Transcending Patriarchy: Women Reimagining Leadership and Healing

Transcending Patriarchy: Women Reimagining Leadership and Healing

This episode of Resiliency Within explores how patriarchal traditions have influenced leadership in the healing professions, often emphasizing hierarchy, authority, and "fixing" over collaboration, curiosity, and empowerment. Jenn Turner and Elaine Miller Karas, drawing from their own experiences, will reflect on how challenging these dynamics inspired them to embrace a different way of leading—one that honors the wisdom of the body, psychological safety, shared power, and the resilience inherent in every person. Together, they will discuss how women leaders, alongside allies of all genders, are helping to create a new paradigm of leadership that stands up to bullying and the misuse of authority with courage, compassion, and integrity, fostering healing communities where every voice is respected and every person has the opportunity to thrive.
