Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Lauren Cashatt. After years in a successful corporate career, she began to feel a deeper pull toward something more meaningful.

Women who have built success and are beginning to feel that pull toward something more aligned, more meaningful, and more connected to who they are becoming.

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: What opens up when you begin shaping your business to truly support the life you desire and the way you want to live and lead How to create a business that holds your energy, your vision, and your next level of leadership in a more expansive way A powerful way to bring clarity to your next steps so you can move forward with intention instead of pressure What becomes possible when you create more spaciousness in your business and allow yourself room to think, lead, and grow differently How to make aligned decisions about what stays, what evolves, and what you’re ready to release What it looks like to design your business in a way that supports both your ambition and your life Where to begin when you feel that inner knowing that something more is available and you’re ready to create your next chapter 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.

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: Why so many accomplished women are stepping back to question the definition of success they once worked so hard to achieve, and what is shifting in how leadership, prosperity, and power are being redefined right now What happens internally when the model that built your success no longer fits who you’ve become, and how to recognize the moment you’ve outgrown your own success How the rapid rise of AI and technology is reshaping the workplace, and why women’s voices, wisdom, and human-centered leadership are more essential than ever How to navigate the tension between ambition and capacity, and begin recalibrating the pace and pressure of your work without losing your results, your edge, or your strategic strength The difference between burnout and misalignment, and how to understand what your experience is truly asking of you as a leader How integrating strategy with intuition and wisdom creates a more aligned, grounded way of leading and making decisions Where to begin when you feel something shifting inside your leadership and know you’re ready for your next chapter, even if you don’t have all the answers yet 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.

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: Why so many women are feeling the call to recalibrate how they lead, grow, and make decisions in their business How to move beyond the constant swirl of strategies, opinions, and noise and reconnect with your own inner knowing What it really means to lead from within and why your next level of leadership begins with your inner world The subtle, everyday ways women give their authority away and what it looks like to fully reclaim it Why trusting yourself is becoming one of the most important leadership skills in this season of business How joy, connection, and resonance are becoming powerful drivers of growth and client attraction The difference between operating from fear and separation versus leading from connection, awareness, and heart Why creating intentional spaces for connection and community is part of how we shift business forward A powerful reframe for this season, moving from constantly fixing problems to creating entirely new realities 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.

This quarter on Extraordinary Women Radio, we are exploring recalibration. What it means to realign how we lead, how we build, and how we define success in this season of business. Over the past year, Kami Guildner watched so many extraordinary women quietly reassess what matters. She has felt it in her own business, too. The pace. The priorities. The way we measure success. Recalibration is not about starting over. It’s about refining what is true now. It’s about leading from wisdom instead of pressure and allowing our work to reflect who we’ve become. Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Ronda Renée for a conversation about recalibrating from the inside out, aligning leadership with soul, and exploring what becomes possible when success is built on congruence and alignment. Kami and Ronda have long shared soul-centered conversations, and it was Ronda who helped Kami crystallize her three pillars—Vision, Voice, and Visibility—into her work. For anyone sensing a quiet recalibration happening within, this episode will meet them there. In This Episode: Learn why more women leaders are questioning the pace and pressure of traditional business models and choosing alignment over constant output How loss, change, and major life transitions reshape leadership in ways success alone never can What it looks like to lead through seasons by honoring capacity, energy, and nervous system health as part of business strategy The shift from performance-based visibility to visibility rooted in meaning, truth, and lived experience How women are releasing how business “should” work in order to build something more honest, humane, and sustainable What rooted leadership looks like in practice and why self-awareness, boundaries, and presence now matter more than titles How intuition and embodied decision-making are becoming essential tools for women leading at higher levels Why legacy is no longer defined only by milestones, but by how leadership is practiced daily The permissions women are being invited to claim in this season as they step into deeper visibility and influence Ronda Renee believes that in a world facing unprecedented challenges from political transitions to global conflicts, climate crises, and societal divides the discovery of purpose is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. When individuals align with their soul’s purpose, they create personal fulfillment and also contribute to the collective healing and progress needed in these demanding times. Her work helps people find their unique role in addressing today’s complexities with clarity, courage, and compassion. Since 2009, she has guided thousands of spiritual and industry leaders worldwide to uncover their Divine Contribution and live lives of deep meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

As women cross into 2026, Kami Guildner reflects on a year of listening to hundreds of women entrepreneurs and the truth that 2025 set the foundation for what is unfolding now, a year when women became more clear, more intentional, and more rooted, listening more closely to their inner wisdom, making decisions from a deeper place of knowing, and stepping into a new way of growing their businesses that brings together grounded presence, lived wisdom, voice, visibility, and leadership that is ready to be seen and felt in the world. In This Episode: Kami explores the insights gathered from a year-long listening campaign with established women entrepreneurs and how those conversations revealed what is shaping business growth, leadership, and visibility in 2026. Why 2025 became a year of recalibration for many women in business, marked by simplifying offers, refining focus, and choosing meaningful growth over constant noise and pressure. How relationship-driven marketing, trust, referrals, and warm visibility are becoming the primary drivers of sustainable revenue and aligned client attraction. The shift away from hustle and algorithm chasing toward building businesses rooted in connection, integrity, and long-term trust. The concept of the feminization of time and how women entrepreneurs are redefining productivity by prioritizing energy, capacity, nervous system health, and spaciousness as strategic assets. Reflective prompts designed to help you identify what is rising in your business, where you are ready to be seen, and what form of prosperity and leadership you are ready to claim next.

Every woman has felt the quiet tension between what she knows she brings to the table and what she actually gets paid. Today, Kami Guildner and Markey Read talk about what it really means to be paid what you’re worth, why so many women hesitate to claim their value, and how pricing decisions ripple far beyond our bank accounts into our confidence, families, and communities.

In This Episode: Why so many accomplished women underprice their expertise, and what actually shifts this How to factor decades of lived experience, education, and results into your pricing Why “industry standard” pricing is a trap and what matters more for a thriving business The real cost of discounting yourself financially and energetically How strengths and leadership style influence the offers you create and the work you are built to lead Why niching deeper often leads to more revenue, more joy, and better clients What it looks like to build a business that pays you properly for the value you create Markey Read is a pricing expert and seasoned business strategist who has spent over 25 years helping women solopreneurs get paid what they’re truly W.O.R.T.H.

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.

If you’ve been feeling the shift in how women are selling, leading, and showing up… this episode is going to meet you right where you are. We are in a moment where the old models of sales no longer fit, and yet the new ones ask us to bring more of ourselves — our intuition, our energy, our truth — into the work. Kami Guildner is joined by Lauren Shaw, one-half of The Laurens, whose work is helping women sell high-ticket offers in a way that feels grounded and soul-aligned. Lauren has personally sold over $5 million in premium coaching programs, and she brings a refreshing, feminine lens to both sales and technology. This is a conversation about selling with more resonance. Leading with more truth. And letting AI be a tool that amplifies your brilliance — not overrides it. In This Episode: Lauren’s journey as a nomad entrepreneur building a thriving business while traveling the world, and how time in nature and deep reflection helped her listen to her resistance, reconnect her spirituality with her work, and reclaim more joy in her business. The creation of the Quantum Breakthrough GPT, how it “listened” to her story, reflected her truth back, and helped her own the spiritual side of her work. Why AI can be a powerful mirror for our inner stories, and why Lauren calls it the most feminine technology we have ever had. How thousands of women have used the Quantum Breakthrough GPT to dissolve resistance, book sales calls, and say yes to higher-level opportunities. The energetic side of selling, and why so many heart-centered women carry invisible contracts around worthiness, receiving money, and visibility. Why strategy cannot fully work until we start to rewrite the internal stories that shape how we show up to sales and marketing. Simple ways to start playing with AI so it becomes a supportive partner in your life and business, instead of something to fear. Lauren Shaw is one half of the entrepreneurial duo known as “The Laurens.” She’s a heart-first sales expert who has personally sold over $5 million in premium coaching programs by turning sales calls into grounded, meaningful conversations. As co-founder of The Sales Breakthrough Experience™ and The AI Sales Accelerator™, Lauren and her business partner, Lauren Capwell, help women entrepreneurs master high-ticket sales without feeling fake or forceful. Their work blends intelligent sales strategy with the energetic and subconscious shifts that make selling feel natural and aligned. Lauren has walked this path herself, and she’s here to share that journey with us today. About the Host: Kami Guildner believes women’s voices matter. She is a connector. A storyteller.

Inside the Women’s Impact Investing Giving Circle, where women become investors in women entrepreneurs through low-interest, values-driven capital that fuels sustainable, women-led businesses. How WFCO’s unique approach to restructuring and renegotiating loans keeps women entrepreneurs supported, steady, and able to grow even when the economy makes it hard to stay afloat.

What’s your exit plan? We pour so much of ourselves into building our businesses—our time, our energy, our vision. But far too often, we don’t think about how we’ll leave them.
