Hey there, friends! We are in episode 2 of our September mini series on the "why" behind our passions.   Today's guest is the incredible Leisse Wilcox, and let me tell you, this conversation is a total blast! We shared so many laughs and even tasted some incredible stories from her book. But beyond the fun, Leisse's insights on women in business are nothing short of inspiring. I truly believe you're going to love what we discuss today!   00:00 - Introduction More about our guest today   Leisse Wilcox - known as “the Secret Weapon of the C Suite” - is the best at helping you be the best at what you do.   As an award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and certified Executive Performance Coach, she helps leaders and teams get out of their own way to get results so they can live, lead, and succeed on their terms.   01:42 - A deep dive into shame and core wounding Leisse shares a story about a client who felt financial guilt rooted in childhood experiences. It's a reminder of how deeply these unconscious beliefs can affect us. This conversation touches on the importance of addressing these beliefs and their impact on personal and professional growth.   04:36 - Leisse's approach to client work Leisse opens up about the challenges of selling her services, especially when clients aren't aware of their unconscious barriers and the solutions she has found in her years of experience to address these core issues that have shaped her client's financial behaviors. Through real-life examples, she illustrates how addressing past traumas can lead to significant growth.   09:00 - Leisse's personal journey and business start Leisse shares her incredible journey from a tough divorce to becoming a successful entrepreneur. She talks about starting from scratch and how her background in childhood development and passion for coaching shaped her path. Her story is a testament to resilience and reinvention. If you are bootstrapping right now, I am sure you are going to get some helpful pointers here!   25:27-  The importance of separating personal identity from business It is crucial to recognize that your business is its own entity—any setbacks in business don't define who you are. Leisse and I talk about this while we unpack the impact of societal expectations and how the patriarchy shapes the way men and women perceive their roles.   37:24 - Pricing strategies and practical advice Leisse has one philosophy of charging and it is all based on understanding your value and setting a price that resonates with both you and your clients.   40:22 - Conclusion If there's one thing I hope you take from this conversation, it's that you're more than your business or your job. Your worth isn't tied to a title or an outcome. So, pursue what lights you up, and don't be afraid to rewrite the rules along the way!    I hope this episode sparked something inside of you, and if it did, I'd love to hear your thoughts.   Mentions: Leisse on Instagram Leisse on Linkedin Leisse Wilcox website Other resources Strategic Pricing Guide: https://leissewilcox.myflodesk.com/pricingandserviceguide The Good, ENOUGH Leader Masterclass: https://leissewilcox.myflodesk.com/masterclass Like You Own the Place: Free Video Confidence Course: https://leissewilcox.myflodesk.com/confidence Q4 Strategic Vision Planner: https://bit.ly/strategicvisionplanner Connect with me: https://jennynuccio.com/contact Follow along with my Weekly Wild: Sign Up!

Herkömmliche Computer kennen nur Einsen und Nullen; sie können Aufgaben nur strikt hintereinander abarbeiten. Angenommen, es gäbe Computer, die alles auf einmal erledigen können, beliebig viele Zustände zwischen Eins und Null annehmen, und komplexe Aufgaben wie Routenoptimierung oder Molekül-Berechnungen in einem Wimpernschlag erledigen? Quantencomputer könnten das vielleicht schaffen. Weltweit ist ein Boom der Quantentechnologie ausgebrochen. Rund 25 Milliarden Investitionen haben allein die Nationalstaaten angekündigt – aus Angst, etwas zu verpassen. Denn klar ist: Wenn der Quantencomputer kommt, muss man ihn haben; sonst wird man hoffnungslos abgehängt. Das verrät uns diese Woche Jan Leisse, CEO bei eleQtron, einem Unternehmen, dass mit disruptiven Technologien Quantencomputing von der Forschung in die Anwendung bringt, neue Märkte erschließt und schon heute den Weg für Innovationen von morgen ebnet. Obwohl wir noch am Anfang dieser Revolution stehen, arbeiten weltweit brillante Köpfe wie Jan daran, die Herausforderungen zu meistern. Quantencomputing verspricht, unsere Welt radikal zu verändern und Innovationen schneller voranzutreiben, als wir es je für möglich gehalten hätten! Eine Folge für alle, die wissen wollen, was Quantencomputing eigentlich ist, wie es funktioniert und warum es gerade im Hinblick auf unsere Zukunft so spannend ist. Ihnen hat die Folge gefallen oder Sie haben Feedback für uns? Dann schreiben Sie uns gerne an podcast@hy.co. Wir freuen uns über Post von Ihnen.

Quantencomputer sind die Zukunft. Die Rechenmaschinen arbeiten mit Qubits, der kleinstmöglichen Recheneinheit und sollen komplexe Berechnungen schneller als klassische Rechner erledigen. Klimamodelle zum Beispiel, mit denen Forscher Szenarien wie Sturmfluten oder Dürren berechnen, sollen zuverlässiger werden. Auch bei der Impfstoffforschung sind hochkomplexe Simulationen damit in Sekunden statt in Stunden fertig.Deutschlands Deep-Tech­-Hoffnung liegt in Siegen, dort befindet sich der Unternehmenssitz von Eleqtron. "Was wir hier machen, ist größer als die Erfindung des Buchdrucks, des Internets oder auch des Feuers", sagt Jan Leisse, der Chef des Quantencomputerherstellers.Dass Quantencomputer der neue Hype sind, hat auch die Politik mitbekommen. Deshalb weihte Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz Ende Mai den ersten komplett in Deutschland gebauten Prototypen ein. Auch hier ist das Siegener Startup Eleqtron mit von der Partie. "Das konkrete Projektbeispiel hier zeigt, dass die Impulse, die wir für Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft gesetzt haben, erste Früchte tragen", sagt der Bundeskanzler. "Zudem zeigt sich: Wir in Deutschland können uns mit unseren Anstrengungen im internationalen Vergleich sehen lassen."Voraussetzung dafür sind jede Menge Daten. Ein Quantenrechner kann deutlich mehr Datenmengen abspeichern und bearbeiten als herkömmliche Computer. Die Erfindung ist leistungsfähig, bisher aber auch fehleranfällig, gibt Gründer Jan Leisse zu. Leisse ist vom Geschäftsführer eines Maschinenbauspezialisten aus dem Siegerland zum Startup-Gründer geworden. Im ntv-Podcast "Startup - Jetzt ganz ehrlich" verrät er, wie Quantencomputer ganz konkret die Welt verändern sollen, welche Gefahren und Chancen es gibt und wie Deutschland international aufgestellt ist."Startup - jetzt ganz ehrlich" - der Podcast mit Janna Linke.

As entrepreneurs, we face perpetual mental hurdles, worrying and pushing forward constantly to scale our businesses to the next level. This constant hustle can sometimes mask insecurities and fears. In today's episode, Leisse Wilcox joins me to dive into stepping into your true self, leveraging your unique confidence and letting it guide you. Leisse is an expert in imparting confidence, and we talk about this crucial aspect of entrepreneurship. Leisse Wilcox helps women make more money. She is on a mission to help entrepreneurial women generate a million more dollars in revenue in 2024 alone. As a strategic business coach, 2-time best-selling author, international speaker, and mom of three tween girls, Leisse is the Marie Kondo of Your Unconscious who helps you end self-sabotage, increase your revenue, and stop playing small. Stepping into your true self and leading with authenticity can be daunting, especially in our online-saturated world where conforming to societal standards seems easier. Despite this, we must focus on who we are, allowing our identity to steer us towards our business goals. The Journey to Achieving Confidence Leisse elaborates on her approach to achieving this unshakeable confidence. She outlines a seven-step plan to attaining confidence, starting with understanding that confidence is a choice, following through with integrity, and finally defining what success looks like to you personally. In an insightful conversation about the meaning of success, Leisse candidly speaks about the importance of defining personal success. For her, success means leading a simple life with her family, doing work she is passionate about, and making a worldwide impact. Overcoming Self-Sabotage Leisse identifies self-sabotage as one of the significant struggles for entrepreneurs. It often concertizes as deep-rooted fears and insecurities, leading to procrastination and self-doubt. By gathering and sharing the necessary information and understanding your patterns and biological reactions to situations, you can start implementing strategies to counteract self-sabotage. The main Antidote combines self-awareness and curiosity about our thoughts, followed by challenge and change. Finding Freedom in Confidence Upon achieving true confidence, we talk about how clients often describe the feeling as transformative and freeing. It enables entrepreneurs to redraw their norms, venture out of their comfort zones, and appreciate each step along their entrepreneurial adventure. My advice to fellow entrepreneurs is straightforward: "Trust Yourself." Trusting your abilities may sometimes be challenging in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, but it is a vital part of the journey to success. Living your entrepreneurial journey with unshakeable self-confidence can elevate your business. While the path to confidence may be littered with hardships, you can build the foundation for lasting success. So whether you are just setting foot in the entrepreneurial world or have already built your empire, remember to trust your abilities, face self-sabotage head-on, and let your accurate, confident self-guide -- you.   We talk about:  0:00 Intro 3:47 What does unshakeable confidence mean to Leisse 4:51 The hurdle of social media and what is shown to us 6:17 Tips for people struggling to figure out who they are + her top 3 pillars 8:07 What does success look like for Leisse 13:55 3-step progress to reprogram your mind 24:35 How to not let complex challenges bleed into everything with your clients and business 25:59 What life looks like for the truly confident 27:42 Biggest struggle of high performers 35:48 Antidote to self-sabotage 37:37 One piece of advice for entrepreneurs    Resources mentioned in this episode: Join my masterclass: https://learn.lisaanne.ca/social-media-lead-gen   Connect with me Website - https://lisaanne.ca  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching Connect with Leisse Website - https://leissewilcox.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/leissewilcox LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/leisse-wilcox-197a31112/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/leissewilcox/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/

NLP is the user's manual to your mind. It is a shortcut to help you to truly know yourself - how your mind works, processes information and experiences. Our thoughts and internal dialogue are an extension of the core beliefs that we hold in an unconscious capacity. We cannot access 90% of the iceberg that's hidden below the surface. Perceived blocks or obstacles become ingrained in the fabric or the fiber of our being from unconscious experiences we've had in our very earliest childhood days. Nervous system healing happens at an unconscious level and refers to somebody else's version of reality that they pass on to us until we decide to do things differently. We discussed a range of topics from what NLP stands for, my upcoming book and how we can create our own narrative from a healed and informed place.   We discuss: What NLP means and why it is important.  When you tap into feelings and emotions during an NLP session, you can end up with a vulnerability hangover.  If you stay stuck in the story of overcoming you stay stuck in the trauma of the past. The gift of using NLP informed work is that we start to understand how our past has informed or shaped our present without letting it dictate our future. What imprint your story left behind and how can we create a new story that moves you in the direction you want to go.    Connect with: Leisse Wilcox Website: https://leissewilcox.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leisse-wilcox-197a31112/    I hope you enjoyed this episode of Evolve: A New Era of Leadership.

Um die Quantentechnologie ist ein Wettstreit ausgebrochen zwischen Nationen, aber auch zwischen großen Tech-Konzernen und kleinen Startups. Jan Leisse will mit Eleqtron mitmischen. Sein Startup soll als eines von fünf Firmen einen neuartigen Quantencomputer für das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) bauen.Es ist eine teure Wette, wie Leisse im ntv-Podcast "So techt Deutschland" zugibt. Weltweit werden viele Milliarden Euro in unterschiedliche technologische Ansätze investiert, obwohl es "noch keinen Use Case gibt, der wirklich in der Realwelt, in der Industrie angekommen ist".Dennoch ist nicht nur Leisse vom tiefgreifenden Potenzial von Quantencomputern überzeugt. "Das, woran wir arbeiten, ist ultra-revolutionär disruptiv", sagt der Gründer im Podcast. Von der Bedeutung her sei es eine "Kombination aus der Entwicklung des Rades, der Entdeckung des Feuers und des Buchdrucks".Eine Disruption, für die gerade Startups viel Geld brauchen. Und das ist gerade in Europa und speziell in Deutschland nicht immer so einfach zu bekommen.

Um die Quantentechnologie ist ein Wettstreit ausgebrochen zwischen Nationen, aber auch zwischen großen Tech-Konzernen und kleinen Startups. Jan Leisse will mit Eleqtron mitmischen. Sein Startup soll als eines von fünf Firmen einen neuartigen Quantencomputer für das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) bauen.Es ist eine teure Wette, wie Leisse im ntv-Podcast "So techt Deutschland" zugibt. Weltweit werden viele Milliarden Euro in unterschiedliche technologische Ansätze investiert, obwohl es "noch keinen Use Case gibt, der wirklich in der Realwelt, in der Industrie angekommen ist".Dennoch ist nicht nur Leisse vom tiefgreifenden Potenzial von Quantencomputern überzeugt. "Das, woran wir arbeiten, ist ultra-revolutionär disruptiv", sagt der Gründer im Podcast. Von der Bedeutung her sei es eine "Kombination aus der Entwicklung des Rades, der Entdeckung des Feuers und des Buchdrucks".Eine Disruption, für die gerade Startups viel Geld brauchen. Und das ist gerade in Europa und speziell in Deutschland nicht immer so einfach zu bekommen. "Alleine der Weg aus dem Lehrstuhl heraus einen Investor zu finden, der in uns investiert, war wirklich schwierig", sagt Leisse, der trotzdem überzeugt ist, dass sich der weite Weg zum Erfolg lohnt."Wir haben so viel an Technologie verloren", verweist der Gründer auf Amazon, Google und Co.

In this episode, I sit down with fellow money coach Leisse Wilcox to discuss the impact of patriarchy on our lives, beliefs, and money. Together we address how women can take action and break out of the box society pressures us to live within. Leisse and I work with smart, powerful, and successful women who feel held back by a patriarchal society. To overcome inequalities in how women think about and earn money, we need to unpack the subconscious belief that women are meant to serve men. This ancient expectation is ingrained into the fiber of our DNA and unconsciously dictates our thoughts and actions. We need to reprogram our brains and critically view the messages we have received about women and money.  Get inspired to take action by bridging the gap between self-worth and net worth. We hope our conversation encourages you to have more money talks with yourself, friends, and other professional women. While we can't take down the patriarchy in a day, let's continue to empower each other to invest in ourselves, be confident of our worth, and focus on expansion in every aspect of our lives.  While listening to this episode, consider your thoughts as Leisse and I explore these questions… [00:18:30] How does patriarchy impact women's ability to earn money? [00:40:00] What can you concretely do to move forward and have a better relationship with your money and be aware of the patriarchy and how it impacts you? Tune in to this episode of Money Files and listen to two money coaches discuss how to take action against the patriarchy and how it affects our beliefs about money.

Theatre took a blow during the pandemic, but who better to tackle the challenges than a creative crew. Laurie Steven is an award-winning director, playwright, dramaturge, and the founding Artistic Director of Odyssey Theatre who joins me to share how her theatre group has embraced the growing genre of audio dramas with The Other Path, a unique collection of modern folklore that tackles today's big issues on your favourite podcast provider. We're all starved for some kindness, so I'm delighted to have my dear friend Erica Ehm join me to discuss The Undercover Kindness Project from The Ontario Caregivers Organization that she has partnered with to help spread comfort and joy to unsuspectiing caregivers who desperately could use our support. Anne Brodie is here with entertainment and this week she shares what she feels will be an Oscar contender with Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan for their gut-wrenching performances in The Banshees of Inisherin, South Korea's Official Oscar Selection for International Feature Film Decision to Leave, and Margaret Brown's stunning documentary Descendent, now on Netflix. Choosing to be compassionate over cynical is hard in a world that keeps throwing us curveballs but its the only way through. Leisse Wilcox joins me to to share her three top tips for helping others while maintaining your sanity in a topsy-turvy world. Added bonus Leisse's voice is like butter and if nothing else will soothe your soul just listening to her. We've talked a lot about mid-life lately on this show, so today I offer up someone who is walking the talk. Lesley Crewe wrote her first book at 50 and since then has published 14 books. She joins me to share more on this life pivot and details on her new book Nosy Parker. Finally, writing a book is a lot of work. Now imagine also creating an online world and soundtrack where fans can fully immerse themselves in your fictional world. That's exactly what my final guest Sienna Tristen has done with her husband Avi Silver in The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming, a labour of love that is less plot more vibes built over the last decade.

In this week's episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, I talk to author and life coach, Leisse Wilcox.Leisse is a results-focused and strategic life coach based in Toronto, Canada. She helps people bring clarity in what they want, confidence in who they are, and courage to stay true to them both; essentially she helps people become the version of themselves that they've been dreaming about. Leisse is also the best-selling author of two books, the most recent of which is called ‘Alone: The Truth & Beauty Of Belonging' which we talk alot about in this conversation and which is essentially a reframe of what it means to be alone. It also looks at the importance of the relationship we have with ourselves, something which you'll know I feel passionately about and talk about alot on this podcast.In this conversation, Leisse and I talk about how we're all co-creators of our own lives, and how we always have agency over our lives; her thoughts on spirituality and how there's something beyond us that we can all tune into; how her divorce turned her life upside down and how she was forced to reinvent herself and her life; and how she was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 36 years old.We also cover Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), what it is and how it works; how our actions and behaviours are dictated by our thoughts, and how our thoughts are inextricably linked to our unconscious beliefs; the human experience and how none of us get through life unscathed, but we all get to choose how we respond and react to things; and why so many of us engage in co-dependency / people pleasing and why it's unhealthy.Leisse and I look at shame amongst single women and how it is such a difficult and heavy emotion; how centuries of gendered oppression have been passed down telling us what our lives should look like; the toxic narrative of society which still tells single women that they ‘haven't done it right'; and the difference between the fear of being single and the fear of being alone.  Finally, we talk about Leisse's book, Alone: The Truth & Beauty Of Belonging, which is the ultimate reframe on what it means to be alone; we discuss what motivated her to write it in the first place; how being alone is not a bad thing in and of itself, but rather the meaning we attach to it; what it means to belong to yourself; and how when we learn how to belong to ourselves, we can never, ever be alone. Follow Leisse on Twitter: @LeisseWilcoxFollow Leisse on Instgram: @leissewilcoxLeisse's Website: www.leissewilcox.com US Link to Leisse's Book, Alone: The Truth & Beauty Of Belonging: https://www.amazon.com/ALONE-Beauty-Belonging-Leisse-Wilcox/dp/1989716334/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=leisse+wilcox&qid=1659555158&sprefix=leisse+%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-2 UK Link to Leisse's Book, Alone: The Truth & Beauty Of Belonging: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ALONE-Beauty-Belonging-Leisse-Wilcox-ebook/dp/B09FNR153Y/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3P6VRDRUN15YA&keywords=alone+leisse+wilcox&qid=1659555224&sprefix=alone+leisse+wilcox%2Caps%2C54&sr=8-1 Join my private Facebook Group: Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: @spinsterhoodreimaginedFollow me on Twitter: @LucyMeggesonEmail me: lucymeggeson@gmail.com

Divorce is brutal. The wound it leaves is deep and lasting. Can we find restoration and redemption after the death of a marriage? Can we resuscitate a demolished heart? Leisse Wilcox and Elliott Anderson discuss the profound grief inherent to divorce. They hold space for the hurting. They honor the loss and pain. And simultaneously, they invite you on a healing journey. Specifically, they discuss: The primal wound vs. the divorce wound. Pain, shame, and blame surrounding divorce—and the gender differences Elliott has noticed in his work with couples. Leisse observes divorce can trigger the primal wound, causing us to swim in a “soup” of shame and pain. How divorce exacerbates the chronic “not enoughness” women feel. The parallels between divorce and death. The “zombie state” of divorce—the marriage is dead, but your ex is not. Elliott discusses how divorce leaves a spiritual wound and splits your psyche. Leisse compares divorce to cancer; she has endured both. We share strategies for dating a divorced man with children. Healing is a journey, not a destination. No one would pick the path of divorce. But restoration is possible; redemption is available. And, this road, though horribly painful, can help bring us home to ourselves. Leisse Wilcox Website: https://leissewilcox.com/ Rev.

If you've been single for any portion of your adult life—and especially if this solo season has lasted longer than you hoped it would—you've felt the ache of loneliness. You've watched happy couples and wondered when you'll meet your partner. You've likely slipped into fear—what if you never meet your person? What if you never “belong” to anyone? Leisse Wilcox gets it. She's felt these feelings—deeply. And, at 40, she continues to wrestle with a post-divorce, post-cancer diagnosis life that looks nothing like she expected it would. As a writer, Leisse has unpacked this struggle in her new book, Alone: The Truth + Beauty of Belonging. Our conversation today can be summarized by my review of Leisse's book. “Part memoir, part self-help guide, part love letter to anyone aching with loneliness, Alone: The Truth + Beauty of Belonging assures us that though we may not choose to be alone, we absolutely choose the meaning we ascribe to our solitude. Through potent reframes e.g., What if self-care became soul care? and It's the feeling you want, not the thing you want, Leisse emboldens us to embrace the truth that ‘when you belong to yourself, you are never really alone.'” Spielmann, S., MacDonald, G., Maxwell, J., Joel, S., Peragine, D., Muise, A., & Impett, E. (2013). Settling for less out of fear of being single. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 105, 1049-1073.

If you've ever struggled to believe you deserve love, you're not alone. Many of us grew up in emotionally toxic or traumatic home environments. It's hard to cultivate self-love and acceptance when no one has ever built us up, believed in us, and cherished us. Author and mindset coach, Leisse Wilcox, wrote the book (literally!) on how to love ourselves—To Call Myself Beloved a Story of Hope, Healing, and Coming Home. She joins me to discuss both the strategies she shares with her clients and her personal journey to self-love. Specifically, we touch on: How to unlearn the stories we've told ourselves—many of which are lies. Messages we've internalized and the meaning we ascribe to these messages. The story Leisse believed about herself for so many years—I'm the type of person who's at the end of the table begging for scraps of love. The question that changes everything—are your relationships reinforcing the lies you've been told about your worth? The reality that worthiness is the point of self love; the point isn't to love ourselves hoping to get love. How to know if you need to confront your own reality and how to do so. Leisse learned to call herself beloved and you can, too! Citation: Jerobek, I. (2018, July 8). “I don't deserve love” Study reveals the destructive impact of a lack of self-worth.

Die Corona-Pandemie hat uns in einen Zustand der Unsicherheit katapultiert. Das hat auch sein Gutes, sagt der Trend- und Zukunftsforscher Oliver Leisse. Plötzlich aus dem Hamsterrad geschleudert, hätten wir die große Chance, den Status Quo auf den Prüfstand zu stellen, Entscheidungen zu hinterfragen und neu zu treffen. Leisse hält normalerweise Vorträge bei großen Unternehmen von AOL und Audi über Beiersdorf und Rewe bis zu Vorwerk und Wella, und er berät Kunden weltweit bei ihren Strategie-Entscheidungen. Im Sommer 2020 hat er – selbst aus dem Hamsterrad gefallen – sein zweites Buch geschrieben, mit dem fast schon vermessen klingenden Titel "So geht Zukunft". Zunächst skeptisch, war ich am Ende doch überzeugt von Olivers Gedanken und Impulsen. Also habe ich ihn zum Gespräch getroffen über die Frage: Was sind wichtige Weichen, die wir heute stellen können, damit wir für die unsichere Zukunft gerüstet sind?

Today’s guest on Feminine Roadmap, Leisse Wilcox, is inspiring women to wake up to their own life. Leisse draws insights and wisdom from her life experiences to help connect our common human experience as women, our struggles, our growth and our changing landscapes. Often we struggle through these challenges in isolation, when we do shame and judgement quickly follow. When shame and judgement is added on top of our emotional confusion and wounds it brings about more repression. Eventually that internal struggle must get louder and louder to get our attention. Leisse is calling women to courageously feel those emotions, face our shadows and find the freedom that awaits. In order to wake up to our own lives the journey is through those shadows to find the light on the other side. The challenge she proposes is that many women find themselves feeling that we should be martyrs in our lives, that we don’t deserve to seek what we desire. Who are we to ask for what we want and what feels right and good to us? At first it feels audacious to take time to think about what makes us feel whole, complete and lovely as a human in this world. She proposes that in order to wake up to our own life we must recognize that just because, yes, we can do anything doesn’t necessarily mean we should do everything. Our identities need to be separated from what we do, the roles we play and begin to come from our hearts and souls. Leisse reminds us to recognize our feelings because they are our feedback- the insight into what needs to be addressed- those feelings need to be felt to be healed. Leisse reminds us that in order to be our best in this world we must understand that our most important relationship is the one with ourselves. The better we become and the more authentically we live, the more we are able to show up in the world in a powerful way.

It seems like pivot and resiliency are the hottest buzzwords of 2020.

So, we called in mindset and success coach Leisse Wilcox to teach us everything we need to know about how to cultivate mental resilience and turn whatever life throws at you into a beautiful story. And Leisse is not just your average coach. She is a coveted mindset coach, podcast host, AND bestselling author, who is changing the global conversation on emotional health & wellness.

TLDR: Ignoring your fear will f*ck you. They discuss the pivotal moment in JFlo’s life that shaped the narrative of her life. They touch on the feelings of jealousy, fear, and a fortune cookie that told us that we are competent. The gals plan to go on a taco tour and, of course, John Mayer visits again (in conversation only, unfortunately …).

It's something I don't think we spend enough time on really embodying. You very much need the clarity of why the hell you are doing this to act as your anchor. And when you are very clear, when you understand implicitly your purpose and your why that is the touchstone so you can detach from needing a particular outcome, you can just stay focused on why you are doing what you are doing.

Leisse's book just dropped today and I can I'm just cannot get enough of it.   [00:02:21] I can't tell you how excited I am to be this kind of baptismal moment of one of her first few podcasts to kind of climb through all of it. And I will do just that with you before I get to asking her questions. I will tell everyone who might be new to the podcast. I will read a quick bio on this. But before I do that, let me give you a quick roadmap for today's podcast, inquiry and line of trajectory in which that will follow. We'll first look at unpacking Leisse's story. So I'll ask her about her academic, professional and personal history. It pretends particularly close to her career at this point. And then we'll look at unpacking Leisse's career right now. We'll look at her coaching. I want to get into her podcast and then also, of course, her most recent book titled To Call Myself Beloved A Story of Hope, Healing and Coming Home. Her podcast, also under the same vein, is titled To Call Myself Beloved. And we will call kind of climate, too. We'll get first to all the logistics of those endeavors. So the who, what, when, where, why? And then we'll climb into some of the more specifics about the ethos and the philosophy. So we'll cover both aspects of that spectrum. And then we'll turn to as all of the podcast in this particular series, we'll turn to unpacking goals that list has for the next one to three years for herself. And we'll wrap everything up with advice that she has for those of you who are looking to kind of garner some of her wisdom and perhaps emulate some of her career success. So before I question her, I start peppering her with questions, rather a quick bio. As promised, onlies Leisse Wilcox is a transformational mindset and success coach who helps high potential women courageously become the vision of themselves. They can't stop dreaming about a passionate speaker, dynamic thought leader, author and LP practitioner, top podcast host, cancer survivor, mom of three and taco enthusiast. Her entire experience has been about coming home to her true self and to call herself beloved, knowing intimately that changing the world starts by making the changes we want to see within ourselves.   [00:04:26] First, an expert featured on Simple Habit and an entrepreneurial advisor with Startup Canada. Leisse's  intention is to guide people to come home to themselves, giving them permission to live authentically. Leisse's first book, To Call Myself Beloved, is available now, and you can watch her on season two of Amazon Prime's The Social Movement. So please, I can't wait to unpack everything. As I said, I am become positively giddy with new authors and particularly like I don't think I've ever had a guest on launch that day and I'm into your book.   [00:04:59] But before we get to all of that, I was hoping you can draw us a narrative however you see fit of your personal background. You know, briefly how your childhood spilled into adulthood, leading to you, to the endeavors that we will speak about today.   [00:05:14] Absolutely. That was an amazing intro, and I got to tell you, I was sweating a little because I was like, well, we are going to get very real here.   [00:05:20] And also, how much time do I have?   [00:05:22] This is like a major, major suitcase or series of suitcases that we're going to unpack. You know, my story that has informed that has informed my present. Absolutely. Without dictating my future. If I had a I had a really difficult childhood, as so many of us do. My mom left very, very early on and for a while it was just my dad and I. Which was amazing. And a few years later, he reconnected with somebody like our high school sweetheart and they kind of partnered up together and it felt like my dad died and it was like Cinderella story kind of living out in my real life with this new stepmother there who openly did not want me in her life. They had two more kids together. I was such an inconvenience to her life and her lifestyle that I really felt like I had to minimize my entire existence. And that might not sound like a big deal if I wasn't physically abused. And I was like, OK, right. I also wasn't loved. And she shut everybody out of our lives who did love me. So she created this weird dynamic, which is classic and narcissistic abuse that she isolated me. So I had nobody else to turn to for any help. And she the way that the environment she created, I suppose, was one that made me question my own sanity. And so it was just this really, really uncomfortable place where I learned that I wasn't a person of value and if I wanted to get the love I so desperately needed. We also desperately need, especially as kids. I was gonna have to radically change my personality. And so I learned how to put on all these masks and learn how to please other people. And as I say, like minimize my own existence and stop listening to my own intuition and only listen to what I thought other people would expect from me. Well, guess what? That's not a great way to live your life. It was survival mode for sure. And what that survival mode taught me as I grew up was that that's how we find love. We develop these patterns of attachment that when I would meet somebody who is like, OK, here's a person for whom I have to fight for their love. I have to prove myself. I have to be who I am not. Oh, this is familiar.   [00:07:31] This is what a healthy relationship dynamic looks like.   [00:07:33] So, you know, fast forward a few years. I got into a marriage and that just absolutely was so included by his family. And I absolutely felt like I was home for the first time. But the marriage itself, even through beautiful vacations and three wonderful children together and this picture perfect dream life, we had created you so lonely, it was so lonely inside. And one day I had this genuine wake up moment of, you know, we're our seven bedroom house. We're in this beautiful, tiny little town with beltless property, wonderful family around us. And I remember lying on the floor of my little girls, looking at my good looking husband in the kitchen and making coffee at our, like, Karara career, a marble bar. And I had this sinking feeling of like. If this isn't enough for me, what the hell is wrong with me? I had this moment of intuition. Hi yourself. God universe what everyone is. I heard this little voice and that little guiding voice was saying, none of this is enough for you because you are not enough for you. And in that moment, it really did feel like I woke up and I knew at that point that I had some painful decisions to make and some painful conversations to have. And ultimately, I ended the marriage right. I called time of death on the merits of this kind of already dead and started Life 2.0 in a brand new direction.   [00:09:11] That's amazing. I mean, I can't recall.   [00:09:14] You know, I've heard a lot of particularly for this series over the past three years, I've spoken to a lot of women and women, identified individuals, non binary individuals included in that. And I none of them have come to their point.   [00:09:27] And perhaps it's just not spoken about as much because it feels almost privileged. But this idea that, you know, you come to this ultimate success, you know, you had the money, the family, the the mate, all of it. And to realize at that point to be brave enough to call, to just say it's not it's not working on me is kind of amazing. I'm wondering first steps when you headed down because your book is about, you know, the lessons from this journey. Right. As you said yourself, the difficult conversations and this began, it sounds like this is the one of the first difficult conversations you posture to yourself in order to come to all of these realizations. And I'm wondering, did you first have a mentor? Where was the first place you looked to guide yourself? Because your book is about guidance and helping other people have these conversations. Who guided you?   [00:10:24] Google, which is why I wrote the book.   [00:10:31] You know, in fairness, I had like a new friendship at the time with a woman who was very spiritual and kind of one of those other worldly people. I mean, you live in California.   [00:10:41] Maybe you just grew up with these people. I didn't grow up with these people. And I bear in my life now, like, I totally get it now.   [00:10:46] But at the time, she was the first person who really started talking to me about there being another way or about, you know, increasing my faith in the process and trusting what was unfolding. And she's like the first person to ever use those words with me. And I remember I I had a lot of conversations with her which helped me feel like I wasn't crazy.   [00:11:05] I have an incredible art. I have an incredible extended family. But I have one aunt who is such a rock. And when I got through all the Google searches, like, what will happen if I stay? What'll happen if I go? How do I know it's time for divorce?   [00:11:17] Like, what is marriage supposed to feel like and other assorted Google phrases?   [00:11:22] You know, I phoned my aunt and I was like, I think I know what I have to do and I need to know if you will support me in this. And I don't know why I chose to have that conversation with her. I don't know why that was important for me to do. But, oh, man, am I ever glad that I did. Because it it kind of it kind of forged a contract. To be honest. So it kind of forged this emotional contract that I knew I had her support as my person to go and talk to. What's interesting is that, you know, you mentioned that this is the pain that we don't talk about because it sounds privileged and absolutely like you're familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. When you have your physiological needs met, you have your physical needs met, your needs for safety and security. You have all those needs met. You're still having a human experience. And this is what's so fascinating to me is that pain is relative. So absolutely, you can call it a privilege because there is a lot of privilege in there. But we're still having a human experience and that human experience is rooted in our emotional health and our feelings. And I work with so many women who are like overachievers. Right. We're all high achievers. And we've learned through our lives that you do achieve, do achieve, do achieve. And if you want to achieve more than you do more. And suddenly so many women get to this point where they're like. Oh, I did everything right. I climbed all the right ladders and made all the right moves and made all the right connections. I have this list in front of me of all the things I was supposed to do and I checked us. So how can I feel like shit? And then that's wrapped in shame because you're like, well, I obviously can't talk about this because who am I to complain? Like, look at my life. And what we're not looking at is like, Sure. Look at the outside of my legs. Look at the outset of my world. But what does my inner world look like? And for me, it was like overriding that shame or feeling the shame and healing through it to allow myself permission to be like, listen, you do have a loving and supportive in-law family. You do have you know what? At that time, felt like a really huge group of friends and support. And you're not happy. And you've been to therapy and you read the books and not the podcast. The time that, you know, you you've taken all the steps to heal this. And, you know, I remember having a notebook full of things that we had tried to like, quote unquote, make marriage work. And Amber, getting to the final page in the notebook and being like, oh, shit, I know what has to happen. And what has to happen is that either he has to radically change his personality or I have to radically change mine.   [00:13:57] And like I had this visceral reaction as somebody who had had to change her entire personality for the first 30 years of her life.   [00:14:05] I was like, you know what? I think I'm done. I think I'm going to have this really, really painful conversation and make a decision that is, for the first time in my life, rooted in what honors my needs. And I'm going to act in a way that is actually advocating for who I am and what I need. And that was the beginning of this. Like, I get shivers still talking about it. It was the beginning of this, like, wild trajectory of tapping into more of that. Because no matter how difficult that was, once you rang the bell. You can't hear it. Right. And as a result, my piece is the most valuable thing I own. And I paid dearly for it. And I still wouldn't change that for the world.   [00:14:53] No, it's life shattering. And I think anyone who hasn't felt it are the only population that wouldn't get that. He who has gone through a life, regardless of, you know, judgment from the outside, which I like to abstain from altogether, but to to come out in adulthood to a sense of self knowing and peace and compassion wrapped within that for the self, you know, a lot of times in this world, particularly covered pandemic talk. People get into compassion, which I love. I want to help spread the word. But it begins with compassion for the self, you know, and a self awareness that, like you said, you know, once you've tapped into it, it leads onto more of that. And that actually feeds your society more than anything I think ever would. But it's so it's so powerful to hear you talk about that. I do want to start climbing to you. So I first want to look at the podcast because the book launched just today. And I want to kind of unpack the book after we've talked a little bit about the podcast. And I want to start off with some of the nuts and bolts of it. So when was it launched? I have down I saw the last up with the first episode is last August. I'm not sure if that's accurate. So if it was launched a year ago, what the impetus was for it. Did you take any funding or capital? How did you get going with it? Did you have a guest host? Did you have an idea as to how many you were going to release? How did you know about any or end or all of it? Or did it just all come to fruition naturally?   [00:16:18] You are not going to like the answer I'm going to give you because I Googled it once again and I Googled it, though very honestly.   [00:16:24] I remember August sounds about right, but I can't quite remember. I there's somebody who's, you know, used to be actively in my life is now kind of on the periphery of my life. But I have a lot of respect for her. And there've been so many moments in my life where she's such a boss and she's just kind of popped in and be like, oh, you should start a blog. And I'm like, OK, so I write a blog. And then she'll be like, you know, people aren't reading long form content anymore. Usually start an Instagram account. So I like durin Instagram into a microblog. And she popped up one day. She's like, you need a podcast like you, you need a podcast, period. And I was like, I don't want I don't want to do this. I don't have a podcast. What would that be like? And fast forward a little bit, which we can unpack this, too, because it's the third major cataclysmic event of my life, which is also the third in the book. I got a breast cancer diagnosis at age 36 and I had like a week before my 37 birthday or something like that. And it was during chemotherapy that I a decided, well, I have some time.   [00:17:28] And now I guess I can to write a book proposal up. I'm wondering how I'm going to fit that into my schedule.   [00:17:34] And I also use that that time, four months of chemo to research. I literally did. Google had. Casts. I just like went through a checklist and I follow that I ordered a podcast kit from Amazon. People are always shocked to hear this, but I read in a podcast kit, you know, I ended up meeting somebody locally who's a musician, really talented. And I was like, oh.   [00:17:56] You literally sound like John Mayer when you play guitar. Would you would you write a song for me? Europium song for me.   [00:18:03] And he does on my audio. And I chose to do a solo show because the effects of the work we're talking about, I have a in a former life, I have a background in Montessori education. I am naturally an educator. So for me, you can see that went from the classroom to a parenting column to a blog, to Instagram, to a podcast, to a blog. And the podcast effectively is my blog. So I don't have a co-host. It's just me. It's a solo show. I've had one guest on to one episode when I did like Life Coaching Session. But otherwise it's me because I feel like I have a pretty unique standpoint on emotional health and how to genuinely feel your feelings and how feeling your feelings at their core is what changes the manifestations of all the shit you don't want in your life. You know, we experience something. I really. Oh, can you believe this happen? And I was like, yes, let's trace that back to what is actually happening internally. Heal that and then blammo that so naturally starts to disappear.   [00:19:08] So basically, I'm so arrogant that I'm like, what I have to say is so interesting. I'm just going to deliver this product. In fact, it was a hard fought for.   [00:19:18] I don't think it's arrogance when you've gone through the kind of battles that you fought for. Those are badges, you know. And to think that other people wouldn't glean information from them, I think is largely what's wrong with women across the world. And there's nothing wrong with women across the world. Let me clarify and quantify that's put on my tombstone. What I mean is there are a lot of unification factors that I find with oppressed populations. And when I look at women, I've been studying women, female identified, non binary individuals for the better part of 20 years. And throughout feminist lenses and all different kinds. And the truth is, is that one of the narratives in the threads that is in common with all of us is that even those of us that become successful not speak about those stories, they're not important enough and they're not applicable enough. And so I think to fly in the face of that is so very, very important. But there's still even a small dialog with you. You know, as a joke saying, you know, and I'm arrogant enough, like, no, it should be an end. Women need we need to hear each other's stories. You know, the whole point of this particular podcast for any of you that haven't listened is everyone who says there's two people in this world, ones that say, oh, my God, they're so fantastic. I can't believe you're doing that. And then the others say, what is it for? What are you doing? And it's just the difference of people that understand women. Women identified Banan by individuals. We need to hear each other's stories. It's been completely isolated and cut out of rhetoric from marketing to cinema for so long. We don't understand how deprived our own personal narrative is, not gleaning the stories of any other people like us. And so I love that you've done that. And I. I mean, it sounds so stressful for me. And I love the idea that you've described it as arrogant because the concept of taking your own podcast, which is I love your narrative because it is this I'm the most recent one for anyone who hasn't. Listen, jump on really quickly because she narrates one of the chapters in her books that we'll talk about. But it's you have these moments you have to really design and then get into these specific you've got lessons that you're delivering, you know, and you're coming out with these and they're all between 20 and 40 minutes. And that's a lot of work. It's a lot of dialog. It's a lot of choreography, especially when you need it to be fluid. And so I have to commend you on that level. And to that end, I want to talk about you. You release, give or take, it looks like once every two weeks. And I wanted to talk to you about what made you decide that. And I have to say, before we get into that, as a side note, as a total nerd who loves them on a story program, you Googling things is so much right. The self fed that is Monta or any of you out there. I have four children who all went through the Montessori school and they all like it's a very self led education model. So the fact that everything in you, everything in your life has been this self led model, it does not strike me as odd at all that you're Moniz's.   [00:22:12] But I want to climb into. What? Who.   [00:22:15] How did you decide for your own. Was it a conversation with your personal schedule? Like once every two weeks you release. And how do you develop the choreography of what you're going to talk about? How do you curate that?   [00:22:26] So I am currently a solo printer. Right. Like I'm the queen. I run the show. I have three little girls. For the last entirety of their lives, except the last five months, I have had them in my custody. Eighty percent of the time. With like minimal financial support. So the stuff that I have done in four and a half years with three kids in tow. Frankly, I am clapping for myself because it really is remarkable. And the. That's from a brand. You know, when you're an entrepreneur, you wear so many different caps. Right. Like you were the genius cap where you really shine. Then you got to put on like the CFO cap, which is not as much of a strength area strength for me. And then I've got a strategy hat. And so strategically, I'm also very Dutch and I'm very much a Taurus. So when I put on that strategy cap, it is like is rooted in the earth. And that root tells me what is the intention behind what you're doing? What will this lead you to or what will it return? I'm really very spiritual. So what it leads me to. There are so many options in front of me. Most of those options are. Who knows? But I trust my gut to go for the podcast. I only do it once every two weeks because it is very difficult to turn a profit and to convert with a podcast. I think. And so I have to balance out. And I've looked at sponsorships and like I don't want to do sponsorships online. That, frankly, it seems like it's going to add an additional layer of effort on my behalf. And frankly, I look at what is the content? What what is the intention? Why am I creating this? Who am I serving? What am I doing? And how does it align with my value? That's my feel today. I use online literally every decision of my life, especially in my business. And so for the podcast, I believe it's very important to have the podcast as one of the moving pieces of my business. But there's only so much energy I can give it. If somebody else was footing the bill or if they was really converting a lot of clients back to private clients, it would absolutely be at least once a week, if not more. But right now, it's like I really want to have it, but I'm also keeping my eye on it to make sure what I'm doing is actually worth my time.   [00:24:41] Yeah, and those are really good points. I have to say, I get asked to speak a lot about developing podcasts because I've done so many that I know four years ago that I was a little podcast maven. But and what I quickly surmised and kind of speak to and advise you on is everything that you've spoken of. I think that the most important thing is consistency, tone and rhetoric and authenticity as well as like really having a point. And yours are so polished, like, you know, you kind of just quickly prattled off. But you have this original sound music, you know, to your podcasts and then and these sound quality of them, like everything sounds so amazing. And I think that people need to realize that it's still the Wild West. So I realize that I'm speaking to rules I've made up for my own kingdom. But within that, as far as podcasts go, I think consistency and tone. You know, you can have a change in the podcast, but to go from one week to one kind. And then for another, which another is very jarring. And then there's this idea that, you know, people can just not release or stop or do whatever you some random Thursday. And that seems a little immature as well. You know, and just holding yourself accountable, sponsorship, like you mentioned, is another big one. I myself am not attached to it. But funding is not an issue for me because the majority of my projects are self-funded.   [00:26:00] But as you've mentioned, a lot of people think that it's going to be this cash making machine and sponsorship in partnership or a ton of work. They frequently align you with a brand that may or may not be in sync with your brand.   [00:26:11] There's just a lot of things that decimates my brand. I'm so authentic that if I start talking about paper towels, my brand is dead and like the me-ness of me is dead.   [00:26:24] Yeah. And I like your Yankee. I like that whole concept. I was just seems that Yankee know how and you're in Canada, but either concept of ingenuity and kind of like out of the box off Amazon. And then I met a friend and they wrote the music and that that's really what you can do with podcasting. And I encourage people to get on and listened to Leisses because it is a sense of professionalism that is astounding that you did. I for sure assumed that your publicist with your book had hooked you up with an entire crew. So it's hats off to you. It sounds amazing and I love it. I want to turn now to unpacking and to call myself beloved. A story of hope, healing and coming home. The book it just launched today and everyone who has listened to me before knows that I'm an absolute bookworm. But I haven't read it as it came out today. And I am excited. Excited because this will be what I call an airplane conversation. So if I just met you on an airplane and we and I had you quarantined for an hour and a half next to me, I would be able to ask you all of these questions, hopefully without you getting away or putting on your headphones.   [00:27:21] I just, like, leaned closer because I'm so excited about this.   [00:27:27] Oh, I love it because I don't know anything about it. And so this is very off the cuff, which is my favorite kind of conversation. I'd love research, but I do far too much of it. OK. So I first want to talk about this. My introduction to the book was through whatever we could grab Off-line. And I want to read a quick line that I found to myself that kind of explain to me what the book was about and you can tell me if it's correct or not. So it says, To call myself beloved is informed by lessons learned through navigating the most cataclysmic events of woman's of one woman's life and realizing throughout each one that I am still OK. So we've kind of climbed through some of that. You know what you said earlier and things like that. But that for me, kind of gave me the impetus of what I expected the book to be about. I then listened to the most recent podcast, which is about one chapter of that, and it's called The Myth of Competition. And this actually speaks to a great deal of my heart. And I think a lot of people that listen to this podcast series will identify with it. So I first want you to hear what I would like to hear from you. Before we unpack, I want to talk about the myth of competition and all of the other chapters. But when you were writing it, did you keep your audience in mind or did you just read it for yourself? Because you do have this kind of self-serving platform, which is a plausible. But I want to know if you did keep your audience in mind, who was that audience? And as you were composing it, how did how were you speaking to them? How did it help transform her build the book?   [00:28:54] Well, until very recently, I used to introduce myself as a professional human and real ethical because frankly, that's what I am. My dream has always been to get paid to be me again. I spent so much of my life, arguably the first half of my life denying who I was and proving who I was and hiding who I was.   [00:29:12] That now I'm like, Oh, no. Here I am. It took so much.   [00:29:16] I'm so happy to be this person. I love this person so much. Let me share that. And let me see if what kind of opportunities arise. And the cool thing is, lots of opportunities have arisen from that place of genuine authenticity. So, yes, the book. I absolutely kept my audience in mind because I am also my ideal client. I'm very passionate about the fact that just like we said, if I'm having this feeling and I'm really struggling and I can't even Google the answer, I can't figure it out.   [00:29:49] Oh, man. If I can't figure it out, there about to be thousands, if not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of other women who are struggling this that for some reason don't have the right genetic makeup that compels them to figure it out. So all this stuff I figured out, I went back to school for coaching. I read every book. I did all the things. I saw so many therapists. I ended up creating this incredible healing modality for myself that I started to use of my clients. And I watched how it was affecting my clients lives in this earth. Shatteringly simple way. You know, all of my clients this week, for example, I got on the phone with them and they're like, I am not doing well. It has not been a good week by the end of the conversation. Fifty seven minutes later, they're like, oh, my God, this is a dramatic difference. I feel so much better. I thought I felt stuck. But actually what I see now from talking to you is that I'm not so trapped. I have so many options. So I am my ideal client because those are all pain points that I, I had so close to me. So when I was writing it, it was really important to me, too. Like when it says like somehow I wrote about like, it's just one woman's life. I'm just a woman. Like, I'm just a person living a life as a human on this planet. And I was an episode on my block that's got to be where the female empowerment brand, because when you start to scratch the surface on the female empowerment brand, like you are not going to like what you find in so many that people who are championing themselves as just regular people.   [00:31:23] Are not. So let's take a look there. They're not just regular people, and I feel like I just kind of a regular person living a life.   [00:31:30] And so, again, to write from that place of wealth, here are the three things that ultimately tried to define my life childhood abuse, a really painful divorce, and then this experience with cancer that the treatment for which included chemo, full hair loss and a radical mastectomy. If I remove both of my breasts and what I learned through each of those things was how to heal and not only how to heal from trauma and pain, but how to come home to. So when you read in the space of like, all you have to do is self lollypops. Just love yourself. Just take care of yourself. Just start to prioritize. I'll just set boundaries. My personality is like, yeah, but how? Like tell me how to do that. Nobody is telling me how to do that. They're just creating a listicle. Is that gets great MCO ratings. And so suddenly I was like, well fuck it, I'm going to write this manual on how to do this. So the book is divided and I would call a book like a self love manifesto because it's almost 400 pages and it's literally a compendium of everything and every healing modality, mindset, HAAKE technique that I learned about spotted figures. And it's divided into these three sections, understanding where you've come from, making peace with where you are and then healing forward. And each section opens with one personal essay. So, like, here's a glimpse of what my childhood was actually like. People think because I had such like an engaged Instagram audience, that I must be like very extroverted and very public. I'm insanely private, like I'm an insanely efforts. And so this is a big deal to them actually sharing stories of what it was like in childhood. And then, you know, the second part opens with what does divorce actually feel like? Because if you want to polarize a room real quick, just ask for people's opinions on marriage and divorce, and you will find you'll find basically it's always the woman's fault.   [00:33:22] There a lot of things in the marriage. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And that was it was just so it was so intense.   [00:33:28] Divorce was literally the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. And that includes cancer. It was way harder than cancer. And then just as I was building momentum and doing all the right things and navigating that divorce, a lot of grace and kindness and compassion. I got breast cancer, like I got breast cancer the day my ex-husband got married and I was like I was so ready to give up. I was ready. I was like, I'm out. My life is a Kafka novel. And I've read it. And I don't like how it ends. I'm not gonna be this beetle trapped in my back because that's stupid. I don't know what I'm gonna do. And I came home from one of my appointments. There are many, many, many appointments at the very beginning of cancer. And I was so young and no family history that the treatment was going to be super aggressive. So I came home from one of my appointments. I hadn't picked up my kids from school yet. I was just like once again, once again lying on my living room floor. A different house was one I bought by myself, lying in my living room floor rage, screaming like primal rage. But that anger that you're never, ever allowed to feel, particularly as a woman. Like, I was just rage screaming. And I was screaming out like, how the heck am I going to do this? How am I going to do this? Yeah, I wouldn't you know, it. This little voice came back. Again, and the voice this time was like you were going to make this beautiful. And I remember like stopping and being like, what? And I heard it again. You're gonna make this beautiful. And it was in that moment where I was like, oh, my God. The only expectations I have to meet are the ones I set for myself. So I actually get to defy what anybody else's expectations of are of my cancer experience. And I'm going to make it my own. And I'm going to make it so fucking beautiful. Nobody's gonna know what to do. So from that, it was such a turning point that I realized I'm sure you read The Alchemist by Paulo Pueblo. If you're a reader, that's my favorite book. And I remember going through that process of deliberately making everything about the cancer experience and single parenting. And I was like, this is emotional alchemy. This is taking this dark, painful, really heavy stuff. Allowing enough trust and flow and expertize and intuition to consciously transform it into something beautiful and golden. So to kind of answer the question a very long way. That's the third part of the block. It's full of how you do that. You know, it's very easy to be like if you want to heal and move forward, all you to do is forgive your parents. Do you know what it's like to forgive your parents? Do you know what it's like to forgive an ex-husband who doesn't treat you very well? That's hard. Do you know what it's like to forgive people who you thought you could trust? And then they violated all your trust. So in the book, it's I am so proud of it because it's like. Lots of personal essay, lots of anecdotes. There's so many little funny examples, just like it feels like you're kind of talking to your girlfriend on the couch because it's just kind of a casual conversation. We're intensely practical hands on information that anybody can do, that anybody can just teach themselves how to think. Definitely.   [00:36:40] And as a single mom of three, when I say things like it's lifestyle friendly, you better believe it's lifestyle friendly because, like, ain't nobody got time to get up an extra hour and a half to do a workout and make a great movie and then a bulletproof like, I'm like, no, I can't do that right now. So just tell me, how do I teach myself how to think differently?   [00:36:58] I wrote the tome on it. That's amazing. I love. I'm obsessed with anyone who knows.   [00:37:06] Mayors had the unfortunate experience of hearing me ramble on either in front of a crowd or not. I'm obsessed with action items and utility and and it's because I get lost very easily personally in despair. And, you know, and I look at really, really hard subjects and I don't mind doing that as long as we've got a ladder out what path towards that ladder. And so this this call to to action that you have that, you know, you've insisted on fitting into schedule and things like that is kind of. And it's I'm I'm obsessed with the concept. A lot of books that kind of dove into narrative and things like that. We'll tell you how that particular person kind of came out of it. And frequently it'll be like time passed and things changed and fell in love again or something. And I'm like, this is not a solution, you know, with the dot, dot, dot.   [00:37:55] I what what the hell is happening in the dot, dot, dot that nobody will tell me.   [00:38:00] Yeah, exactly. And so I can't I cannot wait to kind of pull it up and and look at your action items because it sounds like it's it's built that way because that's how you're leading, you know, a lot of your coaching. If you're coming out of fifty seven minutes saying this is a lot better, you know, that does not happen just from saying so my life sucks. You know, it it comes finding solutions out how we can toxify like it was will end.   [00:38:26] Because, you know, I really believe that all of us are soul children and we just, you know, live in bigger houses and drive fancy cars. But I think we all stay kids. And because I have these little girls, my inner child got so neglected as a kid that my inner child was so alive and well because she's fostered in this incredible environment that we've created as a little family, that I didn't want the book to be preachy either.   [00:38:50] So all of those action items I like sometimes if you say homework, people actually do get triggered or really these are activities they get.   [00:38:58] They kind of get put off.   [00:39:00] So I was like, well, listen, I love tacos. If you look at my branding at all, it's a very common thread that weaves itself in I love tacos. When I went to California, eight tacos, like all the way up the coast from California to L.A., but to Seattle.   [00:39:13] Yeah.   [00:39:15] So each of the activities or whatever.   [00:39:17] No, no, no. I was just saying you're right. And I mean, tacos are like more than our air state flag like me very well anyway.   [00:39:26] And so each of be like activities or the action items in the book are called taco activities because everybody likes soccer. And so it like sparks this like Tuckerton. It is so cool.   [00:39:35] Oh, not to forgive my friend, ok. It's like it's so it's very unhealthy because I, it's like I make it a very safe environment for you to trust me.   [00:39:45] And then all of a sudden you're like, oh my God, I'm doing the work and doing the work. And I am really proud of that.   [00:39:51] Absolutely. As well you should be. I think that that's exciting and finding those things. It's interesting you talk about creating a safe haven within, you know, your family, where you're it's it's dancing a fine line. When p when adults you I think you've been the first adult in the past few months has talked about being a child that hasn't irritated me. And I myself felt a little robbed of a childhood, you know, and for it for loving reasons. I came from a beautiful family of six children and it was crazy and dynamic. But my parents definitely did, you know, all that they could. And and I and when people talk about really their childhood, I'm like, oh, so your children hate being them, like, because you get to be the kid in the situation or there's those adults that like, I guess living out their dream. And so their kids are like having to make dinner.   [00:40:35] And I think like what's why are you taking out your problems on the next generation?   [00:40:38] But I like the way that you describe this environment where you're like we all get to kind of feel safe and experience and you're fostering that inner child without, like robbing it of your children, I think is so cool.   [00:40:49] Yeah. And like, my kids and I are not friends. We are not friends. I'm definitely their mother. They are definitely my children. But there it's so Medda because. I am the mother that I didn't get. I am the mother naturally, that I need it. And through my Montessori education, I totally started reparenting myself. And all of this healing is like it's essentially me re mothering myself and against all odds, because, trust me, I heard a lot of negative feedback and a ton of judgment when I when I did get divorced, people were like the worst thing you can do for your kids, you're gonna ruin their lives. And I'm like, well, not like I'm a really good mom. And that's just not that's just natural to who I am with my clients is the same thing. It's a very mothering energy. I'm not going to be like, oh, good. Did you set a goal this week? No. Like, let's be real. Like, what are you actually intending to do? I'm not your hype squad for my kids. I'm like their back them. Right. There's a lot of structure. There's there's this firm ness with a lot of flexibility. But there are these meta moments because we'll be sitting around writing like song parodies, like taking one of the new tillers with songs and making it up. But our cats instead, we're like watching a movie or something. And we all have this moment where it feels like all four of us are systems. Sometimes I'll go take them out for ice cream before dessert.   [00:42:07] First I'll be like, Oh, you do? Don't tell our mom, because there are those moments of like it's so insanely joyful and playful that none of us can believe that I'm your mom. But trust me, there's like so much mutual respect. Everybody is very, very clearly aware of, like, who the mother is.   [00:42:25] It's like it's a beautiful balance. I like the description that you have. You know, I can't wait to kind of unpack it even further in your book, and I feel the same way. I think there's a way to experience such a think, complete companionship with your children, but always remain. I always tell my kids I'm not your friend. So it's not supposed to be fair friendship.   [00:42:45] Frankly, this actually isn't a democracy. So thank you.   [00:42:48] I've heard what you had to say, but ultimately I make you assertion and I don't know what you like. I think, again, this is yes, this is rooted in my own past with the way that I apply emotional alchemy to it is like I was never, ever allowed to be myself or I felt punished and shamed and exiled for being myself. So with my kids I'm like. What do you like? What makes you happy? Let's do that. You want to do dance? OK, cool. Let's explore that. You know, you want to do karate, whatever. Let's explore that, because it's what makes you feel. I have no expectations of my children other than they are showing up as kind, lovely individuals and whatever that means for them. You know, if they're being of service and they're treating other people with respect, that's cool. They each have their own nuances and passion and style of clothing and and interests and hobbies.   [00:43:39] And to me, that individuality, while live, is the purpose of relationships to be completely whole on your own and independent while sharing an interdependent existence. Yeah. Grunting Right. And that is definitely the little environment that we've created in our home is gorgeous.   [00:43:58] That's got to be your next book. I mean, I'm putting it out there. There you go. Well, it's amazing.   [00:44:04] I love it. And I love the dynamic. It's like I said, I'm very sensitive. When things get described, I get like. But that it sounds wonderful. I love the idea of it. I want to climb into one of your chapters because it was narrated. I felt like I read it online and on your podcast, The Myth of Competition, because it really taps into something that we've actually had a lot of conversation on this particular podcast about. This was something I've looked at and a lot of different angles from a lot of different angles through a lot of different lenses in the past. And them if I would be so bold as to quickly just tell you what I heard from it and when listening to the podcast, is that there is this concept that we are all aware of, of women, that we get pitted against each other. And then you unpack it in a more interesting way. I haven't really heard this before, at least not that I can remember reading this kind of angle, but you get into the perception of what competition is. And Dina. And the takeaway for me was there will always be someone better and worse than you. So competition truly doesn't exist and it doesn't foster you in the way that you think it will. It delineates you from your society, from your fellow sisterhood. It can you know, it can actually slow things down. And it actually removes you from the goal that you're probably headed towards in the competition like circus anyway. And so I wanted to kind of talk about how you came to this chapter. Like, it's such a pivotal, crucial thing. It feels like the conversation, even as I tried to make it simple, is still so complex and dynamic per individual. How did you come to writing about this and what kind of made you come to the realizations you came to with it?   [00:45:36] So I have been basically single for about five years. Like, I've dated a couple of people since. Since my marriage ended. But ultimately, I've been single for five years. And while that has been a massive pain point for me over the past few years, because, like, oh, my God, I didn't think I was ever going to be single, like I.   [00:45:52] Where is this football player I've been dreaming about what five years is talking to? It has done.   [00:45:59] It has enabled me not only to be with my family and create a business and all the rest of it go through cancer. It has enabled me to use my thoughts. So I think about this stuff all the time. But because I spend a lot of time in solitude, it actually allows me to kind of tap into the cultural knowledge of what we're experiencing or what we're being told. I have a love hate relationship with Instagram because that's how I created my business. But also, there's so much bullshit on Instagram. Like, it pains me to watch it happen. And so for me, it's like when you start to strip it back and you strip it back and you strip it back. We are a we are animals. We are social animals at that. And so we are naturally inclined to always look to the group to see that what we're to see if what we're doing is in line with what everybody else is doing, because that means we're being accepted or we're not. And if we're accepted. Cool. You get to live. And if you're not accepted. Oh, you're dead. And so I to ignore competition is so stupid to me. It's like, wait a second. We're kind of wired in our DNA to have this litmus test of, like, is what I'm doing. OK. OK. So that's part of us. But the other part of us has to zoom out and realize, yes, we're social animals, but we've also really evolved as a species. So while we are looking out to make sure we're surviving, we actually have to look in and see what am I doing, why am I doing it? And like, what's the whole purpose behind this? If you spend your time looking at what everybody else is doing, you're only witnessing a moment in time. Right. And, you know, like, success is a long game. You can't you can't measure yourself. You can't measure your words and your progress by anybody else's standards other than your own. Because we're all just comparing weird moments in time and that each of us is walking this individual path. Why the hell would I look at anybody else's path, see where they are and why would I internalize that to make that like a metric of my success as my own? So if you understand that, like. Success as my own in this moment and that moment is like a series of moments over a long period of time. There's always gonna be somebody who's doing way worse than I am. And there's always going to be somebody who's way far ahead of me.   [00:48:18] So to me, it seems pretty stupid to do any of that.   [00:48:22] And instead take all that energy and all that focus and be like, OK. Was this my best? No, it wasn't. OK. Then how could I have done that better? Or what would I tweak to make that smoother? Or is this my best? You know what? Given what I had at the time, the resources that I had, this is my best. Look, I'm going to stand confidently in that. And it's so freeing. Just to be at peace with who you are and what you're doing that I really wanted to frame it for people as like competition. Isn't this you really only have to be to value what you're doing and why?   [00:48:56] Yeah, and I love it because it unpacks it. I think a lot of people have different terminology. You know, people who have a really positive relationship with competition don't actually mean the same thing by that word. As someone who has a negative relationship is where I get very into people like defining their terms. Yes. Least this chapter seems to really define the way that you have started to look at and use these words moved beyond them. And I think that that is so crucial. You know, when you're having particularly self dialog, you really need to ask yourself what you mean by those words. And if you're comparing yourself with somebody else, what they mean by those words and if they give you they haven't defined themselves. You can't possibly believe that you're speaking about the same thing.   [00:49:34] Well, then the second part of that chapter is like, I been controversial.   [00:49:40] But the second part of that chapter is that like collaboration over competition. Is like even more of a myth. And I would argue is rooted in such patriarchal roots that it just it makes me want to vomit because I feel like living in this Instagram generation is Instagram culture that we are told over and over again like, don't worry, girls, that we know we put you against each other for so long. But now all you do is collaborate. And then you don't have to feel, though, that bitter pain of rejection from somebody doing better you better than you.   [00:50:10] And to me, I am like I don't even have a good analogy for it. I feel like I'm like a mere cat looking up, being like, is anybody else hearing this shit? They show me a room full of men.   [00:50:22] Show me a fuckin cafe table with two men where they're being told that, OK, boys, you just need to collaborate instead of compete. No, it doesn't exist. That that's not a thing. And it's like, OK. So if that conversation is now a movement for women to champion collaboration over competition, what I hear is playing nice girls. We don't want you to Slainte nobody's feelings to get hurt. You really can't handle it. So why don't you just work together? And I'm like giving middle fingers all over the place. And like, if you want to collaborate for your brand because it's good for your brand or it's good for your soul.   [00:50:57] I work with people sometimes because I love working with them and it's so fun. I don't care what the outcome is. I just want to be in that energy. That's a fucking awesome collaboration. But if something isn't good for my brand, just because I think somebody else might do it better than me. Does that mean I'm gonna then work with her to get ahead? It's like it's so condescending and it's so misogynistic that I like a want bar. Right. I'd like to see it on.   [00:51:26] Well, and it's wrapped in this beautiful you know, it's wrapped in this message of like women lifting up women. You know, that's bullshit. Drag and all of that. And I think that you're right in saying that one must now collaborate. It's just silly as saying one must compete in. And eventually exclusive. Yeah. And they've taken, you know, a word that didn't used to mean, you know, your week and then called it week like collaboration used to be how NASA was built. It wasn't how, you know, we have the population that couldn't get ahead because of, you know, hundreds of years of misogynistic implementation at micro levels, you know. Oh, it's crazy. I want to turn I could talk all day.   [00:52:07] I could have you unpack every chapter, read it, and we'll do just that, too.   [00:52:14] I love asking coaches and people who have done so much self dialog and then turned into, you know, advisers and and mentors of that nature.   [00:52:24] I am obsessed with how you look at goals yourself. So I want to first know as a business person. Do you have one to three your goals for your business endeavors? And second of all, do you use the same structure in which you advise your client tell when it comes to looking at the future or goals or whatever terminology you want to supplement if you hate the word goals.   [00:52:44] Yeah. So I think for me, interestingly, like today's book launch day for me. Right. And I, I had ordered a bunch of copies in advance for pre sale and they arrived a few days ago. And so the from the time they arrived to today has been such an emotional time because you're confronted with it. And I read about this in the book, like the failure, the fear of getting what you want. Suddenly it's like, oh, my God, I've been focused on writing a book, even if on the back burner on my periphery. I've been focused on writing a book for four years. I did it. It's in the world. Last time I checked, it's like number three already arms in self esteem. Like I think it's going to be a bestselling book now to go back into it.   [00:53:27] And at first that, you know, the roller coaster of emotion is like, oh, my God, what do I do now? And the flip side is like, oh, my God, what do I do now?   [00:53:37] So for me, the next one to three years are so interesting because today was the pinnacle of what my goal was, was like. Right. I look today I'm like, I did it. Oh, my God, I did it. Like I created this brand. I started hiring people to run Facebook ads and build online course or build the ads to promote the online courses. You can work with me privately. I have a Quantcast I have a book I do speaking as soon as I can get back on a stage. It's like. Oh, my God. What is next for me? And so I don't know what that looks like. Really, what it feels like is more freedom, more thought leadership. I feel like all this self dialog, all of this work. All this granular attention to the emotional experience we're having. I really feel like my purpose on this earth is to change the global conversation on emotional health and self-love. And to me and this answers the second part of your question as to how I support clients with their goals. I'm so intention based. And, you know, the spirituality component ties them because I know what I want this to feel like. I know what I want how I want to honor my family. I know the level of financial freedom that feels really good for me. I know how I want to be of service to not only my local community, but my global community. And if I'm really clear on that intention, which I am, and if if that intentional why and so beautifully with my values, which it does. Then I almost don't really care what happens next, because I know it's good thought, leadership to me is always possible on my radar. I'm going to be on this TV show. We're shooting it in October. And it's called the Social Movement. It's getting like 60 people together. We're divided by expertize and we're given four days to solve a major problem like education, pendent, how to stop a pandemic. And then we pitch those ideas to a team of investors. So part of me is like, oh, man, what if I get, like, my own Netflix docu series to come out of that or wouldn't wouldn't it be cool? I get on my own Amazon mini series that's just sharing what I know about the emotional experience. I don't know, but I know that it's gonna be so fun.   [00:55:56] It's going to be like lots of work and also lots of fun.   [00:55:59] It sounds like it. I love that and I love that. You know, it came and you had a very clear thought that was just also based out of intention like that faith and knowing what that framework for yourself and understanding that, you know, you could move forward out of that confidence and grace. I think that's everyone's goal is to feel like, you know, that regardless of how clear their goals are, they will be obtainable because they've developed this platform. Well, I wanted. We've got like a few minutes left. And I want to finally climb into my last question, which everyone knows I ask on this particular series, and I'm excited to find out what yours is going to be, your answer. But so if you were walking tomorrow outside of Toronto on your beautiful lake community at a safe social distance and someone ran up to you and it was a woman or a woman identified or non binary individual, they said, listen, I am so good, least I found you. We have someone in common. They've told me to come and talk to you. I have undergone this, you know, like this litany of personal difficulty and triumph from that. And I'm getting ready to kind of pull myself up and pivot and start this huge empire for myself. And it's going to be based on all of my knowledge and all of my findings. What are the top three pieces of advice you would give that individual? Knowing what you know today?   [00:57:19] That's a powerful question. I think it would be. Trust yourself.   [00:57:26] Don't pay more attention to what you have to say than what anybody else has to say, and I appreciate that. It is a long game, and just because it's a long game doesn't mean that you're failing. It just. Sometimes things take more time than you think. And if you can keep yourself present and really, really be in the process without focusing so much on the end goal.   [00:57:55] Beautiful. So I've got trust herself. Appreciate that it's a long game. And stay in the process. Stay present. That's great. All of those, you know, speaking to self-knowledge and then endurance and looking at like the true livelihood of everyone's struggle. And then obviously staying present, which I think a lot of your advice does. I am so thankful for you speaking with us today. It's been such a pleasure for me. And we're out of time. But I just wanted to say I really appreciate your candor. I know that your empire is developed on it, but I feel like you stay present with that. It's very easy. I think when you write as much as you do when you podcast's and things like that to fall into these like very Klip things that we say over and over again.   [00:58:39] But I listen to a lot of information on you online before we spoke. And I've never heard anything that you've given me today. So I just want to say thank you for that. It's it's really appreciated. Your authenticity is amazing.   [00:58:50] Thank you. And what an opportunity to be here. I wish we weren't coast-to-coast because like I want to go for tacos with you or like go get coffee right now. What an amazing opportunity to be here and share the space from across the world.   [00:59:03] Absolutely. And that will happen one day. We are absolutely getting tacos. Soul Sisters, for sure and for certain.   [00:59:12] But yes, I appreciate it. And for everyone listening. Thank you so much for giving us your time. I do appreciate all of you.

We’re living in an unpredictable and unprecedented time—in the midst of a global pandemic. No one knows what to think, or what to feel, or what to do. But we can navigate these uncharted waters by managing our mindset. To help us do so, I’ve invited mindset coach, Leisse Wilcox to the program. Leisse and I discuss:How to make radical shifts in your mindset and life—even during these chaotic times!Why we need to “feel it” to “heal it.”Challenges and the opportunities they hold!Why our mind wants us to stay negative—and how to tackle this.The power of “zooming out.”How anxiety and depression serve to protect us (despite the fact they’re undesirable).Masculine and feminine energy as they relate to sheltering in place.Tangible strategies for saving your marriage during this time—should it need saving.Bonus content: How to talk to our kids about the pandemic (wisdom from a former Montessori teacherLeisse puts it this way, “Whenever you feel you don’t have control of anything, remind yourself, ‘I actually always have control of one thing and one thing alone, how I’m choosing to respond.’” Join us to take charge of your mindset, which takes charge of everything else!

The COVID-19 pandemic has rattled many of us as we struggle to adapt to a fast-changing world. For Leisse Wilcox, there is familiarity amid the uncertainty.

In this episode Leisse breaks down what it really feels like to go through a divorce.  She shared with us how her divorce was the most difficult thing she has ever been through, even more difficult than her battle with breast cancer.  IG: https://www.instagram.com/leissewilcox/ Website: https://leissewilcox.ca/ Coaching link:https://mailchi.mp/1f289269826d/groupcoachingwithleissewilcox  

This Episode is the first of a very special series of episodes featuring our wonderful panel of speakers at our upcoming Boss Mama Retreat. For more information about how to join us in person for a beautiful day filled with joy and inspiration, check us out here.   Leisse Wilcox is a professional human and real-life adult who helps women find clarity in what they want, confidence in who they are, and the courage to stay true to both. A passionate speaker, writer, coach, podcast host, taco enthusiast, and mom of three, her entire experience has been about coming home to her truest self, and to call herself “beloved.” Through lots of life lessons learned, Leisse taught herself to turn difficult and ugly into something purposeful and beautiful, using a process she calls “Emotional Alchemy.” Leisse genuinely believes that changing the world starts by making the changes we want to see within ourselves, first. When we find true clarity, confidence, and courage, we start a ripple effect that makes huge waves in the world around us. Leisse's work is centred on giving people permission to be their authentic selves. There are so many stories that are told about us that we internalize. There are so many things that can happen to a person that could tank their identity. We choose to carry the burdens of other experiences and transmuting them into something that is truly and uniquely our own. For Leisse, her battle with breast cancer and subsequent double mastectomy and chemo treatment was the spark that lit her drive to change the negative into the positive. Looking back at the trauma from her life, she took a simple mindset shift and made those ugly uncomfortable experiences have better meaning and purpose in her life. We need to take the negative experiences and turn them into the positive in our lives. We cannot control the experiences, but we can control how much power we give them in our lives. We can feel the ugly, hard feelings, but we don't have to live there. By naming your feelings you don't have to feel isolated and burdened by them. You are giving yourself permission to sit in the feelings, it shifts you back into the driver's seat and you can control the path the feelings take you. When you examine the triggers and your current state, you can direct where the feelings take you. We are constantly bombarded with messaging that we are not enough. We are marketed towards not being enough, not having enough. Our loved ones can reverberate the message that we are not doing enough. We are surrounded by negative. They have their own perception of us and we carry these heavy messages. When our brain identifies with truth, it clings to that truth and does what it can to remain in the known truth. We begin to attract the negative to keep us in the truth we believe when we believe in the negative. But when we choose to change our truth, we start to consciously attract the things we want to be surrounded with. As a parent, when we reflect on our own negative experiences we start to see the patterns of the issues we had in childhood. By identifying and being conscious of how we thought about growing up, we can reflect on the attitudes we want our children to reflect. When we support their voices and autonomy, we give them the identity they need to own their own truth, and strength and emotional maturity needed to protect their truth. Children want to be seen and heard, and they want permission to be themselves without the fear of rejection or isolation. These are universal traits of the human experience. Our children want the same thing we do as adults. It is important to slow down and let our children direct their own lives. Our kids don't have to be how we want them to be, as long as they can belong to the group in a compassionate, kind way. Our job is to teach them how to act in those ways.

She is a self proclaimed professional human, real life adult, promoting clarity, confidence, courage, and self-love.

Leisse is a powerhouse, encourager of women, podcast host, and our newest best friend. This is an episode you cannot miss.

Oh yes, you read that title right. I know what you're thinking - "Leisse, aren't YOU a female empowerment brand? Isn't this kind of the dumbest move you could make?" Yes, I am sure am, in the most genuine of ways. And while I did delay sharing this episode by three weeks, because of my own fears of releasing this level of truth into the world, I stand behind it as coming from an honest, informed place. Here's the hard truth: while there are many, MANY female empowerment brands and thought leaders showing up in our online and IRL worlds, there are many others who have figured out a way to juke the system, sell us a dream that isn't really attainable - or even HEALTHY - and do so while capitalizing on the fears and insecurities of the audience they claim to serve. And I am over it. Join me today as I shed some light on the buyer beware nature on the content you're consuming, and why not all "female empowerment brands" are created equal. Talk is cheap, sunshine, and authenticity - not the "TM" kind - is what gets you to the heart of hearts. Enjoy, and if you haven't already, check out YES, YOU FUCKING CAN, the group coaching program I'm launching now for a January start - that adheres to alllll of the principles I lay out in this podcast. Warmly, LW  

Leisse Wilcox is a force of nature, but in the most calming, loving way possible. She is a self-described emotional alchemist, coach, and professional human. In this episode we dive in to how the concept of emotional alchemy has helped her, as well as her clients. We chat about finding yourself again in the midst of working mom life, when your identity can get wrapped up in who you are at work and at home. Humans are ever-evolving, and Leisse helps clarify how these feelings of stress, anxiety, or even just melancholy and "meh" are just phases of life and we can move through them. This conversation goes deep and it goes down a few rabbit holes. Leisse is so incredible that I wanted to ask her ALL the things, and I did.

Have you ever felt like you were asleep in your own life? You’re definitely not alone! Writer and mindset coach, Leisse Wilcox, describes the powerful—and admittedly, painful—process of realizing she was asleep in what appeared to be a picture perfect life. In this second part of my conversation with Leisse, she shares mindset shifts to help us wake up and fully revel in our authenticity, no matter what we’re going through—even, as is the case in Leisse’s life, in the midst of divorce and cancer treatments. We also cover:● Why focusing on ourselves isn’t at all selfish.● The defining moment when Leisse realized she was living a lie.● Messages we tell ourselves that allow us to stay asleep in our own lives.● How the confirmation bias kept Leisse in an unhappy marriage—and may be keeping you stuck in ways you don’t even realize!● The relationship between authenticity and anxiety. ●How Leisse “takes charge” of chemotherapy treatments to make them as beautiful as she possibly can.● What’s often behind our “people pleasing.”Leisse concludes our conversation sharing a quote from Brené Brown which helped her finally disentangle shame and pain. Join us to discuss all this and much more!Music:Great Days by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/5lhZRunuJTs

“Just be yourself!” It should be so easy, but for most of us, the quest for authenticity proves an ongoing struggle. Mindset coach Leisse Wilcox joins me to delve into vulnerability, pain, and finding our true self. Leisse shares how the agony of her divorce led to her become “unapologetically clear” regarding who she is and what she’s about. We discuss the challenges we all face when pursuing authenticity—including insensitive comments from others and what these responses actually mean. Leisse discusses how her background in child development not only helped her explain her divorce to her three young daughters, but also helped her process the experience herself. We wrap up part one of our conversation with an authenticity mantra courtesy of Sex and the City’s Charlotte York Goldenblatt!

“Leisse Wilcox is a mindset coach and writer from a tiny beachfront town east of Toronto. A mom of three little girls, her passion is working with women to help them dig deep, get clear and confident with who they really are, and help them find, express, and use their voice for good, in a lifestyle-friendly way. Using her uniquely grounded and peacefully honest perspective, she has spoken, been published, and consulted internationally on subjects ranging from self-love, parenting, healing old wounds and creating new behaviour patterns, and social media brand strategy and authenticity.When not engaged with clients or kids, Leisse can be found stargazing, dreaming about an A-frame cabin in the woods, or anywhere the tacos are.”We talk all about Leisse's work. One thing we talk about a lot is, as Leisse puts it, “the paradox of positivity”.Featuring:“Positivity Does Not Mean You Get to Tune Out Your Shit” By Leisse Wilcox“How to Escape and Prevent Toxic Communities” By Lyss EnglandFeatured Tunes:Lovin' You Baby by Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band11:11 By ArkellsGood Lover by Donovan WoodsMake It Happen by John Splithoff
