Summary

Join Leslie Gaudet for a reflective conversation about the moment when the life you built still works on paper, but something in you begins asking whether it still fits the life you want to live. In this episode, Leslie closes out the June series on Building an Extraordinary Life by exploring why extraordinary can’t be reduced to one image of success. Through her guest conversations around career, home, support, business, service, freedom, and quality of life, she looks at the tension between admiring someone else’s version of success and telling the truth about what would actually feel true for you. Leslie also shares the question this series brought up in her own life as she continues building her coaching business, her podcast, The Faceless and Nameless Gatherings, her collaborations, and the work she feels called to do: not only what am I building, but what is this building making room for? This conversation is for the woman whose life still makes sense, whose responsibilities are real, and whose accomplishments matter, but who has started noticing that functioning is not the same as fit. Nothing has to be falling apart for her to realize that the life she has built may be asking for more of her than she wants to keep giving. If you have ever wondered whether the life that once supported you is still meant to stay at the center, this episode invites you to ask a different question: What does an extraordinary life mean to you when no one else is defining it? ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected] ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a spa…
