Stuck(ish) Stories: Rebuilding Life After the Dark Side of Leadership

In this powerful episode of Stuck(ish) Stories, therapist and returning guest Jillian joins me to unpack the dark sides of leadership—specifically in high-control, high-demand environments. While these patterns are often associated with religious spaces, we explore how they also show up in educational, professional, and other hierarchical systems. Jillian and I share parallel stories of surviving toxic leadership, each from our own context, and reflect on the long road of healing, reclaiming autonomy, and rediscovering trust. This conversation is a raw, honest dive into what it means to navigate leadership trauma and come out the other side with your integrity intact.

Craig uses his expertise in statistics to explore the idea of individuality, challenging the common notion of being "one in a million." His findings reveal that each of us is "one of one"—a truly unique individual. Tune in as we discuss what it means to embrace our uniqueness and how statistics can illuminate this powerful concept.
