“Creating experiences
that bring people to life”
Hey there, this website is currently a work in progress (or a glorious mess as I like to call it. So please keep checking back for more new stuff on the pages….)
Hi, I'm Leah and I have a confession - I prefer dogs to people. I mean I like people, but my best friend is a chocolate Labrador and he is the most beautiful creature inside and out.
When I'm not hanging out with the hound, you will find me early morning raving at my Soulful Sunrise events, hugging trees in the woods on my Fresh Air Friday’s sessions, or chatting on my podcast about the big stuff in life (in a light hearted way).
I create experiences that bring people to life. I know what it’s like to feel dead inside. In 2014 my brother and sister died. After many years of battling with themselves and addiction to alcohol they died of deep unhappiness and a little bit of me died with them too. I know this is pretty heavy shit, but I promise it gets better……..
After this, I had to learn to accept my life and allow myself to live it and be truly happy. You see, I believe that to really feel alive, we have to accept and embrace all of our experiences, all of our emotions, the good, the bad and the super ugly. Life is full of light and shade – that’s what makes us human, and experiencing the darkness has taught me to fall in love with the light even more. The things I have learned over the years have helped me heal – like celebrating the good stuff, learning to be kinder to myself and treat myself like one of my best mates, doing things that bring me joy instead of being ‘busy’ all the time. I’ve also gained a shit load of perspective and learned to effort less, not try so hard and stop being ‘busy’ all the time, which is pretty radical these days. I’ve learned that joy is the antidote to stress, anxiety and loneliness and so I try to bring as much of that into my work and life.
I want this for you. I want you to celebrate yourself and your life. I want you to be your own best friend. I want you to give yourself permission to play, have fun, enjoy life and not feel guilty about it. I want you to effort less and be more. I want you to simplify things. I want you to know that your pain can live alongside your joy. I want you to consciously make choices, disrupt your routines and live life on your own terms. I want you to feel alive!
So on this website you will find a collection of experiences that I have created over the years that help people feel more themselves. I run online group experiences, live events and share all my wisdom on my podcast and blog too. Oh and my newsletters (or Leah’s letters as I call them) are pretty brilliant - so you can sign up for those here.
Thanks for stopping by. Take a look around and enjoy the view…..
