  • When Success No Longer Feels Fulfilling: Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be with Karrie Mitten

    What happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels like the life you’re meant to keep living?

    Today, Kami Guildner sits down with her client Karrie Mitten for a deeply personal conversation about becoming, trusting the inner knowing that calls us toward something more, and having the courage to take the step even when we can’t see exactly where it will lead.

    Karrie shares her journey from a successful corporate career that looked good on the outside but left her feeling unfulfilled, to finally listening to the voice inside that had been telling her for years she was here to make an impact. They explore what it means to embody the woman you are becoming, why transformation happens from the inside out, and the power of surrounding yourself with women who are growing and stretching alongside you.

    In This Episode:

    • How to know when the life or business you’ve built no longer fits the woman you’re becoming
    • Why the answers you’re looking for may already be inside you, and how to hear them beneath all the outside voices
    • What it takes to trust yourself when the path ahead isn’t fully mapped out
    • Why knowing what you want to change isn’t enough, and how embodiment creates transformation that lasts
    • How old patterns around worthiness, overworking, and proving yourself can quietly shape the choices you’re making
    • Why creating space can be one of the most powerful things you do when life changes your plans
    • How to recognize the stretch that is asking you to grow without letting fear make the decision for you
    • Why the women you surround yourself with matter when you’re stepping into a bigger version of your life, leadership, and work
    • What becomes possible when you stop looking outside yourself for permission and start answering the call that has been there all along
    • Why taking the step before you know exactly how it will unfold can open the path to what you’re here to create

    • When Your Voice Becomes a Movement: How Women Entrepreneurs Can Use Visibility to Create Greater Impact with Yev Muchnik

      Kami Guildner believes visibility is leadership. Our voices carry our ideas into the world, start conversations, build relationships, and bring people together around something that matters. Movement making happens when those ideas begin to travel beyond us and when others see themselves in the vision and help carry it forward.

      Today, Kami is joined by Yev Muchnik, founder of Launch Legal, who has been at the forefront of new ways of thinking about how we build businesses, how we share ownership, and how to bring more people into what we are creating. When war broke out in Ukraine, she used her visibility and relationships in the technology community to bring people together, helping create a global grassroots effort that raised millions for humanitarian needs. That’s visibility as leadership. That’s movement making.

      In This Episode:

      • How to think about visibility as leadership and use your voice to start conversations, build relationships, and bring people together around something that matters
      • What it takes for your ideas to begin traveling beyond you and how community can help your work grow into something bigger than you
      • How women entrepreneurs can build businesses differently by bringing more voices to the table, creating more collaborative models, and opening new possibilities for ownership and leadership
      • Why your relationships and visibility can become powerful catalysts for action when you use them intentionally to gather people around a shared purpose
      • What becomes possible when women step into positions of leadership and intentionally open doors for other women to join them, contribute their ideas, and lead
      • Why you don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room to create influence, and how finding your own way of expressing your ideas gives your voice power
      • How mentorship, relationships, and sharing our stories can create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond our own businesses
      • The question for every woman with important work in the world: What could your voice set in motion, who could you bring together, and what becomes possible when the work you’re here to do becomes bigger than you?

      • Women Backing Women: How Female Entrepreneurs Build Wealth, Visibility, and Bigger Businesses with Beth Mazza

        We’re stepping into a new quarter on Extraordinary Women Radio, and the theme is Visibility and Movement Making. This is a conversation Kami Guildner cares deeply about because visibility at its highest level is leadership. It’s using your voice to carry an idea into the world, gathering people around something that matters, and allowing your work to become bigger than you. And when women use their visibility to open doors for other women, we begin to shift what is possible for all of us.

        Today, Kami is joined by Beth Mazza, a serial entrepreneur and international keynote speaker who has built and sold multiple companies. Now Beth is taking everything she has learned and putting it behind a much bigger mission, helping 10,000 women build seven-figure businesses and financial freedom. What happens when a woman takes everything she has learned, everything she has built, and turns her visibility toward creating possibility for thousands of other women? That’s movement making.

        In This Episode:

        • How to think bigger about the business you are building and give yourself permission to create greater wealth and financial freedom
        • Why doing the math on your bigger vision can help you see what is actually possible, from raising your prices to replacing your corporate salary or building toward seven figures
        • How to create personal non-negotiables that allow you to build a successful business that also supports the life, relationships, and time you value most
        • Why your relationships can become one of your greatest business assets, and how to build your own “kitchen cabinet” of people who offer wisdom, open doors, and help you grow
        • How taking the right risks and making small, intentional shifts can open the door to your next level of business growth
        • What becomes possible when women back other women, share what they have learned, and use their success to create greater possibility for those coming behind them
        • How doing one hard thing, having one meaningful conversation, and staying connected to a measurable goal can keep you moving toward the business and impact you are here to create
        • Beth Mazza is a serial entrepreneur and international keynote speaker dedicated to empowering women to break free from corporate constraints and build thriving, scalable million-dollar businesses. As the founder of Ashton Partners and Clermont Partners, Beth has successfully built and sold businesses – her first being at the age of 28 – valued at $40 million. With over three decades of experience in business and finance, she’s counseled industry-leading brands like Coca-Cola, NY Times, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Transocean, Five Below, and The Real Real. Currently, she’s the co-founder and driving force behind Female Mavericks, a vibrant membership community offering online and in-person coaching.

          • Why so many women are already leading but still hesitate to fully see themselves as leaders. 
          • What shifts when women stop waiting for confidence, certainty, or permission and begin trusting who they already are.

          • How identity shapes every decision we make and why stepping into a new level of leadership begins from the inside out. 
          • What the “messy middle” looks like when you’re growing beyond an old version of yourself and into your next evolution.
          • Why women create greater impact when they stop trying to earn their worth and begin expressing it.
          • How asking better questions can change the way you lead your business and your life.
          • Why leadership creates healthier boundaries, better decisions, and businesses that reflect who you truly are.

          • Jessica Jaramillo and Michelle Fournier are transformational coaches, speakers, and co-founders of The Presario Group.

Combining neuroscience, personal development, leadership coaching, and spiritual principles, they guide women through powerful identity shifts that lead to greater confidence, fulfillment, visibility, and impact. Through coaching, retreats, workshops, and speaking, Jessica and Michelle inspire women to remember who they are, trust themselves deeply, and step boldly into their purpose.

              This quarter on Extraordinary Women Radio, Kami Guildner is stepping into conversations around authority and prosperity.

              • The Power of the Pause: How Conscious Leaders Lead with Presence Through Change and Growth with Chris Johnson

                As Kami Guildner continues her theme exploring the Great Recalibration, she returns to the power of the pause. The pause is where leadership begins. It is where we reconnect with ourselves, come back to our energy and presence, and choose how we show up in the moments that matter most. In her work with women entrepreneurs and leaders, she sees how much women are holding right now and how leadership asks them to stay steady within a fast-moving world. When we are grounded in ourselves, there is a different quality to how we lead, with more intention and a deeper trust in navigating what is in front of us.

                Kami is joined by Chris Johnson, who has been in deep conversation with leaders across industries, listening closely to what it actually feels like to lead right now. Through her report Still In It and the launch of her companion book of practices to The Leadership Pause, she brings forward what leaders are carrying beneath the surface and offers a way to build presence, access steadiness in real time, and lead with greater awareness in the moments that matter most.

                In This Episode:

                • What becomes possible when you allow yourself to pause, reconnect with your breath, and lead from a more grounded, embodied place
                • How tuning into your nervous system supports clearer thinking, steadier decision-making, and more intentional leadership
                • A new way to navigate uncertainty that doesn’t rely on pushing harder, but instead creates space for clarity, confidence, and creativity
                • What leaders are discovering right now as they slow down and listen more deeply to what is happening beneath the surface
                • How the practice of the pause opens the door to more aligned decisions, stronger presence, and a deeper trust in yourself as a leader
                • Simple, practical ways to use breath, awareness, and embodiment to return to yourself in real time, especially in moments that matter most
                • What shifts when you lead from presence and connection, and how that changes the way your team, clients, and community experience you
                • How creating space for yourself allows you to access new insight, vision, and possibility in both your leadership and your life
                • Chris Johnson is the founder of Q4 Consulting Inc. and the Core Presence Institute and is passionately committed to learning and cultivating exemplary leaders and collaborative teams, healthy workplaces, and engaged, thriving communities. Chris has worked extensively for over 30 years with leaders and their teams to effectively grapple with system-wide change. She’s coached executives and managers to cultivate their leadership presence and strategic thinking, and to surface and creatively engage with conflict through powerful conversations. Chris is committed to creating feedback-rich environments to develop excellence in leadership that results in transformational change and embodied action towards results that matter.

                • How Women Are Expanding Capacity and Growing Sustainably with Sarah Walton

                  Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Sarah Walton, a business strategist and receiving expert who has spent nearly two decades helping women recalibrate their relationship with money, power, and visibility. Sarah brings a clear and honest perspective to something many women experience but don’t always name. It’s not the strategy that breaks down. It’s the capacity to hold the level of success being created. In this conversation, they explore what happens after success… the patterns that show up beneath the surface… and what it takes to build from a place of power, self-trust, and sustainability in this next season of leadership.

                  In This Episode:

                  • Why so many women are feeling exhausted right now and what is actually sitting beneath the surface, including the unseen weight of emotional labor and over-delivering
                  • What it really takes to create more income and impact, and why capacity matters more than strategy in this next level of growth
                  • How to recognize when you are holding too much and what begins to open when you allow yourself to release what no longer belongs to you
                  • What happens after big wins and why confidence can drop even when things are going well, including how your nervous system responds to expansion
                  • How your body becomes a powerful guide in your business and how learning to listen to it changes how you lead and make decisions
                  • The story we carry beneath the surface and how it quietly shapes our decisions, our success, and what we believe is possible for us
                  • What begins to shift when you raise your standards and start choosing yourself in the small, everyday moments
                  • Why deep human connection is becoming even more important in business and how staying true to your voice matters more than ever in a world of AI and automation 
                  • Sarah Walton is a 17-year business strategist and receiving expert who helps high-achieving women recalibrate their relationship with money, power, and visibility. Featured on The Today Show and international stages, she’s known for her precision coaching style — spotting the pattern beneath the problem and shifting it fast.

Lora brings a unique and thoughtful perspective to this moment as an attorney, speaker, and coach, as well as through her ability to channel a body of wisdom known as The Librarians—offering insight into what is happening in our world right now and what leaders are being asked to step into.

                    In this conversation, they explore what Lora is hearing, what this season of recalibration is asking of women, and how women can begin to trust themselves more deeply as they navigate what’s ahead.

                    • How self-betrayal shows up in business, especially in formulaic strategies that pull women away from their natural way of connecting and leading

                    • How Women Are Starting Meaningful Work and Following What Matters Most with Lauren Cashatt

                      Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Lauren Cashatt. After years in a successful corporate career, she began to feel a deeper pull toward something more meaningful. Through personal experiences and what she witnessed in the lives of people she loved, that calling became clear: to create support for families and individuals navigating substance use disorder.

                      And alongside that work, she now coaches women who are in that very moment of transition. Women who have built success and are beginning to feel that pull toward something more aligned, more meaningful, and more connected to who they are becoming. She helps them take what can feel like an overwhelming inner nudge and begin to shape it into something real, something they can build, lead, and grow with intention.

                      In This Episode:

                      • Why so many women are feeling called to something more, and how to trust that pull even when you don’t yet see the full path forward
                      • How to begin turning what’s been on your heart into something real without walking away from everything you’ve already built
                      • What it looks like to follow a deeper calling and create meaningful impact, including how Lauren built a nonprofit to support individuals and families navigating substance use disorder
                      • A grounded way to move forward when your life is already full, so you can take aligned steps without adding more overwhelm
                      • What becomes possible when you simplify your focus and create space for what truly matters in your work and your life
                      • Why starting before you feel ready and allowing it to be imperfect is what creates momentum and opens the door to growth
                      • How following your heart and your desire to serve leads to work that feels more meaningful, energizing, and aligned
                      • What it takes to trust your vision and move forward even when the people around you don’t fully understand it yet
                      • Lauren Cashatt is a business and leadership mentor, wellness professional, and founder of The Million Mile Project. With more than 15 years of experience coaching, consulting, and scaling ventures from Hollywood productions to leadership retreats, she brings a grounded, strategic lens to every room.
