 Episode Summary:

In Part 3 of the Trauma-Informed Leadership Masterclass, Coach Liz Blanding focuses on the mindset shifts necessary for trauma-informed leadership. This episode takes listeners deep into the role that beliefs—especially limiting ones rooted in trauma—play in a person’s leadership capacity and emotional recovery. Through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, Liz highlights how leaders can foster environments of autonomy, competence, and connection.

Key Talking Points:

  • Limiting Beliefs from Trauma: “I’m not good enough.” “Success isn’t for people like me.” These narratives sabotage leadership and healing.


  • Leadership Reflection: Are you leading from fear or vision? Burnout or belief?


  • Self-Determination Theory: Unpacks the three core needs for psychological healing and growth: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.


  • Empowered Leadership: Trauma-informed leaders create safe spaces for others to regain agency, confidence, and connection.
