Why do we think that the thing we want the most we don't deserve? It's for other people, but not me. Is it possible that the thing we want to be, do, say, feel, experience the most is actually ours to claim? I say yes! Let's discuss...and maybe read a poem, too.  (;  ✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private podcast inspiration.  💫 Work with Lea...

This episode is coming in hot! What I mean is *hot topic*. As in a little tough, but necessary and WORTH IT.  I'm talking about codependency.  It's a hard one to look in the mirror. I mean, don’t we just mean well? After all, if we can do it shouldn’t we do it?  Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Kady Fleckenstein, joins me today to deep dive into what is codependency, how it’s conf...

Sometimes we just feel crappy, for days. It feels impossible to crack the spell, or pull ourselves out of the emotional tail-spin. In an effort to do so this week, I went back to some poems I wrote and found one called The Resistance that summed up exactly what I was going through.  Today, I'm talking about that process and then reading the poem in a spoken word type of healing.  Hop in, let&...

If kiddos are around grab your headphones! What happens when the least spiritual person on the planet gets hired to make a movie about spirituality? You’re about to find out. Today my guest is Betsy Chasse, best known as the Writer, Director and Producer of the award-winning film What The Bleep Do We Know?!   What the Bleep was the most successful spiritual movie ever, that created a whole new lan...

Money makes the world go 'round. It's important, and also really emotionally charged for a lot of us, including me.  In January, I thought I would try to change my relationship with it. Take it from a co-dependent roller coaster to a healthier sense of partnership with how I earn and spend. What's started to happen is kind of cool, so I'm hopping on today to talk about the shif...

Welcome to February's Cupid Series! I have an extra special guest joining me today - my oldest kid Sophia Elliott.  Sophia turned 15 this week and has proven to be my greatest teacher since the moment she was born.  Since she started high school some really important topics have become her passion and purpose in bringing the world together as a diverse and inclusive place. I have learned a lo...

There are many effective modalities to heal and find health. In an effort to find a way to feel better, I kind of stumbled on one called EFT, more commonly known as tapping. A lot of things have changed my wellbeing for the better, but none more so than tapping. Natural, effective and totally free, it's a real game changer for anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and chronic physical ailments. This...

Welcome to February's Cupid Series! Oh how nice it would be to retreat to a quiet and secluded place to do our hardest and most important work of emotional and mental healing. But the reality is that most of us have to go on about our lives, engaging and being triggered by the real world and the relationships we have at home, at work and as we move about the world.  There is a lot of mainstre...

I'm no expert, but in the months since I started meditating, a lot has changed about how I feel and operate in real life. I found that sitting still can be hard work, so I created some hacks to get me to a place of stillness where my mind can open and listen without huge effort. It's turned out to be a pretty special practice and I wanted to share with you how I got there.  Let's di...

We mostly think of culture shock as something that happens when we arrive to a new destination, but I actually suffer from a reverse culture shock when I get back home.  Weird, I know, but it's true. And after two weeks in India it was a special case this time around. It got me thinking, could the benefits of this reverse culture shock be recreated without the travel?  Let's discuss......

Welcome to February's Cupid Series! Today, I’m joined by photographer, intuitive healer and alchemist Willa Kveta, who through her photography captures the healing and empowerment that emerges when women tap into their inner wisdom and knowing. We discuss how women’s sensuality is a tool for our own use for both pleasure and creativity, and plays a role so much bigger than just sexual intimac...

Stress isn't all bad. Some versions are actually necessary motivators, but some are the kind that bring us down, down, down. On this minisode I contemplate my shift from sad stress to productive stress and what a difference it makes from day to day.  ✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private podcast inspiration.  💫 Work with Leanne   – Intuitive sessions,...

If kiddos are around grab your headphones! Manifestation is a word that gets tossed around a lot these days. We all wish we could name our desires and have them magically appear from the heavens, but is that how manifestation works?  I'm joined by the founder of Purpose Party for One, Sarah Warman, to help  me define manifesting as a practice, and how to actually get results. Here's a hi...

Do you ever try something new and just feel like a total faker? A wannabe? An outsider that somehow slipped in through the side door and managed to make it all the way to the stage without anyone noticing? Here's the crazy thing, everyone starts there. Everyone, at some point, is new at what they do. The difference between them and the rest of us is that they didn't let it get the best o...

Now that we’re coming out of the pandemic years where travel was forbidden or heavily restricted, 2023 is ready to welcome a traveling world once again.   On today’s episode I’m joined by Danielle Thurston of TR Luxury Travel to talk about how the world of travel looks different, our version of luxury, and how we're planning more meaningful travel in this new year. Follow Danielle's adve...

Do you ever have a Monday, on days that aren't even Monday? Me too! On today's minisode, I explore how I handle those days when low-grade sadness and a sense of despair about the world around me presses on my mind and heart. I really want to go back to bed and sometimes that's exactly what's best, but sometimes you have to just get moving to shake it off.  No small task.  Let&a...

We unknowingly carry forward the wounds and patterns of our ancestors, often without even knowing it. What if those wounds stopped with you? On this episode I reflect on breaking the bond of our wounded lineage and how we can choose better for the generations coming up behind us.  ✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private podcast inspiration.  💫 Work with Lean...

We are aware of our physical body pretty much all of the time. But what about our Spiritual body…the aura and energy that surrounds us and is the source that makes us tick? On today’s episode I’m joined by Malia Mauer a student and practitioner of sound and energy, also called reiki.  For 20 years, Malia has studied the function of vibration and tone and has become acutely perceptive of how these...

The end of a year brings so much to contemplate and consider, both in looking back and in imagining the future.  On this minisode I share some revelations that came during the harvest full moon and how the secret to the other side of anything you desire is not about hustle and grit, but through the Art of Surrender.  ✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private po...

If kiddos are around, grab your earbuds! Do you sometimes come up for air and wonder what the heck happened to the person you used to be, and maybe even liked?

On this very special day, I contemplate the beauty of less being more.  Minimalism is in many ways the process of creating space and quiet to connect better with the ones we love the most. In that open space, we can better experience the fullness of connection.  I hope this day is full of fun, connection and enduring memories. XOXO   ✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscripti...

Learning to breathe sounds like a funny concept….don’t we do that without thinking?  Yes, and, no.

Jenn uses integrated breathing to help clients walk through grief and heal trauma, addiction and limiting...
