What If the Way You Learned to Succeed Is No Longer the Way Forward?

What If the Way You Learned to Succeed Is No Longer the Way Forward?

Join Leslie Gaudet for a reflective solo episode about the moment you realize the way you learned to succeed may no longer be the way forward. In this episode, Leslie explores the old rules many women carry in professional and entrepreneurial spaces. Be dependable. Be prepared. Be easy to count on. Say yes when you’re needed. Prove you can handle the room. Prove you deserve the seat. Those rules may have helped you build credibility, trust, opportunity, and success. But there may come a point when the same rules that helped you rise begin asking for more access to your energy than you want to keep giving. Leslie also shares why energy has to come before time, how your yes can reveal what you’ve been overriding, and how this connects to her Resilience and Energy Mastery work, including The YES Reset Method™. This conversation is for the woman standing at the edge of a new season, wondering what old rule she has outgrown but is still obeying because it once helped her succeed. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign] leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com  ******************************************************************** 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.

Sacha Hughes: When the Biggest Love Story of Your Life Turns Out to Be Your Own

Join Leslie Gaudet and Sacha Hughes, author and storyteller, for a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about what it truly looks like to find your way back to yourself after life has taken you completely apart. Sacha's journey is not a polished success story. It is something far more real. After losing her mother, navigating a high-pressure career in London recruitment, divorce, and single parenting, she spent years lost in grief, self-sabotage, and the desperate search for love in all the wrong places. And then, slowly and imperfectly, she began to choose herself. In this episode, Sacha opens up about what self-sabotage actually looks like from the inside and what it finally took to recognize the patterns she had been living, how grief unravels everything we think we know about ourselves and the unexpected gifts it can leave behind, and why humor has been one of her most powerful tools for opening doors that shame tends to keep firmly closed. If you have ever found yourself somewhere in the middle of a messy, unfinished chapter and wondered if you will ever find your way through — this conversation is your reminder that you will. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign] leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com [leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com] ******************************************************************** 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.

When Success Still Makes Sense, But Something in You Wants More Room

Join Leslie Gaudet for a reflective conversation about the moment when the life you built still works on paper, but something in you begins asking whether it still fits the life you want to live. In this episode, Leslie closes out the June series on Building an Extraordinary Life by exploring why extraordinary can’t be reduced to one image of success. Through her guest conversations around career, home, support, business, service, freedom, and quality of life, she looks at the tension between admiring someone else’s version of success and telling the truth about what would actually feel true for you. Leslie also shares the question this series brought up in her own life as she continues building her coaching business, her podcast, The Faceless and Nameless Gatherings, her collaborations, and the work she feels called to do: not only what am I building, but what is this building making room for? This conversation is for the woman whose life still makes sense, whose responsibilities are real, and whose accomplishments matter, but who has started noticing that functioning is not the same as fit. Nothing has to be falling apart for her to realize that the life she has built may be asking for more of her than she wants to keep giving. If you have ever wondered whether the life that once supported you is still meant to stay at the center, this episode invites you to ask a different question: What does an extraordinary life mean to you when no one else is defining it? ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign] leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com  ******************************************************************** 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.

Kirsten Graham: How the Right Foundation Unlocks the Extraordinary Life You Keep Putting Off

Join Leslie Gaudet and Kirsten Graham, business strategist and outsourcing expert, for an honest and empowering conversation about what it truly means to stop surviving your business and start building the extraordinary life you actually envisioned when you started it. With a decade of experience helping entrepreneurs build businesses that work for their lives — not against them — Kirsten has guided countless women through the process of putting the right systems, support, and foundations in place so they can finally grow with confidence and clarity.  In this episode, Kirsten opens up about the why behind her mission, why delegating does not mean giving up control but rather leaning into someone else's expertise while you remain firmly in charge, and why so many entrepreneurs try to scale before their foundation is actually ready to hold the weight of their vision. You will hear why women often believe the lie that they have to know how to do everything in their business before they can let go of it, what becomes possible when a woman finally builds the right support team around her, and a beautiful story about one virtual assistant whose life changed because of the work Kirsten and her business partner do.   If you have been running your business on sheer determination and wondering why it still does not feel like freedom — this conversation will show you exactly what has been missing and what becomes possible when you finally build it right. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign] leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com  ******************************************************************** 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.

Two Sides of the Coin: When What You WANT and What Feels SAFE Are Both True

Join Leslie Gaudet for a deeply honest conversation about the kind of decision that feels hard not because you do not know what you want, but because what you want and what feels safe are both true. In this episode, Leslie shares the tension she has been sitting with as she continues building her coaching business, her podcast, the Gatherings, and the work she feels called to do, while still holding onto the legal work that provides dependable income, predictability, and stability. Through her own experience of living in beautiful Playa del Carmen while realizing that many of her days still happen from the same chair, in front of the same screen, Leslie opens up about the quiet ache of creating a life that supports you, only to realize it may no longer leave enough room for you to fully live it. This conversation explores what happens when there is no obvious villain, no dramatic collapse, and nothing you can point to as proof that something has to change. Just the honest recognition that what once worked may have done its job, and the life you want now may be asking for something different. If you have ever known what you wanted and still found yourself hesitating because the safe choice still mattered, this conversation will help you stop turning the pause into evidence against yourself. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign] leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com  ******************************************************************** 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.
