Throughout the episode, Amy sheds light on the importance of trauma healing for leaders, and how it can unlock their true leadership potential and bring about positive transformation. 

She shares insightful stories and examples, helping us understand that trauma is not limited to extreme experiences, but rather it encompasses various events that overwhelm us emotionally and linger in our lives.

She also talks about the connection between inner health and leadership, understanding how trauma affects our behaviors, decisions, and relationships in the organizational setting.
