In this inspiring episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria sits down with Cheryl Fischer, Certified Life and Mindset Coach, podcast host of Mind Your Midlife, and a powerful voice for women embracing midlife reinvention. Cheryl shares her unique path from corporate leadership in airline pricing to teaching high school math, and finally to coaching midlife women toward confidence, clarity, and a life they truly love.

Together, Lisa and Cheryl explore:

• How early leadership experiences shaped Cheryl’s identity
• The pivotal moment that sparked her career change
• The burnout that signaled it was time to leap again
• Why midlife is the perfect time to reclaim your voice, purpose, and personal power

In this inspiring and relatable episode of Ladies Who Leap, we're diving deep into what it truly means to leap out of your comfort zone—especially as a woman navigating midlife and rediscovering purpose.

You’ll hear how one unexpected kitchen conversation with her husband became the catalyst for a complete mindset transformation—shifting from complaint to conscious creation. We explore how women are often conditioned to deprioritize their own dreams, how societal messages label self-care as selfish, and what it really takes to break through those limiting beliefs.

We also unpack real coaching moments, including a powerful story about Cheryl’s client who struggled with fear-based inaction. Cheryl explains how identifying emotions, reframing self-talk, and using affirmations (including her unique “but affirmation” method) can create the momentum needed for lasting change.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your career, questioning your next chapter, or simply seeking inspiration from another woman who dared to leap, this episode is filled with relatable stories, mindset wisdom, and empowering takeaways.

Tune in for a real, heartfelt conversation about courage, career pivots, and creating a midlife you love.

In this episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria sits down with executive coach, consultant, and workplace strategist Rene Madden for a powerful conversation on leadership, reinvention, and the courage it takes to leap into your next chapter—before life forces your hand.

Rene brings a wealth of insight from her decades-long career in asset management, where she held senior positions at prestigious firms like Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. But her true impact has come through her transition into coaching, where she now helps professionals and organizations navigate change, lead with confidence, and create thriving, high-performing teams.

She’s the author of Crush It: Conquer Workplace Challenges and a master of turning challenges into catalysts for growth. Drawing from frameworks like StrengthsFinder, DISC, and Tiny Habits, Renee guides mid to senior-level leaders toward clarity, influence, and sustainable success.

In this episode, Renee shares how growing up as a “rebel” in a small Pennsylvania town laid the foundation for her bold, authentic leadership style. She opens up about the pivotal career moments that pushed her to evolve, and how she’s now using her expertise to help others grow their careers before burnout, breakdown, or boredom set in.

You’ll also get an inside look at the power of owning your voice, trusting your instincts, and giving yourself permission to pivot—even when the world expects you to stay the course.

And, fun fact—this is actually take two of our conversation. We recorded the full episode once before… and someone (hi, Lisa!) forgot to hit record. But we both agree, this version is even better—because just like life, things don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

Whether you're navigating a career crossroads, craving deeper purpose, or simply need a dose of inspiration, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to leap.

In this inspiring episode of Ladies Who Leap, Lisa Andria interviews Georgi Enthoven, globally recognized speaker, advisor, and author of Work That’s Worth It: The Ambitious Professional’s Guide for a High-Impact, High-Reward Career. Georgi shares her journey from feeling torn between doing good and earning well, to discovering a career path that integrates both. Aimed at purpose-driven professionals aged 25–35, her book serves as a roadmap for aligning work with values, sustainability, and social good—without sacrificing financial stability.

Georgi discusses the importance of redefining success, empowering young professionals to embrace the mindset of “getting to” change the world rather than feeling obligated to. She also introduces the idea of “Disruptors for Good”—individuals who are successfully modeling fulfilling, impactful careers. Together, Lisa and Georgi explore how we can inspire a new generation to build careers that are heart-centered, high-performing, and deeply rewarding.

Discover the importance of aligning work with personal values, the challenges faced by the younger generation, and the potential of harnessing both income and social impact in one fulfilling career. Georgi and Lisa discuss the significance of finding that 'heart-centered' work and provide insights for young professionals eager to make a meaningful impact while sustaining their desired lifestyle.

Lisa and Georgi also discuss how values, experiences, and personal stories shape a person’s career direction. Georgi encourages parents and mentors to ask young people about their gifts, values, and lived experiences, helping them identify their unique capabilities beyond just skills or strengths. She stresses that while past experiences offer valuable insight, they don’t necessarily dictate your future career path. For example, she shares how her personal battle with mold toxicity gave her deep knowledge, but not a desire to work in that field—highlighting the importance of discerning between what you've lived through and what you want to live for.

Lisa contributes a practical NLP-based exercise to help listeners tap into their unconscious mind to uncover career values, and both women reflect on the power of tuning into intuition and trusting divine timing. Georgi shares the story of how she received the “download” to write her book and how, through coaching and feedback, she was guided to not just curate others’ stories, but courageously include her own. This leap of faith led to a second, more refined draft written specifically for a clear target audience—an important takeaway for aspiring authors.

The episode closes with powerful advice: if you're going to write a book, choose a topic you're willing to talk about for the next 10 years. Passion, curiosity, and clarity of purpose are not only essential for writing, but for living a meaningful, values-aligned life.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to redefine success on their own terms and take a leap toward a career that truly matters.
