Breaking the Cycle: Why Ignoring Your Trauma Is Sabotaging Your Team

Your unresolved trauma isn't just affecting you—it's impacting everyone you lead. When you're leading from a triggered state, your team feels it.

This is why trauma-informed leadership isn't just personal development—it's organizational necessity. The most powerful thing you can do for your organization isn't implement another wellness initiative. It's do your own trauma work."
