I’m Leslie, a writer, media editor, and producer embracing a lifetime quest to become “real”. What’s “real”? The idea that we become more like ourselves as we develop wrinkles from laughing and crying, as our bodies weather the joys and griefs of our days, and as our characters strengthen through the richness of the human experience. That all sounds super serious…I just like to keep it real.
The For Real Podcast is the place where I can put random audio projects of mine that don’t fit elsewhere.
