In this episode, entrepreneur and copywriter Jamie Blair shares her journey from running her own business in the U.S. to relocating to Malta. She openly discusses the realities versus perceptions of when the dream life on paper doesn't match the lived experience and the difficult decisions that come with personal and professional growth.

• How Jamie pivoted from her copywriting business to a new chapter abroad
• The day-to-day realities of living the self-employed “dream” versus the social media version
• Facing burnout, losing passion for your business, and making big changes
• The emotional impact and self-talk around quitting and starting new
• The importance of self-trust and reframing “sunk costs” on your personal journey

To learn more about Jaime:

Jaime is a brand storyteller and copywriter. She helps businesses uncover the unique story that captures who they are, what they do, and why it matters. Then she turns it into website copy that makes their ideal clients obsessed. Committed to following intuition over convention, she packed two suitcases and her cat and moved to Malta three years ago. Since then she's been figuring out life like everyone else, just with a dreamy sixteenth-century Mediterranean village as a backdrop.

In this episode of the WADI podcast, host Kimberly Benoit sits down with financial advisor Jenevieve Lenz for an empowering conversation about women, leadership, and financial literacy. They break down intimidating finance jargon, share real-life stories, and offer actionable tips for women professionals and small business owners. Jenevieve Lenz explains the vital difference between investment advisors and financial planners, the importance of working with a fiduciary, and how to proactively build a solid financial foundation before life throws you a curveball. 

If you’re ready to feel more confident with your money, avoid common mistakes, and get practical strategies on budgeting, emergency funds, and navigating transitions like layoffs or starting your own business, this episode is for you. Kimberly Benoit and Jenevieve Lenz also discuss the unique obstacles women face in finance—and why it’s crucial to take charge of your financial story. --- 

About Jenevieve:

Jeneviève Lenz is the proud owner and founder of Lenz4Women Consulting. She enjoys sharing a variety of financial education topics with professional women who are most often dealing with one or more major transitions in their life.

 Jeneviève as a third generation entrepreneur,  passionate about providing financial insight and integrated support.  She provides first class education to help women avoid  many common financial pitfalls.

 Her reasons for becoming a financial advisor, educator and financial planning professional are routed in her family’s history of entrepreneurs. Several things unraveled with her grandfather’s estate from a financial and estate planning perspective that could have been avoided.

 She realized that many single women and savvy business owners face quite a few challenges as they near retirement and get older.  Many of these "financial hiccups" can be avoided with key education and careful and integrated planning.

In this empowering episode of WADI, host Kimberly Benoit dives deep into the complex realities of burnout, shining a light on how it uniquely affects professionals—especially leaders.

Kimberly shares personal anecdotes and real-life examples to illustrate the diverse ways burnout appears, emphasizing that it's not a one-size-fits-all experience.

Discover the three key dimensions of burnout—exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness—and why leaders are particularly vulnerable. Kimberly discusses the emotional labor, decision fatigue, responsibility weight, and loneliness that come with leadership, revealing why managers often feel isolated and overwhelmed. More importantly, she offers practical, easy-to-implement grounding practices to boost self-awareness, set boundaries, and strengthen connection before burnout hits its breaking point.

In addition to leading the Beanstalk Creative team, he maintains a busy schedule as a keynote speaker on workplace culture, creating unforgettable spectacles on stage. He's the father of 3 kids, 2 of whom co-habitated a uterus, and he attempts to be a good husband.

He’s a seasoned barbershop quartet singer, he formerly chaired the board of the world-renowned Hamilton Children’s Choir, and he's a semi-competitive joggler (that's right... juggling whilst jogging).  Learn more at joelhilchey.com

Work with Kimberly 1:1 to build stronger teams and lead with confidence.

In this episode, "Part 3: Consistency," host Kimberly Benoit dives into the often-overlooked pillar of genuine engagement: consistency. Through relatable stories and hard-earned leadership lessons, Kimberly explores why consistency is more than just sticking to the rules—it’s about building real trust, showing up for your team, and creating an environment where people feel valued and secure.

She breaks down the three critical types of consistency every leader needs: behavioral (walking your talk), emotional (being a steady presence), and follow-through consistency (keeping your promises). Kimberly doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff, sharing how overcommitment, perfectionism, poor time management, and burnout can undermine even the best intentions—and offers actionable advice for getting back on track when you slip up.

The episode wraps up the series on the three pillars of engagement, leaving you with a big question: what is the real, lived experience of being led by you? Engagement, after all, isn’t theoretical—it’s daily, practical, and one genuine interaction at a time.

Whether you’re leading a team or aspiring to, this episode is packed with real talk, honest stories, and practical tools to elevate your impact. Listen in to learn why authentic, consistent leadership is the true foundation of a truly engaged team.
