In each episode, Janet—a trusted advisor to global executives and former Fortune 200 leader—guides you through the real challenges we don't talk about enough: reinventing yourself at midlife, navigating life transitions, leading with intuition in an AI-driven world, and integrating your spiritual and professional selves. This isn't your typical leadership podcast filled with quick tips and surface-level advice.

Whether you're facing an empty nest, caring for aging parents, questioning your purpose at 50, or simply craving more authentic connection in your leadership, this podcast meets you where the personal and professional intersect.
Janet brings her intuitive approach and decades of experience to conversations with guests who have reinvented themselves, thought leaders exploring the intersection of spirituality and business, and experts navigating our new era of constant change. Together, we explore what it means to stop following and start creating a future that aligns with your soul.
If you're ready to move beyond conventional wisdom and dive into the inner work that creates lasting transformation, welcome to The Inner Edge. This is where leadership meets life, and where your authentic self becomes your greatest asset.

E136: Create a Mind Vision and Step Into Your Future Self
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us start the new year thinking about goals, resolutions, and vision boards. But the kind of transformation we talk about on The Inner Edge doesn’t happen on a poster board—it happens inside of you.
In this episode, Janet guides you through a powerful internal practice she calls a mind vision, a mental image of your future self that becomes the compass for how you show up, lead, and live this year.
Instead of describing the concept alone, Janet takes you through a grounding, experiential exercise that helps you embody this future version of yourself—shifting the way you make decisions, hold boundaries, and carry your presence each day.
This is the deeper work of becoming, not performing.
In this episode:
✅ Why traditional vision boards only focus on outcomes and what they miss
✅ The difference between wanting change and becoming the person who naturally creates it
✅ How your “future self effect” shapes behavior, confidence, and decision-making
✅ A guided mind vision practice to clarify who you’re growing into this year
✅ How to stop letting old patterns, anxieties, and versions of yourself lead your life
✅ Why identity, not goals, drives real, lasting transformation
