HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design

Join Leslie Gaudet and Kim Costa, Top 5% Realtor® and creator of The Wheel House Method, for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation about the powerful relationship between the spaces we live in and the extraordinary lives we’re building. Kim's journey to this work is anything but ordinary. She built Clarity Farm from scratch — a beautiful property that ultimately left her feeling isolated and disconnected. And then she won an essay contest for The Oprah Winfrey Show and made the bold decision to decline filming because her home simply didn’t reflect her true self. Those two defining moments became the foundation for everything she now does. In this episode, Kim opens up about how she developed The Wheel House Method — a framework that evaluates homes across eight life dimensions including career, finance, health, relationships, and spirituality — and why she believes our homes are either actively supporting our extraordinary lives or quietly working against them. You’ll hear what it truly looks like to make a bold, aligned home decision from a place of deep self-knowledge, how financial intelligence and personal alignment must work together, and what her book reveals about the gap between how homes look and how they actually make us feel. If you have ever walked through your front door and felt like something was just not quite right — this conversation will help you finally understand why, and what to do about it. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet for an honest conversation about the space many high-achieving women find themselves in but rarely talk about openly: the space between realizing something in their life no longer fits and understanding why they haven't been able to change it yet.  In this episode, Leslie explores what happens when awareness doesn't automatically lead to movement, why so many capable women turn their lack of action into evidence against themselves, and the private conclusions they begin drawing about who they are simply because a season has taken longer than they expected. Through reflection and lived experience, she invites listeners to consider whether the problem isn't a lack of clarity at all, but the meaning they've attached to still being in the middle of becoming.   If you've ever thought, I should've figured this out by now, or wondered why knowing something isn't working hasn't been enough to change it, this conversation will remind you that just because this season has taken longer than you expected, it doesn't mean you've failed.  ********************************************************************Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ********************************************************************Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Stacy Heisey-Terrell, Career Ownership Coach and HR veteran, for an honest and empowering conversation about what it really takes to stop fitting yourself into a career that was never built for you — and start designing one that actually is.  After decades in HR across demanding industries, Stacy experienced firsthand the burnout, broken promises, and unexpected disruptions that so many high-achieving women quietly endure. Rather than starting over from scratch, she made a bold, intentional move — and built the balanced, fulfilling work life she once only imagined. Now she helps other women do the same through her Career 2.0 framework.  In this episode, Stacy opens up about reconnecting with your values and strengths after years of adapting yourself to fit a role, how to build real autonomy without trading one form of pressure for another, and what separates the women who make the bold career move and land well from those who stay stuck at the edge of it.  If you've been quietly wondering whether there's a version of your career that actually fits who you are today — this conversation will remind you that it's not only possible, it's waiting for you.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet for a deeply personal conversation about the moments when something in your life keeps asking for your attention, and you can't quite explain why. In this episode, Leslie explores the frustration of feeling like you're having the same conversation with yourself over and over again. The recurring thought. The recurring feeling. The recurring frustration that continues showing up long before you fully understand what it's trying to tell you. Drawing from her own experience, Leslie shares how she began recognizing a pattern of clarity, frustration, clarity, frustration—and what happened when she finally stopped long enough to look at the evidence instead of continuing to move past it. You'll hear why so many high-achieving women mistake negotiation for clarity, how recurring patterns often reveal more than we realize, and why curiosity may be more powerful than certainty when it comes to understanding what keeps showing up in our lives. If you've ever felt like something keeps getting your attention but you haven't fully figured out what it means yet, this conversation is for you. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Stephanie Jones, Time Management and Productivity Coach and founder of the Growth Room and the Wealth Building Room, for a bold and energizing conversation about what it truly means to build a business — and a life — completely on your own terms. Stephanie's story is not your typical entrepreneurship journey. After leaving a high-control religious environment and coming out as a lesbian at 27, she rebuilt her entire identity from the ground up. That experience of releasing everything that was never hers to carry became the foundation for the no-fluff, results-driven work she now does with hundreds of women every day. In this episode, Stephanie opens up about what it actually takes for women to stop shrinking and start leading with their full, unfiltered voice, why so many smart and capable entrepreneurs get stuck in the messy middle longer than they need to, and what sustainable scaling really looks like when you refuse to sacrifice your health, relationships, or freedom to get there. You will also hear about the Growth Room and the Wealth Building Room — and what becomes possible for women when they finally step into spaces designed to move them from confusion and inconsistency to clarity, confidence, and cash flow. If you have ever felt like you are working harder than ever but still not quite there — this conversation will show you exactly what has been getting in the way and what it looks like to finally claim your seat at the table. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

What happens when the woman teaching other people to honor themselves realizes she hasn’t fully been honoring herself? In this deeply personal solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet opens up about the emotional and physical cost of becoming the infrastructure for everything she’s building — from podcasting, coaching, and content creation to supporting a law firm and carrying the invisible labor that comes with being the one everyone depends on. This is the final episode in the May solo series — Influence with Integrity — and it’s an honest conversation about the gap that can slowly form between what we teach, what we value, and how we’re actually living. Leslie shares the internal negotiation so many high-achieving women quietly live inside: • the pressure to keep going, • the discomfort around asking for support, • the normalization of exhaustion, and • the moment she realized her body was asking her to stop overriding the very truths she teaches other women to honor. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve become the nervous system for everything around you…this conversation will likely feel very personal. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Dr. Mickell Dent, licensed mental health therapist, EMDR clinician, transformational coach, and TEDx speaker, for a raw, honest, and deeply empowering conversation about what it truly means to unmask, heal, and step into the most authentic version of yourself. Dr. Dent is the creator of the ABC Theory, founder of Boss Fly Girls, and the driving force behind GLOW 414 — a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring and supporting youth and young adults through education and mental wellness. Her TEDx talk on the masks we wear has sparked conversations that so many women have needed but never known how to start. In this episode, Dr. Dent opens up about the most common masks high-achieving women wear and the real cost of keeping them on, how EMDR and inner child work help women break patterns they have been carrying for years, and what it truly looks like to lead and influence from a place of radical authenticity rather than performance. If you have ever felt like the mask you put on to survive has started to feel like your real face — this conversation is your invitation to finally take it off. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

What happens when the coach knows something the client doesn’t fully know yet? And what happens when the honest conversation about fit becomes harder than accepting the payment?  In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores the deeper layer underneath the growing trust recession inside the coaching industry — not just from the client side, but from the responsibility coaches carry when influence, money, discernment, and integrity all meet in the same conversation.  This is the fourth episode in the May solo series — Influence With Integrity — and it’s for every coach, mentor, leader, or service provider who has ever had to wrestle with the difference between someone being willing to say yes…and someone truly being ready for the room they’re asking to enter.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Anisa Crespo, co-founder of Million Dollar Mom Inc., for a bold and inspiring conversation about what it truly means to build influence with integrity — and why visibility, when used with purpose and faith, becomes one of the most powerful forces for lasting change. Anisa built a seven-figure empire in under a year while raising twins and leading with faith — and through Million Dollar Mom Inc., she has created an entire ecosystem designed to elevate women into wealth, leadership, and legacy. From The Million Dollar Room luxury mastermind to the Million Dollar Media Group and Million Dollar Network, her platforms are giving women the visibility, mentorship, and community they need to scale with clarity and confidence. In this episode, Anisa opens up about what led her to create this movement, what it truly takes for a mom to step into her millionaire identity without losing herself in the process, and what she believes is the difference between being seen for reach versus being seen for real impact. If you have been waiting for permission to use your voice, claim your platform, and build the legacy you were always meant to leave — this conversation is your sign.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

You made the decision thoughtfully. You weighed the risks. You trusted yourself enough to move forward. And then the outcome didn’t unfold the way you hoped. Now, suddenly, every future decision started carrying more pressure. More hesitation. More internal reviewing. Because somewhere along the way, disappointing outcomes stopped feeling like experiences…and started feeling like evidence. In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what happens when high-achieving women begin attaching identity to outcomes, and how painful decisions can quietly reshape the relationship they have with their own judgment and self-trust moving forward. This is the third episode in the May solo series — Influence with Integrity — and it’s for every woman who has ever replayed a decision long after it ended…not because you were still evaluating the decision itself, but because some part of you was still trying to determine what the outcome meant about you. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Maggie Marcus, education equity leader and Executive Director of the Sullivan Family Charitable Foundation, for a thoughtful conversation about influence, integrity, and expanding opportunity through systems change. Maggie shares how her work began in the classroom, where she witnessed talented multilingual students navigating barriers that had nothing to do with ability—and how that experience shaped her commitment to advancing equity at a broader level. From empowering bilingual educators to guiding philanthropic partnerships that create lasting impact, Maggie offers a grounded perspective on what it truly means to lead with responsibility. In this episode, you’ll hear how she defines influence in the context of education and philanthropy, how she approaches visibility without centering herself, and what conscious impact looks like when making funding and partnership decisions. Maggie also speaks to the resilience required to stay anchored to mission-driven work—and what she hopes the next generation of women leaders understands about success, equity, and using their voice with purpose. If you care about shaping the systems around you in meaningful ways—and leading with clarity, intention, and integrity—this conversation will stay with you long after it ends. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

You found a way to finally say the true thing online. The honest question. The real experience. The thing you'd never post under your own name. You said it anonymously. And it landed. People responded. They said yes, exactly, thank you for saying this. And for a moment you felt what it's like to be heard as yourself. Except nobody knew it was you. In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet examines the anonymous filter — not as a social media habit, but as something far more significant. Because the filter that feels like protection is doing something to you that you never signed up for. Not to your reach. Not to your visibility. But to your relationship with your own voice. To your ability to trust yourself to speak. To the version of you that existed before the mask became the default. This episode doesn't tell you to take the filter off. It asks a more important question first. Do you still know you're wearing it? This is the second episode in the May solo series — Influence with Integrity — and it's for every woman who has learned that speaking her truth in professional spaces has a price. And who has been paying a different kind of price ever since. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Laetitia Bouffard-Roupe, internationally awarded model, movement artist, and published muse, for a breathtaking conversation about creativity, authentic influence, and what it truly means to stay anchored in your values while building a career that has taken you across 87 countries and onto stages around the world. Trained at the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet School and a former performer with Cirque du Soleil, Laetitia has built a six-figure creative career rooted in grace, precision, and timeless storytelling — one that has seen her immortalized in bronze sculptures, featured on international magazine covers, and published across five fine art photo books. In this episode, Laetitia opens up about the defining moments that shaped her path, how she has stayed rooted in her boundaries and values while navigating some of the world's most demanding creative industries, and what she has learned about the kind of influence that does not require noise or performance — only presence and intention. She also shares the story behind her newest photo book UNSEEN, a stunning collection of images that could not exist anywhere but in print, and why she believes art has the power to move people toward their own dreams in ways that words alone never could. If you have ever felt pressured to show up as something other than yourself — this conversation is a quiet but powerful reminder that your most meaningful impact begins exactly where authenticity meets intention. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: ⁠https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign⁠; ⁠[email protected]⁠ Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Everyone’s talking about the trust recession — the collective pulling back from investing in coaches, programs and mentors. And the coaching industry has an explanation for it. Too many unqualified voices entered the space. Promises were made that weren't kept. People got burned and stopped buying. And while that's part of the story — it's not the whole story. In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet offers a reframe that the trust recession isn't about coaches. It's about you. Specifically — it's about what high-achieving women decide about themselves in the aftermath of a disappointing experience with coaching, personal development or any investment in their own growth. The quiet verdict you reached about your own judgment. And the research loop you've been running ever since, not because you need more information, but because you stopped trusting the woman doing the discerning. This episode examines what's actually driving the hesitation, what it's been costing you in ways that don't show up on any spreadsheet, and what rebuilding self-trust actually requires — including the part most conversations about self-trust and decision making skip right over entirely. If you've been sitting on the fence about investing in yourself, stuck in the research loop, or wondering whether you can trust your own judgment — this episode is for you. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Lindsie Vizethann, nurse, author, and holistic health coach, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about what it truly means to heal beyond a diagnosis — and why the answers your body has been giving you may have been there all along.  After nearly 20 years inside the traditional healthcare system, Lindsie became the patient herself — and that experience changed everything. What she discovered sent her on a path of exploring nutrition, hormone health, nervous system regulation, and the powerful connection between physical symptoms and the deeper messages our bodies are sending. Today she helps women understand PCOS and other hormonal conditions not as life sentences but as invitations to finally listen.  In this episode, Lindsie opens up about the gaps in conventional care that so many women quietly sense but cannot name, what PCOS actually is and why it goes undiagnosed for so long, and why treating symptoms in isolation so rarely leads to lasting change. You will also hear about her book Healing Beyond the Diagnosis, her podcast PCOS Unfiltered, and the 90-day coaching program she created to help women rebuild their relationship with their bodies from the inside out.  If you have ever felt like something is off but been told your results are normal — this conversation will remind you that you are not broken, and that healing is possible.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me here: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet asks a question that most high-achieving women have never actually stopped long enough to answer honestly. Whose life are you actually living? Not the life that looks impressive from the outside. Not the life other people would say you have. But the life that actually feels like yours, like you designed it. This episode names the identity crisis hiding underneath a life that was built with extraordinary intention — just not around the woman living it. The pattern: succeeding at every expectation that was ever placed on you while the question of what you actually want kept getting deferred to a future season that never quite arrived. The cost: a nervous system, a body, and a capacity for genuine joy that reflect not who you actually are — but who you have spent years performing for everyone else. And the question that this episode is built around — the one that surfaced when the noise finally stopped long enough for you to hear yourself — is the one most women spend their entire lives successfully avoiding. When did what everyone else wanted for you become what you wanted for yourself? This is the fourth and final episode in the April solo series — Living By Design: Health and Vitality on Your Own Terms — and it's for the woman who has designed every area of her life with intention and somehow never applied that same intentionality to the most important question of all. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something. A monthly gathering. No faces. No names. No titles. Just voices and honest conversation about what it actually feels like to be a woman navigating this profession. If I built it — would you come? Send me an email with the words “I’m in for Monthly Gathering” and that will be enough for me to know that you’re interested.  The YES Reset Community: If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Grace Yun, nurse and nutrition coach, for a deeply meaningful and eye-opening conversation about what it truly means to stop managing your health and start restoring it — from the inside out.  With over two decades in clinical care, Grace has dedicated her work to helping women newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes move beyond the prescription pad and into root cause restoration. Through her R.E.S.T. Method and the Blood Sugar Restoration Project, she is guiding women to reduce insulin resistance, reclaim their energy, and rebuild a relationship with their bodies rooted in genuine care rather than symptom control.  In this episode, Grace opens up about what conventional care so often misses when it comes to Type 2 diabetes, how blood sugar imbalance shows up in the daily lives of high-achieving women in ways they may not even recognize, and what becomes possible when a woman finally shifts from managing her condition to addressing what actually caused it. You will also hear Grace share her beautiful philosophy of stewardship — the understanding that this body and this life have been entrusted to us, and that real healing begins when we start caring for it accordingly. If you have been told that managing your diagnosis is the best you can hope for — this conversation will remind you that restoration is not only possible, it’s waiting for you.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me here: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet says something that nobody in your world is probably willing to say directly — the most selfish thing you've been doing lately isn't what you think it is. Leslie explores where the conditioning that tells capable women their needs come last actually comes from, what it's costing the people who love you most when you consistently run on empty, and the inversion that changes everything — it isn't selfish to take care of yourself. It's selfish when you don't. But the thread that runs through the heart of this episode is one most women have never considered. The people watching you most closely aren't just feeling the cost of your depletion. They're learning from it. And the lesson being absorbed — through your daily choices, not your words — is one that could take years to unlearn. This episode is the third in the April solo series — Living By Design: Health and Vitality on Your Own Terms — and it's for the woman who has spent so long taking care of everyone else that she forgot she was someone who needed taking care of too. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Lindsay Friedman, four-time founder and creator of LTCareNav, for a deeply honest and inspiring conversation about what happens when personal pain refuses to stay silent — and becomes the foundation for something that changes everything.  Lindsay has cared for her grandmother, her chronically ill daughter, and Now her parents. Every company she has built exists because she collided with a broken system and refused to accept that this was simply how it had to be. Her current work with LTCareNav is helping families and professionals navigate one of life's most overwhelming seasons — planning for aging and long-term care — before crisis forces the conversation.  In this episode, Lindsay opens up about the invisible emotional weight caregiving places on women, why so few families are prepared for this season until they are already in the middle of it, and what becomes possible when entrepreneurship meets lived experience. You'll hear what it really takes to keep building, keep caring, and keep going — and how one woman's refusal to accept broken is changing the future for millions of families.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me here: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet names something that's become one of the most overlooked patterns in women's health right now — and overlooked in the way that feels helpful and even empowering, right up until it isn't.  Leslie explores why scrolling through health content and finding a story that mirrors your experience feels so much like self-awareness — and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. You'll hear an honest examination of what actually happens when a label moves from something you're considering to something you're identifying with, how borrowed narratives can override your own body's intelligence without you ever noticing the handover, and why the algorithm that served you that content was never designed to understand your body — only to keep you watching.  This episode is the second in the April solo series — Living By Design: Health and Vitality on Your Own Terms — and it's for the woman who researches everything, trusts her own discernment, and may not realize that the most reliable health data she has has been there all along — waiting for her to turn down the noise long enough to hear it. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Ricarda van der Walt, qualified nutritional therapist and mother of four, for a grounded and practical conversation about restoring energy at the root. After navigating her own experience with IBS, stress-related symptoms, and supporting her daughter through eczema, Ricarda turned her personal healing journey into a mission to help busy, worn-out individuals rebuild their health with clarity and confidence.  In this episode, Ricarda shares why so many high-functioning individuals normalize fluctuating energy, digestive discomfort, and low immunity—and what those symptoms may actually be signaling. You’ll hear how gut health and stress are deeply connected, why functional testing can remove the guesswork from your wellness plan, and how small, strategic changes can create steady, sustainable vitality—even in a time-poor life.  If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion and calling it “normal,” this conversation will invite you to reconsider what’s possible when you stop overriding your body and start building real foundations for wellbeing. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet says the thing nobody in your world is probably saying — you need more sleep than you're getting, and the fact that you're still functioning isn't proof that you're fine. Leslie explores why high-achieving women have turned sleep deprivation into a quiet badge of honor, what's actually happening inside a nervous system that never fully restores, and why the cost doesn't show up where you'd expect it to. You'll hear an honest examination of how chronic sleep compromise erodes decision-making, emotional regulation, and the quality of thinking that makes you exceptional — not all at once, but so gradually that the depleted version of you becomes the version you measure everything against. And you'll be introduced to what might be the most expensive confusion a high-achieving woman can carry — the belief that functioning and thriving are the same thing. This episode is the first in the April solo series — Living By Design: Health and Vitality on Your Own Terms — and it's for women who are still delivering, still capable, and quietly running on less than they've been willing to admit. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Hema Crockett, trauma-informed transformational coach, investor, podcaster, and bestselling author, for a rich conversation about honoring your truth, releasing the “shoulds,” and reclaiming your life from autopilot. After decades of checking all the traditional boxes—career, marriage, house, children—Hema had a moment during her IVF journey that made her question whether the life she was building was truly her own.  In this episode, Hema shares how that pivotal realization became the catalyst for recalibrating everything—from success to leadership to identity. You’ll hear how she guides high-achieving women to move from conditioned roles into conscious choices, helping them integrate who they are with how they lead and live.  We also talk about the pressure to compartmentalize, the subtle signs of self-abandonment, and what it really means to recalibrate—not just once, but as a daily act of self-trust.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re living a life that looks right on the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside—this episode will help you start asking the questions that matter most.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what's been quietly going unprotected while you've been building — and why grace is the only thing that can protect it. Leslie reflects on why capable, high-performing women keep reaching for a feeling they can't quite name — the sense of being settled inside what they've built, of moving through complexity without losing themselves in it — and why ambition, endurance, productivity, and toughness, for all that they deliver, were never designed to provide that feeling. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs when grace gets deferred one more time, why the internal climate you've been longing for has been available all along, and what begins to shift when you recognize that grace isn't something you earn after you've proven yourself — it's the foundation you were always allowed to build from. This episode is the final installment in the March solo series — Quality of Life Through the Lens of Grace — and it's for women who've built something real, carry it well, and are beginning to realize that what they've been chasing was never on the other side of the next thing they built. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Frances Helena, Founder and CEO of Beautifully Diverse Fashion, for a moving and inspiring conversation about what happens when one woman decides that beauty, dignity, and belonging are not privileges — they are rights.  Based in Townsville, Australia, Frances has built a global fashion movement that upcycles donated clothes and places them on international runways — including New York Fashion Week — while empowering some of the most vulnerable women in our communities. Domestic violence survivors, cancer warriors, grieving families, and mothers facing body shame are not just her cause — they are the heartbeat of everything she creates.  In this episode, Frances opens up about what called her to this work, how fashion becomes a vehicle for healing and restored confidence, and what it truly takes to build something rooted in compassion on a global stage. You'll hear how she stays grounded in her mission, what these women have taught her about grace and quiet strength, and why she believes every woman — regardless of what she has been through — deserves to take up space in this world.   If you have ever felt unseen, overlooked, or like your story was too much or not enough —this conversation will remind you that you were always worthy of being celebrated.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what it actually costs when softness doesn't feel safe — and what becomes possible when you stop confusing toughness with strength. Leslie reflects on why capable, high-performing women learn to suppress softness in environments where the same behavior gets rewarded in men and penalized in women — and how that double bind quietly erodes your sense of self while your results continue to speak for themselves. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs to operate from constant vigilance, why defaulting to toughness depletes you even when it works, and what begins to shift when you recognize that softness rooted in self-trust isn't weakness — it's the foundation of sustainable power. This episode is for women who've earned their seat, carry significant responsibility, and are beginning to wonder why strength feels like something they have to keep proving instead of something they already are. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Laing Rikkers, award-winning author, entrepreneur, and executive coach, for a deeply human conversation about loss, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to keep living with an open heart.  In this episode, Laing shares how the sudden loss of her sister became the catalyst for Morning Leaves: Reflections on Loss, Grief, and Connection, and how writing began as a private ritual that helped her make sense of pain, beauty, and meaning. Together, they explore the role of creative practices in healing, what it means to carry emotional strength with grace, and how faith, trust, and timing shape the chapters we never planned for.  You’ll hear reflections on rewriting your life after a major transition, honoring what matters most, and staying present to moments of beauty even in uncertain seasons. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that healing doesn’t require fixing—it often begins with allowing.  If you’ve ever found yourself navigating change, holding space for others, or searching for meaning after loss, this episode offers gentle wisdom and reassurance that grace can meet you right where you are.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what happens when productive days don't translate into quality of life—and how that disconnect quietly erodes your experience of living while your days continue to look successful on paper.  Leslie reflects on why capable, high-performing women often measure life by daily productivity instead of daily experience, treating busyness as proof that life is on track and presence as something they'll prioritize once everything else is handled. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs when you optimize for output without protecting quality of life, how days can feel managed instead of lived, and what begins to shift when you ask whether your days are building the life you actually want—not by being less productive, but by recognizing when productivity has been leading when intentional living should be.  This episode is for women who've built something substantial, carry responsibility well, and are beginning to question whether days that look successful should feel this unsustainable to live.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ********************************************************************  If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you because your voice matters in that process.   You have two ways to connect:   1.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Sarah Michelle Boes, author, speaker, and former founder of a multi-million-dollar education company, for a powerful conversation about pressure, leadership, and what grace really looks like in the middle of uncertainty.  Sarah Michelle shares how navigating her daughter’s congenital heart defect reshaped not only her life as a mother, but her identity as a leader and entrepreneur. She speaks candidly about living with OCD and anxiety, learning to work with her nervous system instead of overriding it, and what it took to build, scale, and eventually exiting a multi-million-dollar business without abandoning herself in the process.  In this episode, you’ll hear about ambition and anxiety, integration over bypassing what is hard, and the identity shifts that come with stepping into a new chapter. Sarah Michelle also shares about her newly published children’s book and the advocacy work that grew from her family’s medical journey—creating language that helps families navigate hard conversations with honesty and care.  If you are a high-achieving woman who has ever felt the tension between drive and well-being, strength and softness, success and self-trust—this conversation will meet you right where you are and remind you that grace is not weakness. It is wisdom under pressure.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what it costs internally to sustain success built on endurance instead of grace. This conversation is not about achieving less or building less. It's about what happens when high-achieving women measure success by what they can absorb rather than what they can sustain—and how that pattern quietly erodes quality of life while external achievements continue to grow. Leslie reflects on why capable women often extend grace freely to others but withhold it from themselves, treating endurance as proof of commitment and rest as something to be earned. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs when achievement requires sacrificing your internal ground, how joy becomes conditional instead of present, and what begins to shift when grace is treated as foundational rather than optional. Not by doing more. But by recognizing when endurance has been masking depletion. This episode is a grounded, thoughtful listen for women who've built something substantial, carry responsibility well, and are beginning to question whether success that looks impressive externally should feel this unsustainable internally. ******************************************************************** Connect with me here: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign  ********************************************************************  If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you because your voice matters in that process.  You have two ways to connect: 1.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Drew Ann Long, inventor of Caroline’s Cart and founder of Caroline’s Cause, for a powerful conversation about motherhood, courage, faith, and the quiet strength required to build something the world didn’t yet understand it needed.  In this episode, Drew Ann shares how advocating for her daughter Caroline led her into unfamiliar territory—engineering, patents, manufacturing, and national retail negotiations—without prior experience. What began as a mother’s response to exclusion grew into a movement for dignity and accessibility now present in retailers across the glob.  You’ll hear what perseverance looked like behind the scenes, how she navigated seasons when doors didn’t open quickly, and the role faith and surrender played when the calling felt bigger than her credentials. Drew Ann also opens up about leading through public visibility, protecting her emotional strength while advocating for something deeply personal, and how Caroline’s Cause continues to expand the mission of inclusion.  If you’ve ever wondered whether the challenge in front of you might actually be preparing you for something greater, this conversation will remind you that grace, persistence, and trust often work together in ways we don’t see at first.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet brings together four weeks of exploration into how energy shapes financial decisions—and reveals what actually makes it all sustainable: capacity. This isn't about managing less or scaling back ambition. It's about recognizing the difference between effort and capacity—between what you've built feeling constantly managed versus supported. Leslie explores why effort is often mistaken for capacity, how relying on hustle long-term erodes internal reserves, and why capacity isn't optional—it's foundational. This episode offers a lens for women who manage complexity well but have gotten so good at compensating with effort that they've stopped asking whether their system actually has the capacity to hold it. It's an invitation to include capacity in how you build and sustain everything that matters—not as a luxury, but as what makes it sustainable. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores a pattern many high-achieving women recognize but rarely name: the moment when compensation starts asking you to override your peace. Through her own lived experience of leaving stable roles for opportunities that looked like progress—only to realize she was trading calm for validation—Leslie examines what happens when money begins negotiating against your internal ground. This conversation isn't about walking away from opportunity or doing less. It's about recognizing the difference between responsibility and activation, between decisions that settle and decisions that require constant internal maintenance. Leslie introduces a framework for evaluating wealth not just by numbers or trajectory, but by what it does to your nervous system—whether it preserves your capacity or quietly reorganizes it. You'll hear why urgency often disguises itself as logic, how subtle intrusion compounds over time, and why calm isn't hesitation—it's alignment registering in your body before your mind finishes calculating. This episode offers a diagnostic lens for women who carry responsibility well but have gotten so good at absorbing pressure that they've stopped asking whether they should. It's an invitation to include peace in the wealth equation—not as a luxury, but as non-negotiable. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores the internal dynamic that shapes decisions long before they’re ever visible on paper.  This conversation isn’t about budgeting, investing, or financial tactics. It’s about what happens inside you when responsibility is high, the stakes feel real, and pressure quietly compresses your internal steadiness. Because integrity doesn’t usually falter due to character — it shifts when your internal capacity is strained.  Leslie examines the subtle gap between knowing what matters and having the steadiness to act from it. You’ll hear how pressure overrides values in ways that are easy to miss, why decisions can linger long after they’re made, and how self-trust erodes not through collapse — but through accumulation.  This episode offers a thoughtful, diagnostic lens for women who value integrity, lead with responsibility, and want their decisions to feel clean internally — not just defensible externally. It’s an invitation to notice the internal state shaping your choices, and to consider what changes when steadiness leads.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days  Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores the unseen layer beneath financial decisions…the internal state that shapes how choices are made long before the numbers ever come into play.  This conversation is not about strategy, tactics, or financial advice. It’s about what happens internally when responsibility is high, when decisions matter, and when urgency or steadiness quietly influences how those decisions land. Leslie reflects on why even capable, values-aligned women can experience money decisions as heavier than expected, and how pressure becomes normalized without being questioned.  You’ll hear an honest examination of what it costs to manage decisions internally for too long, how energy depletion subtly affects clarity, and what begins to change when steadiness leads instead of low-grade urgency. Not by doing more. but by noticing the state decisions are coming from.  This episode is a grounded, thoughtful listen for high-performing women who are confident with money, thoughtful in their choices, and curious about how internal energy shapes even the most well-considered financial decisions.  ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days  Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores why so many high-achieving women continue to second-guess themselves even when they know exactly what to do.

This episode is for high-performing women who want to feel grounded, focused, and steady as they move forward—so their momentum feels supported from the inside, not managed through constant self-monitoring. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

Join Leslie Gaudet for a heartfelt roundtable conversation on what it truly means to “have it all” as the year comes to a close, featuring returning guests Diane Konkin, Founder and CEO of Advanced Mind Health, a no-repeat client therapy practice helping high-profile professionals eliminate self-sabotage, intrusive emotions, and substance habits in just 1–2 sessions with a 99% success rate; and Sharlene Styles, founder of PURE Natural Health & Wellness, who guides women to understand their metabolism, balance hormones, support their nervous system, and shift the habits and thoughts that shape how they feel and function. Together, they reflect on the emotional weight of unmet goals, the pressure to measure worth by checked boxes, and the quiet grace it takes to release judgment and honor the journey. This episode is an invitation to reimagine success, not as perfection or performance, but as presence, purpose, and peace. From personal reflections to powerful reframes, Leslie, Diane, and Sharlene explore how high-achieving women can close out the year with clarity and compassion, and step into the new one grounded in what matters most. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough or being enough, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to do more to be whole. You just have to come home to what’s already true for you. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet, Self-Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, names something high-achieving women feel but rarely have language for. Why your energy can feel off on days that look good on paper. If you’re the woman who moves fast, thinks fast, and says yes quickly because it feels clean, capable, and efficient, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way. Leslie breaks down what’s actually happening in the moments before a yes forms, and why awareness alone never stopped the drain. This conversation isn’t about boundaries, discipline, or slowing yourself down. It’s about how access to your energy is being decided in real time, and how small, reasonable decisions quietly spread your focus, dilute your momentum, and leave you feeling thinner by the end of the day even when nothing went wrong. You’ll hear why your energy isn’t disappearing, where it’s actually going, and what changes when your decisions are designed instead of reactive. Not as a checklist. Not as rules. But as a shift that finally explains why everything else felt incomplete. This episode is for the woman who wants her energy to stay with her, her decisions to feel finished, and her pace to feel supported from the inside, so her days stop costing more than she ever intended. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, host Leslie Gaudet, Self-Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, breaks down why your energy can feel off even on days when everything looks right on paper. If you’re the woman who moves fast, decides fast, and says yes fast because it feels efficient and responsible, this episode will help you see what’s really happening in those moments. Leslie explores how small, reasonable yeses can slowly spread your energy across the day, making your focus harder to hold and your momentum more effortful than it needs to be. You’ll hear why this isn’t about discipline, boundaries, or slowing down, but about how access to your energy is being decided in real time. Leslie walks you through what’s happening just before a yes forms, how those micro-decisions shape your entire day, and what it looks like to redesign how your energy is protected without changing your pace. This episode is for the woman who wants her energy to stay with her, her decisions to feel complete, and her momentum to feel supported from start to finish — not something she has to recover from later. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.
