In this episode, we’re getting real about the challenging experiences we’ve faced as mentors—the moments that stretched us, triggered us, and called us deeper into our own growth. We share stories of when things didn’t go as planned, when clients challenged us, or when our own insecurities came up—and how we navigated those moments from self-responsibility instead of blame, shutdown, or victim hood. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about being perfect—it’s about staying open. It’s about keeping your heart soft even when it would be easier to armor up. And it’s about choosing to grow through what you go through. Whether you’re a mentor, coach, or just someone on a path of self-leadership, this one’s for you.
The medicine is in the mess.
The power is in your response.
