This week on Tearin’ Up My Heart, we’re diving into the value of accountability with leadership coach, educator, and roller derby powerhouse Dr. Ashley Lang. As the founder of Goal Digger, Ashley helps individuals and organizations grow by first owning who they are and then taking radical, values-driven action.

We talk about what accountability really means (hint: it’s not just checking boxes or assigning blame), how to create cultures of growth, and why owning your mess-ups is one of the most powerful leadership moves you can make.

If you’re tired of excuses, finger-pointing, or stagnant teams, this episode is your blueprint for personal and professional integrity.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why accountability builds trust faster than perfection
• How to model growth-minded leadership
• Ways to balance responsibility with compassion
• Real-world examples of failure turned into fuel
• How to coach others into greater ownership and action
