Summary

Being a leader can often feel lonely and exhausting. Rather than leading from a full heart, we lead from an empty one. In trying times, we even question if it's worth it. But listen, you don't have to resign to this journey. We lead others best when we lead from a heart of joy. And that's what this episode is all about--leading from a full heart.

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about:

* What happens when we're willing to develop the courage of being open to our inner world* Why it's important to surround yourself with other wholehearted leaders* How to find and build trust with other to like-minded people* How to chase your God-given mission from a full heart without losing joy* Why the Leader's Heart is a safe place to develop the tools to become an emotionally healthy leader, focus on your soul, and build healthy relationships
