Welcome to The Better Conversations Podcast—where we believe that thriving workplace cultures are built in everyday conversations. I’m Kara List, and after years of leading teams, coaching leaders, and navigating the messiness of work and life, I’ve learned this: as leaders, the words we say, and the ways we say them, matter more than we think. Every week, I’ll give you real tools for real conversations—like how to give feedback with confidence and clarity, lead truly connected 1:1s that actually matter, run staff meetings your team doesn’t secretly hate, and all the chats in between!

How Leaders Handle Constant Demands Without Losing Their Minds | #72

Have you ever ended your workday thinking:
“Why does everyone expect their priority to be mine?”
“If I just had ONE uninterrupted day to think, everything would be better.”

This episode is for leaders who are carrying more than anyone can see.

In this video, we talk about the invisible mental load of leadership—the constant tug-of-war between strategy and execution, big-picture thinking and daily demands, supporting your people while holding the entire system together.

Your employees don’t need to fully understand the weight of your role—but they do need clarity around how you think, prioritize, and make decisions.

I’ll walk you through:
✔ Why leadership often feels like a lose-lose
✔ Why resentment is one of the biggest hidden dangers for leaders
✔ The simple communication shift that removes frustration and builds trust
✔ A 3-step framework you can use in Slack, email, or hallway conversations
✔ How to lead with clarity without over-explaining, apologizing, or burning out

This episode will help you:
• Stop feeling guilty for not being everything to everyone
• Communicate priorities without sounding dismissive or overwhelmed
• Build trust and steadiness on your team
• Lead with confidence even when everything feels urgent

If you’re a leader navigating constant demands, competing priorities, and the pressure to never let anyone down—this conversation is for you.
