Listen "65. Why great leaders don't turn away when truth gets uncomfortable"
Episode Synopsis
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and systemic inequities. In this episode, I explore how conscious leaders can navigate and transform the collective darkness being revealed in our world today. From high-profile legal cases to social justice movements, we're witnessing what mystics call "the dark night of the collective soul" - and as leaders, we have a choice in how we respond. You'll discover: The true meaning of collective shadow work and its roots in Carl Jung's psychology How current events serve as mirrors for personal leadership development Why successful leaders often become targets and how to navigate unfair treatment The danger of polarization and the power of holding nuanced perspectives Real examples from Black Lives Matter, MeToo, and high-profile cases like Diddy and the hockey sexual assault trial How to examine your own relationship with power, control, and privilege Why spiritual bypassing is dangerous for leaders and how to avoid it The importance of developing inner discernment in an age of media manipulation How to transform collective darkness into wisdom, compassion, and conscious action Key insights explored: The collapse of trust in legacy media institutions and what it means for leadership How rapid success can trigger shadow experiences and the importance of integration Why mature leaders must hold multiple truths simultaneously The difference between acknowledging darkness and being consumed by it How your business and leadership serve as vehicles for soul-level shadow work This episode is part of our exploration into New Earth leadership - moving beyond old power and control systems toward conscious, integrated leadership that can hold both light and dark with equal compassion. 📱 STAY CONNECTED: Website: www.wisdomportal.ca LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jennie-ward-16777234/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewisdomportal/ Email: [email protected] Ready to transform?
