HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design

Join Leslie Gaudet and Lauren Golen, embodiment teacher, breath-based practitioner, and coach to founders and women leaders, for a deeply honest and powerful conversation about what is really running everything underneath decades of high performance, and what becomes possible when a woman finally learns to listen to her body before her mind catches up. 

With thirty years of body and breath-based practice and her own experience leading through real consequence, Lauren works at the intersection of embodiment, discernment, and faith. She doesn’t add better frameworks on top of existing patterns. She goes underneath them to the place where the real work has always been waiting. 

In this episode, Lauren opens up about the pattern that keeps showing up

If you have ever felt successful and somehow still not free, this conversation will help you understand why. And where to start.

Monthly Gathering: I built the space I have been sitting on for a while now — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something. No faces. No names. No titles. Just voices and honest conversation. We have already held our first gathering and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. If you want to join us for the next one, send me an email with the words "I'm in for Monthly Gathering" and I will make sure you are on the list.

Some weeks are genuinely busy. But what happens when “I just need to get through this week” becomes the sentence you keep repeating every week?

In this solo episode, Leslie talks about burnout, chronic stress, energy

For high-performing women who are used to handling a lot, the early signs of burnout don’t always look like falling apart. Sometimes you’re still working, meeting deadlines, answering emails, and getting everything done while exhaustion, irritability, mental overload, and lack of presence are becoming part of your normal week.

This isn’t about never working hard. It’s about recognizing when a busy season has become a pattern and when pushing through is starting to affect your energy, wellbeing, work, relationships, and quality of life.

Because the real question may not be: Can I handle it?

It may be: What’s it costing me to keep proving that I can?

Join Leslie Gaudet and Rena Duell, business coach at One TEAM Partners and 25-year entrepreneur, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what burnout really costs — and what becomes possible when a woman finally decides to build her business and her life differently.

Rena knows this journey from the inside out. After years of juggling leadership, motherhood, and constant demands, she hit a breaking point that impacted her health and forced her to completely rethink how she was living and working. That breakdown became her breakthrough and today she is the coach she wished she had back then.

In this episode, Rena opens up about what hitting that wall actually looked like for her and the moment she knew something had to fundamentally change, why she believes you are the ceiling of your own business's success and what it truly takes to grow past it, and how her three-pillar approach of Awareness, Structure, and Habit creates sustainable results that stick long after the coaching ends.

If you have been running on empty and telling yourself this is just the price of building something — this conversation is going to show you there is another way.

There are moments when the woman everyone sees and the evidence you can point to don’t seem to tell the same story.

You speak with confidence. People trust what you know. You have created something real. And privately, you wonder:

Am I becoming this woman, or am I pretending to be her?

In this deeply honest episode, Leslie explores the tension between an established identity with decades of proof and an emerging one still being built. She speaks openly about business, revenue, time, the pressure to have arrived by now, and what it means to become someone different before the evidence feels undeniable.

This is not a conversation about defeating imposter syndrome. It is a reflection on what is true, what remains unfinished, and who gets to decide when you have enough proof to claim the woman you are becoming.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Jacqueline T. Hill, strategic marketing advisor and fractional CMO, for a refreshingly direct conversation about what it truly means to build a business that doesn’t just make money — but keeps it.

Jacqueline brings a rare perspective to this conversation — 17 years as an educator and Principal combined with nearly three decades in marketing. Where most focus on generating more leads, she focuses on what happens after the lead converts. Her work centers on profit margins, client retention, and the internal systems that determine whether a business grows sustainably or constantly chases its own tail.

In this episode, Jacqueline breaks down why so many businesses are quietly leaking revenue without realizing it, what it takes to shift from hustle-driven to profit-first, and how her EMOTE Method™ identifies exactly where a business is losing money — before prescribing how to fix it.

If you have been working hard but still feel like you are chasing rather than building — this one is for you.

Balance.

Alignment.

They're two words we hear all the time. We chase them, talk about them, and often measure ourselves against them.

But what if we've never stopped to ask what they actually mean?

In this episode, Leslie explores why our definition of a balanced and aligned life isn't meant to stay the same forever. As we grow and move through different seasons, the questions life asks of us begin to change—and perhaps our definitions should, too.

This isn't an episode about finding the perfect balance.

It's an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider whether the life you're building still fits the woman you're becoming.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Carolyn Jahnke, Founding Attorney and CEO of Athena Legal Solutions, for a refreshingly honest and empowering conversation about what it truly means to build a woman-owned business on a foundation that is not just successful but genuinely protected, sustainable, and built to last.

With more than 20 years of experience inside nonprofits, startups, and corporate organizations, Carolyn brings a perspective to legal strategy that most attorneys simply cannot offer — one that is grounded in the real-world realities of running and growing a business rather than the fear-based messaging that keeps so many women entrepreneurs avoiding legal conversations altogether.

In this episode, Carolyn opens up about what led her to found Athena Legal Solutions and why she built it specifically for women entrepreneurs, what it truly means to have a long-term legal partner rather than a reactive one, and why she believes strong legal foundations are not about restriction or perfection but about creating freedom and real options for the future.

If you have been building something meaningful but have been avoiding the legal side of your business because it feels overwhelming or not urgent enough yet — this conversation is going to change the way you think about what it means to truly protect what you are creating.

What happens when a capable woman can tell the truth only after

In this episode, Leslie reflects on the growing number of intelligent, accomplished women using the anonymous filter to share what they’re

This conversation explores the tension between being known and being honest, why a written post can’t always carry what a human voice can, and

No face. No name. No title. Just you.

If you’ve ever needed to remove your identity before you could say what was true, this conversation is for you. Your voice deserves somewhere to land before your name, role, or reputation decides how much of it is safe to

Join Leslie Gaudet and Tina Hughes, immigration attorney, law firm owner, and business coach, for a straight-talking and deeply empowering conversation about what it truly means to build a law firm (and a life) that doesn’t require you to sacrifice one for the other.

Tina spent years doing everything herself, feeling the relentless pressure of constant growth and the weight of a business that depended entirely on her. And then she made a bold, deliberate decision to change everything. By implementing strong systems, restructuring her pricing and workflow, and making the identity shift from attorney to CEO, she built a multi-seven-figure firm while working a fraction of the hours she once did.

In this episode, Tina opens up about what that strategic shift actually required of her, why so many talented women attorneys struggle to step into their CEO role even when they know it’s necessary, and what gets in the way of women charging what their work is truly worth. You’ll also hear what her life actually looks like now compared to where she was, and what she wants every exhausted, overwhelmed woman in professional practice to know about what’s truly possible.

If you’ve been building a successful business but somewhere along the way you’ve lost yourself in it, this conversation is going to remind you that you were never meant to choose between the two.

In this episode, Leslie Gaudet explores the moment when a request sounds reasonable, your calendar can technically make room, and yet something in you already knows the yes is going to cost more than anyone else can see.

For the woman who knows how to adjust, rearrange, compress, and make things work, capability can become hard to question. The work gets done. The deadline is met. The people around you are supported. But somewhere in the middle of making room for everything and everyone else, the things that mattered to you may have quietly been moved again.

Leslie invites you into a deeper conversation about energy, alignment, and the private math behind the yeses that look simple from the outside. This isn’t about becoming unavailable or saying no to everything. It’s about noticing the moment before your ability to make it work becomes the reason you keep moving yourself out of the way.

If you have ever agreed before your energy had a chance to speak, this episode will meet you there.
