22. Every Leader Has an Origin Story with Nate Wagner

“We don’t talk enough about how trauma can actively drive success. We also don’t talk about how that trauma can explode our success if not dealt with.” – Nate Wagner

Today’s conversation is a vulnerable one–but one that high achievers deeply need to hear.

Today’s returning guest is Nate Wagner, a pastor, counselor, and rehabilitator of burned-out leaders. Together with co-host Trent Booth, they unpack the significance of addressing and recovering from past traumas to achieve self-awareness and self-regulation.

We'll explore the distinctions between "big T" and "small t" traumas and discuss the hidden challenges leaders face in balancing work and home life. 

Nate provides invaluable insights into recognizing when it's time to seek professional help and the importance of finding the right therapist. This conversation is packed with practical advice for leaders looking to break free from dysfunctional coping mechanisms and build healthier, more productive lives.
