Welcome to the Lead with Spark Podcast — Authentic Leadership for Women Who Want More. What does it truly mean to lead — not just in the boardroom or a team meeting, but in your actual life?
I’m Lynsey Mulder, leadership coach, speaker, and former Fortune 100 Senior Vice President turned full-time champion for purpose-driven women. On the Lead with Spark podcast, we explore what it really means to lead with authenticity, confidence, and alignment — at work and at home.
Decades ago, I earned my first coaching certification, long before leadership coaching became mainstream. Since then, I’ve climbed the corporate ladder, managed teams through chaos, and checked every “success” box — until burnout forced me to ask: Is this it?
Spoiler alert: It wasn’t. Today, I coach high-performing women and executives who are ready to lead from the inside out — with clarity, energy, and purpose.
This podcast is for ambitious women leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs ready to level up their leadership, reclaim their spark, and ditch burnout hustle. We talk executive presence, leadership communication, values-driven decision-making, setting boundaries, and how to balance it all without losing yourself.
Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or just trying to lead your life more intentionally, you’ll find real conversations, actionable strategies, and empowering insight here. Because leadership isn’t just about what you do — it’s about who you are.
