This podcast is for the quietly brave, who are looking to be more themselves, live life on their own terms and enjoy a full-bodied life. Expect solo episodes with creative life coach Leah, and some ‘Soulful Storytelling’ with special guests sprinkled in between.

I never would have described myself as a 'perfectionist' (and I'm not sure it's helpful to label ourselves with such things anyway), but a few situations have cropped up lately where I have noticed myself trying to get EVERYTHING right! Not wanting to upset anyone. Wanting to do the right thing. Afraid of making a mistake. Worrying about how I coul…

Sometimes life is a really sparkly, uplifting, euphoric dancefloor, where I get lost in the rhythm of life and feel completely in my groove. AND Sometimes it's one of those sticky, grotty ones, where my feet stick to the floor kinda dancefloors (we've all been there right..), where the tunes are just not my vibe and I'm waiting for the track to cha…

Many people I work with experience a lot of anxiety (no surprise I'm sure). It's the main topic of conversation, and I understand why. Anxiety is uncomfortable and loud. It's a real show stopper, and with good reason - it's our bodies way of alerting us to risk, threat or danger. It's the alarm telling us that something is wrong. And we are obsesse…

It can be tempting to be lured into thinking that we need to 'upgrade' ourselves in some way. Become a 'better version' of ourselves. But in my experience this leads us away from self-acceptance, which for me is the way to true peace and happiness. Focusing on becoming our 'best' selves is located in the future. It tells us that who we are now is n…

Life doesn't just happen in the things we do, it happens in how we feel when we are doing the things. It happens in how we feel when we are not doing anything. We can do lovely things, but if we are not able to enjoy them then what's the point. Life happens on the inside. We live inside our own experience, so let's make that a cosy place to be.In t…

So many of us are desperate to get back in touch with our creative, playful, carefree side. The thing is, there are reasons why this is so hard to reach. We can't be 'carefree' when there is a lot to 'care' about. AND - for many of us we have never truly experienced what it feels like to be 'carefree'. In this episode I share some ways we can recla…

Are you living in the past? What's your reaction to that question? What comes up in you? What do you feel in your body? Most of us (unconsciously) are living in the past.

There is a gap between what you 'know' and how you 'feel'. So you feel bad about it. You tell yourself 'I should be more grateful, my life is good.' 'I should have more patience with my kids'. 'There must be something wrong with me'. You can’t change how you ‘feel’ by simply reading books and listening to podcasts (not even this one). You might und…
