  • bless this podcast 👏🏻

    Turn to “authentic” in the dictionary, and it’s a picture of Leya.

    This show captures Leya’s perfectly imperfect humanity, her genuine and magnetic lens, and has gifted me such grace in my human experience.

    I love learning from Leya’s embodied perspectives, her joy, and her crunch.

    Although i love the guests Leya features (bless the abundant well of hand selected wisdom), her solo episodes live as my favorite fire side chats.

    Couldn’t recommend a listen more - getcha ears over here 👂💛
