Parenting, Partnership, and Presence w/ Leslie Zinn
“I was not half a person trying to become whole. I was now a whole person ready to become part of a couple.”Leslie Zinn shares her journey from growing up in a turbulent household to becoming a single mom and eventually finding a deeply supportive relationship. Her story is filled with warmth, humor, and unexpected turns, showing how healing and self-awareness can open the door to connection. Through parenting, entrepreneurship, and a little Latin dancing, Leslie discovered what it means to be present, soft, and truly ready for love.Key Takeaways* Healing through presence and love can transform our relationship.* Being reactive doesn’t mean you’re broken; learning to pause and recognize old patterns can shift everything.* Sometimes the most meaningful relationships come when you’re not looking, and a relationship can thrive when you’re no longer trying to protect yourself from being hurt.Find Leslie at Arden’s Garden (https://www.ardensgarden.com/) and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-zinn-729937b/). Lila has a new book!Lila has written a self-help guide that offers a radically different approach to dating and relationships.

Peace Over Perfection: Let Go of Control w/ Katie Steel
“You can show up with just a feeling. You don’t have to have a neat bow on it.”Not everyone reacts the same to really hitting it off with someone new. Sometimes things going really well with a new romantic connection can be overwhelming. Meet Katie, whose first steps into a new relationship brought more than just excitement - they stirred a wave of unexpected anxiety. In this episode, Katie shares how a profoundly deep connection with someone new unearthed old mental habits and emotional tension, even though, intuitively, this new person felt right. Through gentle self-awareness and a shift in perspective, she discovered how turning toward her own calm allowed her to show up fully, speak honestly, and experience the relationship as it unfolded - with a spacious, nurturing pace.Key Takeaways* Anxiety amid connection: Feeling overwhelmed in a new relationship doesn’t always signal something going wrong - it can reveal how past stories can color and “thought haunt” our present joy.* Letting go of perfection: Stepping away from expectations of the “ideal” person or the “right way” creates space for real connection and enjoyment, even when things feel uncertain.* Speaking from peace, not irritation: Communicating openly - even through discomfort - feels different when it comes from inner steadiness instead of reactive emotion, nurturing a culture of mutual understanding.Lila has a new book!Lila has written a self-help guide offering a radically different way to date.

When You’re Ready, Love Feels Different w/ Tracy Marlowe

Choosing Love Without Losing Yourself w/ Kate Morgan
“It’s not about finding someone to fix your loneliness. It’s about building a life you love and inviting someone into it.”Kate Morgan joins Lila to talk about why high-achieving women often get stuck in their love lives and how the same intentional approach that builds strong teams can help you build a meaningful relationship. She shares her honest insights on why many women shrink themselves to fit into relationships that don’t truly align with their values and desires. This conversation is an invitation to stop settling, get clear on what you want, and create the type of love that feels aligned with the life you’re building.What You'll Love About This Conversation:* Clarity is kindness: Get clear on what you want in a partner instead of staying in confusion that keeps you stuck and settling.* Don’t shrink to fit: Stop hiding your needs or desires just to keep someone around who isn’t aligned with you.* You can be whole and still let someone in: Kate wasn’t searching for someone to “complete” her as a single mom building her career, and it was from this grounded place that she allowed partnership to find her.About KateKate Morgan is the founder and CEO of Boston Human Capital Partners (https://www.bostonhcp.com/), where she helps startups build and retain top talent with straightforward, strategic hiring guidance.
