RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines
TIL 12/40 When Leaders Drift The Cost of Compromise
🎙️ New Episode Announcement How do we hold nuance without losing fairness? How do we honor complexity without abandoning responsibility? In Episode 12, we wrestle with one of the hardest questions in leadership: when leaders make discretionary decisions that cause harm, how should they be held accountable? We’ll explore the balance between empathy and justice, the importance of separating intent from impact, and why trauma-informed leadership doesn’t mean excusing failure—but does mean handling failure with dignity and clarity. With real-world stories from crisis response, politics, and organizational leadership, this episode pushes us to consider what accountability looks like when lives, trust, and futures are on the line. This is a must-listen for anyone responsible for making hard calls—andfor anyone who has lived through the fallout of leaders who got it wrong. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 11/40 Systems and Scars: The DNA of Trauma Informed Leadership
🎙️ New Episode Announcement What do organizations and human beings have in common? Both can carry trauma. Both can repeat harmful patterns. Both can heal. Episode 11 explores how the principles of trauma-informed care apply not only to individuals but also to organizations and systems. We look at how toxic workplace behaviors mirror addictive behaviors, how burnout spreads like contagion, and how leaders can embed new habits that actually rewire culture. By treating unhealthy systems as diseases that can be healed rather than failures to be punished, trauma-informed leaders create environments where trust, dignity, and resilience become the norm. If you’ve ever seen a toxic workplace poison good people—or wondered how to turn an organization around without losing its mission—this episode offers a framework for real, lasting change. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 10/40 The Crisis of Leadership Identity
🎙️ New Episode Announcement Every leader follows a compass—but not every compass leads to truth. In Episode 10, we dig into the idea of false north stars—the values, metrics, or ambitions that can look like guidance but actually lead us astray. Whether it’s the lure of profit over people, popularity over integrity, or ideology over humanity, leaders who follow false stars often take their communities into dangerous waters. We’ll explore how trauma-informed leadership helps us recognize when our compass is misaligned, how to recalibrate in real time, and how to ensure our direction remains tethered to core values rather than shifting winds. This is a wake-up call for every leader who wants to avoid drifting into compromise, and a roadmap for staying grounded in what truly matters. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 9/40 My Compass: Scars, Story, Steadfastness
🎙️ New Episode Announcement Every leader has a compass. But for many of us, that compass isn’t abstract—it’s etched into our very scars. In Episode 9, I open up more personally than ever before. As the throwaway daughter of a victim of human trafficking, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and someone who has lived through domestic violence, my compass was forged in fire. Those scars don’t define me, but they anchor me. They remind me why integrity matters, why healing matters, and why leadership without compassion is hollow. This episode is about more than my story—it’s about yours. It’s about understanding that your scars can be part of your compass too. Trauma-informed leadership doesn’t deny pain; it transforms it into direction. If you’ve ever wondered how your own story—especially the broken parts—can shape your leadership, this conversation will speak directly to you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

Social media turned the word into the new “toxic,” and while it can feel good to slap that label on someone who hurt you… 👉 Labels don’t heal you. Accountability does. In this first episode of the new Narcissism Series inside RISEUP Relationship Reset™, I’m diving deep into: ✨ The difference between narcissistic traits vs. true Narcissistic Personality Disorder ✨ Why our nervous system often confuses survival patterns with personality disorders ✨ How labeling others can keep us stuck in victim mode (and off the hook for our own growth) ✨ Tools from neuroscience, Internal Family Systems, EFT, and NLP to help you notice patterns and shift toward accountability ✨ The one question to keep you grounded: WIN – What’s Important Now? 💡 Your seed to notice this week: Where am I using labels instead of taking back my power? 🎙️ Listen now on RISEUP Voices From the Frontlines.

TIL 8/40 Blind Spots That Break Leaders: When Fire Consumes: The Shadow Side of Leadership
New Episode Announcement Fire can warm. Fire can illuminate. But fire can also consume everything in its path. In Episode 8, we face the shadow side of leadership—when passion turns destructive, when charisma becomes manipulation, when movements burn too hot and leave nothing but ashes. We’ll walk through examples of leaders in history and today whose unchecked intensity fueled destruction instead of transformation. We’ll look at how trauma can feed this fire, and how unhealed wounds in leaders often spill out as control, rage, or reckless ambition. But this isn’t just about cautionary tales—it’s about naming the danger so we can choose differently. A trauma-informed leader recognizes the risk of consumption, and learns to hold fire as both sacred and dangerous: powerful when tended, devastating when unleashed without boundaries. This episode is both a warning and an invitation—to tend your own fire wisely, to guard your community from destructive flames, and to ensure the light you carry never becomes the inferno that destroys. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 7/40 Self Awareness The First Compass Point
🎙️ New Episode Announcement What happens when two leaders, two communities, or even two people you love hold values that seem completely opposed? A Muslim and a Christian. A Democrat and a Republican. A parent and a child. In Episode 7, we step into one of the hardest realities of leadership: navigating diametrically opposed viewpoints without losing fairness, dignity, or integrity. You’ll hear how trauma-informed leadership changes the way we approach disagreement. Instead of collapsing into “us vs. them,” we look at how to hold space for complexity, practice curiosity without compromising conviction, and preserve nuance in a world that demands oversimplification. We’ll also explore real-world stories where leaders either bridged divides—or burned bridges beyond repair. And we’ll ask: what happens when leaders’ decisions in these moments ripple far beyond the room, shaping communities, movements, even nations? If you’re tired of the polarization tearing families, schools, workplaces, and governments apart, this is a conversation you need to hear. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 6/40 False North Stars, When Values Go Wrong
🎙️ New Episode Announcement Not every compass points to truth. Some leaders build entire movements around false North Stars—visions rooted in ego, greed, domination, or fear. And the results can be devastating. In Episode 6, we tackle this difficult but necessary topic. How do leaders discern between a true North Star that fuels integrity and healing, and a false one that leads to exploitation or harm? We’ll examine historical cautionary tales, modern examples, and the subtle ways leaders can lose sight of their values without even realizing it. Trauma-informed leadership gives us unique insight here. Leaders carrying unexamined wounds may chase power instead of purpose, recognition instead of responsibility. This episode helps us name those distortions—and more importantly, offers tools to return to integrity when we realize our compass has drifted. If you’re serious about leading with impact, this is one you cannot afford to miss. It may challenge you, it may unsettle you, but it will equip you to recognize the difference between leadership that heals and leadership that harms. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 5/40 The Compass-Defining Your North Star
🎙️ New Episode Announcement Without a compass, even the strongest leader drifts. Without a North Star, even the most passionate movement loses its way. In Episode 5, we explore the essential practice of defining your North Star—the core values and guiding principles that shape every decision, every strategy, and every sacrifice. I’ll walk you through why this matters not just in theory, but in practice: leaders without a clear compass often become reactive, swayed by pressure, money, or public opinion. Those with a compass? They stay the course, even when storms rage. We’ll also explore the trauma-informed angle here: how unresolved wounds can distort our compass, how clarity of values provides both healing and direction, and how leaders can ensure their compass points toward integrity rather than ego. This is a must-listen for anyone who feels pulled in a hundred directions, unsure of which battles are worth fighting. By the end, you’ll not only understand the power of a North Star—you’ll know how to define yours. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 4/40 Movement Based Leadership
🎙️ New Episode Announcement What makes a movement last? It isn’t charisma alone. It isn’t money. It isn’t even strategy. It’s the kind of leadership that ignites conviction and multiplies courage. In Episode 4, we dive into what I call movement-based leadership—leadership that goes beyond transactions and titles to ignite something deeper. We’ll look at the difference between traditional leadership models—transactional, transformational, authoritarian—and leadership that fuels movements grounded in moral clarity, shared vision, and lived example. You’ll hear stories of historical and modern leaders who didn’t just lead organizations, they sparked revolutions—whether social, cultural, or spiritual. We’ll also unpack why trauma-informed leadership is uniquely suited to this kind of work: because when you’ve known brokenness, you understand the kind of healing and fire that can carry people forward. If you’ve ever wondered how to inspire people not just to follow you, but to fight for the cause alongside you, this episode is your roadmap. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 3/40 Trauma And The Human Condition
🎙️ New Episode Announcement Trauma isn’t just what happens in war zones or crisis situations—it’s in classrooms, workplaces, homes, and even organizations. It shapes how people think, how they respond under stress, and how they relate to leaders. In Episode 3, we dive deep into the human condition and the way trauma impacts individuals and communities. I’ll walk you through what neuroscience tells us about the nervous system, why trauma narrows perspective and isolates people, and how leaders can either compound the damage—or become powerful agents of healing. This is the foundation of trauma-informed leadership: the recognition that every decision, every interaction, every word you speak can either trigger old wounds or create space for resilience. For leaders who want to make a lasting difference, this is not optional knowledge—it’s mission-critical. If you’re a school administrator, nonprofit director, CEO, or simply someone who leads in your family, this episode will give you tools to understand the weight of trauma and the hope of healing in the way you lead. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 2/40 Leadership More Than a Word We Toss Around
🎙️ New Episode Announcement “Leader.” We throw the word around every day—in offices, in politics, in nonprofits, even in families. But what does it actually mean? In Episode 2, we strip leadership back to its core. Titles don’t make you a leader. Positions don’t make you a leader. Leadership is about responsibility—carrying weight for others, setting direction when no one else will, and making choices that ripple through people’s lives. I’ll unpack the difference between positional leadership and true, trauma-informed leadership—leadership that doesn’t dominate but serves, that doesn’t wound but heals. We’ll look at why the culture of leadership has become so diluted, and how we can reclaim a model that restores trust, integrity, and hope in the places we serve. If you’ve ever sat in a meeting and thought, “How did this person get called a leader?”—this episode will give you clarity on what real leadership is and how to embody it yourself. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

TIL 1/40 Leadership as Responsibility Not Position
🎙️ New Episode Announcement Picking up the bloody microphone Leadership today is not casual. It is not a title, or a stage, or a social media badge—it is a weight. In this very first episode of the Trauma-Informed Leadership Series, I share what it really means to pick up the bloody microphone: to speak when it costs you something, to stand when others sit, and to understand that leadership isn’t about privilege, it’s about responsibility. We’ll explore why silence is no longer an option in the world we live in, and why leadership—true leadership—demands trauma-informed awareness. I’ll take you through the foundations of this entire series: why neuroscience, psychology, and lived human experience must shape how we lead if we want to create movements that last. This episode sets the stage for everything that follows. If you’ve ever felt the burden of leadership pressing down on you, if you’ve ever wondered whether you can carry it without losing yourself, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass

🚨BONUS EPISODE RELEASE! 🚨 Before we dive into the full Trauma-Informed Leadership Series, I want to invite you into the heart of what this is all about: 👉What is trauma-informed leadership? 👉Why does it matter to everyone—from government officials and organizational leaders to CEOs, school administrators, parents, partners, and even the way we lead ourselves? 👉And how can this framework transform not just how we lead, but how we live? In this Pre-Series Episode, I lay out the foundation: ✨Why leadership today cannot afford to ignore trauma. ✨How neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience prove that unresolved wounds shape systems, and leaders have the power to either replicate harm or model healing. ✨Modern examples of what happens when leaders embody steadiness, compassion, and accountability—and the devastation when they don’t. ✨Why every one of us is a leader somewhere (at home, at work, in our communities), and how trauma-informed principles can change the outcomes for those who depend on us most. 🎧Listen now and join me for this special episode: 👉Spotify Podcast Link And here’s what makes this even more powerful: the Trauma-Informed Leadership Training & Course is now available, complete with IACET CEUs for professionals.

In the. Wake of Charlie Kirk's Assassination: Unbroken Voices
Title: 🎙️ Unbroken Voices: In the Wake of Charlie Kirk’s Assassination This week’s episode is different. It’s heavier. It’s raw. And it’s necessary. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking on stage at Utah Valley University. No matter where you stand politically, the fact remains: a man was killed for using his voice. For standing in conviction. For refusing to bow to the cultural demand for silence. As someone who also takes the stage—speaking out against human trafficking, the abuse of children, the exploitation of women, his death hit me hard. Because it’s not just about politics. It’s about courage, conviction, and the cost of refusing to stay silent in the face of hatred and fear. In this episode, I wrestle with the hard questions: Was his “sin” his politics? His skill in debate? Or was it, more likely, his unshakable faith? What does his assassination mean for those of us still willing to speak truth into dark places? How do we respond—not with silence, not with fear—but with integrity, courage, and love? This is not just about Charlie Kirk. It’s about all of us. It’s about choosing to leave a legacy of truth, defiance, and fierce love—even if it costs us everything. 🔗 Listen now: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IpBgf3j2RC4pKVMKxMkx6?si=3a827a5dc06c4790 #VoicesThatMatter #UnbrokenVoices #RISEUPPhoenix #CharlieKirk #FaithAndFreedom #HumanTraffickingAwareness #TraumaHealing

🎧 New Podcast Episode Toxic Positivity – When Light Becomes a Lie RISEUP Voices From the Frontlines What if your healing journey started off strong—but somewhere along the way, “good vibes only” became the rule and your real emotions got shoved to the side? In this episode, Krista Fee dives into the raw truth about toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing, and the performance pressure that sneaks in when healing becomes a highlight reel. We unpack what happens neurobiologically when you pretend to be okay, how positivity can be used as emotional avoidance, and how to recognize when your light has become a lie. This isn’t a fluff-filled affirmation party. It’s a wake-up call for anyone who’s ever felt like being honest made them less “healed.” We talk about: The Trauma science behind “faking fine” Why toxic positivity creates dissonance in your nervous system Real-life stories of people stuck in the glitter and grace phase 4 powerful questions to check your emotional honesty What healing actually looks and sounds like (hint: it’s messy AND sacred) This one’s deep.

New Song Release: Born From the Flood, Forged in the Fire
🎵🔥 New Song Release | Born from the Flood, Forged in the Fire 🔥🎵 We didn’t just write a song—we lived it. This one came from the mud under our boots, the heartbreak in our chests, and the hope that refused to die. It’s about the Texas Hill Country flood… and our boots-on-the-ground response in the aftermath. It’s a promise: To never forget the faces we searched for. To honor those we couldn’t bring home. To rise for every family still waiting. It’s a song about what it means to hold the line when waters rise and hearts break. About the ache in the silence… and the fire in the search. About how we rise up stronger than the storm, hand in hand, soaked in sorrow and soaked in hope. "Through it all, we’re warm. Through fire and flood, We rise, together, to bring the lost back home." 💛 This song is our tribute. But our work? That’s year-round. We are always at the ready—rain or shine, flood or fire—to bring the lost back home. Help us keep going. Help us stay equipped. Help us show up. 👉 Donate to support our boots-on-the-ground crisis response program:https://givebutter.com/Y1GLwN Every dollar helps us answer the call—when others can't, won’t, or don’t. #RiseUpStronger #TexasHillCountry #FloodResponse #ThroughFireAndFlood #SearchAndRescue #WeBringThemHome #RISEUPPhoenix #BootsOnTheGround #HopeInTheAshes #FirstToShowLastToGo #GiveButter #DonateNow
