No More Mondays
Angie Callen
No More Mondays is a leadership and human performance podcast for professionals, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders who want to live and work with intention — not simply follow expectations someone else defined for them.
Hosted by former engineer and executive coach Angie Callen, the show explores what it really means to build a purposeful career, business, and life aligned with your strengths, values, and individual goals.
Because the truth is simple:
Humans still matter.
Mediocrity is expensive.
Ownership changes everything.
Every episode is designed to equip and empower you to navigate the decisions, leadership moments, and mindset shifts that shape your career, business, and life.
The goal isn't just success.
It's learning how to design work that complements your life instead of competing with it.
If you've ever wrestled with the tension between alignment and achievement, fulfillment and performance, or purpose and practicality — this podcast is for you.
Who This Podcast Is For
No More Mondays is for high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders who want to take greater ownership of their work, leadership, and decisions.
Listeners often find themselves asking questions like:
How do I grow my career without burning out?
What does intentional leadership actually look like today?
How do I align my work with my strengths and values?
What does success look like beyond titles, promotions, or traditional career paths?
How do I lead well while navigating uncertainty and change?
How do I design a career that supports my life instead of consuming it?
How do I stay fully human while working in an increasingly AI-enabled world?
If you believe work should support a meaningful life — not compete with it — you'll feel right at home here.
What You'll Learn
Through conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, authors, and thinkers — along with Angie's solo reflections and Midweek Momentum episodes — the show explores topics like:
Leadership development and modern leadership
Career growth and intentional career design
Entrepreneurship and building meaningful businesses
Human performance and better decision-making
Work-life integration and sustainable success
Navigating career transitions and reinvention
Purpose-driven leadership and authentic influence
Creativity, curiosity, and personal ownership
Thriving in the future of work while staying fully human
You'll also hear conversations about how humans lead, think, and perform in the age of AI — and how technology can amplify our capabilities without replacing the human qualities that matter most.
This isn't a podcast about hustle culture or empty motivation.
It's a space for thoughtful conversations that raise the bar on how we approach leadership, work, and the choices that shape our lives.
Why This Conversation Matters
Work is changing.
Technology, entrepreneurship, AI, and evolving career paths are redefining what success looks like.
But one thing hasn't changed:
The quality of our thinking, leadership, and decisions still determines the quality of our lives.
And the more intentional we are about how we show up — the more agency we have over the careers, businesses, and lives we build.
This podcast exists to help you think more clearly, lead more intentionally, and build a career and life you actually want to live.

Life Beyond Should
You're about to meet Vicki Moore. Vicki has taken risks and made big changes in her life – she's re-created and rebranded herself multiple times. After getting her MBA, Vicki spent eight years in the corporate world where she managed large-scale training and marketing projects, at which point she took a leap of faith and started her own business.

In 2014, Vicki handed over the keys to her successful business, loaded up three suitcases and moved to Europe. And now, in what I'm going to call Vicki #4, she's building a new business focused on helping people do what she found the courage to do herself, make a bold move.
