“You can only lead as far as you’ve healed, because until you start to recognize that, you will perpetuate the same mistakes that got you there before, either yourself or the leader that you were under. And that’s why the healing part is so important, because it comes up again and you’re like, okay, wait, this is what this is.”
During COVID we realized that people wanted to have certain services and things basically in their home, but you couldn’t find an avenue where you could find a one stop shop that had everything offered and these people would actually show up.
“All of a sudden, it’s cold. I’m cold and I’m wet and. But my windows weren’t open. I’m like, oh, my gosh, this is not a drill.”
“And when you get into that routine of making sure everybody else is okay and you’re not filling your own cup, then you’re empty. And I think at that point, if it goes on for too long, that’s where silencing happens naturally, where you have no words for yourself because you’ve given it to everyone else.”
The first thing I would say, and maybe the only thing is be curious, ask questions, don’t be afraid to ask a question. And if you’re thinking about it, write it down so you’ll remember it in the future.
