The Hidden Cost of Unresolved Grief in Leadership and How it Affects Your Clarity, Confidence, and Connection #312
Hey Friend!
We rarely talk about grief in leadership—but we should. Grief isn’t just about loss through death. It shows up in promotions, career pivots, team shifts, unmet goals, and changes in identity. Whether it’s visible or not, unresolved grief impacts how we lead, how we connect, and how we make decisions. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I walk you through the real, often hidden ways grief can shape (or derail) your leadership—and how facing it might just be your boldest next step.
💬 "If you're feeling numb, reactive, or like you've outgrown your life—but you're not sure why—unresolved grief could be quietly writing the script."

🔑 Key Takeaways:
Grief isn’t just about losing people; it’s also about losing identity, dreams, routine, confidence, and connection.
Leaders often carry unresolved grief that leads to over-functioning, poor decision-making, emotional numbness, or team dysfunction.
Unresolved grief quietly erodes leadership clarity, self-awareness, and authentic connection.Grieving with intention creates wisdom, depth, and presence that transforms your leadership.
You don’t need to unpack everything at once, but naming your grief is the first step toward alignment.
✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ Unprocessed grief impacts every decision you make—even when you don’t realize it.
💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:
Take 15 minutes this week to identify a “quiet grief” you’ve been carrying—a dream, identity, or routine you lost but never acknowledged. Write it down, name it, and consider what wisdom it left behind.
📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection:
What loss (big or small) is still quietly influencing how I lead, show up, or make decisions—and what do I need to release to move forward?
