We made it to Q2, but not without some bruises. In this solo episode, Kira shares her raw, honest take on what Q1 of 2025 taught her as a founder, leader, and business owner navigating through uncertainty (and yes, a two-star review). From finding stability in chaos to staying agile in how we serve, this episode is full of hard-earned lessons and powerful reminders for anyone leading a team right now.

Whether you’re riding high or barely hanging on, this one’s for you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why your team doesn’t need a perfect leader – just a steady one
  • What one bad review taught Kira about accountability, growth, and protecting your team’s confidence
  • The leadership trait people are craving more than ever in uncertain times
  • Why agility beats rigidity when it comes to offers, org charts, and internal ops
  • A new HR self-assessment tool designed to show you what you don’t know about compliance (and why that’s not your fault)

Listen now to hear Kira’s hot takes, honest confessions, and real talk about leading in today’s landscape.
