Why Leadership Feels Heavier Than It Should (Kira Shishkin) | 371

Uncertainty shows up.
Not as noise.
But as pressure.

Not as failure.
But as something you want to escape.

Most leaders either push it away
or get stuck inside it.

You still lead. You still decide.
But something feels heavier than it should.

And when things feel heavier, everything moves slower.

This conversation stays in that moment.

Kira Shishkin brings a sharp perspective on how leaders cut through noise while carrying real pressure.

And shows a different way through it.

INSIDE THE EPISODE

• When doubt feels heavier than it should, even when things look fine on the outside
• How uncertainty turns into pressure when it gets treated like a problem to fix
• The moment pushing harder stops working and everything feels slower
• What changes when doubt is read instead of fought

THIS EPISODE IS FOR

• Leaders who carry the weight of decisions quietly
• Founders who still move forward even when it feels heavy
• High performers who feel pressure no one sees
