What does it really take to heal when conventional answers run out?

Welcome to Tuesday Truths, your mid-week reflection from Leading Our Own Way. This week I'm sitting with part of my conversation with Kersten Stengel, a woman who faced chronic pain, workplace challenges, and the kind of exhaustion that no amount of rest could fix. What she discovered was that healing required more than modern medicine. It required ancient practices, a deep return to self-awareness, and the courage to lean on community.

Kersten's story is a reminder that prevention is just as powerful as treatment, and that reconnecting with who you truly are can be the first step toward real change.

Part 2 of our full conversation drops tomorrow. Make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss it. And if this resonates with you, leave a review. It means the world.
