When Your Ability to Make It Work Becomes the Problem

In this episode, Leslie Gaudet explores the moment when a request sounds reasonable, your calendar can technically make room, and yet something in you already knows the yes is going to cost more than anyone else can see. For the woman who knows how to adjust, rearrange, compress, and make things work, capability can become hard to question. The work gets done. The deadline is met. The people around you are supported. But somewhere in the middle of making room for everything and everyone else, the things that mattered to you may have quietly been moved again. Leslie invites you into a deeper conversation about energy, alignment, and the private math behind the yeses that look simple from the outside. This isn’t about becoming unavailable or saying no to everything. It’s about noticing the moment before your ability to make it work becomes the reason you keep moving yourself out of the way. If you have ever agreed before your energy had a chance to speak, this episode will meet you there. ******************************************************************** 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. And the first one is happening on July 23rd at 12 pm EST. I'm keeping it small and intimate (10 women). If you'd like to be a part of it, let me know. Just send me an email and I'll send you the link to register. And just know that if the spots are gone, I'll add you to the spreadsheet for the next one.
