The Resilient Woman Leadership Podcast

Episode: Alcohol Freedom for High-Achieving Women, with Anna Charles

Podcast 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.

Anna's key insight: Alcohol freedom isn't about giving something up — it's about getting things back: your time, your energy, your clarity, and the version of yourself you actually like.

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 struggles
• The warning signs of silent stress that are easy to overlook
• How chronic stress and trauma affect both leadership and long-term health
• The unique pressures women face balancing leadership, family, and societal expectations
• Why many women feel they must lead like men to succeed
• The role of self-compassion in sustainable leadership
• How authentic connection helps us navigate difficult seasons without suffering alone

This 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.

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 children
• Why "family responsibilities" extend far beyond parenting
• The invisible impact of infertility, miscarriage, and grief at work
• How childless and childfree women are often expected to do more
• Leadership, resilience, and creating inclusive workplaces
• The dangers of burnout and the courage to choose a different path
• Defining 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.

Episode 4: 

Welcome to another solo episode of the Resilient Woman Leadership podcast with Kathryn Regganie.

In today's rapidly shifting world, pressure is mounting—from economic uncertainty and political tension to rising expectations in the workplace. For high-achieving women in leadership, the squeeze can feel relentless.

So how do you stay calm in chaos without shrinking your power? How do you ground yourself in credibility without defaulting to over-performance or burnout?

In this episode, I'll walk you through the subtle (but costly) patterns I'm seeing in resilient women right now—and share how to regulate your energy, re-center your nervous system, and reclaim your influence with clarity and confidence.

This is for you if you've been feeling:

• Snappy, stressed, or overly responsible.

• Drained from being the "fixer" or the "emotional airbag" in your team or home.

• Pressured to hold it all together—even when you're exhausted.

Let's shift that narrative.

In this episode, I'll share:

1. 1. The Leadership Stoplight – Recognize when you're in fight, flight, freeze… or flow.

   2. The 4x4 Breath Reset – A nervous system tool to interrupt reactivity and restore calm.

   3. The Conscious Response Formula – A moment-to-moment leadership practice to shift out of pressure and into presence.

Insight to take with you:

"Resilient women don't just push through the pressure—they learn to read it, regulate it, and rise above it."

You don't have to choose between power and peace. There's a grounded, centered leadership path available—and I'll show you how to access it.

Episode Summary:

Too many women believe that leadership must come at a cost — their health, happiness, and personal peace. But what if the opposite is true?

In this episode of Resilient Woman Leadership, Kathryn Regganie challenges the myth that effective leadership has to hurt. She shares how unresolved stress and burnout silently undermine your credibility and impact, and why healing is not a luxury, but a leadership strategy.

If you've been pushing through, over-performing, and sacrificing your well-being to be seen as strong, this conversation is your invitation to step off the treadmill and lead from a place of calm, clarity, and authentic presence.

Episode Highlights:

"Healing builds authority without the edge of burnout. It's how we move from reacting to responding. From pushing through to leading with presence." – Kathryn Regganie

• Women in leadership are often rewarded for over-functioning — but it comes at a cost

• Healing your nervous system and leadership energy makes you magnetic and trustworthy

• Presence and authenticity create more influence than performance ever could

Podcast Show Notes:

Host: Kathryn Regganie

Guest: Dr. Kate Dee

Episode Summary 

In this episode, I sit down with Katherine Dee to discuss the deeper purpose behind aesthetic treatments and skincare. We break down common misconceptions about the industry and explore how skincare can be an empowering, personal choice rather than a pursuit of perfection. Katherine shares insights on how treatments can enhance natural beauty, address skin concerns like rosacea, and ultimately help people feel more confident in their own skin.

We also talk about the importance of doing these treatments for yourself rather than external validation, and Katherine shares a fun story about how a leather jacket purchase became a symbol of personal confidence and self-expression.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The truth behind common myths about aesthetic treatments
• Why skincare is about feeling good, not just about reducing wrinkles
• How to approach skin concerns in a way that aligns with your values
• The role of self-confidence in beauty decisions
• A fun perspective on investing in pieces (like a great leather jacket) that make you feel amazing

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Kate Dee's journey is anything but conventional. A New York City native, she set her sights on medicine early, earning a BS in Biology from Yale in 1989 and an MD from Yale in 1994. After completing her residency in Diagnostic Imaging at the University of Washington and a Breast Imaging fellowship at UCSF, she spent years dedicated to women's health, working at the Seattle Breast Center.

Then, a mentor's advice planted a seed: Change careers at least once—if not twice—to keep learning and growing. Though she initially dismissed the idea, an unexpected opportunity to train in Botox injections set her on a path she never anticipated. What began as a curiosity evolved into a bold career shift, launching Dr. Dee into the fast-paced, unregulated world of medical aesthetics.

Now, as a physician, entrepreneur, and author, Dr. Dee brings a critical and insightful perspective to the Wild West of med spas. Her book dives into the surprising realities behind the beauty industry, sharing her personal journey and the fascinating, sometimes shocking, experiences that come with it. If you've ever considered Botox—or know someone who has—her story is one you won't want to miss.
