Your Thoughts Are Shaped by What You’ve Survived

Happy Monday,

The beliefs you hold weren’t born in a vacuum. 

They helped you survive a world that hasn’t always been safe. 

But if you want to live and lead differently, you have to think and be differently. And that means honoring what shaped you—while choosing what leads you forward.

This week, notice which thoughts come from protection and which ones point toward possibility.

Choose one that brings you closer to the future you’re building.

Let’s build together,

Sharon

P.S. Every culture has protection patters - ways it keeps itself safe. Learn how to spot them, map them, and evolve beyond survival.

P.P.S. The ways we’ve been taught to lead often reinforce the very harm we’re trying to heal. That’s why we built Trauma-Informed Leadership in a World in Flux. Catch up on the recordings and join us—your leadership will never be the same. 

That’s your Monday LIFT! Have a great week.
