In this episode of the Happy Stack Podcast, Terri-Ann Richards shares a powerful metaphor—the 50-pound potato sack—to unpack the emotional weight many of us carry from past experiences.
From childhood trauma to professional failures, these unseen burdens shape how we lead, communicate, and connect.
Through candid stories, deep reflection, and actionable tools, Terri-Ann invites you to identify, process, and release what’s holding you back so you can lead with greater clarity, energy, and purpose.
This is a call to do the inner work that unlocks outer success.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Everyone carries emotional "baggage" from past experiences—leaders are no exception.
Unprocessed trauma or fear can impact communication, decision-making, and trust.
Acceptance is the first step—not approval, but acknowledgment.
A simple reflection exercise helps you identify and release emotional weight.
Letting go of the past doesn’t erase your drive—it channels it in a sustainable way.
True leadership begins with self-leadership—from the inside out.
