Entrusted to Lead Podcast
Entrusted to Lead is for leaders navigating complex seasons who need more than tactics—they need clarity.
If you're carrying the weight of decisions that matter, leading through uncertainty, and trying to sustain yourself without burning out, this podcast is for you.
Host Danita Cummins—leadership coach and guide for directors, pastors, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs—brings honest reflections, practical frameworks, and faith-integrated wisdom for leaders who want to lead well without losing themselves.
Each seasonal release explores one dimension of sustainable leadership:
- Clarity (knowing what's actually yours)
- Wholeness (integration over compartmentalization)
- Authority (leading from your actual scope)
- Resilience (endurance through presence, not just pushing through)
This isn't about quick wins or productivity hacks. It's about the kind of leadership that lasts—grounded in faith, rooted in reality, and sustainable for the long haul.
New episodes drop twice a month. Episodes are 20-30 minutes—deep enough to matter, short enough to fit your life.
If you're ready for clarity that actually helps, start here.
