HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design

Join Leslie Gaudet and Lindsay Friedman, four-time founder and creator of LTCareNav, for a deeply honest and inspiring conversation about what happens when personal pain refuses to stay silent — and becomes the foundation for something that changes everything. Lindsay has cared for her grandmother, her chronically ill daughter, and Now her parents. Every company she has built exists because she collided with a broken system and refused to accept that this was simply how it had to be. Her current work with LTCareNav is helping families and professionals navigate one of life's most overwhelming seasons — planning for aging and long-term care — before crisis forces the conversation. In this episode, Lindsay opens up about the invisible emotional weight caregiving places on women, why so few families are prepared for this season until they are already in the middle of it, and what becomes possible when entrepreneurship meets lived experience. You'll hear what it really takes to keep building, keep caring, and keep going — and how one woman's refusal to accept broken is changing the future for millions of families. ******************************************************************** Connect with me here: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet names something that's become one of the most overlooked patterns in women's health right now — and overlooked in the way that feels helpful and even empowering, right up until it isn't. Leslie explores why scrolling through health content and finding a story that mirrors your experience feels so much like self-awareness — and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. You'll hear an honest examination of what actually happens when a label moves from something you're considering to something you're identifying with, how borrowed narratives can override your own body's intelligence without you ever noticing the handover, and why the algorithm that served you that content was never designed to understand your body — only to keep you watching. This episode is the second in the April solo series — Living By Design: Health and Vitality on Your Own Terms — and it's for the woman who researches everything, trusts her own discernment, and may not realize that the most reliable health data she has has been there all along — waiting for her to turn down the noise long enough to hear it. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** 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.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Ricarda van der Walt, qualified nutritional therapist and mother of four, for a grounded and practical conversation about restoring energy at the root. After navigating her own experience with IBS, stress-related symptoms, and supporting her daughter through eczema, Ricarda turned her personal healing journey into a mission to help busy, worn-out individuals rebuild their health with clarity and confidence. In this episode, Ricarda shares why so many high-functioning individuals normalize fluctuating energy, digestive discomfort, and low immunity—and what those symptoms may actually be signaling. You’ll hear how gut health and stress are deeply connected, why functional testing can remove the guesswork from your wellness plan, and how small, strategic changes can create steady, sustainable vitality—even in a time-poor life. If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion and calling it “normal,” this conversation will invite you to reconsider what’s possible when you stop overriding your body and start building real foundations for wellbeing. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** 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.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet says the thing nobody in your world is probably saying — you need more sleep than you're getting, and the fact that you're still functioning isn't proof that you're fine. Leslie explores why high-achieving women have turned sleep deprivation into a quiet badge of honor, what's actually happening inside a nervous system that never fully restores, and why the cost doesn't show up where you'd expect it to. You'll hear an honest examination of how chronic sleep compromise erodes decision-making, emotional regulation, and the quality of thinking that makes you exceptional — not all at once, but so gradually that the depleted version of you becomes the version you measure everything against. And you'll be introduced to what might be the most expensive confusion a high-achieving woman can carry — the belief that functioning and thriving are the same thing. This episode is the first in the April solo series — Living By Design: Health and Vitality on Your Own Terms — and it's for women who are still delivering, still capable, and quietly running on less than they've been willing to admit. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** 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.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Hema Crockett, trauma-informed transformational coach, investor, podcaster, and bestselling author, for a rich conversation about honoring your truth, releasing the “shoulds,” and reclaiming your life from autopilot. After decades of checking all the traditional boxes—career, marriage, house, children—Hema had a moment during her IVF journey that made her question whether the life she was building was truly her own. In this episode, Hema shares how that pivotal realization became the catalyst for recalibrating everything—from success to leadership to identity. You’ll hear how she guides high-achieving women to move from conditioned roles into conscious choices, helping them integrate who they are with how they lead and live. We also talk about the pressure to compartmentalize, the subtle signs of self-abandonment, and what it really means to recalibrate—not just once, but as a daily act of self-trust. If you’ve ever felt like you’re living a life that looks right on the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside—this episode will help you start asking the questions that matter most. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what's been quietly going unprotected while you've been building — and why grace is the only thing that can protect it. Leslie reflects on why capable, high-performing women keep reaching for a feeling they can't quite name — the sense of being settled inside what they've built, of moving through complexity without losing themselves in it — and why ambition, endurance, productivity, and toughness, for all that they deliver, were never designed to provide that feeling. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs when grace gets deferred one more time, why the internal climate you've been longing for has been available all along, and what begins to shift when you recognize that grace isn't something you earn after you've proven yourself — it's the foundation you were always allowed to build from. This episode is the final installment in the March solo series — Quality of Life Through the Lens of Grace — and it's for women who've built something real, carry it well, and are beginning to realize that what they've been chasing was never on the other side of the next thing they built. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** 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.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Frances Helena, Founder and CEO of Beautifully Diverse Fashion, for a moving and inspiring conversation about what happens when one woman decides that beauty, dignity, and belonging are not privileges — they are rights. Based in Townsville, Australia, Frances has built a global fashion movement that upcycles donated clothes and places them on international runways — including New York Fashion Week — while empowering some of the most vulnerable women in our communities. Domestic violence survivors, cancer warriors, grieving families, and mothers facing body shame are not just her cause — they are the heartbeat of everything she creates. In this episode, Frances opens up about what called her to this work, how fashion becomes a vehicle for healing and restored confidence, and what it truly takes to build something rooted in compassion on a global stage. You'll hear how she stays grounded in her mission, what these women have taught her about grace and quiet strength, and why she believes every woman — regardless of what she has been through — deserves to take up space in this world. If you have ever felt unseen, overlooked, or like your story was too much or not enough —this conversation will remind you that you were always worthy of being celebrated. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what it actually costs when softness doesn't feel safe — and what becomes possible when you stop confusing toughness with strength. Leslie reflects on why capable, high-performing women learn to suppress softness in environments where the same behavior gets rewarded in men and penalized in women — and how that double bind quietly erodes your sense of self while your results continue to speak for themselves. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs to operate from constant vigilance, why defaulting to toughness depletes you even when it works, and what begins to shift when you recognize that softness rooted in self-trust isn't weakness — it's the foundation of sustainable power. This episode is for women who've earned their seat, carry significant responsibility, and are beginning to wonder why strength feels like something they have to keep proving instead of something they already are. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** 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.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Laing Rikkers, award-winning author, entrepreneur, and executive coach, for a deeply human conversation about loss, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to keep living with an open heart. In this episode, Laing shares how the sudden loss of her sister became the catalyst for Morning Leaves: Reflections on Loss, Grief, and Connection, and how writing began as a private ritual that helped her make sense of pain, beauty, and meaning. Together, they explore the role of creative practices in healing, what it means to carry emotional strength with grace, and how faith, trust, and timing shape the chapters we never planned for. You’ll hear reflections on rewriting your life after a major transition, honoring what matters most, and staying present to moments of beauty even in uncertain seasons. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that healing doesn’t require fixing—it often begins with allowing. If you’ve ever found yourself navigating change, holding space for others, or searching for meaning after loss, this episode offers gentle wisdom and reassurance that grace can meet you right where you are. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what happens when productive days don't translate into quality of life—and how that disconnect quietly erodes your experience of living while your days continue to look successful on paper. Leslie reflects on why capable, high-performing women often measure life by daily productivity instead of daily experience, treating busyness as proof that life is on track and presence as something they'll prioritize once everything else is handled. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs when you optimize for output without protecting quality of life, how days can feel managed instead of lived, and what begins to shift when you ask whether your days are building the life you actually want—not by being less productive, but by recognizing when productivity has been leading when intentional living should be. This episode is for women who've built something substantial, carry responsibility well, and are beginning to question whether days that look successful should feel this unsustainable to live. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you because your voice matters in that process.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Sarah Michelle Boes, author, speaker, and former founder of a multi-million-dollar education company, for a powerful conversation about pressure, leadership, and what grace really looks like in the middle of uncertainty. Sarah Michelle shares how navigating her daughter’s congenital heart defect reshaped not only her life as a mother, but her identity as a leader and entrepreneur. She speaks candidly about living with OCD and anxiety, learning to work with her nervous system instead of overriding it, and what it took to build, scale, and eventually exiting a multi-million-dollar business without abandoning herself in the process. In this episode, you’ll hear about ambition and anxiety, integration over bypassing what is hard, and the identity shifts that come with stepping into a new chapter. Sarah Michelle also shares about her newly published children’s book and the advocacy work that grew from her family’s medical journey—creating language that helps families navigate hard conversations with honesty and care. If you are a high-achieving woman who has ever felt the tension between drive and well-being, strength and softness, success and self-trust—this conversation will meet you right where you are and remind you that grace is not weakness. It is wisdom under pressure. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores what it costs internally to sustain success built on endurance instead of grace. This conversation is not about achieving less or building less. It's about what happens when high-achieving women measure success by what they can absorb rather than what they can sustain—and how that pattern quietly erodes quality of life while external achievements continue to grow. Leslie reflects on why capable women often extend grace freely to others but withhold it from themselves, treating endurance as proof of commitment and rest as something to be earned. You'll hear an honest examination of what it costs when achievement requires sacrificing your internal ground, how joy becomes conditional instead of present, and what begins to shift when grace is treated as foundational rather than optional. Not by doing more. But by recognizing when endurance has been masking depletion. This episode is a grounded, thoughtful listen for women who've built something substantial, carry responsibility well, and are beginning to question whether success that looks impressive externally should feel this unsustainable internally. ******************************************************************** Connect with me here: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign ******************************************************************** If you are a woman in law and you would like to learn more about The YES Reset Community, my private, invitation-only community for women in the legal profession, I would love to hear from you because your voice matters in that process.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Drew Ann Long, inventor of Caroline’s Cart and founder of Caroline’s Cause, for a powerful conversation about motherhood, courage, faith, and the quiet strength required to build something the world didn’t yet understand it needed. In this episode, Drew Ann shares how advocating for her daughter Caroline led her into unfamiliar territory—engineering, patents, manufacturing, and national retail negotiations—without prior experience. What began as a mother’s response to exclusion grew into a movement for dignity and accessibility now present in retailers across the glob. You’ll hear what perseverance looked like behind the scenes, how she navigated seasons when doors didn’t open quickly, and the role faith and surrender played when the calling felt bigger than her credentials. Drew Ann also opens up about leading through public visibility, protecting her emotional strength while advocating for something deeply personal, and how Caroline’s Cause continues to expand the mission of inclusion. If you’ve ever wondered whether the challenge in front of you might actually be preparing you for something greater, this conversation will remind you that grace, persistence, and trust often work together in ways we don’t see at first. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet brings together four weeks of exploration into how energy shapes financial decisions—and reveals what actually makes it all sustainable: capacity. This isn't about managing less or scaling back ambition. It's about recognizing the difference between effort and capacity—between what you've built feeling constantly managed versus supported. Leslie explores why effort is often mistaken for capacity, how relying on hustle long-term erodes internal reserves, and why capacity isn't optional—it's foundational. This episode offers a lens for women who manage complexity well but have gotten so good at compensating with effort that they've stopped asking whether their system actually has the capacity to hold it. It's an invitation to include capacity in how you build and sustain everything that matters—not as a luxury, but as what makes it sustainable. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores a pattern many high-achieving women recognize but rarely name: the moment when compensation starts asking you to override your peace. Through her own lived experience of leaving stable roles for opportunities that looked like progress—only to realize she was trading calm for validation—Leslie examines what happens when money begins negotiating against your internal ground. This conversation isn't about walking away from opportunity or doing less. It's about recognizing the difference between responsibility and activation, between decisions that settle and decisions that require constant internal maintenance. Leslie introduces a framework for evaluating wealth not just by numbers or trajectory, but by what it does to your nervous system—whether it preserves your capacity or quietly reorganizes it. You'll hear why urgency often disguises itself as logic, how subtle intrusion compounds over time, and why calm isn't hesitation—it's alignment registering in your body before your mind finishes calculating. This episode offers a diagnostic lens for women who carry responsibility well but have gotten so good at absorbing pressure that they've stopped asking whether they should. It's an invitation to include peace in the wealth equation—not as a luxury, but as non-negotiable. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores the internal dynamic that shapes decisions long before they’re ever visible on paper. This conversation isn’t about budgeting, investing, or financial tactics. It’s about what happens inside you when responsibility is high, the stakes feel real, and pressure quietly compresses your internal steadiness. Because integrity doesn’t usually falter due to character — it shifts when your internal capacity is strained. Leslie examines the subtle gap between knowing what matters and having the steadiness to act from it. You’ll hear how pressure overrides values in ways that are easy to miss, why decisions can linger long after they’re made, and how self-trust erodes not through collapse — but through accumulation. This episode offers a thoughtful, diagnostic lens for women who value integrity, lead with responsibility, and want their decisions to feel clean internally — not just defensible externally. It’s an invitation to notice the internal state shaping your choices, and to consider what changes when steadiness leads. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores the unseen layer beneath financial decisions…the internal state that shapes how choices are made long before the numbers ever come into play. This conversation is not about strategy, tactics, or financial advice. It’s about what happens internally when responsibility is high, when decisions matter, and when urgency or steadiness quietly influences how those decisions land. Leslie reflects on why even capable, values-aligned women can experience money decisions as heavier than expected, and how pressure becomes normalized without being questioned. You’ll hear an honest examination of what it costs to manage decisions internally for too long, how energy depletion subtly affects clarity, and what begins to change when steadiness leads instead of low-grade urgency. Not by doing more. but by noticing the state decisions are coming from. This episode is a grounded, thoughtful listen for high-performing women who are confident with money, thoughtful in their choices, and curious about how internal energy shapes even the most well-considered financial decisions. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet, Self-Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, names something high-achieving women feel but rarely have language for. Why your energy can feel off on days that look good on paper. If you’re the woman who moves fast, thinks fast, and says yes quickly because it feels clean, capable, and efficient, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way. Leslie breaks down what’s actually happening in the moments before a yes forms, and why awareness alone never stopped the drain. This conversation isn’t about boundaries, discipline, or slowing yourself down. It’s about how access to your energy is being decided in real time, and how small, reasonable decisions quietly spread your focus, dilute your momentum, and leave you feeling thinner by the end of the day even when nothing went wrong. You’ll hear why your energy isn’t disappearing, where it’s actually going, and what changes when your decisions are designed instead of reactive. Not as a checklist. Not as rules. But as a shift that finally explains why everything else felt incomplete. This episode is for the woman who wants her energy to stay with her, her decisions to feel finished, and her pace to feel supported from the inside, so her days stop costing more than she ever intended. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, host Leslie Gaudet, Self Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, reveals the real reason your momentum feels harder to hold on certain days — and it has nothing to do with your pace. If you’re the woman who moves fast, thinks fast, and says yes fast because it feels like the cleanest way to keep things moving, this conversation will shift the way you see that moment entirely. Leslie unpacks the invisible cost of micro-yeses, the tiny pivots that feel harmless but quietly pull from the bandwidth your momentum depends on. You will explore what happens in the instant before your Yes forms, why that reflex shapes your entire day more than you realize, and how one simple internal shift can help you protect your energy while keeping your momentum steady.

You will explore the belief that saying yes quickly protects your pace, what those unfiltered yeses actually cost you, and how a simple shift in awareness can help you protect your energy without slowing down. This episode is your invitation to start noticing the story behind your yes, so every decision you make can support the woman you are becoming, not just the pace you have always kept. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Angie Tumlinson, Science of the Mind Integration Expert and Natural Universal Laws Educator, for a powerful conversation about decision, identity, and learning to trust what’s calling you—even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear. Angie shares her personal journey from a season of deep questioning to a moment that changed everything—saying yes to a bold and extraordinary challenge, trusting the unknown, and turning her annual income into her monthly income in just two months. You’ll hear how that leap redefined her work, her purpose, and how she now helps others create aligned results by working with thought and energy first. In this episode, Angie explains why “how” is irrelevant until you decide, how Natural Universal Laws quietly shape your outcomes, and why real change begins long before your circumstances catch up. If you’ve been feeling the quiet pull toward something more—but haven’t yet trusted yourself to act—this conversation will meet you right where you are. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, host Leslie Gaudet reveals a truth many high-performing women feel but rarely name: sometimes the hardest thing isn’t doing everything yourself — it’s letting someone else in. If you’ve ever felt the tension between craving support and resisting it, this conversation helps you understand the real reason behind that conflict. Leslie explores how old protection patterns quietly shape your independence, your relationships, and your emotional bandwidth, even when life looks full and successful on the outside. You’ll hear what receiving looks like when it comes from alignment instead of fear, why it strengthens rather than threatens your identity, and how letting support in gives you back the space your life has been missing. This episode is a grounded reminder that your strength doesn’t disappear when you stop carrying everything alone. It becomes sustainable. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Xanet Pailet, nationally recognized Sex and Intimacy Coach and founder of Passionate Intimacy Retreats, for a meaningful conversation about emotional connection, long-term partnership, and what really happens when intimacy fades. After leaving a 26-year sexless marriage and a successful legal career, Xanet now helps couples create deeper connection, safety, and lasting intimacy—no matter how long it’s been missing.

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, host Leslie Gaudet, Self-Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, explores what real self-trust looks like in the life of a high-achieving woman — the kind that doesn’t come from certainty, but from awareness. Leslie takes you inside the moments that test our confidence most — when logic wants control, intuition whispers quietly, and we’re tempted to wait for proof before trusting what we already know. Through grounded storytelling and lived insight, she shares how to use the Awareness–Alignment–Application process to turn that inner knowing into steady, embodied trust. If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing a decision that already felt right, or waiting for validation before taking the next step, this episode will help you reconnect with your own clarity — and remind you that awareness isn’t something you earn, it’s something you honor. Because the more you trust what you notice, the faster peace, confidence, and momentum return — not from trying harder, but from moving in alignment with what’s already true. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.
