside yourself for validation.Through a personal story and fresh neuroscience insights, you’ll see how quickly leadership can shift from authenticity into performance, and why silence often shapes us more than applause. But silence can also become a teacher — inviting you to stop hiding, step into freedom, and lead from your true self.Highlights from this episode:- Why acknowledgment feels good — and why we’re trained to depend on it.- A vulnerable story of shrinking back and performing for approval.- The cost of external validation: exhaustion, anxiety, and loss of joy.- How silence can teach us to anchor in truth instead of applause.If this resonates with you, don’t wait. Stop hiding your true self behind the mask of seeking validation. Come out of hiding.
