Saying YES to Living by Choice, Not by Chance with Jennifer Ledet
In this inspiring episode, Wendy welcomes leadership coach and author Jennifer Ledet for a rich conversation about agency, alignment, and how to live and lead with intention. Together, they explore what it means to "live and lead by choice, not by chance," a concept at the heart of Jennifer’s new book. Jennifer shares how honoring your creativity, building in white space, and embracing small, consistent habits can shift your entire life. They discuss boundary-setting, reflection as a leadership practice, and the importance of making decisions in advance that support the woman you’re becoming. Whether you're in the messy middle or reimagining your next chapter, this episode is a reminder that you have more choice than you think—and now is the perfect time to use it.
