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.
The Inner Edge is for leaders who are tired of compartmentalizing who they are and ready for deeper, more meaningful conversations. 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.

E59: Developing Warriors for the Human Spirit with Margaret Wheatley (Part 2)
“A warrior for the human spirit is the sane human being wanting to serve an insane, inhumane time.”
Welcome back to the rest of my conversation with Dr. Margaret Wheatley. If you missed the last episode where we started our conversation, I really encourage you to go back and listen to it before you start this one.
If you're not familiar with Dr. Margaret Wheatley, you're missing out. She is the author of the classic and iconic book “Leadership and the New Science”. I was exposed to that book early on in my career, and she was one of the first people to tie quantum theory and quantum science to leadership.
In Part 2, we talk about what a warrior for the human spirit is, how you can go about creating meaningful change as a leader, and so much more.
In this episode:
- Warriors of the human spirit
- Developing spiritual depth to be in service of others
- A fundamental flaw in leadership today
- Focusing on who you are being rather than what you are doing as a leader
- Advice for leaders wanting to create meaningful change
- And more!
