Ladies Who Leap | Midlife Reinvention, Confidence & Purpose for Women Over 40

Have you ever wondered...

Who am I now?

Whether you've been laid off, retired, become an empty nester, or simply know you're meant for something more, this conversation is proof that your next chapter may become your greatest one.

In this inspiring episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, Lisa Andria welcomes transformational coach Bronwyn Gorman, who spent over 30 years leading corporate supply chain operations before unexpectedly finding herself asking one life-changing question:

"Who am I without my career?"

After her company closed its West Coast operations, Bronwyn could have searched for another executive position. Instead, she listened to the quiet voice inside that had been calling her toward coaching for years.

Together, Lisa and Bronwyn explore:

✔ How losing your career can feel like losing your identity

✔ Why women often underestimate themselves

✔ Reinventing yourself after retirement, layoffs, or major life transitions

✔ Moving beyond fear and self-doubt

✔ The importance of purpose in your second chapter

✔ Building confidence one step at a time

✔ Why it's truly never too late to change direction

Bronwyn also shares the incredible story of her mother, who became a widow with four children, returned to nursing school at age 48, and celebrates her 100th birthday—a beautiful example of resilience, courage, and lifelong growth.

If you've ever questioned whether it's too late to pursue your dreams...

This episode is for you.

Your greatest leap may still be waiting.

Have you ever wondered how some entrepreneurs seem to be everywhere... while others remain the best-kept secret in their industry?

In this inspiring episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria sits down with podcast publicity expert Christina Lenkowski to explore how one leap completely transformed her business—and how podcast guesting can become one of the most powerful marketing strategies available today.

After years working in public relations, Christina experienced what she believed was a major business setback. Instead of giving up, she trusted her intuition, embraced podcast interviews, and built an entirely new business helping entrepreneurs become recognized experts through strategic podcast publicity.

Together, Lisa and Christina discuss:

✔ Why podcast guesting builds trust faster than traditional marketing

✔ The difference between owned, earned and paid media

✔ How one "failure" became Christina's biggest breakthrough

✔ Why visibility is essential for business growth

✔ How podcasts continue generating leads years after an interview airs

✔ Why asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness

✔ The mindset needed to step outside your comfort zone and leap into something new

Christina also shares practical tips for maximizing every podcast interview, repurposing your content for SEO and social media, and creating lasting authority in your industry.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, coach, author, speaker, or simply someone looking to build confidence and increase your visibility, this conversation is filled with actionable strategies and inspiring life lessons.

One of Christina's favorite reminders perfectly captures the spirit of this episode:

What happens when a man is diagnosed with a disease most people think only affects women?

In recognition of Men's Health Month, host Lisa Andria welcomes Jake Messier, known online as The Guy with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, for a powerful conversation about awareness, advocacy, resilience, and the importance of speaking up about men's health.

When Jake discovered a lump while putting on deodorant, breast cancer was the last thing on his mind. Like many men, he never imagined he could develop a disease often associated exclusively with women. Today, Jake is using his voice to break the stigma surrounding male breast cancer and help other men feel less alone.

This episode is not only for men—it's for the women who love them. Wives, partners, mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends often play a critical role in encouraging the men in their lives to pay attention to their health and seek medical care when something doesn't seem right.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✅ Why male breast cancer is often diagnosed later than female breast cancer

Whether you've been affected by cancer or simply want to support the men in your life, this conversation is a powerful reminder that awareness saves lives.

As Jake shares:

"Nothing happens unless we say the hardest things out loud."
