Entrusted to Lead: Leadership Clarity for Complex Seasons

You're leading through decisions that matter. Teams depending on you. Deadlines stacking up. Personal life competing for the same mental space. And somewhere between the crisis management and the long-term vision, you're wondering if you're doing any of it well.

Entrusted to Lead is the leadership podcast for people carrying real responsibility—not aspiring to it, not reflecting on it from retirement, but navigating it right now.

Hosted by Danita Cummins, each 15-30 minute episode helps you reduce mental overload, clarify decisions under pressure, and lead with focus—without burnout, overfunctioning, or pretending everything is fine.

What Makes This Different:

This isn't productivity hacks or motivational speeches. It's practical questions, grounded frameworks, and faith-driven perspective that create space to think clearly when everything feels urgent.

You'll get:

Decision frameworks you can apply immediately to reduce second-guessing
Mental load management strategies that reclaim hours in your week without dropping responsibilities
Conversations with leaders who've navigated complex seasons and emerged with clarity intact
Faith-integrated leadership that redefines success as stewardship, not performance
Honest takes on overfunctioning, people-pleasing, and the hidden costs of "having it all together"

Who This Is For:

Managers, directors, founders, pastors, nonprofit leaders, educators—anyone leading people, projects, or organizations while managing competing demands. If you're responsible for outcomes that affect others, this show speaks your language.

You don't need another podcast telling you to work harder or dream bigger. You need tools to work clearer and lead steadier in seasons that demand both.
