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

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

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.

Redesign Your Energy So Your Yes Stops Leaking Your Power

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, host Leslie Gaudet, Self-Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, breaks down why your energy can feel off even on days when everything looks right on paper. If you’re the woman who moves fast, decides fast, and says yes fast because it feels efficient and responsible, this episode will help you see what’s really happening in those moments. Leslie explores how small, reasonable yeses can slowly spread your energy across the day, making your focus harder to hold and your momentum more effortful than it needs to be. You’ll hear why this isn’t about discipline, boundaries, or slowing down, but about how access to your energy is being decided in real time. Leslie walks you through what’s happening just before a yes forms, how those micro-decisions shape your entire day, and what it looks like to redesign how your energy is protected without changing your pace. This episode is for the woman who wants her energy to stay with her, her decisions to feel complete, and her momentum to feel supported from start to finish — not something she has to recover from later. ******************************************************************** 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 Secret to Keeping Your Momentum Without Burning Through Your Energy (Starting With One Yes Shift)

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, host Leslie Gaudet, Self Care Strategist and creator of The YES Reset Method™, reveals the real reason your momentum feels harder to hold on certain days — and it has nothing to do with your pace. If you’re the woman who moves fast, thinks fast, and says yes fast because it feels like the cleanest way to keep things moving, this conversation will shift the way you see that moment entirely. Leslie unpacks the invisible cost of micro-yeses, the tiny pivots that feel harmless but quietly pull from the bandwidth your momentum depends on. You will explore what happens in the instant before your Yes forms, why that reflex shapes your entire day more than you realize, and how one simple internal shift can help you protect your energy while keeping your momentum steady. This episode is an invitation to see your Yes through a new lens — one that honors your ambition, supports your pace, and gives your energy the room it needs to sustain you, not drain 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.
