As the old saying goes, “It’s lonely at the top.” We explore life as non-profit executive directors and 
how we cope with the isolation and pressure of being the primary decision-makers for our organizations. We also talk about what makes leadership awesome and what strategies we use to sustain their work at the top. (Big shout out to Shine Theory!) And of course, we talk about the models of strong female leadership we saw (or didn’t see) in church and beyond.
