You built your business for freedom. But if you’re the one everyone turns to when the school calls, the groceries are forgotten, or the cat’s sick, that “freedom” can disappear fast.

Being the flexible one feels like strength. But over time, it becomes an expectation — and the cost is your focus, your energy, and your growth.

In this episode, I share the moment that made me realize bending for everyone else isn’t a badge of honour. It’s leadership fatigue in disguise. And more importantly — what to do about it.

Episode Highlights:

🐾 The story that opened my eyes to the hidden cost of being “the fixer”
🧠 Why invisible emotional labour is quietly sabotaging your growth
⏰ The truth about flexibility — and why it isn’t free
👩‍👧 How to delegate emotional labour at home and in business
🚫 Saying “no” like a CEO (without guilt)

Because you can’t scale a business while absorbing everyone else’s overflow. Real leadership isn’t about doing it all — it’s about building a business that works with your life, not against it.

Burnout doesn’t arrive overnight. It builds slowly — in the skipped lunches, the extra client you squeezed in, the 7:30 a.m. “quick call” that derails your day. Those aren’t just time management issues. They’re leadership habits. And left unchecked, they’re a straight line to burnout.

In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I break down the five calendar-based leadership shifts every founder needs to make:

⚡ From reaction → regulation: stop firefighting and start leading with intention.
⚡ From control → trust: let your team rise instead of holding it all.
⚡ From output → energy: protect your energy like your profit margin.
⚡ From hero → human: you’re the heartbeat of your business, not the cape-wearing rescuer.
⚡ From avoidance → alignment: build a Yes List that actually lights you up.

Because you didn’t build your business just to hustle harder. You built it to create freedom, fulfillment, and impact. And that starts with how you lead your time.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to reset your calendar — and your leadership — before burnout takes hold.

As female founders, we carry so much. We’re leading teams, serving clients, keeping the money flowing, protecting the culture — until the weight gets too heavy. That’s not weakness. That’s leadership fatigue.

In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I’m sharing the exact 3-step rescue plan I use with my clients — and with myself — to stop the spiral of overwhelm and get back in control.

✨ Episode Highlights

Why overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re broken — and why it hits the most capable leaders.
What leadership fatigue looks like (and how to know when you’ve hit the wall).
The 3-step rescue plan: grounding yourself, finding the fire, and reaching for support.
A powerful reframe: overwhelm isn’t a sentence, it’s a signal.

Because you don’t need to push harder to prove yourself. You just need the right reset.

Success isn’t just revenue, fame, or milestones—it’s about alignment, fulfillment, and leading from your values. In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I share why money is a metric—not a value—and how confusing the two leaves businesses looking great on paper but empty in reality.

From family connection to authenticity, team growth to legacy, grounding success in what matters most transforms not only your own fulfillment but also your culture—where your team feels real ownership and pride. That’s the kind of success that lasts.

✨ Episode Highlights

💡 Why money is a metric, not a value
🪞 How to define success from the inside out
👩‍👧 Family, authenticity, and other values that truly measure success
🏆 Building accountability and ownership in your team through shared values
🌱 Redefining business success to include impact, culture, and legacy
🔑 The questions to ask your team about what success means to them

Real success looks different for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. When you get clear on your personal definition, you show up as a more grounded leader, and your team rises with you. That’s how we create sustainable, meaningful growth that goes far beyond the P&L.

Entrepreneurship teaches us to move fast: fail fast, scale fast, bounce back faster. But here’s the truth—when you’re always in overdrive, you’re not leading, you’re redlining. And eventually, that pace will cost you your clarity, your creativity, and your joy.

In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I’m unpacking why slowing down might just be the most powerful leadership strategy you’ve been overlooking. Because real growth doesn’t come from constant hustle—it comes from creating space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Episode Highlights:

⏱️ Why our cultural obsession with speed leaves leaders stuck in fear and urgency

💔 What we lose when we trade reflection for rushing—joy, freedom, and fulfillment

🧘 The power of the pause: how rest fuels resilience and stillness creates strength

🔥 Practical ways to break the hurry habit and redefine success beyond speed

If you’ve been running at full throttle and wondering why it still doesn’t feel enough, this episode is your invitation to slow down—so you can lead better, live better, and actually enjoy the business you’ve built.

📩 DM me the word PAUSE and I’ll send you my favorite reflection questions to help you lead with more calm and clarity.

If you’re a founder, you’re probably swimming in advice—coaches, consultants, mentors, LinkedIn posts, podcasts… everyone has an opinion about how you should run your business. But here’s the truth: the wisest voice isn’t out there. It’s in you.

In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I’m helping you sort through the noise, trust your intuition, and reconnect with the most powerful advisor you’ll ever have—your inner leader. Because true leadership isn’t about collecting endless strategies. It’s about discernment: knowing which voices to trust and when to let them go.

Episode Highlights:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 The difference between a coach, consultant, and mentor (and how to know which one you actually need)
⚡ The signs you’re stuck in a loop and it’s time to seek outside perspective
💡 Simple practices—like journaling, meditation, and reflection prompts—that strengthen your inner leader
🔥 Questions to ask yourself to discern whether advice serves your values, your team, and your vision

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many opinions—or doubted your ability to make the “right” call—this episode is your reminder: you already have the wisdom you need.

This week on Female Founder Unplugged — we're getting honest about burnout.

Because here’s the truth: you didn’t start your business to feel resentful, depleted, or joyless. But if you’re white-knuckling your way through the week, this episode is your wake-up call — and your recovery plan.

In this episode, we get real about what burnout actually looks like — and how to take your power back before it breaks you.

Episode Highlights:

⚡Burnout doesn’t always look like total exhaustion — it might look like you, doing everything right, but feeling completely drained. [01:45]
⚡If your team looks great on paper but you’re running on empty, it’s time to stop redlining your business. [03:17]
⚡Ask yourself: What are your core values? Are you building a business that reflects them — or betrays them? [04:45]
⚡We burn out when our work is no longer aligned with our purpose. That’s not a personal failure. It’s a sign to re-align. [06:24]

This episode isn’t about adding more to your plate — it’s about making space for recovery, reconnection, and realignment.

In today's solo episode, I dive into a controversial yet crucial topic for female founders: work-life balance. Learn why I think it's a total MYTH, and why instead of striving for (an impossible state to achieve) balance, you should focus on finding your own unique work-life BLEND.💞

Mastering your blend can help you reduce burnout, improve your mental health, and reach genuine fulfillment in your career and personal life. Blending will allow you to integrate your role and your values, ebb and flow with life's demands, and be flexible with the many obstacles life can bring you. It's time to tune in and shift your perspective.😉

She started pursuing projects on the side and created the foundations for her own marketing agency; and in 2017, she leapt off the cliff and went full time with Ptak and Co (@ptakandco), helping her clients successfully navigate the digital marketing landscape.

Join us this week on Female Founder Friday to hear how Emily has overcome imposter syndrome to grow her powerhouse agency and become an incredible leader to her team.

Carly Jo Bell (@wholecomedia) had no idea how to run a business when she first decided to become a social media manager. She had experience in social media and knew she was good at it, but soon realized that’s not all it takes to find success. After reevaluating her goals, she decided to transition her business to something she was more excited about- helping entrepreneurs build sustainable companies. The moment she shifted towards work she was passionate about, she started to find the success (and money😉) she was looking for.

Join us this week on the Female Founder Friday Podcast to hear Carly’s advice for building a viable company, and why she’s adamant that even after you reach success, you still should be seeking opportunities to “weave sustainability into the DNA of your business”.

Robbin McManne’s female founder story began after the difficult birth of her first child; what she thought would be a beautiful beginning to motherhood was instead five years of emotional and physical pain. She finally decided to seek help for her son and was shocked when Doctors told her it wasn’t her child that needed to change, it was her. Through searching for answers, Robbin found the Conscious Parenting community and started finding ways to connect with her kids. She then commenced on a mission to help other parents overcome the hardships of parenting; and now, as a certified Parenting Coach and the founder of Parenting for Connection, Robbin gets to help parents around the world rediscover joy and love in their relationships with their kids, just like she did.

Ashley Holmes (ashley_holmes3202) was getting ready to open her own yoga studio when all of a sudden, the pandemic hit and she watched the world shut down around her.

Four years ago, Lindsay (@_Lindsaydent) realized she was no longer satisfied with her career. She still loved marketing, but she wasn’t working on projects that fulfilled her and she yearned for a change.

Now she has a thriving business, works with extraordinary people, and has fallen in love with her career again.

Join us this week on the Female Founder Friday Podcast as we discuss Lindsay’s realization that until you’re doing work that fulfills you, and collaborating with individuals you truly connect with, you won’t be satisfied in your career.

Kristabel Meier is a serial entrepreneur. Launching her first company in her twenties, she quickly learned that “big money” opportunities don’t mean anything; and the true potential is in investing in products and ideas you’re personally passionate about. After her Mum was diagnosed with cancer ten years ago, Kristabel began researching health and longevity. Her research led to skepticism about existing supplements on the market, and she decided to launch her own vitality brand (VERSO), dedicated to translating scientific breakthroughs into powerful, innovative products that increase human longevity.

Join me this week on the Female Founder Friday podcast to hear Kristabel discuss her wins and losses as an entrepreneur, and her #1 piece of advice for launching a successful business. You will be inspired by her journey, and her uncompromising dedication to improving people’s lives and making the world a better place.

Seven years ago Ali was at a crossroads - in the span of six months, she lost her Mum to cancer and her marriage had ended. She realized she’d been living her life on autopilot for years, and she needed to make a change. After a friend introduced her to @le_velofficial, she instantly fell in love. She decided to quit her job and embark on a new adventure in the Direct Sales industry… an adventure that has led to her becoming a top promoter in the company with over $36 million dollars in online sales.

Join me this week on the Female Founder Friday podcast as Ali shares her journey of overcoming fear of others’ judgment and stepping out of her comfort zone. Ali discusses her philosophies regarding intentional team building, and her belief that only by leading with your core values, can you find success in your life and in your business.

Kristy was barely out of college when she began strokes. Unable to determine what was causing them, Kristy sought out help from numerous doctors, and endured a plethora of experimental treatments, with no avail. Doctors told her there was nothing they could do.

Kristy refused to accept that answer. She began studying alternative medicine, a lifelong journey that led to her opening up her own Wellness practice, and becoming a clinical herbalist for clients around the globe. Kristy believes that every person can find a path to healing - it’s just a matter of trusting yourself and getting started. Kristy’s unique blending of Eastern and Western medicine, and advocacy for incorporating luxury into healing, offers her clients a comfortable, innovative treatment and the option to live a healthier, more environmentally conscious life.

In this Episode

"Doctors told me there was nothing they could do" (4:19).
The sacrifices of entrepreneurship (12:47).
The fundamental truth of leadership (22:57).

Pat remembers the day she was sitting through yet another tedious HR arbitration case and had a realization - this never had to happen. This arbitration, the escalation to her office, the conflict between the two parties… it was all unnecessary. It was preventative. Pat immediately contacted her boss and proposed an idea - what if they invested in to developing a unique leadership training that taught their employees how to resolve their own conflict? This would save her department tremendous time and resources and would empower every employee to be more effective communicators and negotiators. Her boss loved it.

Flash forward to thirty years later, Pat has shared her management consulting expertise with organizations across the globe. Her company, Macro Consulting, specializes in strategy development and implementation, board governance and executive team building. Pat has also served as a Board Member for widely respected Canadian organizations such as YMCA Canada, the Calgary Arts Authority, Mount Royal University and the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. Pat continues to develop innovative consulting methods to this day, and is determined to make a difference for her clients and her community, until “the day her phone stops ringing”.

In this Episode * The end of arbitration (2:15). * And then I got fired (6:26). * The unique challenges of female entrepreneurs (14:08). * How to be an effective leader (20:31). * Don’t let them knock down your confidence (26:32).

Happy Female Founder Friday CEO’s and female entrepreneurs! This week I was joined by 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭, the Co-founder of Sandbar marketing. Sarah and her husband are serial entrepreneurs, and in her latest endeavour, Sarah is on a mission to help business owners across North America find their voice.

Sarah has developed a highly successful copywriting process in which she combines ideal marketing language and behavior driven research to produce engaging, customer driven copy for everything from product descriptions, to websites, to social media. Sarah prides herself in being able to break down industry “lingo” into common language so that business owners can effectively draw in their customers and expand their business with compelling words and stories.

Sarah and I talked about the process of discovering your own style of 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 and why it’s important (especially for female leaders) to 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 “𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐬”. Sarah provided tremendous insight into her own journey, and how she came to recognize that she could not be an effective leader until she took the time to reflect on her “𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧”. You do not want to miss this fantastic discussion on leadership, making time for reflection, and 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞.

Welcome to the Female Founder Friday podcast, a collection of inspiring conversations with the most interesting female entrepreneurs and small business owners. I’m your host, Lindsay White and together with my incredible guests we’ll explore the struggles of being a female entrepreneur, the most important lessons, and the future of women leaders in business.

Speaking of struggles, one of the biggest challenges that so many of my clients are experiencing right now is this feeling of isolation. Let’s be honest it’s lonely being an entrepreneur, and even if you have a team, you many not have a community around you that truly understands what it’s like to be a business owner.

That’s why I’ve created the Inner Circle group program. It’s a specially curated group experience that’s designed specifically for female entrepreneurs as a space to create connection, build confidence, share our collective wisdom, and build our leadership. It’s a safe space to talk about the hard stuff. If this sounds like the right place for you, check it out at

My guest this week is Rachel Firth. Rachel is the Managing Director of Global Office Consulting and founder of Women In Dev, Rachel and her team at Global Office Consulting provide NGOs with accessible consultancy services to support global health and gender equality initiatives. So cool! Like so many Female Founders, Rachel has experienced the impacts of burn-out as she tried to balance building a business focused on social impact, and having a family. And she has come to recognize that her own leadership has an incredible impact on how her whole team and business performs. There’s lots of great nuggets in today’s conversation that I know you’ll all connect to and appreciate.

To everyone tuning in today, thank you for listening to the ‘Female Founder Friday’ Podcast. I was really inspired by Rachel’s commitment to creating a great people strategy in her business, and the commitment she shows to creating a culture of feedback. Even when that feedback is calling her out! I’d love to hear what you thought of today’s episode so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. You can find Rachel and her amazing team at globalofficeconsulting.com, and you can connect with me on Instagram @highvoltleadership.

The ‘Female Founder Friday’ Podcast has a goal to impact 1,000 listeners! It would mean the world to me if you left this episode a five-star review and shared it with your friends - let’s build-up 1,000 female entrepreneurs! Thank you so much for being a part of the show!

In today’s episode, I sit down with Linda Heeler. Linda is a Professional Certified Coach, owner of Live Inspired Life Coaching, and host of the Normal Lies podcast. Linda brings a unique set of skills and knowledge developed from her experience as a wife, mother, dental hygienist, animal lover, volunteer, and active member of her community. Linda lives south of Rochester, NY, is married, and has two amazing adult children, an equally impressive son-in-law, an adorable grandson, and two beloved fur babies.

Linda works with women in a transition period, who are feeling stuck and unhappy even though it seems like they “have it all”. Linda shares how it is never too late to do what you want to do and is passionate about helping her clients rediscover themselves and who they are.

Linda speaks from experience as she shares how at the beginning of her career, she spent a lot of money hiring sales coaches, and how it was simultaneously her worst mistake but the biggest lesson in business. The most expensive lesson she has learned is that coaches do not drive their own agenda. Real coaching is about your agenda, what you need, and helping you uncover that. Cookie-cutter formulas for success don’t work. You need to be authentic, dive into who you are, and know your values.

Join us as we talk about how finding a coach that you trust can make all the difference and why second opinions and interviewing other coaches should be encouraged! Linda is adamant that she doesn’t sell coaching, she has conversations. She lets everyone make their own choices because it’s really about the client and what is best for them. Her story is truly one of authenticity, integrity, and connection.

I also join Linda on her podcast! You can find links to Linda's podcast, Normal Lies, at Normal-Lies.com. You reach Linda at Linda@LiveInspiredLifeCoaching.com or follow Linda on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Linked In.

I am so excited to bring you the very first episode of the Female Founder Podcast! This season, I am so excited because we really are representing business owners and CEO’s from all across the world. It is amazing to me that in Season 2, we have grown so much that we are able to have conversations that really are Global! What I really love about every single conversation with these female founders from all over the world, is there seem to be similar challenges we are all facing. The first thing I’ve noticed was a general theme of authenticity. All of the incredible business owners I’ve spoken with have dug into their core values and really identified what feels authentic to them – and have built their business around that!

The second topic that has come up this season is work and life blend – and how challenging it is to balance all the hats we wear each day. As a leadership coach, I see this as us trying to achieve this unachievable balance and the idea that if it’s not perfect, it’s not good enough. And that is simply not true, but it really is a theme I think we will see throughout this season!

We will also hear these business owners and leaders talk about burnout! It’s something a lot of us entrepreneurs deal with in a very profound way, and it wouldn’t be authentic if we don’t open up and have truly vulnerable conversations about this. We all have become so accustomed to what I call Red Lining, where we are constantly pushing ourselves to that point of burnout.

I know another thing I am passionate about is helping entrepreneurs and CEOs become aligned with their values. We must know what our personal values are, but also what behaviors align with those values. As female founders, we can bring those values right into our business and that’s what makes it so truly fulfilling!

Buckle up as we hear these phenomenal women talk about their stories of authenticity, times of pressure and burnout, and how they incorporate their values into their business. It’s inspiring to hear how they have all built a fantastic culture surrounding these core values. The stories are raw, real and above all – something I think we can all relate to! Being in business can be both challenging and rewarding. However, a lot of the time you can also feel completely alone.

That is exactly why I created the Inner Circle, geared towards helping you surround yourself with like-minded business owners and CEO’s. A place where you can come to get support, inspiration, tools, and community to take your business to the next level! If you are ready to level up, check out my website the Inner Circle Program here!

As always, I encourage you to reach out! I absolutely love connecting with all of you, and even going to grab a coffee! You can find me on social media everywhere – Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and of course on the Female Founder Podcast! I know you will enjoy hearing from these amazing business owners as much as I have, and I am so excited to kick off Season 2 with you!

Thanks for joining me!

Lindsay

Welcome to the final episode of Season 1 of the Female Founder Friday podcast! It has been an amazing season, where I had the privilege and honor of speaking with 18 incredible Female Founders. They each had unique experiences, insight, and golden nuggets to share which is why I wanted to dedicate this final episode to some of my biggest takeaways from these amazing women, and share it all with you!

Celebrating our small wins! I even need to remind myself to pause and celebrate the wins along the way! This is why I intentionally took the month of June to pause and really celebrate the one-year anniversary of High Voltage Leadership!
Reinvention. We can pivot and reinvent ourselves and our business at any point. It is NEVER too late! Denise Summers is a perfect example! She quit her corporate job and went back to school, in a class where everyone else was the same age as her kids! How inspiring!
Self-Discovery. Truly embracing what makes us unique! Tracy Guillet is a self-proclaimed introvert and shared with us how she really struggled with embracing her introversion. Now she helps others embrace their introversion to see that’s what makes them special!
The willingness to fail. Kelly Sinclair explains that when she started, things did not go the way she had hoped. She capitalized on this by learning and proves to us all that there are always lessons to learn. Be bold, be brave, and take risks!
Bet on yourself! Robin Devine shared how important it is to bet on yourself. Dig in deep and go big. She admittedly overbuilt her practice, even when everyone told her she shouldn’t. But if you build it, they will come!!
Work/Life blend. Susan Kandalaft is a woman who has incredible hustle and heart but the blending of work and life has proven to be challenging and I think we can all relate! The way she unpacks this is in her episode is truly incredible.
Hope. Nobody embodies hope like Lindsay Recknell. She is an expert in hope and says it is really all about having a mindset of invitation. That is also what Pauline Greenidge shared, and she emphasized just really having the confidence and knowing you can get through anything. Things will sometimes get messy, chaotic – but there is magic in some of that messiness!
Resilience. Every single one of the 18 women I spoke to this season is incredibly resilient! Kim Hayden shared how she created an entire resilience series where she gets to help entrepreneurs find their resilience and build resilient businesses. She really is the definition of resilient and shares how you can weather any storm!
Relationships. All 18 of these incredible female founders have created and maintained remarkable relationships. Saawan and Linda of North Water are great examples! They are business partners who have an incredible relationship built on trust, connection, honesty, and hard work. They share how this affects the culture of North Water and what makes it unique and special, and how trusting your partner and your team is so important!

I have had so much fun this season, talking to these amazing female founders, and would love to hear from you! What other themes did you pick up on? What discussions would you like to have in Season 2?

I also wanted to take the opportunity to say that I am launching a new coaching program called the “CEO Inner Circle” for women who are looking to level up in their leadership and build an inspiring work culture. If you want to grow and scale your business while having a culture that is authentic and true to you, I promise you will NOT want to miss this! Check out the details here!

Thank you for a phenomenal season and for being a part of the Female Founder Friday Podcast! It has been so inspiring to connect with all our guests – and all of you! I can’t wait to be back in the Fall and bring you another incredible season!

On today’s episode, I have the privilege of sitting down and speaking with not one, but two passionate and inspiring female founders - Linda and Saawan of North Water. Proud immigrants to Canada, they found each other 12 years ago. In their travels across the world, and to the Rocky Mountains, they noticed that there was a large amount of garbage and plastic bottles wherever they went – and it inspired them to leave their established careers to take action. Their purpose is truly inspiring, and it goes to show how passionate they are to dive in, and make something happen.

That doesn’t mean that decision, or their path, has been an easy one! North Water started March 1st, 2020 – and 15 days later there was a province-wide lockdown as a global pandemic swept swiftly into Canada. Nobody could have foreseen the world shutting down and starting a new business during a pandemic has proven to be challenging.

Linda and Saawan’s practical advice is to:

Surround yourself with a high-performing team, with people you can trust that have the entrepreneurial spirit. You will always make mistakes, but your team helps you get through everything a little bit faster. They make the challenges easier to tackle. It’s the people that make the magic happen.
Find a confidant you can share the journey with, a solid support network.
Remind yourself that your mental health is so important; you need to take care of yourself.
Celebrate the small wins! Be grateful, and put your energy behind the small wins, so you can get after the big ones ahead.
Believe in yourself and, more importantly, be your true authentic self.
Don’t lose sight of your vision, your goal.

North Water is local, glacier water from the Rockies. Our Canadian glaciers are clean and pristine, giving us the best water in the world. The bottles are made without plastic, from infinitely recyclable aluminum. Aluminum can be recycled many different times without losing its integrity and doesn’t have to be recycled and made into a new bottle – it can be reused as many different things, making it an incredible sustainable option! You can find Linda and Saawan on their website, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram – or if you want to send them a message, email them here!

Today’s Podcast guest, Lindsay Recknell, is a speaker, facilitator and mental health advocate who has experienced the power of hope firsthand and used it to create positive change in her life. Lindsay’s work is all about helping others rediscover hope amid challenge – and teaching us how to use it to create radical positive change in our lives.

As an expert in hope and a Certified Psychological Health & Safety Advisor, Lindsay works with organizations to increase their levels of psychological health & safety in the workplace using the Science of Hope – evidence-based, practical tips and techniques to increase levels of hope within organizations by increasing hope levels in individuals. She empowers individuals, strengthens teams and transforms organizations through her Hope Motivates Action, Mental Health in Minutes and Burnout & Boundaries programs. Lindsay lives in Calgary with her husband and their two Golden Retrievers.

In today’s episode, Lindsay shares her journey as a ‘serial entrepreneur’ – from consulting, to partnering for Actionable Books, jumping into the wedding industry, and now owning her two businesses on the science of hope, and mental health for teams.

In 2018, Lindsay experienced a cycle of burnout that caused her to crash and burn, in both her personal life and in her business in the wedding industry, because she was taking on too much at once. There was a moment where Lindsay recognized she was trying to play the hero and do everything for everyone – just like so many Female Founders – and it was time to take her cape off.

Lindsay turned to learning something new in order to recover from the burnout: Positive Psychology and the Science of Hope – the realization that hope is not a made up ‘woo woo’ thing within us, but is actually scientifically a part of our brain that pushes us forward toward towards amazing things.

Lindsay’s practical advice to other Female Founders is: don’t cheap out on web design and development – just because you believe you can do all the things as an entrepreneur, does not mean you should!

And her mindset advice is to have self-awareness. For Lindsay, it’s important to be aware of her ‘shiny squirrel syndrome,’ when she has so many ideas and wants to do all the things. Being aware of this allows Lindsay to stop and check-in, ask herself if she really needs to make a change, and gives her an opportunity to find new things within her business rather than creating a whole new business.

You can find Lindsay on her website, Instagram, Facebook, or on LinkedIn.

This weeks' podcast guest, Taya de Baat, is a born and raised Calgarian, wife, and mother of two miracle littles, Co-founder of Taylynn Business Solutions. Taya, is on a mission to support business owners on their journey to share their passion. With her background in management, marketing, and systemization, Taya and her team have helped many Canadian business owners design businesses that are streamlined and successful.

Taya literally grew up in business. It all started as a teen, watching her Mom as a successful entrepreneur, before catching the entrepreneurial bug herself. She soon joined her Mom as co-founder of Taylynn Business Solutions! The business has evolved from bookkeeping, layout and design, marketing, and now to business solutions – helping business owners with all the things they need.

As a family-owned business, including Taya’s Brother-In-Law, Taylynn Business Solutions have a unique business model. Taya believes that working with family is a given, and a real gift. Everyone has 'skin in the game'...more than the average business partnership. Boundaries, trust, and mutual respect of everyone’s unique skill sets are key parts of of their success. The three family members, along with their team of seven, are always asking the question “where can I help this business owner the most”?

Taya shares a lot of valuable information in this episode for business owners that are coming out of the "pivotal" year that 2020 was:

📌See every obstacle that was thrown (or will be) thrown your way as a learning opportunity; a way to evolve.

📌Recognize and focus on your specific zone of genius; you’ve got something that nobody else has!

📌Use a system – follow lists and checklists as much as possible.

📌Lastly, when you’re looking back on your business, focus on the growth you’ve had. On the things you have achieved... Too often business owners are looking at where they are or wish to be, instead of pausing to reflect on all that they have done so far.

You can find Taya on her website, Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook for all your digital marketing, systemization, and bookkeeping needs.

SPECIAL OFFER: Taya is offering a social media audit and consultation ($250 value) to the first 25 people that share what they learned in this episode and tag her on social media! What an incredible value!

Today’s Podcast guest Dawn O'Connor isn't just the founder of Focus Bubbles, she's also the Chief Bubble Host. I can tell you from experience that she has an incredible ability to make everyone feel welcome, capable, and ready to GSD (get sh*t done.)

Dawn created Focus Bubbles during Covid when clients were seeing their teams struggling to stay connected and focused; companies were wanting to keep remote work as productive as possible. Dawn felt called to respond to this need in a way that built community and went beyond the free webinars that were becoming so common.

Focus Bubbles are fun, facilitated co-working spaces - think study hall for grown-ups – that provide community accountability. They create the space to make a statement and follow through with it. Designed to help you reach your maximum productivity levels without a "feet to the fire" feeling, focus bubbles are about giving you a way to connect while you decrease procrastination and discover exactly what you can accomplish in the timeframe.

The key pieces of advice Dawn has for other Female Founders are don't be afraid to ask for help, it’s okay to rely on your network, and most importantly, know your numbers! Recognizing what you give to the community can help you ask for help in return. Knowing your numbers – exactly what you’re spending and earning for each new client – will bring you a lot of clarity. You want to know exactly what you need to do to get where you want to go!

You can find Focus Bubbles on their website, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. If you're curious about reducing your own levels of procrastination, improving your productivity, and connecting to others while you GSD, you can sign up for a free Bubble!

My guest this week, Pauline Greenidge, knew from a very young age that she wanted to work for herself. And it's no surprise that as Founder and Principal at UpWard HR, her business is built around some very personal experiences of reinvention, resilience, curiosity and possibilities. Pauline can trace her journey of connection and resilience back to when her family relocated from the bustling city of Calgary, to the small town of Claresholm in her teen years. As the only family of color, she began to understand how important connection, creating relationship, and the value of belonging truly is.

Pauline's had a wonderful career in human resources, but being a part of the Suncor/Petro Canada merger was definitely a pivotal moment in her experience. From that incredible experience came her book; 'A Grand Dinner Party: Setting the Table for Employee Engagement Through Mergers and Acquisitions'where she explores the employee perspective through these challenging and disruptive events. Now, in her HR consulting practice, Pauline encourages all of her clients to create engaging cultures, and inclusive workplaces, that support and engage their teams through times of change.

It's Pauline‘s philosophy of approaching every opportunity from a 'mindset of invitation' (a phrase I just love!) and staying open to all possibilities that has clearly lead to her success. You can connect with Pauline by email, Twitter, on her website, and through LinkedIn, where she's always providing great content for leaders and teams.

A Grand Dinner Party: Setting the Table for Employee Engagement Through Mergers and Acquisitions

If there's one word to describe Kim Hayden, it's resilience. From a "crap-tastic" childhood (her words!) in Wichita, Kansas, to a successful career as a TV host and producer, all the way to an award winning career as a real estate agent, Kim's career is a colorful as she is!

Now, as the founder of the Resilient Series, Kim promotes and empowers women in business with her passionate message of resilience. And she's taking that message of community and collaboration global! Her goal is to spread the word resilience, and the hope that it brings, to all women. No matter where they are or what they do.

Her first book Resilient Women In Real Estate is a unique collaboration with eight power-house industry professionals, and is an essential guide to developing resilience in a very competitive industry. And she's already bubbling with more books to come in the series.

You can always find Kim on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and of course her website where she's always cooking up something new and exciting!

Brandy Payne is a champion for workplace mental health. From her time as an Associate Minister of Health here in Alberta, and now in her own practice, she has focused on bringing mental health to the forefront for organizations, leaders and their teams.

It's Brandy's unique approach, that one size definitely does not fit all, that makes her unique as a workplace mental health consultant. She is particularly passionate about helping those who are high-performing and don't respond to traditional programs and suggestions. That's why she talks about "dodging" burnout and creates custom programs that are so impactful.

Brandy's also had an entrepreneurial journey of her own over the past few years, as she's build her practice after leaving government. Her biggest win was really being able to hone in on what her clients really needed, where their real pain points were, so that she could really be of service. Ironically, it's the pandemic, and the mental health fall-out, that's helped her build some very powerful and impactful programs.If you, or your team are looking for an exceptional workplace mental health consultant to support your team you can find Brandy on her website and LinkedIn where she always offers great content that I know you'd find valuable.

Susan Elford is a serial creator and community builder. She has an incredible talent for bringing people together, aligning them all to a purpose, and energizing the group to make amazing things happen. She's also a PR pro, communications master, and coach extraordinaire!

It was Susan's drive to find success in her work, and her life, that led her to start Elford Communications 18 years ago. When she started her family Susan knew she didn't want to give up the career she loved, even though her priorities were shifting. Susan wanted to fit her work into to her life, not the other way around. So she struck out on her own and never looked back!

Her move to coaching was very organic, and now through Susan Elford Coaching & Consulting, she helps female entrepreneurs (like me!) start and grow their businesses, and find that work and life blend we all desire.

You can find Susan on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, as well as at Lean In Calgary, where she's always creating new connections, programs and an incredible community of female leaders.

Robin has created something really beautiful with her Lymph Balance Centre. It's a peaceful, but also joyful space, that welcomes clients as they invest in their own health and wellness. It's the little things that make the difference...like custom essential oil blends, and warm cozy beds. It's even Robin's own original dot-art that graces the walls. The atmosphere is so soothing.

But it's not just about creating a healing space for clients. Robin has also created a great culture for her team of highly trained specialists. She wants them to feel confident, respected and cared for so they can do their best work with their clients.

It's Robin's sense of adventure and 'go big' attitude that's created this amazing space. She knew it was a gamble, but she went with her intuition and it's resulted in a amazing community. And she's excited about what the future will bring.

You can check out this amazing space here, and see the amazing lineup of specialized services the Lymph Balance Centre offers. Robin also posts regularly on Facebook and Instagram, and has started a wonderful online community where she shares tons of great information. Follow her today!

Denise Summers is an incredible Business Storyteller. As the owner of Amphora Communications she guides entrepreneurs and small businesses owners as they craft communications that speak right to the heart and soul of their clients.

It's Denise's own story that is super compelling! She decided, in her early 40s, to leave her lucrative corporate career and go back to school. She became the oldest student in her program at Mount Royal University, studying right alongside people her kids age. 14 years later she's never looked back!

As a keen observer, and endlessly curious human, Denise loves to uncover what makes people tick, and help them tell their story. She's always got a thousand questions. But after years of hard work Denise knows that becoming and overnight success is totally a myth, and that to grow a successful business consistency is key, especially in your communications and marketing.

You can find Denise, and Amphora Communications on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where she'd love to connect and help you craft your message.

Susan Kandalft has had an incredible career. And there's no doubt that her success is grounded in her own work ethic, as well as her ability to build incredible relationships. That's a big part of why her business Executive Solutions is celebrating 35 years in business in 2021!

Susan's self described "PhD in Recruitment and People" has been earned through lots of heart and hustle over the years. Amazingly, she does business today with hiring managers, whom she placed in roles 30 year ago. That kind of loyalty speaks volumes about the incredible relationships this Female Founder creates.

But, as she tells us in this week's' episode of Female Founder Fridays, there were times when she neglected her own health and wellness, and some of her relationships along the way. At times it's even left her feeling a bit resentful and burnt out. But despite a cancer battle (she's now happy and health!) she's still driven to connect great people with really amazing opportunities.

You can find Susan on LinkedIn, and her amazing Executive Solutions team on their website, LinkedIn or on Facebook, where they are always on the hunt for great talent!

My guest on episode #4 of Female Founder Fridays is the owner of Quiet Pathways, Tracy Guillet. Tracy is a councillor who has focused her practice on introverted teens and adults.

As a self professed "quiet person", Tracy spent most of her life feeling like she didn't quite fit in our extroverted world. As she embraced her authentic, introverted self she began to see things differently and with greater confidence.

Now, Tracy is passionate about supporting others, particularly teens and young adults, as they navigate their own journey in truly embracing their introvert self.

I personally have spent time with Tracy, in order to better understand the introverts in my life, and I can tell you the insights (even for this High Voltage extrovert) have been amazing.

Tracy regularly creates amazing content, geared towards quiet people and the challenges they face, on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook that you should definitely check out! Or you can connect with her directly right here. Thanks for listening in!

Thank you for joining me for Episode #3 of Female Founder Fridays! My guest, Kelly Sinclair from KS Communications, is someone who I love connecting and collaborating with!

Like so many Female Founders (including me!), she didn't actually intend to start her own business. Kelly changed her mind after some really challenging times in her personal life that made her rethink the way she wanted to work. She's also very open and vulnerable that she experienced some failure early on in her business, and that she learned some incredible things along the way. It's her commitment to her own "why", and how passionate she is about her business, that's driving her success today.

Kelly has a really great program called Brand Message Mastery that she's created just for solopreneurs and small businesses owners that's open now for applications. So if you need help to figure out what your brand message is, you need to connect with Kelly.

You can also fined Kelly on Facebook or on Instagram where she's got a ton of amazing tips and tricks for you.

I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we did having it. See you next Friday!

Thank you for joining me for Episode #2 of Female Founder Fridays! In this inaugural episode I'm chatting with my dear friend Nancy Hoeght the Owner & Creative Designer at Blondie Baskets.

In our chat Nancy talks about what inspired her to start her custom curated basket company, how she's filling her beautiful baskets with locally created goodies and lots of love, and also what she's learned along the way. We chat openly about that dreaded Critical Voice that sometimes gets in the way, and how Nancy has been able to just "push through with passion" to create a business that she loves.

You can reach Nancy on Facebook or on Instagram where she'll create a beautiful experience in a basket just for you.

I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we did having it.

P.S. There are a few "adult" words in this episode so be careful which small ears are listening!

Welcome to the very first episode of Female Founder Friday! I thought it was only right that I share my story with you to kick off this amazing project. I'm so pleased to be vulnerable and share with you my journey to being a Female Founder, and how I combine my two passions, for leadership coaching and people strategy, to support and guide other business owners.
