Being A Stand For Your Declared Future: A Case Study

Uncategorized

When Ryan and I came back to New England, he was craving a purpose.After receiving “no” after “no” from corporate wellness positions due to COVID, he felt stuck. To get the ball rolling, he took a different route—he decided to call around the local area and pretty quickly, landed a full-time job that he was overqualified for. Receiving this easy and effortless YES felt like a sign, so he got to work. Three weeks in, however, he knew it wasn’t where he wanted to be. The job was taking time and energy away from a project he really wanted to be working on—writing his book. He wanted to quit, but...

Love in the Time of Corona: A COVID Love Story

a covid love story

What happens when two virtual strangers move down to Mexico together during a worldwide pandemic? This is mine and Ryan’s COVID love story. ♡ “I’m sorry, but I don’t choose you as my person.” Ryan’s face fell from across the table. It was Saturday night—the night before we were separating while his family came to visit. After dating for a few weeks, Ryan was curious to know where my feelings were. From the start, he had been like a laser. He knew what he wanted. He knew I was who he wanted. I’ll never forget when he asked me out on our first date. He said, “you are everything I...

When You’re Not Getting What You Want…

not getting what you want; bacalar lagoon

I thought relocating to Tulum would create exponential growth in my business. Turns out, I was wrong. The truth is: I’ve received “no” after “no” from potential clients since being here, and it’s been disheartening to say the least. It’s frustrating when you’re putting in the work and still not getting what you want. Last Thursday, I had the chance to be coached by one of my mentors and I brought this challenge to her. What I discovered was quite intriguing… When we explored what has been behind the “no’s” from potential clients, I realized that many of the people I’ve been in conversation with are not crystal clear on...

The Power of Choosing

Travel

July was a slow month.  Time crawled and blurred together. Day after day looked the same—wake up, work out, work, watch Netflix.  The ruts of routine grew deep and I forgot the feeling of being alive.  When this happens; when I fall into a rabbit hole of living a life less than what my heart deeply desires, my emotions spin out of control.  I become a twister of confusion and exhaustion until I make something different occur.  In a particularly sullen session with my Coach, she pulled this out of me—my own internal alarm system that screams: “WAKE UP! It’s time to course correct!”  …“But Leighann, I can’t do what...

Create A New Reality With This Witchy New Years Ritual

witchy new years ritual

So I have this witchy new years ritual 🔮 Every year on new year’s eve and day, I have experiences that will help me expand into, embody, and amplify the feelings and vibes I want to experience in the year ahead. For example, when ringing in 2017, my previous partner and I rented a hotel room that overlooked the city of Boston and booked a reservation at one of the finest steakhouses in the area. When we got back to our hotel room that night, we caught the last bit of fireworks over the Boston harbor. *Swoon* Talk about finery, luxury, and sweet surprise. That was the year I was...

Do This One Thing And Your Life WILL Change

When I was in fifth grade, I decided to play the flute. The first “composures” I learned were not composures at all. Rather, they were half notes and whole notes, sometimes strung together to form a tune.  Next, it was the scales. Oh god—the scales.  As I grew into middle school and private lessons, it was all about the scales. Up and down, my fingers flew. Memorizing this one and that one and this one again.  In sixth grade, I advanced to second chair and soon after that, I passed an audition to play in the Worcester Youth Orchestra, practicing Tchaikovsky and Bach for the stage at Christmas.  In seventh...

What Are You Committed To?

Here’s what I’m committed to right now: Waking up by 7:30am.Meditating.Journaling on possibility. Starting work by 9:30am.Writing.Sharing my writing.Inviting all kinds of people to connect.Inviting people who inspire me into coaching conversations.Inviting people I vibe with to work with me.Astonishing my Clients. Doing my own inner work. Going to the gym. Tracking money.Paying for things in cash. Reading.Going to bed by 11pm. Notice: Everything on this list—it’s inside of my control. Too often, we attach our sense of accomplishment to results we have no control over. Then, when the results do not occur, we feel we failed and hopelessness replaces happiness, worthlessness shatters confidence, and fun fades to frustration. We...

The Best Two Investments to Fill Your Coaching Practice

Uncategorized

Last month, I accomplished something BIG. And I didn’t share it. I intended to. Especially when it happened; when I was bursting at the seams with excitement. But then, like it tends to, the thrill of accomplishment faded and I had nothing left to fuel my words. I was also scared to share a win that might make you feel uncomfortable. But now, I want to share it {PROUDLY} because if I can do it, so can you. Last month, I officially filled my coaching practice! I booked an additional $22K in services in three weeks {a record for me} and I’ve had to start a waiting list! I’ve been...

The Trap of Either/Or

Uncategorized

Is it just me or does having to choose between one thing you really want {or the other} SUCK?! …Why can’t you have BOTH? Why can’t you travel AND invest with a high-level Coach? Why can’t you crush it at work AND have a thriving relationship? Why can’t you make money AND be happy?  The concept of BOTH is fairly radical for most people. “WAIT: You mean, I can have my cake and eat it too?” YES! The ceiling for possibility is endless when you’re willing to use your imagination and get creative. What stops us humans from seeing the possibility for BOTH is fear and judgment. It’s born from...
