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. 43 - The Weight of Over-Functioning (Part 1 of the Mini-Series)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Lead Through It, Kim Andrews and Jada Willis kick off a new mini-series focused on a challenge many high-performing leaders face: over-functioning.
What does it look like when a leader is carrying too much, taking on too much responsibility, solving every problem, and becoming the place where every decision stops? Kim and Jada unpack why over-functioning is so common among leaders, and how it can leave even the most capable people feeling overwhelmed, distracted, and burned out.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in responsibilities, constantly putting out fires, or struggling to make space for the work only you can do, this episode is for you. Take the time to invest in yourself, reflect on where your time is going, and begin creating a leadership rhythm that allows you to lead with greater clarity and intention.
