Hi, I’m Leith and I love talking to women about their journeys of overcoming challenges, struggles and feelings of being stuck. Who am I? What do I REALLY want? Each week brings a new discovery about being human. Life is not a curated Instagram feed. For anyone.
It’s messy. It’s vulnerable. It’s inspiring.

In this conversation, Jodie shares her experience as a nurse and mother during the pandemic — the fear, the grief, and ultimately, the deep reflection that followed.
We explore the intensity of those early days: the fear in the paramedics' eyes and the heartbreak of watching young and healthy patients deteriorate. But beyond the chaos, Jodie found clarity. The crisis became a mirror — revealing cracks in the healthcare system, limiting beliefs around parenting and education, and the cost of always doing what’s expected.
From rethinking school for her children to choosing not to vaccinate them, Jodie opens up about how COVID led her to embrace intuition over fear and boundaries over conformity. She reflects on the the nuanced conversations around vaccines, and the journey of choosing a different path for her kids — and eventually for herself.

Sarah: From Rule Follower to Intuitive Leader
Sarah was a rule follower, doing everything “right” — corporate job, three kids, non-stop hustle — until COVID forced her to pause. A missed promotion and the loss of her brother sparked deep reflection, grief work, and a powerful shift: from pushing to flowing, from performing to asking What do I want? She shares how intuition, healing, and self-love led her to a more aligned life — and a bold new path forward.
Highlights from our conversation:
* Life pre-COVID: Managing chaos at work and home: three kids, leading a team of 70, and climbing the corporate ladder.
* Self-described rule follower, she followed all the rules early on in the pandemic until she could no longer make sense of it all
* The breaking point: A missed promotion sparked deep reflection and opened the door to coaching, self-discovery, and a mindset shift that changed everything.
* Learning to trust her intuition: Daily journaling, grief recovery work, and spiritual connection guided her to a more fulfilling, self-loving life.
Quote to carry with you:“I was climbing the corporate ladder because it was what I was supposed to do — not what I actually wanted to do.”

52. Laura: “From the Chaos Came the Most Beautiful Outcome I Could Ever Imagine”
In this conversation, Laura shares how both the pandemic and motherhood profoundly reshaped the course of her life. Her desire to better understand her highly sensitive daughter sparked a journey inward—one that led her to explore inner child work and the emotional complexities that make us human. Along the way, she experienced a spiritual awakening that expanded her perspective, deepened her empathy, and opened her heart to a new path in energy work.
Together, we explore the power of collective intention in times of crisis, the importance of embracing the full spectrum of emotions, and the search for meaning amid global uncertainty. This episode invites us to reflect, stay open, and trust that even in chaos, the universe is unfolding exactly as it should.
