Lead Through It with Kim and Jada
If you're leading a team or an organization through something hard right now, you're in the right place.
Jada Willis and Kim Andrews are the co-hosts of Lead Through It. They’re here because leadership gets lonely, and they want to make it less so. Every week, they bring you stories about how other leaders are doing it, practical tips and tools you can use right away, and their signature wit and charm.
In an alternate universe, Jada and Kim are competitors. But they decided collaborating would be much more fun. Kim spent 15 years inside schools and nonprofits and now helps leaders build strong teams, make tough decisions, and get stuff done without burning out. Jada built a seven-figure HR firm from nothing, sold it, and now helps leaders turn chaos into clarity, fueled by a lot of faith and grit. They’ve had different paths but share the values that matter most.
If *it* is hitting the fan, we’ve got you. Let's lead through it together.

Ep. 40 - What To Do When People are Frustrating
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this debrief episode of Lead Through It, Jada Willis and Kim Andrews reflect on their conversation with executive coach Muriel Wilkins and unpack the leadership lessons that have continued to stay with them long after the interview ended.
Together, they explore what it means to practice self-compassion in the midst of difficult seasons, why witnessing our own struggles can be just as important as solving them, and how personal growth often comes from allowing ourselves to sit with discomfort instead of rushing past it.
They also unpack Muriel's powerful perspective that "everything is co-created," challenging leaders to look inward when navigating difficult relationships and recognize the role they play in shaping outcomes. The episode closes with an honest conversation about competition, collaboration, and why leadership becomes stronger when we choose to learn from one another instead of comparing ourselves.
Whether you're navigating a challenging season, leading through uncertainty, or simply looking to become a more intentional leader, this debrief offers practical reflections and thoughtful questions that will stay with you long after the episode ends.
If today’s conversation resonated, connect with us and be part of the community of leaders who refuse to lead alone.
