In this community edition of The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Lumia Signature student and 25-year defense industry leader Carly, who is building a coaching practice to help mid-career women find their voice in heavily male-dominated fields.
Carly's story is powerful... she spent decades navigating rooms with no windows, no cell phones, and cultures where keeping quiet was the norm. At Lumia's annual retreat, something clicked, and she found the words to describe exactly who she wants to help and why.
This conversation gets real about what it's like to be a woman in spaces where you're not always heard, how tiny experiments can build lasting confidence, and why coach training changed the way Carly shows up as a leader, mentor, and human.
If you've ever felt like your voice doesn't belong in the room, or you're wondering how your own career experience could become a powerful coaching niche, this one's for you.
Carly is a Lumia Certified Life Coach and a 25+ year leader in the defense industry, with a mission to help mid-career women break through to the Director level. She is a Red Sox season ticket holder, avid traveler, and proud dog mom to Tessie, a 4 year old Cavalier King Charles. Connect with Carly on Instagram: @declassifiedcoaching
