In Kami Guildner’s work with women entrepreneurs, she sees something beautiful unfolding. Women who have built real success are beginning to look at their businesses through a new lens. They are no longer only asking how to grow more… they are asking who they are becoming as they grow. They are asking how their business can support the life they desire, the impact they feel called to make, and the way they want to live and lead every day.

There is a deep wisdom in that moment. A recognition that success is not just what you build, but how your business holds you. How it supports your energy, your relationships, your vision, and your next level of leadership.

Today, Kami is joined by Mara Whitener. Mara has walked this path herself. She spent years knowing she was meant for something bigger, searching for how to live her purpose without sacrificing everything else in her life. What she discovered, and what she now teaches, is that spaciousness is not something you earn later. It is something you design now.

In This Episode:

Mara Whitener helps women run and grow their business without jeopardizing their relationships, or costing them their health and peace. She works with clients who feel pulled in a million different directions, hitting consistent ceilings and bottlenecks, and spending more time putting out fires than acting as the visionary and leader of their business. With 20 years spent building, growing, and selling 6 and 7 figure businesses, she helps identify the hidden problem and missing puzzle piece in current operations. When that is solved, everything shifts. Businesses begin to sustain themselves with less output, creating more time, space, joy, and freedom.

Her clients scale and grow their businesses with a more feminine, abundant approach. Her community of entrepreneurs is creating a new paradigm of entrepreneurship, helping each other raise up in a ripple effect of impact. Her clients have gone on to reach extraordinary heights as consultants, coaches and leaders – achieving exponential revenue growth, landing on big stages, starting software companies, launching new professional organizations, transforming corporate cultures and transforming lives. They are influential and they are changemakers.

In Kami Guildner’s work with women entrepreneurs and leaders, she is seeing a powerful shift. Many accomplished women are stepping back and reexamining the models of success that once shaped their careers and businesses. The pace, the pressure, the constant push for more growth and more output are no longer the only measures of success. Women are asking deeper questions about how they want to lead, how they want to work, and what prosperity really means in this next chapter.

Today’s conversation lives right inside that moment.

She is joined by Chelle Johnson, founder of Best You Talent Advisors. Chelle works with high-achieving executives and leaders navigating transition, reinvention, and the evolution of their next chapter. After decades inside complex organizations advising senior leaders and shaping talent strategy, she now helps accomplished women bring both strategic clarity and deep wisdom to the way they design their careers, businesses, and lives.

In This Episode:

Chelle Johnson is a first-generation college graduate who grew up with limiting beliefs, fear, and dysfunction. Through faith, resilience, grit, and determination, she achieved executive leadership roles in Talent Acquisition and Human Resources at Fortune 50 companies, including Comcast, Lockheed Martin, Quest Diagnostics, and Honeywell. She has lived and worked in Asia and Latin America, acquired her MBA, and speaks Spanish and English. She now helps SMBs through Fractional Talent Strategies and Retained Recruitment. She is also an Executive Career Coach who guides high achievers to discover and amplify their strengths and purpose and realize abundance.

The post The Great Recalibration: How Women Are Redefining Leadership and Success in a Changing World with Chelle Johnson appeared first on Kami Guildner.

Across Kami Guildner’s conversations with women entrepreneurs, she senses a calling that many of us are feeling. A calling to lead differently. To trust our inner knowing more deeply. To move beyond the constant swirl of strategies and opinions and reconnect with the deeper wisdom that lives inside each of us.

What she sees again and again with the women she works with is that the next level of leadership begins inside. It grows from the way we relate to our own authority, the way we make decisions, and the way we hold ourselves as leaders.

Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Kerry Borcherding who has spent more than two decades studying psychology, neuroscience, and transformational leadership, helping founders and entrepreneurs upgrade their internal operating system so they can lead with clarity, coherence, and wisdom.

In this conversation, they explore what is actually shifting in business and leadership right now, how leaders can recognize the true signal from the noise, and what it takes to reclaim our authority in a world that constantly pulls us outward.

In This Episode:

Kerry Borcherding is the Co-Founder of Evolve Institute and a pioneer in 5D Leadership. She built her career knowing leadership could feel different, not effort-driven, not performative, and not defined by burnout. With over two decades in psychology, neuroscience, and transformational leadership, Kerry has guided hundreds of leaders through reinvention, expansion, and sustainable growth. Her conviction is simple: inner development isn’t a soft skill, it’s the most underutilized competitive advantage in business. When leaders upgrade their internal operating system, friction dissolves and growth accelerates. Known for helping leaders become the CEO of their own inner world.

I am thrilled to have this episode with my dear friend Joya Sosnowski, who will touch your heart like it touched mine.

Joya shares her journey of losing her son and what unfolded on the other side. We talk about the neuroscience of grief, the mystic path that opened for her, and how grief—when we meet it fully—can become a portal to our own awakening. Joya’s story is full of wisdom, presence, and radical grace.

Rev. Dr. Joya Sosnowski is a writer, podcaster, grief-walker, ritualist, and Sacred Sound practitioner who guides women through the Mystic Path to self-realization.

Through rituals, grief circles, and That Mystic Sisterhood, she helps women transform pain into wisdom, wounds into strength, and grief into grace.
