01 Jan 2026
00:34:38
I’m breaking down the exact moment my body forced me to slow down, rethink everything, and stop normalizing a lifestyle that looked successful on paper but was silently burning me out.
From panic attacks and nonstop travel to redefining what elite health actually requires, this episode lays out the non-negotiables for top-tier energy, resilience, and performance.
In this episode, I share:

The Chapter That Changed My Life Forever: The beginning of becoming HER.
01 Jan 2026
00:32:52
Welcome to my Becoming HER story.
I’m pulling back the curtain on who I used to be, what nearly broke me, and how I rebuilt my life from the inside out.
From burnout, anxiety, and alcohol-fueled overachievement to healing my body, protecting my energy, and reconnecting to my purpose, this episode sets the tone for everything to come.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, disconnected, or like you’re meant for more, you’re in the right place!
In this episode, I share:
What “Becoming Her” actually means, spoiler: it’s not about perfection
The invisible ways alcohol, burnout, and overstimulation quietly sabotage your potential
The REAL productivity hack for 2026
The turning moment I realised I wasn’t broken and just needed support
How functional nutrition and lifestyle alignment changed my mental health FOREVER
The difference between surviving and performing at an elite level
Are you draining your life force? How your purpose creates energy
The ONE mindset shift that stopped me from burning out
How healing your body can completely change how you show up in your work, relationships, and life
Love as Medicine: How Partnership Can Make (or Break) Your Healing Journey
07 Jan 2026
00:56:33
This episode pulls back the curtain on what “growing together” in love actually looks like; the breaking points, the healing, the money decisions, the sober intimacy shift, and the emotional backbone that kept our relationship steady when life tried to knock us out.
In this conversation, we get into:
The unexpected moment that made him see our relationship completely differently
How “becoming your best self” actually shows up inside a real partnership (not just on Instagram)
The year that brought me to my knees — and the one thing that kept our relationship from breaking with me
What no one tells you about “growing together” vs. “growing apart” (and the subtle signs you’re headed either way)
The bold money move we made before getting married — and why it changed the way we operate as a team
The way we handle tension and hard conversations that keeps things from blowing up OR boiling over
How our intimacy had to completely evolve when one major “crutch” disappeared from our lives
What actually feels supportive when your partner is healing — and what quietly makes things worse
The inner work that makes it possible to stay grounded, unbothered, and emotionally steady in love
The underrated ingredient in long-term love that nobody puts in their wedding vows (but should)
In this episode, I sit down with Australian physiotherapist, founder of Athletic Rebuild, and dear friend of mine Tayla Cannon, for an honest conversation about why women are exhausted, inflamed, in pain… and still being told their labs are “normal.”
We’re breaking down the biggest lie in modern healthcare: Treating symptoms instead of addressing root causes.
In this episode, we chat:
Why chronic pain isn’t always about the injured body part
The massive connection between gut health, inflammation & joint pain
Why “normal labs” don’t mean optimal health
The stress hormone piece most doctors aren’t testing (and why it matters for weight gain)
How blood sugar instability affects every woman, not just diabetics
Why calories in/calories out is an outdated metabolism model
The nervous system’s role in fat storage, hormone imbalance & chronic fatigue
How brain wiring reinforces pain patterns (even when tissue has healed)
The dangerous identity trap of calling yourself an “IBS girly” or “PCOS girly”
The difference between symptom management and real transformation
This bonus mini episode is something I normally only share inside my coaching circle.
It’s a raw, unfiltered voice note I recorded for my clients during the thick of winter—when motivation dips, energy is inconsistent, and life feels heavier than usual. Instead of pushing harder or pretending everything is fine, this is about learning how to meet yourself where you are and still stay supported.
Inside this behind-the-scenes coaching riff, I walk you through the two modes we all move between:
Survival Mode — when your only job is protecting your mental health and holding the foundations Level-Up Mode — when you have the capacity to push, refine, and elevate your routines
Both are valid. Both are part of the strategy.
In this episode, I share exactly how I coach my clients (and myself) through these seasons—what stays non-negotiable when energy is low, how to identify your baseline, when to outsource support, and how to move back into a higher-capacity season without burning yourself out or starting over.
This isn’t about perfection or consistency for the sake of consistency.
It’s about sustainability, self-trust, and recognizing that there are levels to this sh*t.
If winter has you feeling behind, depleted, or questioning your discipline—this conversation is for you.
Consider this your backstage pass.

If you've ever thought, “Once I make more money, I'll finally relax,”… this episode is going to rock your world.
In this week's episode of Becoming HER, I sit down with money coach Gina Knox to talk about all things money, honey!
Tune in for an honest conversation about how financial scarcity keeps women inflamed, and why no amount of discipline, hustle, or “positive mindset” can override a nervous system that doesn't feel safe due to financial insecurity.
This is the episode for the woman who is high-performing, capable, and “doing well”… but still feels like she's bracing for impact all the time.

What most people misunderstand about passive income and long-term wealth

The surprising overlap between money, health, discipline, and burnout
What actually changes when women feel financially safe in their bodies
What you’re about to listen to is a compilation of three real, live client interviews I’ve hosted recently.
Three women. Three very different bodies, histories, and lifestyles. And one shared breakthrough: we stopped band-aiding symptoms and actually fixed what was causing them.
You’ll hear from Saskia, Karely, and Natalie, all graduates of my program She’s a Force, as they break down exactly what changed when we stopped guessing and fixed the root cause, identified what their bodies needed and stopped white-knuckling their healing journey.

How healing your body changes your leadership, relationships, and self-trust
If you’ve ever thought “I’ve done the mindset work… so why do I still feel exhausted, stuck, and overwhelmed?” This episode might flip everything you thought you knew about personal development on its head.
In this raw, honest conversation, Leslie sits down with Jamie Ruiz, manifestation coach and former professional dancer, to unpack the truth most personal development spaces skip: you cannot out-manifest a depleted body.
This is the episode for the woman who’s ambitious, self-aware, and doing “all the right things”… but still feels like life is harder than it should be.
We chat:
Why feeling lazy, unmotivated, or stuck is often biological, not a mindset failure
The overlooked connection between hormones, energy, capacity, and manifestation

Why manifestation without embodiment keeps you stuck in the same cycles
What it actually feels like to wake up energized, clear, and excited about life again
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting over with fitness, burning out, and wondering why “doing everything right” still isn’t working, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
Leslie sits down with Adriana Blanc, creator of the Capable Method, to unpack why so many women feel exhausted, inflamed, and disconnected from their bodies, and how healing your relationship with movement, self-trust, and consistency can change everything.

In this episode, I sit down with mindset expert Jess Martin to discuss the hidden beliefs that shape your success, money, and visibility.

Hidden Health Secrets of Top-Performing Entrepreneurs
22 Apr 2026

Your health isn't separate from your business. It IS your business.
That's the truth most high-achieving women learn the hard way.
You can have the best strategy, the sharpest offer, and the most disciplined calendar… but if your body is running on fumes, your business is too. Your revenue, creativity, decision-making, magnetism.. all of it lives in your biology.
That's exactly what I unpacked when I sat down with Jess Martin on the Abundant + Aligned Podcast.
We went deep on the health secrets top-performing entrepreneurs swear by, and why most high-achieving women are leaving performance, income, and energy on the table because no one ever told them.
This interview first aired on Abundant + Aligned, and I just HAD to share it wider with you.
We get into:
The invisible ceiling keeping high-achieving women stuck — no matter how hard they grind
What your cortisol is doing behind the scenes and what it's quietly costing you
The body-income connection no one in the business world is talking about
Why healing, biology, and high performance are the same conversation
So if you've been feeling depleted, plateaued, or like you're working harder than your results reflect, this one's for you.
