How Does What You’ve Lived Shape What Matters to You Now?
Sometimes we don’t understand how deeply an experience shaped us until we have enough life behind us to look back. In this episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie reflects on Harriet Tubman’s life and what stayed with her after looking beyond the familiar history. Harriet’s story became a doorway into a much more personal question: how do the things we live through shape what matters to us, what we value, the choices we make, and the woman we eventually become? Some experiences change us immediately. Others leave a quieter imprint that we may not recognize for years. A career, a loss, a risk, an opportunity, the way someone treated us, or something we witnessed can all influence how we live long after the moment itself has passed. This conversation is an invitation to look back without needing to turn every experience into a lesson and ask what may have been shaping you before you even had language for it. And perhaps the deeper question is this: What did that experience shape in you, and what are you doing with what you now know? ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ******************************************************************** Grab The Energy Cost Audit Bundle: Have you ever made something fit so quickly that you never stopped to ask what had to move?

Tanny Diep: When Your Business Starts Becoming Part of Someone Else’s Beginning
What happens when the path you thought you were supposed to follow keeps leading you somewhere else? In this conversation, Leslie sits down with Tanny Diep to talk about the unexpected turns that took her from corporate sales and fashion into permanent makeup, the early client experience that changed what the work meant to her, and how building success for herself eventually became helping other women create successes of their own. Tanny also shares what years of ambition taught her about the feeling of never quite reaching enough — and why, after building the business she once hoped for, she is thinking differently about success, motherhood, meaningful work, and the life she wants to live now. Sometimes what we build changes other people's lives. And sometimes, somewhere along the way, it changes ours too. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ***************************************************************** Want support with what’s next?

What Part of the Life You Want Are You Still Saving for Later?
What if the life you keep saying you want isn’t completely waiting somewhere in the future? You can still want the bigger goals, the financial growth, the travel, the meaningful work, and everything else you are building toward. But some of what you want may already be available to you in smaller, more ordinary ways. In this episode, I’m looking at the things we keep assigning to later. The book we mean to read. The friend we keep meaning to call. The place we want to explore. The afternoon we could take for ourselves. The part of our life that keeps getting moved because something else feels more urgent. This isn’t about giving up ambition or pretending every dream can happen right now. Some things genuinely need more time, money, planning, support, or a different season. The question is whether all of it has to wait. Sometimes the life we want doesn’t first appear as the full vision. It shows up in an ordinary afternoon, a conversation we finally make time for, somewhere close to home we’ve never explored, or a little more room to decide what we want part of our day to be for. What could you begin experiencing now, even while you’re still building what comes next? ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ******************************************************************** Grab The Energy Cost Audit Bundle: Have you ever made something fit so quickly that you never stopped to ask what had to move?

Maria Aponte: Against All Odds — When Resilience Becomes a Choice
What happens when resilience stops being about simply getting through what happened and starts becoming a choice about what comes next? In this conversation, Leslie sits down with Maria Aponte to talk about strength, healing, agency, and the way difficult experiences can shape the life we go on to build. Maria shares the journey behind Against All Odds, the moment her perspective began to shift from life happening to her toward life happening for her, and why sharing her story became a way of helping other people feel less alone in theirs. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to carry your story differently, this conversation will give you a lot to reflect on. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ***************************************************************** Want support with what’s next?

When Your Life Changes but Your Definition of Success Doesn’t
You can finish work early, have dinner with your family, take an afternoon for yourself—and still get to the end of the week thinking: “I didn’t get enough done.” What happens when your life starts changing, but the way you measure success doesn’t? In this conversation, I’m looking at the invisible scorecard we can keep using long after our priorities have changed—the one that counts what we finished, produced, earned, or moved forward, while some of the things we say matter most barely register at all. Because if you’re building a life with more freedom, more choice, more presence, or simply more room to actually live, those things have to count somewhere too. Maybe the question isn’t whether you’re doing enough. Maybe it’s: What matters to you now that your old definition of success still doesn’t know how to count? ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ******************************************************************** Want support with what’s next?

Dr. Angela Zeng: Eastern Wisdom, Western Science, and the Art of Building Resilience on Purpose
Join Leslie Gaudet and Dr. Angela Zeng, medical scientist, TEDx speaker, author, and founder and CEO of Karviva Wellness Beverages, for a rich and deeply meaningful conversation about what resilience truly looks like when you stop confusing it with endurance — and start building it with intention, wisdom, and balance. Angela's story is extraordinary in every sense of the word. Raised in a family with generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom, she went on to earn a PhD in Pathology and conduct postdoctoral research at Northwestern University — before making a bold and purposeful leap into entrepreneurship that would eventually bridge two worlds, Eastern healing wisdom and Western medical science, in a way nobody else had quite done before. In this episode, Angela opens up about the curiosity that sparked her lifelong mission — beginning at age five in an herbal shop — and what it truly required of her to leave a corporate career and leap into entrepreneurship as an immigrant woman in a space that was not always designed with her in mind. You will also hear what she learned from bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western medical science, why she believes food and daily lifestyle choices are foundational to resilience, and what she most wants every woman listening to remember about her own capacity to keep going. If you have ever wondered whether there is a wiser, more sustainable way to move through life's hardest chapters — this conversation is going to stay with you. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ***************************************************************** Want support with what’s next?

When You Get Time Back, Why Do You Fill It With More Work?
The meeting gets canceled. Someone else handles dinner. The task you finally delegated is no longer yours. And before the relief has even settled, you’re already asking, “Okay, what else can I get done?” In this episode, I’m looking at what happens after support actually works. Because sometimes capacity comes back and productivity claims it before we’ve even noticed there was another possibility. The hour gets another task. The opening gets filled. The space we worked so hard to create never really becomes ours. And that raises a different question: What did you think the support was for? If you’re building a life with more freedom in it, at some point some of that freedom has to actually become part of your life — not just another resource the work gets to use. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ******************************************************************** Want support with what’s next?

Lorraine Ansell: Making the Invisible Visible — A Story of Pain, Purpose, and Intentional Resilience
Join Leslie Gaudet and Lorraine Ansell, writer, speaker, advocate, and author of The Surrender Agenda, for a deeply honest and quietly powerful conversation about what it truly looks like to design a life that thrives — not in spite of chronic pain, but alongside it. Lorraine came from a corporate marketing background before hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome entered her life and rewrote everything she thought she knew about herself. Rather than letting her diagnosis define or silence her, she chose to do something remarkable with it — she wrote a book, built a platform, and became a voice for every person living with an invisible condition who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or simply too tired to explain. If you have ever been navigating something hard and invisible and wondered if there is a way to not just get through it but actually build something meaningful from it — this conversation is going to stay with you. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com Email: leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.co ***************************************************************** Want support with what’s next?
