The impact our relationships have on our energy, our leadership, and the work we’re called to do in the world is something that every woman leading a business carries.

Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Dr. Jeni Wahlig. She brings a refreshing perspective rooted in science, soul, and lived experience. Her work speaks to entrepreneurs because when your relationship feels heavy, unclear, or out of sync, it doesn’t stay in one corner of your life. It spills into your creativity, your confidence, and your capacity to show up for your mission.

Dr. Jeni Wahlig, relationship rebel, empowerment expert, and intuitive infinite possibilities guide, is on a mission to revolutionize women’s experience of marriage so they can finally receive the powerful love their soul (and success) deserve. She is the co-founder of PowerfuLove Relationships and co-creator of the PowerfuLove Method, a proven approach to creating deeply connected, next-level love (even if one partner isn’t on board yet). With nearly 20 years of experience, a PhD in Couple & Family Therapy, and an international speaking career, Dr. Jeni blends science, soul, and straight talk. Together with her partner Calvin, she is living and leading a movement that redefines what’s possible in love, life, and leadership through relational mastery.

Have you ever felt, deep in your bones, that the version of success you were chasing was no longer yours to carry? Melissa Bauknight had that moment twice. On the outside, she was a top-ranked corporate sales leader, but inside, it all cracked open. Her body. Her identity. Her carefully curated life. That breaking open became her becoming.

In this episode, Kami Guildner and Melissa Bauknight talk about the power of community for women entrepreneurs, the courage it takes to step into your truth, and how women are reshaping business and leadership by leading with authenticity, purpose, and connection.

Melissa Bauknight is a business mentor, community builder, and founder of The Nova—a global network of soul-led women who are rewriting the rules of leadership, power, and success. A former top-ranked corporate sales leader turned feminine leadership catalyst, Melissa blends strategy with soul to help ambitious women build movements, not just businesses. Melissa has coached and mentored thousands of women across the globe, spoken on stages about purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and built one of the fastest-growing chapter-based women’s ecosystems in the country—all while raising a family, healing her body, and telling the truth about what it actually takes to rise. When she’s not mentoring women into their next level, she’s hiking in Colorado, hosting circles that feel like sacred homecomings, and reminding every woman she meets: You’re not confused. You’re learning to trust what you’ve known all along.
