In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Stacy Winsett, a high-level executive who reveals the raw truth behind her professional success: it was built on a foundation of childhood trauma and hyper-vigilance. Her book, From Ashes to Influence: Leadership Forged by Fire and Faith, serves as a powerful memoir and blueprint, tracing her journey from government housing and a literal house fire to the Chief People Officer seat. She challenges the traditional "strong at all costs" leadership model, offering instead a path toward "stewardship leadership" that replaces survival instincts with faith and presence.

🎯 What Listeners Will Learn:
- The Cost of Usefulness: Why being a "fixer" often stems from childhood defense mechanisms and how it leads to executive burnout.
- Repurposing Survival Skills: How to turn hyper-vigilance into professional discernment without staying in a state of constant stress.
- The Body’s Record: How chronic stress and "over-functioning" manifest as physical illness and why your nervous system needs permission to rest.
- Choosing Integrity: Why the most consequential leadership decision you can make is often choosing to leave an unsafe or toxic environment.
- Stewardship vs. Survival: How to shift from fear-based compliance to a trust-based leadership style that empowers your team.
