What happens when a woman who spent decades pushing through burnout discovers a different way to live and lead?

Carole Jean Whittington, founder of the Women’s Well-Being Movement, sits down with host Natalie Benamou for a thoughtful conversation about energy, leadership, and what it means for women to reconnect with themselves.

Together they talk about how women experience stress, why complexity quietly builds in our lives, and the role collaboration and community play in expanding our capacity as leaders.

You’ll also hear Carole Jean’s memorable “spicy pepper” burnout scale, along with a simple breathing practice you can use anytime to center yourself during the day.

This conversation is a reminder that when women come together, share openly, and support each other, new possibilities emerge.

Listen in to the end for a meditation and feel uplifted for the rest of the day.
