Extraordinary Women Radio With Kami Guildner

Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Lauren Cashatt. After years in a successful corporate career, she began to feel a deeper pull toward something more meaningful. Through personal experiences and what she witnessed in the lives of people she loved, that calling became clear: to create support for families and individuals navigating substance use disorder. And alongside that work, she now coaches women who are in that very moment of transition. Women who have built success and are beginning to feel that pull toward something more aligned, more meaningful, and more connected to who they are becoming. She helps them take what can feel like an overwhelming inner nudge and begin to shape it into something real, something they can build, lead, and grow with intention. In This Episode: Why so many women are feeling called to something more, and how to trust that pull even when you don’t yet see the full path forward How to begin turning what’s been on your heart into something real without walking away from everyth

In Kami Guildner’s work with women entrepreneurs, she sees something beautiful unfolding. Women who have built real success are beginning to look at their businesses through a new lens. They are no longer only asking how to grow more… they are asking who they are becoming as they grow. They are asking how their business can support the life they desire, the impact they feel called to make, and the way they want to live and lead every day. There is a deep wisdom in that moment. A recognition that success is not just what you build, but how your business holds you. How it supports your energy, your relationships, your vision, and your next level of leadership. Today, Kami is joined by Mara Whitener. Mara has walked this path herself. She spent years knowing she was meant for something bigger, searching for how to live her purpose without sacrificing everything else in her life. What she discovered, and what she now teaches, is that spaciousness is not something you earn later. It is something you design now. I

In Kami Guildner’s work with women entrepreneurs and leaders, she is seeing a powerful shift. Many accomplished women are stepping back and reexamining the models of success that once shaped their careers and businesses. The pace, the pressure, the constant push for more growth and more output are no longer the only measures of success. Women are asking deeper questions about how they want to lead, how they want to work, and what prosperity really means in this next chapter. Today’s conversation lives right inside that moment. She is joined by Chelle Johnson, founder of Best You Talent Advisors. Chelle works with high-achieving executives and leaders navigating transition, reinvention, and the evolution of their next chapter. After decades inside complex organizations advising senior leaders and shaping talent strategy, she now helps accomplished women bring both strategic clarity and deep wisdom to the way they design their careers, businesses, and lives. In This Episode: Why so many accomplished women are

Across Kami Guildner’s conversations with women entrepreneurs, she senses a calling that many of us are feeling. A calling to lead differently. To trust our inner knowing more deeply. To move beyond the constant swirl of strategies and opinions and reconnect with the deeper wisdom that lives inside each of us. What she sees again and again with the women she works with is that the next level of leadership begins inside. It grows from the way we relate to our own authority, the way we make decisions, and the way we hold ourselves as leaders. Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Kerry Borcherding who has spent more than two decades studying psychology, neuroscience, and transformational leadership, helping founders and entrepreneurs upgrade their internal operating system so they can lead with clarity, coherence, and wisdom. In this conversation, they explore what is actually shifting in business and leadership right now, how leaders can recognize the true signal from the noise, and what it takes to reclaim

This quarter on Extraordinary Women Radio, we are exploring recalibration. What it means to realign how we lead, how we build, and how we define success in this season of business. Over the past year, Kami Guildner watched so many extraordinary women quietly reassess what matters. She has felt it in her own business, too. The pace. The priorities. The way we measure success. Recalibration is not about starting over. It’s about refining what is true now. It’s about leading from wisdom instead of pressure and allowing our work to reflect who we’ve become. Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Ronda Renée for a conversation about recalibrating from the inside out, aligning leadership with soul, and exploring what becomes possible when success is built on congruence and alignment. Kami and Ronda have long shared soul-centered conversations, and it was Ronda who helped Kami crystallize her three pillars—Vision, Voice, and Visibility—into her work. For anyone sensing a quiet recalibration happening within, this episode

In this special episode, Kami Guildner brings forward a vision she has held for years. She has long dreamed of creating a space where women’s voices, wisdom, and lived leadership could be captured in real time. At the Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference, that vision became reality through a live podcast booth experience featuring women entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and business owners sharing how leadership is evolving right now. Grateful to Katie Brinkley for recording these live conversations and holding meaningful space for every woman who stepped up to the mic, what unfolded was far more than a collection of interviews. It became a powerful collective expression of women leaders speaking candidly about how they are growing their businesses, expanding their visibility, and leading with clarity and intention in a rapidly changing world. In This Episode: Hear why trusting your intuition is becoming a powerful leadership strategy for women entrepreneurs who want aligned business growth and meaningful im

Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Erica Gifford Mills, an international speaker, award-winning author, leadership coach, and the founder of Balanced Symmetree and the International Women Speakers Summit.  Erica is a woman who has lived leadership from the inside out.

As women cross into 2026, Kami Guildner reflects on a year of listening to hundreds of women entrepreneurs and the truth that 2025 set the foundation for what is unfolding now, a year when women became more clear, more intentional, and more rooted, listening more closely to their inner wisdom, making decisions from a deeper place of knowing, and stepping into a new way of growing their businesses that brings together grounded presence, lived wisdom, voice, visibility, and leadership that is ready to be seen and felt in the world. In This Episode: Kami explores the insights gathered from a year-long listening campaign with established women entrepreneurs and how those conversations revealed what is shaping business growth, leadership, and visibility in 2026. Why 2025 became a year of recalibration for many women in business, marked by simplifying offers, refining focus, and choosing meaningful growth over constant noise and pressure. How relationship-driven marketing, trust, referrals, and warm visibility ar

Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Paige Wiese, the founder of Tree Ring Digital and one of Kami’s go-to experts when it comes to websites, digital marketing and keeping your online world running like an actual business asset, not just a pretty brochure. In this conversation, they unpack what is really working in digital marketing now, why so many businesses are leaving money on the table with their websites and why your digital assets and logins are as important as your bank accounts if you want to grow and eventually scale or sell. In This Episode: Why a “pretty website” is not enough and what actually makes a site a working business asset The most common gaps she sees in digital marketing including unclear calls to action and not using analytics or form tracking How she grew Tree Ring Digital by hiring to her team’s strengths instead of forcing everyone into one role Why digital asset management is now a critical part of your business and how access, logins and 2FA can halt a company when they are n

Every woman has felt the quiet tension between what she knows she brings to the table and what she actually gets paid. Today, Kami Guildner and Markey Read talk about what it really means to be paid what you’re worth, why so many women hesitate to claim their value, and how pricing decisions ripple far beyond our bank accounts into our confidence, families, and communities. This is a rich, honest conversation about worth, courage, and choosing to take your seat at the table fully and unapologetically. In This Episode: Why so many accomplished women underprice their expertise, and what actually shifts this How to factor decades of lived experience, education, and results into your pricing Why “industry standard” pricing is a trap and what matters more for a thriving business The real cost of discounting yourself financially and energetically How strengths and leadership style influence the offers you create and the work you are built to lead Why niching deeper often leads to more revenue, more joy, and bette

The impact our relationships have on our energy, our leadership, and the work we’re called to do in the world is something that every woman leading a business carries. Today, Kami Guildner is joined by Dr. Jeni Wahlig. She brings a refreshing perspective rooted in science, soul, and lived experience. Her work speaks to entrepreneurs because when your relationship feels heavy, unclear, or out of sync, it doesn’t stay in one corner of your life. It spills into your creativity, your confidence, and your capacity to show up for your mission. In This Episode: Why your relationship at home quietly shapes how you lead, create, and show up in your business What it looks like to stop carrying everything and start co-creating real support with your partner How to shift out of reactive conversations and into grounded, clear leadership in the moments that matter Why “communication tips” aren’t the whole answer, and what actually helps when emotions run high The truth behind “it only takes one” and how one woman changi

Kristen shares what makes a pitch meaningful, why authentic alignment matters, and how she matches her clients to partners that help them amplify their voice and impact. In This Episode: Why brand is more than a logo or platform and how it becomes a community people want to belong to Why traditional branding feels off for many women entrepreneurs and how to reclaim it in a way that feels true How mission, vision, and values create trust, loyalty, and long-term growth What elite athletics teaches us about leadership

If you’ve been feeling the shift in how women are selling, leading, and showing up… this episode is going to meet you right where you are.
