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

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
