Leadership is sacred work—but it can also leave wounds. What happens when unaddressed pain begins to shape the way we lead? And how can healing restore not only our souls but also the communities we serve?

In this episode, Alan Fadling is joined by Nicolas Rowe and Sheila Wise-Rowe, authors of Healing Leadership Trauma: Finding Emotional Health and Helping Others Flourish. Together, they offer a wise, grace-filled vision of leadership rooted in wholeness rather than woundedness.

This conversation is an invitation—to slow down, to pay attention to your inner life, and to believe that healing is not only possible but essential to healthy, sustainable leadership.

🎧 Topics we explore:

What leadership trauma actually is—and why it’s often missed
Why expectations can crush leaders, and how to be free of them
How unhurried rhythms and reflection can lead to deep healing
The surprising strength of vulnerability in leadership
How community, not isolation, fosters restoration
Practical steps to begin a healing journey today

Whether you’re feeling weary, burned out, or just ready to lead from a deeper well, this episode is for you.
