HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design

Join Leslie Gaudet and Heather Simco, transformation coach and founder of Complete Concierge Solutions and Sober Boss Babe, for a raw, honest, and deeply empowering conversation about what burnout is really telling you — and what becomes possible when you finally stop pushing through and start rebuilding from within.  Heather's journey is anything but ordinary. Growing up in a dysfunctional family environment, navigating her own personal battles, making a remarkable transition from MMA to ministry, and building 12 years of sobriety alongside a thriving coaching business — she understands from the inside out what it costs to live out of alignment for too long. And she has dedicated her work to making sure other women don’t have to pay that price alone.  In this episode, Heather opens up about why burnout so often has nothing to do with how hard you are working and everything to do with how long you have been living without healthy boundaries, why sobriety is not just a recovery word but a powerful philosophy around mental, physical, and emotional clarity, and what self-sabotage actually looks like in high-achieving women — and how to finally break free from it.   If you’ve been running on empty and telling yourself that pushing through is just part of the deal — this conversation is going to change the way you think about burnout, boundaries, and what you actually deserve.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

In this special archival episode, Leslie Gaudet revisits a raw and unforgettable conversation she had with Amity Morales, transformational mentor, teacher, guide, and CEO — a woman who has been in business since she was 15 years old and who knows firsthand what it costs to keep going when everything inside you is asking you to stop. This is not a polished framework or a step-by-step guide. This is two women sitting down and telling the truth about what burnout actually looked like in their lives — the physical collapse, the nervous system in freefall, the moment the body finally said enough, and the long, sometimes painful journey back to wholeness. Amity opens up about running multiple companies while caring for her grandmother in hospice during COVID, the physical toll of chronic stress that left her unable to get up off the floor, and the dark night of the soul that ultimately became her breakthrough. You will also hear how childhood trauma and limiting beliefs around worthiness quietly fuel burnout in ways most women never connect, why comparison is one of the most powerful forms of self-sabotage, and what it actually means to love yourself enough to finally make yourself the priority. If you’ve ever told yourself you can handle it — right up until the moment you couldn’t — this conversation is going to feel like someone finally put words to what you have been living. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Cass Uk, award-winning entrepreneur, former NHS Registered Nurse, author, speaker, and Founder and CEO of Tolicious, for a bold and deeply personal conversation about what it truly takes to build a purpose-driven life and business without burning yourself out in the process.  Cass's journey is anything but ordinary. After years working as a registered nurse across Nigeria, Dominica, and the UK, she survived a life-threatening postpartum recovery, left the security of her nursing career, and built Tolicious from the ground up while working full time — eventually becoming the first Black female founder to secure Spark Funding through the North East Accelerator Programme. Her mission is clear: self-care is not selfish. It’s survival.  In this episode, Cass opens up about what she witnessed in her nursing career that made prevention feel urgent rather than optional, what surviving a life-threatening postpartum experience revealed to her about her body and her purpose, and what it truly required of her to leave a secure career and build something meaningful from scratch. You’ll also hear why she believes every woman needs to stop waiting for permission and start claiming the life she actually wants.   If you have been building something extraordinary while quietly running on empty — this conversation is going to speak directly to you.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Lauren Golen, embodiment teacher, breath-based practitioner, and coach to founders and women leaders, for a deeply honest and powerful conversation about what is really running everything underneath decades of high performance, and what becomes possible when a woman finally learns to listen to her body before her mind catches up.  With thirty years of body and breath-based practice and her own experience leading through real consequence, Lauren works at the intersection of embodiment, discernment, and faith. She doesn’t add better frameworks on top of existing patterns. She goes underneath them to the place where the real work has always been waiting.  In this episode, Lauren opens up about the pattern that keeps showing up underneath even the most accomplished women's lives that no strategy has ever been able to touch, why high-achieving women become so skilled at normalizing what is actually unsustainable, and what it truly means to listen to your body before your mind has caught up. You will also hear how to begin distinguishing between what is yours to carry and what never was, what happens when a woman finally feels safe enough to stop performing and just be, and what freedom actually looks like for a woman who has spent decades succeeding her way to the top.  If you have ever felt successful and somehow still not free, this conversation will help you understand why. And where to start. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space I have been sitting on for a while now — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Rena Duell, business coach at One TEAM Partners and 25-year entrepreneur, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what burnout really costs — and what becomes possible when a woman finally decides to build her business and her life differently. Rena knows this journey from the inside out. After years of juggling leadership, motherhood, and constant demands, she hit a breaking point that impacted her health and forced her to completely rethink how she was living and working. That breakdown became her breakthrough and today she is the coach she wished she had back then. In this episode, Rena opens up about what hitting that wall actually looked like for her and the moment she knew something had to fundamentally change, why she believes you are the ceiling of your own business's success and what it truly takes to grow past it, and how her three-pillar approach of Awareness, Structure, and Habit creates sustainable results that stick long after the coaching ends. If you have been running on empty and telling yourself this is just the price of building something — this conversation is going to show you there is another way. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space I have been sitting on for a while now — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

Join Leslie Gaudet and Jacqueline T. Hill, strategic marketing advisor and fractional CMO, for a refreshingly direct conversation about what it truly means to build a business that doesn’t just make money — but keeps it. Jacqueline brings a rare perspective to this conversation — 17 years as an educator and Principal combined with nearly three decades in marketing. Where most focus on generating more leads, she focuses on what happens after the lead converts. Her work centers on profit margins, client retention, and the internal systems that determine whether a business grows sustainably or constantly chases its own tail. In this episode, Jacqueline breaks down why so many businesses are quietly leaking revenue without realizing it, what it takes to shift from hustle-driven to profit-first, and how her EMOTE Method™ identifies exactly where a business is losing money — before prescribing how to fix it. If you have been working hard but still feel like you are chasing rather than building — this one is for you. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space I have been sitting on for a while now — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.

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. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** 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.
