Do you ever feel like emotionally you're on thin ice? As leaders, we feel a lot of pressure to present ourselves as having everything together. We have fears, anxieties and hurts and dreams that often, no one else is aware of. Things we never share with anyone, maybe with the exception of our spouse or therapist. And yet, when we do share that stuff with other leaders or peers we trust, what we almost always find, is that we're not alone in those things. In many ways, we're all the same. Brandon and I get into those head games and struggles during this episode. Join us in the conversation- you may find you're less alone in your own struggles than you think.    Thanks for listening! If you enjoy the podcast please be sure to leave a review, follow the show (don’t forget to turn on your notifications!) and share with a friend.
