Most women leadership coaches aren’t failing—they’re scattered. Chasing every opportunity. Drowning in tactics. Burning out long before they ever reach the level they’re capable of. In this episode of Total Disruption, Dr. Jake Clendenning interviews Carol Williams, founder of the Beacon of Light Center, whose journey proves that thinking expansively while staying grounded is the real formula for sustainable growth. After being laid off in 2009 with zero business knowledge, Carol “fell down and almost drowned several times” before building a thriving retreat business that’s now expanding internationally—with Costa Rica retreat domes opening in late 2025. This is not a hustle story. It’s a grounded evolution story.
