• Call out the toxic energy for what it is, and pinpoint which false rules are blocking your authentic development as a leader.

• Give the weight of your pain back to those who laid it at your soul in the first place.

• Stop fighting against the trauma, as that energy only feeds the fight.

• Turn toward your own heart and honor all the ways in which you have been living and leading from your own self-love.

• Identify and center your lifelong experiences of whole self from childhood onward, where you were operating from the wisdom of your joy within.

• Choose to live and lead from your joy each moment of every day.

• If you need help to do the work, ask for it. Don’t let ego stop you from what you are truly capable of.
