    Silent Stress: What Every High Performing Leader Needs to Know

    The Resilient Woman Leadership PodcastEpisode: Alcohol Freedom for High-Achieving Women, with Anna CharlesPodcast Summary (Show Notes)Guest: Anna Charles — Alcohol Freedom Coach, best-selling author of The Off Switch, and host of the 90 Days Later podcast Host: Kathryn Regganie Ten years ago, Anna Charles was a Fortune 500 vice president: highly successful, highly functioning — and drinking more than she wanted to. She wasn't at rock bottom, and from the outside her life looked like a success story. But privately, she was stuck in an exhausting nightly negotiation between wanting to drink less and reaching for alcohol anyway. In this episode, Anna joins Kathryn to talk about how she rewired that pattern herself, without AA, without labels, and without an all-or-nothing approach — and how that personal breakthrough became her coaching practice, her book, and her app. In this episode, Anna and Kathryn discuss: The high-functioning gray area. Anna wasn't at rock bottom, didn't identify as an alcoholic, and didn't fit any label — she was just a successful woman quietly negotiating with herself every night. That's the entry point most listeners will recognize themselves in. The coat-and-shoes trick. Her first change wasn't quitting — it was taking off her coat and shoes before pouring a drink. A tiny pause that broke years of autopilot. Concrete, doable, and instantly relatable. The high-functioning gray area.

    Silent Stress: What Every High-Preforming Leader Needs to Know

    What if the strongest person in the room is the one struggling the most? In this powerful conversation, Kathryn Regganie sits down with former RCMP Superintendent Jennifer Hyland to explore the hidden cost of high-performance leadership. After more than 26 years in policing, Jennifer learned firsthand that resilience isn't about pushing harder—it's about recognizing when strength has quietly become self-sacrifice. Jennifer shares the deeply personal story behind her book Tightrope: Balancing Duty with Courage and Conviction, including the moment she realized that appearing to "have it all together" was preventing authentic connection with those around her. She also opens up about "silent stress," her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, and how that experience transformed the way she led others. Together, Kathryn and Jennifer discuss: Why high-achieving leaders often hide their strugglesThe warning signs of silent stress that are easy to overlookHow chronic stress and trauma affect both leadership and long-term healthThe unique pressures women face balancing leadership, family, and societal expectationsWhy many women feel they must lead like men to succeedThe role of self-compassion in sustainable leadershipHow authentic connection helps us navigate difficult seasons without suffering aloneThis conversation is ultimately about redefining what strength looks like. True leadership isn't built on pretending you're invincible. It's built on the courage to acknowledge your humanity, listen to what your body is telling you, and create space for others to do the same. If you've ever felt the pressure to hold it all together while quietly carrying more than anyone realizes, this episode is for you.

    Leading Your Own Way

    What happens when a woman’s life doesn’t fit society’s expectations? In this candid conversation, Kathryn Regganie sits down with technology leader and Senior Technical Program Manager Julie Wulff to explore a topic that is rarely discussed in professional circles: navigating a successful career without children. Julie shares her experience of being childless not by choice, including the hidden grief of infertility, fertility treatments, miscarriage, and the challenge of carrying those experiences while leading in high-pressure corporate environments. Kathryn offers her perspective as a woman who chose not to have children, highlighting the assumptions, stereotypes, and expectations often placed on women whose lives look different from the traditional narrative. Together, they discuss: The workplace assumptions made about women without childrenWhy "family responsibilities" extend far beyond parentingThe invisible impact of infertility, miscarriage, and grief at workHow childless and childfree women are often expected to do moreLeadership, resilience, and creating inclusive workplacesThe dangers of burnout and the courage to choose a different pathDefining success on your own terms This episode is ultimately about something bigger than motherhood. It's about identity, belonging, and recognizing that meaningful lives—and meaningful leadership—come in many different forms. At Resilient Woman Leadership, we believe there is no single path to a meaningful life or impactful leadership.
