About this listen

Life Intended is more than just a podcast. It’s a movement.

Hosted by Kelly Berry and Sadie Wackett, Life Intended is your space to break free from living on autopilot and step into a life designed with purpose, power, and self-trust.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected or stuck...you’re not alone. We’ve been there, too.

This show is for women who are ready to stop performing and start aligning. It’s for the high-achievers, the caretakers, the quietly burnt out and anyone craving more intention, clarity, and emotional wellness in their life.

Each week, you’ll hear real, raw conversations about:

  • Self-leadership and personal transformation
  • Mindset, resilience, and emotional wellness
  • Career transitions and redefining success
  • Motherhood, relationships, and identity
  • And we always share methods and tools you can actually practice in your life, not just more content to consume


Whether you’re in a season of change, searching for clarity, or just tired of living by someone else’s rules, Life Intended offers a new path forward grounded in alignment, community, and growth.

This is the movement back to your voice, your truth, and your power.

Welcome to Life Intended. Let’s do this together.

I loved the first episode of this podcast, and appreciate the openness of the Kelly and Lindsay, with their experiences and personal insights. The questions they brought up made me ask myself, “Am I really putting in my best effort to make the changes I want in my life?” I also felt the candor of questions around social media posts from people noting how spouses and friends are “making them better people…”. really?! How?!

It was highly relatable and I think Lindsay’s phrase of we are all “building the plane as we are flying it” is one I will certainly keep in mind, both as I stumble and when I succeed. Thanks so much ladies for a great listen! Looking forward to more. 🌻💕

Great and easy listen that makes you self reflect…
