She sits down with Dave Inglis, speaker, author, and advocate for what he calls strategic solitude, the intentional practice of creating space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect with what matters most.


Drawing on his own experiences as a business leader, husband, father, and coach, Dave shares how solitude became a transformative practice after a difficult personal chapter and how it has evolved into a regular rhythm that supports both personal growth and leadership. Rather than filling every quiet moment with distractions, Dave makes the case for creating intentional pauses that allow clarity and insight to emerge.


Together, Gina and Dave discuss:

00:01:25 — Boredom Is a Signal
 Dave explains why boredom often points to something missing beneath the surface rather than simply a lack of activity.

00:03:10 — The Difference Between Distraction and Reconnection
 A discussion about how we often soothe boredom with digital distractions instead of creating space to reconnect with ourselves.


00:04:40 — What Is Strategic Solitude?
 Dave shares how strategic solitude became a personal practice and why intentional time alone creates clarity and alignment.

00:07:50 — Learning From Regret
 Exploring how solitude helps us process regret, strengthen our identity, and continue growing through life's challenges.

00:14:45 — Planning the Next 12 Weeks
 Dave explains how he uses solitude to create a focused roadmap for the next three months instead of reacting to circumstances.

00:17:30 — The Conversations That Matter Most
 Why the insights that emerge in solitude often reveal important conversations we've been avoiding.

00:22:15 — Everyday Practices for Solitude and Recovery
 Practical tools, including HeartMath and daily recovery moments, that help build nervous system resilience and self-awareness.

00:29:00 — Creating Space for What Matters
 Dave describes how protecting time in his weekly schedule helps him transition well, care for life's responsibilities, and stay connected to what matters most.

He shares how regular periods of solitude help him return to his family, work, and relationships with greater alignment and purpose. His perspective offers a reminder that growth does not always come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from creating enough space to hear what has been waiting beneath the noise all along.

A thoughtful conversation about reflection, resilience, leadership, and the courage to spend time with yourself.


⭐ About: Dave Inglis

Over the last 10 years, Dave has been helping ambitious leaders do the inner work to build great businesses, teams, and families. He started his career as a driven entrepreneur and crashed into a personal crisis when his business just about swallowed his personal life whole. When his partner left him, he realized something massive had to change. That was the beginning of his adventure into meaningful leadership.

Now, Dave’s clients say he’s part advisor, part sage, and that’s what makes his coaching so impactful. He loves turning knowledge into lived experiences and wisdom that leaders can put into action, because skills and systems are nothing without a deeper connection to who we are and what we care about.

He has built and grown businesses. He taught entrepreneurship and innovation at universities and colleges across Canada, has been a trusted advisor and coach to organizations such as the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Globe & Mail, along with some of Canada's fastest-growing startups, and he has been trained as a professional couples coach. Regardless of the context or situation, Dave has a knack for leveraging his eclectic experience to help others adapt and thrive through their most critical moments.


Many people have a direction they think they want to go, yet somewhere along the way, got off course by just a bit…and end up becoming someone nearly unrecognizable to themselves. This is why creating space to be alone and begin again is at the crux of Dave’s work in Strategic Solitude experiences, where leaders re-orient to their authentic selves. 

Dave says, “It’s my honor to support leaders with families and purposeful priorities as they take an intentional and strategic approach to the intersection of life and business through their own triple bottom line – their health, wealth, and relationships.”

⭐ About the Host: Gina Hudel


I’m Gina Hudel, a transformation leader who has worked with teams in more than 40 countries. Over the years, my career has taken me across sectors and communities, supporting people and organizations as they navigate change, make thoughtful decisions, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

I’m also deeply committed to volunteer leadership and community work, which keep me grounded in what matters most: people, connection, and contribution. Whether the setting is global or local, my focus is the same — creating space for people to find their footing, focus on what matters, and make steady, sustainable progress.

Ready for Beyond brings that perspective to the mic. These conversations are grounded and human, shaped by a reminder I hold close: the future matters, but so does today. Each episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and take the next step with confidence and intention, while staying present to the day you’re in.

Her story is a thoughtful reminder that we're often being prepared for what's next long before we realize it.


This episode is a grounded conversation about paying attention, embracing change with intention, and finding the courage to follow where life's clues lead.

⭐ About Richelle Flint

⭐ About the Host: Gina Hudel


I’m Gina Hudel, a transformation leader who has worked with teams in more than 40 countries. Over the years, my career has taken me across sectors and communities, supporting people and organizations as they navigate change, make thoughtful decisions, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

I’m also deeply committed to volunteer leadership and community work, which keep me grounded in what matters most: people, connection, and contribution.

She sits down with Jodi Armit, Founder & CEO of Alokai, to explore how identity evolves across life chapters, and how both technology and lived experiences can help shape who we become next.

Jodi shares her path from a long corporate HR career into AI entrepreneurship, and the profound personal transformation she experienced walking 120 km of the Camino Trail with her cousin — a historic pilgrimage route in Spain known for reflection and renewal. The journey brought connection, perspective, and an emotional moment at the Compostela that reminded her of what truly matters.

Together, Gina and Jodi discuss:
• how identity shifts as our roles and seasons of life change
• why transitions often require acknowledging — and grieving — what we leave behind
• how AI can support clarity, confidence, and reinvention
• slowing down and choosing where to spend your energy
• the people and moments that help reconnect us to ourselves

A grounded, human conversation about purpose, relationships, and the next version of you.

⭐ About Jodi Armit

Jodi Armit is a passionate advocate for redefining how organizations understand and support their people. With more than three decades leading organizational design, M&A integrations, and workforce transformation across industries and continents, she has seen one consistent truth: leaders cannot build high-performing teams without real visibility. Traditional HR systems reveal the “what,” but rarely the deeper “why” behind performance, engagement, or organizational health.

Driven to change that, Jodi founded Alokai, a people-intelligence platform designed to give organizations a unified and holistic view of their workforce. Alokai helps companies move beyond labels and legacy processes, enabling personalized employee experiences and more confident, informed talent decisions using data they’ve never had access to before. Her mission is clear: equip HR and business leaders with the clarity to build organizations where people thrive — and workplaces consistently exceed their goals.

She sits down with Wanda Deschamps, Founder of Liberty Co., whose work focuses on advancing neuro-inclusive workplaces through IDEA: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility.

After receiving an autism diagnosis at age 46 following a significant mental health crisis, Wanda began a journey of self-awareness that transformed how she understood herself and the world around her. That experience led her to a powerful realization: personal growth alone is not enough if workplaces, hiring practices, and social systems remain unchanged.

 Wanda explains the difference between neurodiversity, neurodivergence, and neurotypicality, and why the distinction matters.


00:05:27 — Rethinking How We Identify Talent
 Traditional hiring practices can unintentionally exclude neurodivergent candidates before they ever apply.


00:08:42 — Creating Truly Accessible Workplaces
 Accessibility starts long before accommodation requests and should be built into every stage of the employee experience.


00:09:12 — Choose Curiosity Over Judgment
 Assumptions about communication styles can create barriers that curiosity can help remove.


00:12:43 — The Missing Piece in DEI
 Wanda explains why accessibility must be included alongside diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.


00:15:06 — Making Inclusion a Shared Responsibility
 Stronger workplaces emerge when everyone takes responsibility for successful communication and collaboration.

Wanda shares how her own diagnosis reshaped her perspective and inspired her mission to help organizations recognize and support neurodivergent talent. Her experience serves as a reminder that meaningful inclusion is not about asking people to fit existing systems — it is about designing systems that recognize and value different ways of thinking.


A thoughtful and practical conversation about belonging, accessibility, leadership, and creating workplaces where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.


⭐ Wanda Deschamps

Wanda K. Deschamps is the founder and principal of Liberty Co, a consultancy focused on increasing neurodiverse employment through the IDEA framework: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility. Drawing on her own autism diagnosis at midlife, she brings both lived experience and professional insight to her work, helping organizations rethink how they attract, support, and retain neurodivergent talent.

With more than 25 years in the philanthropic sector, Wanda has worked with leading Canadian institutions and now partners with public, private, and non-profit organizations across the country. Her work focuses on building inclusive strategies that move beyond awareness to action, using neuroinclusion to strengthen workplace culture, leadership, and innovation.

A champion for inclusion, Wanda speaks and writes under the banner of the Inclusion Revolution, a global movement launched to expand how we think about disability, particularly in the context of employment. Her work also includes advising and contributing to research on the experiences of autistic individuals in the workplace and beyond.

In recognition of her impact, she is the recipient of the 2024 Phillip Emmerson Award for Employment Excellence from the Canadian Association for Supported Employment and the 2023 Life Sciences Ontario Volunteer Award. Her work is grounded in a simple belief: until inclusion is real for everyone, the work is not done.

⭐ About the Host: Gina Hudel


I’m Gina Hudel, a transformation leader who has worked with teams in more than 40 countries. Over the years, my career has taken me across sectors and communities, supporting people and organizations as they navigate change, make thoughtful decisions, and move forward with clarity and purpose.


I’m also deeply committed to volunteer leadership and community work, which keep me grounded in what matters most: people, connection, and contribution. Whether the setting is global or local, my focus is the same — creating space for people to find their footing, focus on what matters, and make steady, sustainable progress.


Ready for Beyond brings that perspective to the mic. These conversations are grounded and human, shaped by a reminder I hold close: the future matters, but so does today. Each episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and take the next step with confidence and intention, while staying present to the day you’re in.

⭐ What Is Ready for Beyond?

What you do today shapes what comes next — and navigating change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

Ready for Beyond is a podcast about growth, purpose, and finding your way in a world that’s shifting fast. Through candid conversations and practical tools, host Gina Hudel helps listeners move forward with clarity and courage, while still making space to enjoy the day they’re in.


From personal pivots to leadership transitions, career shifts to community impact, the show explores how people make meaningful progress while staying grounded in what matters now. Whether you’re leading a team, rethinking success, or opening the door to something new, this is a space to learn, reflect, and feel supported along the way.

Let’s go beyond.

]]> In this episode of Ready for Beyond, Gina Hudel explores what happens when someone realizes the challenge isn’t fitting into the system — it’s redesigning the system itself. She sits down with Wanda Deschamps, Founder of Liberty Co., whose work focuses on advancing neuro-inclusive workplaces through IDEA: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility.

After receiving an autism diagnosis at age 46 following a significant mental health crisis, Wanda began a journey of self-awareness that transformed how she understood herself and the world around her. That experience led her to a powerful realization: personal growth alone is not enough if workplaces, hiring practices, and social systems remain unchanged.
