7: Two Times I Shouldn't Have Pushed Through
Summary
So many leaders have a tendency to use work as a shield from dealing with complex and difficult emotions, such as grief and loss. Using work to avoid processing deep emotions will only get you so far, as Layci can attest to. In this episode, Layci shares two very painful moments in her life where she had to learn the hard way that ignoring her pain through losing herself in her work only resulted in burnout, longer recovery times, diminished quality of work, and prolonging her grief. Layci makes the vulnerable plea to leaders everywhere to slow down, breathe, and feel the loss, hurt, and grief. You cannot heal it if you refuse to feel it.

Confessions of a Terrible Leader is hosted by Layci Nelson and produced by Mary Skop. Music is by Leif Olsen and Mary Skop from the band "The Number of Months."So many leaders have a tendency to use work as a shield from dealing with complex and difficult emotions, such as grief and loss.
