311 | Why Leadership Feels Heavy (and How to Handle It)

Leadership feels heavy right now. Between global uncertainty, shifting workplace dynamics, and the emotional weight our teams carry, many leaders are feeling the strain — and the loneliness — that comes with responsibility.

In this episode, Jenni Catron unpacks the weight of leadership and why it feels harder than ever to keep teams engaged. Drawing from her own leadership journey, Jenni shares what she’s learned about navigating seasons of isolation, rediscovering your “why,” and finding the community you need to sustain the work of leading well.

You’ll learn:

• Why leadership feels heavier right now—and what to do about it
• How to reconnect with your purpose when you feel drained
• Practical ways to invest in your team’s engagement and culture
• Why stewarding people is sacred work, not just strategic work

This conversation is an honest reminder that leadership is both a privilege and a responsibility—and that you don’t have to carry it alone.

Tune in for practical wisdom, encouragement, and tools to help you lead yourself well so you can lead others better.
