In this episode, Leslie shares the tension she has been sitting with as she continues building her coaching business, her podcast, the Gatherings, and the work she feels called to do, while still holding onto the legal work that provides dependable income, predictability, and stability. Through her own experience of living in beautiful Playa del Carmen while realizing that many of her days still happen from the same chair, in front of the same screen, Leslie opens up about the quiet ache of creating a life that supports you, only to realize it may no longer leave enough room for you to fully live it. This conversation explores what happens when there is no obvious villain, no dramatic collapse, and nothing you can point to as proof that something has to change. Just the honest recognition that what once worked may have done its job, and the life you want now may be asking for something different. If you have ever known what you wanted and still found yourself hesitating because the safe choice still mattered, this conversation will help you stop turning the pause into evidence against yourself. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.
