E57 Ballsy, Vulnerable, and Funny as Hell, Leigh Koechner

Whether you are finding your gift, owning your sh*t or gracing yourself with mindfulness, you will benefit from this conversation with Leigh Koechner. Leigh is a speaker, parenting expert and a spiritual teacher with a Masters in Spiritual Psychology and is committed to being of service by shining her Light and sharing her story. Leigh inspires others by being unapologetically who she is – she has been described as being ballsy, vulnerable, and funny as hell – and yes, she tells you to own your sh*t! Leigh relates her journey growing up in a family of 6 children with a mother who was mentally ill and unavailable to her. She explains that when she was a child, she thought she wasn’t even worth her mom’s attention. But she has learned through her life journey to let go of that disempowering belief and use her story to powerfully impact the world, teaching others the power of being connected to your authentic self.

Show On The Go

This pitch reel is for a show I pitched called, Show On The Go. It’s has a mom intervention theme, but Show On The Go could be used to connect with everyone. (I still love this idea!)

I used really want my own talk show. I knew one day this would come true. I now know that I am living my show. My life show is all about spreading love. I heard the saying, “Stop waiting for someone to choose you. You choose you.”  I love this.  We can do what we want when we want, without permission from anybody else.  Start doing what you love. Live it and give it.  Push start on the life you dream of having. It is our time baby!

Practicing Spanish

I believe there is no such thing as a mundane moment. Watch how, in our every day routines, to find new possibilities. This day I practiced my high school Spanish that was inspired by Will Ferrell’s movie Casa De MI Padre.

Fake Laughing Is Good For You!

Laughing releases endorphins, or 'feel good hormones,' in brain regions linked to emotion and arousal. Laughing improves our psychological and physical health and promotes social bonding. It also relieves pain and increases feelings of togetherness.  Fake laughing releases the same endorphins and if you do it with someone else, the fake laughing turns into real laughing.  Fake laugh all the way to good health!
