A Podcast for Women in Business
The Happy LeadHer podcast is a community for women in leadership roles who want to have real conversations around things like burnout, managing stress, finding fulfillment, and how to lead yourself first.
Whether you work in corporate, a startup, or you’re running your own business, The Happy LeadHer will give you tips from wellness experts, badass entrepreneurs, and women just like you. If you’ve been looking for a community of women who are ready to take bold action and support each other along the way, you’re in the right place.
Meet your host, Lindsay May
After leading teams in corporate and startups most of my career, I learned that not only does it get lonely at the top — it can get quite toxic. I was working 10-12 hours a day consistently, experiencing extreme burnout, and even had near-daily panic attacks for years.
In December of 2022, I decided that I was no longer willing to compromise my peace, mental health, and happiness for a paycheck. I launched my own SEO and website business, The Happy Marketing Co., soon after.
I’m now on a mission to help women in leadership roles feel less lonely, find fulfillment, get practical tips for their health, and evolve as leaders in the business world through The Happy LeadHer podcast. We’re in this together.
xx, Lindsay

Are you experiencing stress or burnout, and you're starting to really feel it in your body? Maybe you're struggling with sleep, your gut is a mess, and your routine is completely off.
In today's episode of The Happy LeadHer podcast, we're talking with Registered Nurse and Integrative Health Coach, Andi Samperi!
Andi focuses on simplifying all the noise within the wellness industry and building sustainable habits to get to a better version of you.
On this episode, we chat about:
The impact stress can have on your physical health
How to know if you're experiencing burnout
Healing through burnout and how to avoid it
How to create a new routine and create healthy daily habits
Feeling grounded in your body so you can show up with balance
And how to take back your gut health, sleep, and overall wellness
Andi Samperi is a board-certified registered nurse and integrative health coach. Early on in her career, Andi realized that while traditional medicine has a time and place, we aren’t being taught how to thrive day to day. After completing nursing school, Andi began working at an Integrative Health clinic and consistently witnessed the transformative power of addressing fundamental health principles and personalized needs to bridge the gap between patients' current state and their optimal well-being. Andi's dedicated to guiding women and men toward vibrant health by empowering them with the knowledge and habits to thrive daily.

Do you have this big "thing" you've been wanting to do for so long — starting a business, launching a podcast, moving across the country, getting on the dating apps...
Whatever it is, it's something you've never done before. And because of that, it's terrifying. You don't want to do it until it's perfect. You're experiencing imposter syndrome. You avoid taking any action because it's too overwhelming.
I used to be fearless in my 20s. Now in my 30s, I find myself overthinking everything. If you feel the same way, this episode is for you!
We talk through the emotions we're feeling, ask ourselves important questions to break through that fear, and discuss practical steps to take bold action and do the damn thing.
I also take you through a visualization that always comes up for me when I'm contemplating leaning into something I've never done before. You won't want to miss this episode!

Do you find it difficult to meet friends as an adult? Have you been craving community — but you don't know where to find it or are letting fear hold you back from getting in the room?
If so, you're not alone. I've felt the same way! On today's episode, Kristine Munro (founder of ILLUME Collective) and I talk through the importance of adult friendships, how to find friends with the right energy, and where to find a community of women just like you.
It's time to step outside of your comfort zone, Google search for a local women's community, and take some bold action — I'm here with you the entire way.

Feeling unfulfilled and unsure of what's next for you in your career? Curious about starting that business you've been dreaming about for a while now?
I've been there, too. In today's BONUS episode, I share my journey of how I workshopped why I was feeling unhappy, unaligned, and confused about what I really wanted to do with my life.
I share the exact questions and prompts that helped me understand these emotions, challenges, and endless thoughts. It's time to get out of your head, set your big goals, and feel HAPPY in your career.
