What happens when you realize the life you’ve worked so hard to build doesn’t actually feel like yours? In this episode, Jess talks with Leah Brathwaite—soul advisor, founder of The Live Free Lifestyle, and author of A New Way of Life: A Guide for Transformation From Living a Lie to Freeing Your Soul—about the courage it takes to stop performing, start listening, and build a life rooted in truth.

Leah shares the moment everything shifted—a quiet afternoon in her dream kitchen, a voice that said “not for another second,” and the unraveling that followed. From leaving a marriage, religion, and career that looked perfect on paper, to slowly learning how to trust her intuition, Leah’s story is about reclaiming your power and remembering who you are beneath all the expectations.

In this episode Jess and Leah discuss:

• The subtle ways we abandon ourselves—and how to come back
• How to rebuild your identity after leaving behind the roles you’ve outgrown
• Why following your curiosity is the first step to living freely
• Learning to tell the difference between fear, anxiety, and true intuition
• What it really looks like to choose yourself after a major life transition
• The clarity that can only come from spending time alone
• How Leah built a soul-led business after walking away from the “safe” path

Leah also shares how her journey inspired The Live Free Lifestyle—a transformational coaching experience designed to help others reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel aligned from the inside out.

If you’ve been questioning your path, feeling disconnected, or longing for something more—this one’s for you.
