Join Leslie Gaudet and Sacha Hughes, author and storyteller, for a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about what it truly looks like to find your way back to yourself after life has taken you completely apart.
Sacha's journey is not a polished success story. It is something far more real. After losing her mother, navigating a high-pressure career in London recruitment, divorce, and single parenting, she spent years lost in grief, self-sabotage, and the desperate search for love in all the wrong places. And then, slowly and imperfectly, she began to choose herself.
In this episode, Sacha opens up about what self-sabotage actually looks like from the inside and what it finally took to recognize the patterns she had been living, how grief unravels everything we think we know about ourselves and the unexpected gifts it can leave behind, and why humor has been one of her most powerful tools for opening doors that shame tends to keep firmly closed.
If you have ever found yourself somewhere in the middle of a messy, unfinished chapter and wondered if you will ever find your way through — this conversation is your reminder that you will.

Join Leslie Gaudet for a reflective conversation about the moment when the life you built still works on paper, but something in you begins asking whether it still fits the life you want to live.
In this episode, Leslie closes out the June series on Building an Extraordinary Life by exploring why extraordinary can’t be reduced to one image of success. Through her guest conversations around career, home, support, business, service, freedom, and quality of life, she looks at the tension between admiring someone else’s version of success and telling the truth about what would actually feel true for you.
Leslie also shares the question this series brought up in her own life as she
continues building her coaching business, her podcast, The Faceless and
Nameless Gatherings, her collaborations, and the work she feels called to do: not only what am I building, but what is this building making room for?
This conversation is for the woman whose life still makes sense, whose
responsibilities are real, and whose accomplishments matter, but who has
started noticing that functioning is not the same as fit. Nothing has to be
falling apart for her to realize that the life she has built may be asking for
more of her than she wants to keep giving.
If you have ever wondered whether the life that once supported you is still meant to stay at the center, this episode invites you to ask a different question: What does an extraordinary life mean to you when no one else is defining it?

Join Leslie Gaudet and Kirsten Graham, business strategist and outsourcing expert, for an honest and empowering conversation about what it truly means to stop surviving your business and start building the
extraordinary life you actually envisioned when you started it.
With a decade of experience helping entrepreneurs build businesses that
work for their lives — not against them — Kirsten has guided countless women through the process of putting the right systems, support, and foundations in place so they can finally grow with confidence and clarity.
In this episode, Kirsten opens up about the why behind her mission, why
delegating does not mean giving up control but rather leaning into someone else's expertise while you remain firmly in charge, and why so many entrepreneurs try to scale before their foundation is actually ready to hold the weight of their vision. You will hear why women often believe the lie that they have to know how to do everything in their business before they can let go of it, what becomes possible when a woman finally builds the right support team around her, and a beautiful story about one virtual assistant whose life changed because of the work Kirsten and her business partner do.
If you have been running your business on sheer determination and
wondering why it still does not feel like freedom — this conversation will show you exactly what has been missing and what becomes possible when you finally build it right.

Join Leslie Gaudet for a deeply honest conversation about the kind of decision that feels hard not because you do not know what you want, but
because what you want and what feels safe are both true.
In this episode, Leslie shares the tension she has been sitting with as she continues building her coaching business, her podcast, the Gatherings, and the work she feels called to do, while still holding onto the legal work that provides dependable income, predictability, and stability.
Through her own experience of living in beautiful Playa del Carmen while realizing that many of her days still happen from the same chair, in front of the same screen, Leslie opens up about the quiet ache of creating a life that supports you, only to realize it may no longer leave enough room for
you to fully live it.
This conversation explores what happens when there is no obvious villain, no dramatic collapse, and nothing you can point to as proof that
something has to change. Just the honest recognition that what once worked may have done its job, and the life you want now may be asking for something different.
If you have ever known what you wanted and still found yourself
hesitating because the safe choice still mattered, this conversation will help you stop turning the pause into evidence against yourself.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Kim Costa, Top 5% Realtor® and creator of The Wheel House Method, for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation about the powerful relationship between the spaces we live in and the extraordinary lives we’re building.
Kim's journey to this work is anything but ordinary. She built Clarity Farm from scratch — a beautiful property that ultimately left her feeling isolated and disconnected. And then she won an essay contest for The Oprah Winfrey Show and made the bold decision to decline filming because her home simply didn’t reflect her true self. Those two defining moments became the foundation for everything she now does.
In this episode, Kim opens up about how she developed The Wheel House Method — a framework that evaluates homes across eight life dimensions including career, finance, health, relationships, and spirituality — and why she believes our homes are either actively supporting our extraordinary lives or quietly working against them. You’ll hear what it truly looks like to make a bold, aligned home decision from a place of deep self-knowledge, how financial intelligence and personal alignment must work together, and what her book reveals about the gap between how homes look and how they actually make us feel.
If you have ever walked through your front door and felt like something was just not quite right — this conversation will help you finally understand why, and what to do about it.

Join Leslie Gaudet for an honest conversation about the space many high-achieving women find themselves in but rarely talk about openly: the space between realizing something in their life no longer fits and understanding why they haven't been able to change it yet.
In this episode, Leslie explores what happens when awareness doesn't automatically lead to movement, why so many capable women turn their lack of action into evidence against themselves, and the private conclusions they begin drawing about who they are simply because a season has taken longer than they expected. Through reflection and
lived experience, she invites listeners to consider whether the problem isn't a lack of clarity at all, but the meaning they've attached to still being in the middle of becoming.
If you've ever thought, I should've figured this out by now, or wondered why knowing something isn't working hasn't been enough to change it, this conversation will remind you that just because this season has taken longer than you expected, it doesn't mean you've failed.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Stacy Heisey-Terrell, Career Ownership Coach and HR veteran, for an honest and empowering conversation about what it really takes to stop fitting yourself into a career that was never built for you — and start designing one that actually is.
After decades in HR across demanding industries, Stacy experienced firsthand the burnout, broken promises, and unexpected disruptions that so many high-achieving women quietly endure. Rather than starting over from scratch, she made a bold, intentional move — and built the balanced, fulfilling work life she once only imagined. Now she helps other women do the same through her Career 2.0 framework.
In this episode, Stacy opens up about reconnecting with your values and strengths after years of adapting yourself to fit a role, how to build real autonomy without trading one form of pressure for another, and what separates the women who make the bold career move and land well from those who stay stuck at the edge of it.
If you've been quietly wondering whether there's a version of your career that actually fits who you are today — this conversation will remind you that it's not only possible, it's waiting for you.

Join Leslie Gaudet for a deeply personal conversation about the moments
when something in your life keeps asking for your attention, and you can't
quite explain why.
In this episode, Leslie explores the frustration of feeling like you're
having the same conversation with yourself over and over again. The recurring thought. The recurring feeling. The recurring frustration that continues showing up long before you fully understand what it's trying to tell you.
Drawing from her own experience, Leslie shares how she began recognizing a pattern of clarity, frustration, clarity, frustration—and what happened when she finally stopped long enough to look at the evidence instead of continuing to move past it.
You'll hear why so many high-achieving women mistake negotiation for
clarity, how recurring patterns often reveal more than we realize, and why
curiosity may be more powerful than certainty when it comes to understanding what keeps showing up in our lives.
If you've ever felt like something keeps getting your attention but you
haven't fully figured out what it means yet, this conversation is for you.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Stephanie Jones, Time Management and
Productivity Coach and founder of the Growth Room and the Wealth Building Room, for a bold and energizing conversation about what it truly means to build a business — and a life — completely on your own terms.
Stephanie's story is not your typical entrepreneurship journey. After leaving a high-control religious environment and coming out as a lesbian
at 27, she rebuilt her entire identity from the ground up. That experience of
releasing everything that was never hers to carry became the foundation for the no-fluff, results-driven work she now does with hundreds of women every day.
In this episode, Stephanie opens up about what it actually takes for women to stop shrinking and start leading with their full, unfiltered
voice, why so many smart and capable entrepreneurs get stuck in the messy middle longer than they need to, and what sustainable scaling really looks like when you refuse to sacrifice your health, relationships, or freedom to get there. You will also hear about the Growth Room and the Wealth Building Room — and what becomes possible for women when they finally step into spaces designed to move them from confusion and inconsistency to clarity, confidence, and cash flow.
If you have ever felt like you are working harder than ever but still not quite there — this conversation will show you exactly what has been
getting in the way and what it looks like to finally claim your seat at the
table.

What happens when the woman teaching other people to honor themselves realizes she hasn’t fully been honoring herself?
In this deeply personal solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet opens up about the emotional and physical cost of becoming the infrastructure for everything she’s building — from podcasting, coaching, and content creation to supporting a law firm and carrying the invisible labor that comes with being the one everyone depends on.
This is the final episode in the May solo series — Influence with Integrity — and it’s an honest conversation about the gap that can slowly form between what we teach, what we value, and how we’re actually living.
Leslie shares the internal negotiation so many high-achieving women quietly live inside:
• the pressure to keep going,
• the discomfort around asking for support,
• the normalization of exhaustion, and
• the moment she realized her body was asking her
to stop overriding the very truths she teaches other women to honor.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve become the nervous system for everything around you…this conversation will likely feel very personal.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Dr. Mickell Dent, licensed mental health therapist, EMDR clinician, transformational coach, and TEDx speaker, for a raw, honest, and deeply empowering conversation about what it truly means to unmask, heal, and step into the most authentic version of yourself.
Dr. Dent is the creator of the ABC Theory, founder of Boss Fly Girls, and the driving force behind GLOW 414 — a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring and supporting youth and young adults through education and mental wellness. Her TEDx talk on the masks we wear has sparked conversations that so many women have needed but never known how to start.
In this episode, Dr. Dent opens up about the most common masks high-achieving women wear and the real cost of keeping them on, how EMDR and inner child work help women break patterns they have been carrying for years, and what it truly looks like to lead and influence from a place of radical authenticity rather than performance.
If you have ever felt like the mask you put on to survive has started to feel like your real face — this conversation is your invitation to finally take it off.

What happens when the coach knows something the client doesn’t fully know yet? And what happens when the honest conversation about fit
becomes harder than accepting the payment?
In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores the deeper layer underneath the growing trust recession inside the coaching industry — not just from the client side, but from the responsibility coaches carry when influence, money, discernment, and
integrity all meet in the same conversation.
This is the fourth episode in the May solo series — Influence With Integrity — and it’s for every coach, mentor, leader, or service provider who has ever had to wrestle with the difference between someone being willing to say yes…and someone truly being ready for the room they’re asking to
enter.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Anisa Crespo, co-founder of Million Dollar Mom Inc., for a bold and inspiring conversation about what it truly means to build influence with integrity — and why visibility, when used with purpose and faith, becomes one of the most powerful forces for lasting change.
Anisa built a seven-figure empire in under a year while raising twins and leading with faith — and through Million Dollar Mom Inc., she has created an entire ecosystem designed to elevate women into wealth, leadership, and legacy. From The Million Dollar Room luxury mastermind to the Million Dollar Media Group and Million Dollar Network, her platforms are giving women the visibility, mentorship, and community they need to scale with clarity and confidence.
In this episode, Anisa opens up about what led her to create this movement, what it truly takes for a mom to step into her millionaire identity without losing herself in the process, and what she believes is the difference between being seen for reach versus being seen for real impact.
If you have been waiting for permission to use your voice, claim your platform, and build the legacy you were always meant to leave — this conversation is your sign.

You made the decision thoughtfully. You weighed the risks. You trusted yourself enough to move forward. And then the outcome didn’t unfold
the way you hoped.
Now, suddenly, every future decision started carrying more
pressure. More hesitation. More internal reviewing.
Because somewhere along the way, disappointing outcomes stopped feeling like experiences…and started feeling like evidence.
In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what happens when high-achieving women begin attaching
identity to outcomes, and how painful decisions can quietly reshape the
relationship they have with their own judgment and self-trust moving forward.
This is the third episode in the May solo series — Influence with Integrity — and it’s for every woman who has ever replayed a decision long after it ended…not because you were still evaluating the decision itself, but because some part of you was still trying to determine what the outcome meant about you.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Maggie Marcus, education equity leader and Executive Director of the Sullivan Family Charitable Foundation, for a thoughtful conversation about influence, integrity, and expanding opportunity through systems change.
Maggie shares how her work began in the classroom, where she witnessed talented multilingual students navigating barriers that had nothing to do with ability—and how that experience shaped her commitment to advancing equity at a broader level. From empowering bilingual educators to guiding philanthropic partnerships that create lasting impact, Maggie offers a grounded perspective on what it truly means to lead with responsibility.
In this episode, you’ll hear how she defines influence in the context of education and philanthropy, how she approaches visibility without centering herself, and what conscious impact looks like when making funding and partnership decisions. Maggie also speaks to the resilience required to stay anchored to mission-driven work—and what she hopes the next generation of women leaders understands about success, equity, and using their voice with purpose.
If you care about shaping the systems around you in meaningful ways—and leading with clarity, intention, and integrity—this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something. A monthly gathering. No faces. No names. No titles. Just voices and honest conversation about what it actually feels like to be a woman navigating this profession. If I built it — would you come? Send me an email with the words “I’m in for Monthly Gathering” and that will be enough for me to know that you’re interested.
The YES Reset Community: If you are a woman in law and you would like to share your perspective as I build The YES Reset Community, I would love to hear from you because what I create will be shaped by what you're actually experiencing. You can send me an email to share what resonated or ask any questions. I read every message. And if you're willing to go a little deeper, you can complete a brief feedback form that will help me build this with your actual experience in mind.

You found a way to finally say the true thing online. The honest question. The real experience. The thing you'd never post under your own name.
You said it anonymously.
And it landed. People responded. They said yes, exactly, thank you for saying this.
And for a moment you felt what it's like to be heard as yourself.
Except nobody knew it was you.
In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet examines the anonymous filter — not as a social media habit, but as something far more significant. Because the filter that feels like protection is doing something to you that you never signed up for. Not to your reach. Not to your visibility. But to your relationship with your own voice. To your ability to trust yourself to speak. To the version of you that existed before the mask became the default.
This episode doesn't tell you to take the filter off. It asks a more important question first.
Do you still know you're wearing it?
This is the second episode in the May solo series — Influence with Integrity — and it's for every woman who has learned that speaking her truth in professional spaces has a price. And who has been paying a different kind of price ever since.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Laetitia Bouffard-Roupe, internationally awarded model, movement artist, and published muse, for a breathtaking conversation about creativity, authentic influence, and what it truly means to stay anchored in your values while building a career that has taken you across 87 countries and onto stages around the world.
Trained at the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet School and a former performer with Cirque du Soleil, Laetitia has built a six-figure creative career rooted in grace, precision, and timeless storytelling — one that has seen her immortalized in bronze sculptures, featured on international
magazine covers, and published across five fine art photo books.
In this episode, Laetitia opens up about the defining moments that shaped her path, how she has stayed rooted in her boundaries and values
while navigating some of the world's most demanding creative industries, and what she has learned about the kind of influence that does not require noise or performance — only presence and intention. She also shares the story behind her newest photo book UNSEEN, a stunning collection of images that could not exist anywhere but in print, and why she believes art has the power to move people toward their own dreams in ways that words alone never could.
If you have ever felt pressured to show up as something other than yourself — this conversation is a quiet but powerful reminder that your most meaningful impact begins exactly where authenticity meets intention.

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
stopped buying. And while that's part of the story — it's not the whole story.
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,
personal development or any investment in their own growth. The quiet verdict you reached about your own judgment. And the research loop you've been running ever since, not because you need more information, but because you stopped trusting the woman doing the discerning.
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
you while the question of what you actually want kept getting deferred to a future season that never quite arrived.
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
wanted for yourself?
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
never applied that same intentionality to the most important question of all.
