Podcast appearances and mentions of leesa renee hall

If you're looking for an adventure to start the new year, why not take an inner field trip? This week, host Paula Felps sits down with Leesa Renee Hall, a mental health wellness advocate and author of the Inner Field Trip workbook, which helps explore what drives us, what oppresses us, and helps us identify our personal biases. Armed with that information, Leesa says we can change the way we move through the world and transform our relationships — which seems like a great way to start the year. In this episode, you'll learn: What it means to go on an inner field trip. How going on this journey is helpful to your mental health. Why self-reflection is such a powerful tool for healing.

Leesa Renee Hall is an anti-bias facilitator and mental wellness advocate who has helped over 65,000 leaders with quiet, gentle, and highly sensitive personalities go on an inner field trip to explore their unconscious biases so they protect their energy and stable bravely in their quest to become better ancestors. Jo and Leesa talk about unconscious biases and why it is so crucial that everyone reflects on this. This episode explores ways that unconscious biases form that aren't typically part of the mainstream discussion. Unconscious biases influence the systemic biases that unfairly hold people back in society. So addressing the unconscious biases we all hold as individuals is the best path forward to creating an equitable and accountable society. Listen to learn practices that can help you recognize and challenge the biases you hold. Leesa and Jo have found that journaling can be a gentle and helpful practice during their own journeys, so they share some of the specific prompts they have been using.   Find Leesa Online

And welcome to “JK, It's Magic,” a bi-weekly podcast in which two bookish besties discuss (mostly) YA fantasy through the lens of intersectional feminist criticism. Why? Because critique is our fangirl love language. And because talking about books is pretty magical. I'm Jesse. kelly [00:00:29] And I'm Kelly. And in this episode, we are discussing A Dream So Dark by L.L. McKinney, the second book in the Nightmareverse series. And I didn't write a plot synopsis before recording. So fuck it, we'll do it live. [laughs] The novel picks up right after the battle that ended the first book. Alice is grounded and people are in trouble. And lots of villains come out of the woodwork and Alice has to go into Wonderland. But she also accidentally goes to Japan. And then there's large battles and that's what happens. [laughs] jessie [00:01:09] Chaos ensues. There's chaos. Lots and lots of chaos. transition [00:01:13] [bright, whimsical music plays] jessie [00:01:18] All right. Initial reactions, I think, as you all know at this point. I love L.L. McKinney. I follow her on Twitter and I just love everything about her. She's great. So you have to know that I love this book, too. It was fast paced and super fun. I loved getting some additional POVs this time around. So I stan, I guess. Like, yeah, I really enjoyed it. kelly [00:01:41] No choice but to stan. jessie [00:01:43] Yeah. [chuckles].

It's much easier to ignore the darker parts of ourselves—the wounds, the fears, the biases, the anxieties. Sloshing around in our inner territory is scary, but there is freedom in the truth. And the more we can talk about our shadows without getting defensive, the more we can accept our humanness and start to heal ourselves and the world around us. Only then we can go deep AND go home to ourselves.  Pixie Lighthorse is an artist, healer and author who uses words as medicine to “wander with people through the hard stuff.” Her most recent work, Goldmining the Shadows, primes us for an ongoing inner dialogue with damaging influences (both internal and external), so we can begin the process of liberation and restoration. On this episode, Pixie joins me to define what it means to do shadow work and explains why it's crucial to explore our own inner territory.  Pixie describes our quest for balance between thinking/doing and feeling/being, offering insight around how to access the most truthful parts of ourselves from a liminal space. She also shares the idea of rigorous honesty, discussing how we can recognize our shadows as they come up, examine our subconscious biases, and avoid the push/pull in our relationships. Listen in to understand the role of rest in accessing clarity and wisdom—and learn how to liberate yourself by accepting what IS.    Key Takeaways  Pixie's work in wandering with people through the hard stuff  How Pixie defines shadow work and why it's so crucial  Why Pixie's best writing ideas come from the liminal space  The quest for balance between thinking/doing + feeling/being  The idea of rigorous honesty and how it impacts relationships  How to examine our unconscious bias without defensiveness  Recognizing shadows when we use absolutes or complain  The danger in overidentifying with our specialization  How we harm ourselves/others out of loyalty to our wounds  Why we can't access clarity or wisdom when we're tired  How communication makes room for cooperative experiences   The shadow side of hope and how we use it as a mask  Pixie's insight around the freedom of accepting what IS    Connect with Pixie  Pixie's Website    Resources   Goldmining the Shadows by Pixie Lighthorse  Boundaries and Protection by Pixie Lighthorse  Prayers of Honoring by Pixie Lighthorse  Prayers of Honoring Voice by Pixie Lighthorse  Prayers of Honoring Grief by Pixie Lighthorse  Leesa Renee Hall  Healing Night: The Science and Spirit of Sleeping, Dreaming, and Awakening by Rubin Naiman PhD  Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation by Karen Brody  Daring to Rest Sleep Series  Yes to Rest Friday - Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra Naps for Women Facebook Group  SHARE

In this fascinating conversation Leesa Renee Hall and I discuss how white supremacy limits the ways that black people are perceived and the boxes we are “allowed” to fill. We also talk about social media, how to become less reactive and understanding how the algorithms keep us in our bubbles, and so much more. This was a conversation I was really looking forward to and it didn’t disappoint.

When Leesa was working in IT, she realized that her soul was dying. She decided to get in touch with her inner child and went on a journey of expressive writing, self inquiry and healing. Leesa picked up a creative pursuit and discovered that she wants to embrace whatever emotions come up for her.

On Episode 26 I'm talking to Nichole Beiner, an attorney, diversity consultant and community builder. She has a gorgeous presence online at Nichole Gabrielle (Instagram, Facebook) and at Melanin and Moxie (Web, Instagram, Facebook ) which is a space specifically for women of color.Nichole is navigating living with a chronic neurological disorder and we talk a lot about how having an “invisible” illness can be so challenging. I know many listeners will resonate with her story of strength and struggle. She talks honestly about how privilege, community, vulnerability, and connection impact her journey.I mention another woman I follow that has informed the way I see my own privilege, Rachel Cargle. Other women I love learning from in the online space are Vilissa Thompson, Leesa Renee Hall, and Layla Saad.Nichole's favorite things include Reina Pomeroy (lots of guests have raved to me about Reina's programs!), movies, baking, The Great British Baking Show, tea, cozy blankets, books (memoirs!) and her husband.She has a great gift guide up right now so check that out! Remember to check out our Taking the Middle Seat Gift Guide too.I am 100% certain Nichole is going to change the world. She speaks truth to power. She shines light where it is needed.

Leesa Renee Hall is many things – activist, leader, questioner, writer, filmmaker, teacher … and she’s an old friend of mine. This free-ranging conversation covers a lot of ground, especially in the aftermath of the testimony by Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanagh in the Supreme Court hearings recently. That’s relevant because Leesa has a way for us to deal with the extraordinary emotional fallout after those events. Mainly because she is engaged in a daily practice, and teaching, something she calls ‘Expressive Writing’. She describes it as this: “By writing every morning without editing or censoring myself, a process known as expressive writing, I confronted my internal oppression, let go of the expectations others placed on me, and advocated for the person I was born to be.” According to researchers, write therapy is as beneficial as talk therapy and coaching in changing human behavior. So Leesa has tapped into this by guiding all of us in ways to become more whole through writing prompts. In this conversation, we dug into writing prompts and how they can heal everything from fat shame to unconscious racism to our shared upset over triggering media. Here’s what I learned: Why expressive writing healed Leesa … and me All the many things that can come out of tapping into our unexpressed flow of emotions How to do expressive writing – and when How Highly Sensitive People are especially suited to this practice, and who they are How to know if you’re a Highly Sensitive Introverted Leader, and what to do about it Unconscious biases and how we hold them – and how to heal them with writing prompts How white supremacy depends on a culture of perfectionism – and how that effects all of us The importance of being able to make mistakes with grace I hope you take a moment to listen. It’s a powerful, helpful conversation.

Just to let you know, we briefly talk about suicide (15:35) and racism in this episode (31:44). This week we have a long catch up, firstly starting with the weather because would we be British if we didn't? In Telly Talk it's the penultimate of Liv's ‘Love Island Minute' - Liv also discusses Mamma Mia 2, Disney's Coco and Christopher Robin. Meanwhile Charlotte's been watching Anthony Bourdain's back catalogue, continuing with Dietland, and is now Ladygaga's number fan after watching her documentary Five Foot Two. Alongside TV, we discuss the book ‘Why I am No Longer Talking to White People About Race' by Reni Eddo-Lodge. In shopping we learn what dream Gucci item Liv is lusting over, and Charlotte's new favourite cheese (you really get it all on this podcast). Alongside this we discuss visiting Sheffield, going pescatarian for a week and a few of our favourite new apps.

I am thrilled today to have on The Priestess Podcast Leesa Renee Hall who I consider to be an incredible guide and mentor to me in my life right now.  Leesa is a creative word artist and social historian with a passion for helping people unpack their internal biases – especially whiteness – and show up in the world as more compassionate and whole human beings.  Today Leesa and I discuss a shared passion around ancestry and our cultural lineages and why these are so important on our spiritual journeys, especially in efforts not to appropriate other cultures and spiritual practices, and truly ground ourselves in our own rich heritage.  Learning who you truly are and where you truly come from requires you to go beyond the grave and I hope my conversation with Leesa today inspires you to do just that.

Hey Everyday World Changers! Today’s guest, Leesa Renee Hall, is quite literally one of my favorite people. She’s the kind of woman who is unapologetically herself and says what’s on her mind and her heart, even if she knows that some people may get rubbed in the wrong way. As a recovering “nice girl” myself, this is something that I’ve been working on bringing into my life more too, and I’m just so inspired by how Leesa shows up in the world. We dig really deep here, and in this conversation we talk about a unique writing practice that Leesa teaches and says is one of the best things she’s ever done for developing more self-awareness, discovering who she truly is deep down and embodying more of herself in everything she does. She knows a thing or two about writing and vulnerability, because she is the author of 7 (almost 8!) books, and more recently, has turned her attention to writing about the intersection of race, spirituality and leadership. In this discussion she’ll help you dissect your own identity in a really meaningful way, so that you can truly see who it is you’re being in order to become who you’re really meant to be. If this episode resonated with you, it would make my day if you could take a screenshot of you listening on your device. Post it on your Instagram feed or stories, and tag me, @melyssa_griffin, and let me know how helped you. Knowing that people like you are listening to this podcast is honestly what keeps this show going!

I first came across Leesa's work when her Expressive Writing Prompts for White Fragility and Spiritual Bypass were shared in a group I'm part of.  Her work opened my mind up to questions I had never considered in my life and I was so excited to get to chat to her about her work.  And do you ever meet someone (even online) who you just click with and instantly love? Leesa and I spent about 2 hours talking and she is just an absolute joy and her work is SO important and so necessary. If you're new to expressive writing, I know this episode is probably going to blow your mind because it's so relevant and such a perfect tool for introverts and highly sensitive people.  We also chat about: + Creating spontaneity within the structure of writing every day; + How expressive writing is so suited to introverted and highly sensitive people; + The importance of getting up early to connect with the quiet and the divine;  + Creating boundaries and advocating for ourselves so we can advocate for others; + Expressive writing to get clear on your thoughts before sharing with others and not get drained as much by others; + The curiousity of being introverted and using writing to delve further into that; + What the 'art of self enquiry' is and why it's so important for introverts and highly sensitive people to review our internal programming; + How to do activism on your terms by working out what we're really passionate about and putting our time and energy into that; + Using our words and writing to inspire and advocate for a cause.

Leesa Renee Hall is a speaker, writer and tech industry veteran. I first became aware of Leesa's work when she introduced me to the notion of the "Like" fast and social media algorithms that are inherently racist. But I was fascinated when I learned she has been the organist at hundreds of funerals. In this conversation, we begin with sharing about our ancestry and some of the genealogy research we've done. We learn about Leesa's early experiences in church and how she became an organist. We discover her approach to curious inquiry and expressive writing (Why at 4:30am specifically?) and we drift into a discussion of white fragility.
