We live in a world that bombards us with advice, hacks, tips, and strategies for doing life and leadership “better.” But what if the real answer isn’t more information, but more space?

In this raw and soul-touching solo episode, Janet opens a new chapter of The Inner Edge podcast. She invites us into a more honest conversation about what it means to lead and live with our whole selves, especially when the outer performance doesn’t reflect the inner truth.

Drawing from her deeply human experiences with executive clients navigating everything from leadership pressure to divorce, burnout, and aging parents, Janet shares why the most powerful leadership work starts inside.

And why space—not strategy, tools, or frameworks—may be the thing we’re all craving the most.

In this episode:

• Why Janet is reshaping The Inner Edge and what to expect in this new season
• How too much advice can drown your inner voice
• What real-life executive clients are actually struggling with behind the scenes
• The emotional toll of performing while privately unraveling
• Why space, not steps, is often what we truly need to grow
• A powerful reminder that it’s not just you, everyone is navigating something messy
• How to reconnect with your inner truth and rediscover your "inner edge"
• The shift from performative leadership to soulful presence
