What does it actually mean to lead authentically, when work is chaotic, life hits hard, and your team needs you at your best?

In this Unbreakable episode, Kait reconnects with business leader and author Jennifer Jensen (“Developing Authentic Leaders”) to unpack practical, human leadership: telling the truth, knowing your triggers, and building teams that trust you without micromanaging.

Jen shares a raw story of surviving toxic leadership, burnout, and personal loss, and how counseling, insight, and boundaries rebuilt her leadership identity. Together, they dig into the tools that work: values assessments, simple “start small” coaching, accountability cues for stress behaviors, and reverse mentorship across seven working generations. You’ll hear why middle managers sit in the highest-risk pressure zone, and how to move into the top 3% of leaders by investing in self-awareness, clarity (vision/mission/values), and presence (be where your feet are).Rooted in the Unbreakable ethos (from the forthcoming book Unbreakable: From Abandonment to Abundance and the Strength to Lead), this conversation gives you honest, usable steps to lead yourself, your team, and your life.
