What happens when the greatest expectations you’re carrying aren’t coming from anyone else — but from yourself?

In this final episode of the 3-part series, we explore the difference between excellence and perfectionism — and why so many leaders confuse the two. While excellence is rooted in purpose and service, perfectionism is driven by fear, shame, and the need to control outcomes.

If you find yourself overthinking, overworking, or avoiding rest because it feels unsafe to slow down… this conversation is for you.

You’ll learn:

- How perfectionism masquerades as responsibility

- The invisible cost of leading from pressure instead of peace

- The patterns of over-functioning that slowly wear you down

- And how to begin leading yourself with more presence, permission, and compassion

You don’t have to carry it all to lead well.

You don’t have to be perfect to be trusted.

And you don’t have to stay stuck in pressure to make an impact.

Tune in and take a deep breath — your leadership gets to be more human.

Let’s be honest: Feedback can feel like a punch to the gut — not because it’s wrong, but because we’ve been taught to equate feedback with failure, and failure with identity.

💥 In this episode, Amanda shares a deeply personal moment that revealed a hidden leadership pattern — and how feedback, when filtered through truth, can lead to deep transformation.

Here’s what we explore:

• Why feedback feels threatening — and how to reframe it

• The real reason leaders avoid feedback (and what it costs us)

• How projection shows up and distorts truth

• The 3 internal stories we tell ourselves to avoid vulnerability

• What it looks like to receive feedback as information, not identity

• How to use discernment + self-awareness as a feedback filter

✨ The truth?

Feedback and vulnerability don’t have to be enemies anymore.

They can be growth.

They can be sacred ground.

They can be the start of your next breakthrough.

“The Hardest Person You’ll Ever Lead Is You” (Part 1: Self-Awareness)

Welcome to the start of a powerful new 3-part series on The Leadership Wound — because before you lead anyone else, you must learn to lead yourself. In this episode, Amanda Rohrer unpacks the foundational role of self-awareness in authentic leadership. From understanding your internal compass to noticing blind spots and navigating projection from others, this episode helps you reflect on what it’s really like to be on the other side of your leadership.

You’ll explore:

• Why self-leadership is the most invisible — and most important — form of leadership
• How lack of self-awareness shows up in relationships and team culture
• What feedback to trust, and why not all feedback is a mirror
• How to discern when you're in the wrong seat — and what it takes to realign
• Four practical ways to cultivate daily self-awareness

This episode offers honest reflection, practical tools, and spiritual grounding to help you lead with integrity — from the inside out. It’s also packed with journal prompts and a beautiful reminder: You don’t have to lead like anyone else. You just need to lead like you.
