Never Trade Integrity for Obedience

A relative's firing taught me never to trade integrity for obedience. Years later, I forgot that lesson and stayed silent when I shouldn't have. This episode explores Principle #3: Compassion—not the soft kind, but the kind that holds boundaries while understanding why people act small. From Brené Brown's "flame fuelers vs. flame blower-outers" to the moment I remembered who I was, you'll learn how compassion for yourself and others creates powerful self-leadership without burning out.
