Season 4: The Weight We Don't Name
Episode Summary
We all carry something like a disappointment, a missed opportunity, or a private ache that doesn’t fade with time. For women in leadership, those unspoken weights don’t disappear just because we bury them. They quietly show up in our tone, our teams, and the way we lead.
In this episode, Dr. Dwan gets real about what it means to name what hurts and why vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. She shares a personal story from her early leadership journey, the weight she carried in silence, and how acknowledging that pain became her turning point toward healing and freedom.
Whether you’re leading a team, a family, or simply trying to hold it all together, this episode reminds you that what doesn’t get revealed, won’t heal.
Key Takeaways
- Naming your pain doesn’t give it power, it gives you permission to heal.
- Leadership trauma is real and healing from it begins with honesty.
- Vulnerability doesn’t make you less of a leader; it makes you more human.
- When you lead with authenticity, you create emotional safety for others to do the same.
Reflection Prompt
This week, take five quiet minutes and ask yourself:
“What weight have I been carrying that I haven’t named?”
Write it down.
Say it out loud.
Pray over it.
Share it with someone safe.
Because what you name, you can heal.
And what you heal, you can finally lead from.
