Kara List | The Better Conversations Podcast
I Help Working Moms Lead High Impact Conversations Without Losing Sleep!
Hey, I’m Kara!
Leadership coach, podcast host, mom of 3, pastor’s wife, and hype-girl for women leading small to medium-sized teams.
After a decade of leading teams and coaching women like you, I’ve learned this:
Culture isn’t built through handbooks or vision statements. It’s built in conversations—the everyday kind that often get overlooked.
And most leaders aren’t avoiding hard conversations because they don’t care.
They’re avoiding them because they don’t feel equipped.
That’s where I come in with real tools for real conversations.
