We were taught to be "strong" long before we were taught to be whole. For decades, many of us in the corporate world perfected the art of putting on a strong performance. We armoured up, leaned in, and powered through. But as we navigate our encore years, the definition of power is shifting. It is no longer about how much we can withstand, but about how deeply we can heal.

In this episode, we explore the territory that lies beyond the boardroom:

1. The Empowerment Trap: Why performing resilience is exhausting—and what to do instead.

2. The Stages of Awakening: Navigating the transition from a defined career path to an open horizon of purpose.

3. Healing as Strategy: How reclaiming your own story creates a foundation for true impact in your next chapter.

If you are a woman leader feeling the stir for something deeper than just another career move, this conversation is for you. It’s time to drop the armour and embrace the wholeness that has been waiting for you.

Energy, Authenticity, and Transformation in Your Executive Encore

Energy, Authenticity, and Transformation in Your Executive Encore

Today, I introduce a woman who knows a thing or two about navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.

Tina Brigley is a former teacher turned business strategist and coach. Tina has helped countless aspiring women entrepreneurs ditch the hustle and transform from feeling overwhelmed to building aligned, profitable businesses.

After achieving multi-7-figure success for herself, Tina uncovered the hard truth about chasing quick-fix solutions and learned that true success starts with who you want to ‘be,’ not just what you ‘do.’

Tina is a TEDx speaker, and International Coach and Personal Development junkie, and is passionate about entrepreneurship and spirituality. 

I am excited to welcome Tina to the Executive Encore video podcast to share her wisdom, actionable insights, and a wealth of inspiration to help you take charge of your life, your work, and your business.


Here are my key takeaways: Here are some practical steps to help them move from their current position to a more empowered and aligned place in life, work, and business.

Start with Clarity: Get clear on your vision and values. Write them down and use them as your guideposts.

  • Shift Your Mindset: Transition from an employee mindset to that of an empowered CEO. Focus on the big picture and long-term growth.

    Leverage Systems, Strategy, and Soul: Use reliable systems for structure, strategies to scale, and don’t forget to align every decision with what feels true to your soul.

    Take Immediate Action: Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Whether it’s hiring a coach, automating a process, or simply saying “no” to something that doesn’t align, start now.

    Thriving Through the Decades - Wellness for Women 40 to 70+

    Wellness is a lifelong journey, but each decade brings its own unique challenges and opportunities.

    Join us as we explore how women can thrive in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

    My guest, Kayla and I discuss reframing self-care as we age, viewing fitness as a long-term investment ("muscle is your body’s retirement plan"), and **leveraging emerging tools like GLP-1 peptides during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause to maintain wellness throughout the decades.

    Kayla Johnson shares actionable insights and inspiring strategies for navigating life's stages with strength, health, and vitality.

    Join us for new perspectives on women's wellness throughout the decades of remastering life and work.

    **Kayla and I want to emphasize that this is not medical advice, but rather a topic to discuss with your qualified healthcare practitioner. **

    Elevating Women’s Workplace Wellness & Wealth - EMPOWERING BONDS

    My guest, Katie O'Malley, shares her perspective and expertise on the unique and persistent challenges women face in the workplace and the need for representation at the highest organizational levels. Katie highlights five main challenges: the double bind, the idea of only one woman succeeding, the "dearth" of recognition, gender-normed behaviours, and the "made-up" concept of imposter syndrome. Katie urges us to actively recognize other women's achievements and deconstruct gender norms to promote equal opportunities. Katie recommended the "Feminist Fight Club" by Jessica Bennett for practical strategies to address these challenges. Katie is a female entrepreneur with expertise in providing career coaching, leadership development, and workplace consulting to individuals and companies in the US and the UK. Since launching (en)Courage Coaching in 2018, Katie has been on a mission to elevate underrepresented individuals to the rooms where decisions are made. True workplace joy and justice remain elusive until these groups are represented at the highest organizational levels.

    From Duty to Desire: The Power of Embracing The “Me First” Mindset

    From Duty to Desire: The Power of Embracing The “Me First” Mindset

    As women executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders in our respective fields, we often prioritize our work and caring for others above everything else. We constantly strive and push ourselves to meet deadlines, achieve goals, and attend to the needs of others. While determination and hard work are commendable traits, it's equally vital to prioritize self-care proactively instead of reacting only when overwhelmed or distressed. Self-care encompasses a wide range of practices that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Self-care can include exercise, healthy eating habits, meditation, spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies or interests, and taking breaks from work. The analogy of the airline safety message "apply your own mask first" is cliche. Linda introduces us to the power of embracing the "Me First" mindset. Linda shares her venture on the Camino del Norte in Spain, flanked by contrasting cruises. Discover how Linda relates travel to self-care and navigating life transitions.
