Kim Costa: When Saying No to Oprah Led to Everything — Lessons in Bold, Aligned Living
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 leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** 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 Space Between Knowing and Becoming (Why Knowing Isn't Always Enough to Change Your Life)
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. ********************************************************************Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ********************************************************************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.

Stacy Heisey-Terrell: The Extraordinary Move of Choosing a Career That Chooses You Back
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. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** 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.

The Truth You've Been Negotiating With and Why What Keeps Showing Up Matters
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. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** 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.

Stephanie Jones: Messy Middle to Focused CEO (Building a Business as Powerful as You Are)
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. ******************************************************************** 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.

Influence with Integrity: The Moment I Stopped Negotiating With Myself
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. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** 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.

Dr. Mickell Dent: The Real Cost of the Mask, and What Becomes Possible When You Finally Remove It
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. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** 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.

Influence With Integrity: The Responsibility Behind the Yes
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. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** 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.
