947 | Releasing Burnout to Create Space for Change with Lisa Blanchet

In this episode, Marsha and Meg speak with Lisa Blanchet. Lisa is a Change Coach, facilitator, trainer, and midlife catalyst who helps women and leaders navigate moments when life feels uncertain and everything is up for renegotiation. After 25+ years leading transformation across industries, and her own journey through burnout, Lisa now guides women in midlife to rewrite the stories that limit them and live a life that feels like theirs. She also partners with leadership teams to build alignment, strengthen collaboration, and lead people-centric change with clarity and confidence. Her work blends lived experience, practical tools, and a deep belief that change is personal, courageous, and possible at any age.
