In this episode, Leslie welcomes Christian de la Huerta — transformational coach, award-winning author, and TEDx speaker — for a powerful conversation on love, power, and the spiritual evolution of relationships.

With over 30 years of experience guiding individuals and couples toward deeper fulfillment, Christian has dedicated his life to helping people break free from internal barriers to love and awaken their authentic power. His latest book, Conscious Love: Transforming Our Relationship to Relationships, invites readers to reimagine love as a spiritual practice — one that dissolves unhealthy dynamics and opens the door to connection, courage, and grace.

Together, Leslie and Christian explore:

• What it really means to practice conscious love in modern relationships
• How to reclaim personal power without control or manipulation
• The spiritual lessons hidden inside heartbreak and conflict
• Why authentic self-expression is the foundation of intimacy
• How awakening your soul’s power transforms not only your relationships, but your entire life

Whether you’re single, partnered, or in the process of healing, this conversation will leave you inspired to see love as the most sacred teacher of all.
