  • Behind the Scenes: Building Something Meaningful Without Rushing It

    Behind the Scenes: Building Something Meaningful Without Rushing It
    Jan 23 2026
    In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to build something meaningful without rushing clarity or forcing certainty. This conversation explores what it actually feels like to lead with intention while you’re still inside the process—when decisions aren’t fully formed yet, when the vision is clear but the path is still unfolding, and when steadiness matters more than speed. You’ll hear Leslie reflect on letting go of the need to have everything figured out, what carrying decisions alone quietly costs over time, and how staying connected to yourself in real time changes the way you lead, decide, and protect your energy. This episode is a candid look at what it sounds like to lead yourself in real time—without certainty, without rushing, and without having it all figured out. ******************************************************************** 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.

  • Why You Keep Second-Guessing Yourself Even When You Know What to Do

    Why You Keep Second-Guessing Yourself Even When You Know What to Do
    Jan 16 2026
    In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores why so many high-achieving women continue to second-guess themselves even when they know exactly what to do. This conversation unpacks what’s really happening when decisions are made quickly but don’t feel finished—why your mind keeps circling back, why clarity doesn’t always translate into closure, and how open decisions quietly drain energy, focus, and momentum throughout the day. You’ll hear why second-guessing isn’t a confidence issue or a self-trust problem, what it means when decisions move forward before your energy fully integrates them, and what actually allows decisions to feel complete instead of lingering. This episode is for decisive, capable women who move fast, lead themselves well, and want their decisions to land cleanly—so their energy can move forward without pulling them back for review. ******************************************************************** 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.

  • Start the Year Feeling Clear and Grounded so Your Momentum Feels Supported, Not Managed

    Start the Year Feeling Clear and Grounded so Your Momentum Feels Supported, Not Managed
    Jan 9 2026
    In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores why so many high-achieving women start the year feeling clear and motivated, yet still experience subtle pressure, tension, or effort underneath their momentum. This conversation breaks down the difference between managed energy and supported energy, and why momentum can feel heavy even when you're clear on what you want, your calendar is organized, and nothing is technically wrong. You’ll hear why clarity alone doesn’t always translate into ease, what’s happening when your energy never fully stands down, and how supported momentum changes the way your days feel before decisions accelerate. This episode is for high-performing women who want to feel grounded, focused, and steady as they move forward—so their momentum feels supported from the inside, not managed through constant self-monitoring. ******************************************************************** 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.

  • REPLAY: Redefining “Having It All” – A Year-End Reset on Grace, Growth & Enoughness

    REPLAY: Redefining “Having It All” – A Year-End Reset on Grace, Growth & Enoughness
    Jan 2 2026
    Join Leslie Gaudet for a heartfelt roundtable conversation on what it truly means to “have it all” as the year comes to a close, featuring returning guests Diane Konkin, Founder and CEO of Advanced Mind Health, a no-repeat client therapy practice helping high-profile professionals eliminate self-sabotage, intrusive emotions, and substance habits in just 1–2 sessions with a 99% success rate; and Sharlene Styles, founder of PURE Natural Health & Wellness, who guides women to understand their metabolism, balance hormones, support their nervous system, and shift the habits and thoughts that shape how they feel and function. Together, they reflect on the emotional weight of unmet goals, the pressure to measure worth by checked boxes, and the quiet grace it takes to release judgment and honor the journey. This episode is an invitation to reimagine success, not as perfection or performance, but as presence, purpose, and peace. From personal reflections to powerful reframes, Leslie, Diane, and Sharlene explore how high-achieving women can close out the year with clarity and compassion, and step into the new one grounded in what matters most. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough or being enough, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to do more to be whole. You just have to come home to what’s already true for you. ******************************************************************** 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.

  • The Step Beyond Awareness That Finally Protects Your Energy

    The Step Beyond Awareness That Finally Protects Your Energy
    Dec 26 2025
    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.
