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.

In this special pre-brief episode of Lead Through It, Jada Willis and Kim Andrews have an honest conversation about something every leader experiences but few openly discuss: navigating personal challenges while continuing to lead others.
Before welcoming Dr. Ardra Davis-Tolbert to the podcast, Jada shares her own upcoming health journey and the experience of preparing for major surgery while balancing the demands of leadership. Together, Jada and Kim discuss why conversations around women's health, recovery, vulnerability, and workplace support matter…not just personally, but professionally.
They explore what it means to prepare your team before stepping away, how leaders can create cultures where people feel safe asking for support, and why acknowledging life's inevitable transitions can strengthen rather than weaken leadership.
This episode offers a firsthand look at the intersection of personal well-being and professional responsibility while setting the stage for a meaningful conversation with Dr. Tolbert. If you've ever wondered how to lead through life's unexpected challenges without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.
If today’s conversation resonated, connect with us and be part of the community of leaders who refuse to lead alone.
