In the first episode of our new series, Delegation & Coverage: Operating Through the Holidays, Krista Denoff, founder of KD Consulting, opens up about what it really takes to plan your pause — especially when you’re used to holding it all together.

This episode was recorded while Krista had Covid — and that moment of chaos perfectly fits the message:
 leadership doesn’t wait for ideal conditions.

Through personal reflection and practical strategy, Krista explores how to:

• Redefine rest as part of your leadership rhythm.
• Build systems that protect your time, your people, and your peace.
• Delegate and document so your business can breathe without you.
• Trust your team to lead with you — not just follow behind you.

“Because when your business runs well without you, that’s not a sign you’re replaceable.
 It’s a sign you’ve built something sustainable.”

This episode invites leaders to see rest not as weakness, but as wisdom — a skill that defines the difference between surviving the holidays and growing through them.
