You built something real.
A team that works.
A culture that breathes.
A space where people feel safe.

And then leadership started tearing it down — with empty slogans, chaotic decisions, and a total disconnect from reality.

This episode is for every middle leader watching their hard work be dismantled from the top — while still trying to protect their team, values, and sanity.

🔥 In this episode:
• Why it hurts more than just frustration — it’s grief.
• The 3 traps most leaders fall into (and how they backfire).
• What actually works when leadership is broken.
• How to reclaim your power and lead with clarity, not bitterness.
• Why you’re not crazy — you’re just the only one still awake.

This isn’t about whining.
It’s about naming the heartbreak of watching something good get broken — by the very people meant to protect it.

🎧 Listen if you’re stuck between performative leadership above you and a team that still deserves the best of you.

You're not alone. You're not weak. You're rare.
And this episode will help you hold the line — without losing yourself.
