Doin' It Scared Podcast with Lea Coultas

What a joy it was to chat with Kayleigh, owner of local cleaning company Maid to Sparkle. Her honesty & ability to be so real & authentic - you can't help but fall in love with her.

She shares how it felt to get on the Shift Stage, how she went from being the most outgoing child to suddenly the most quiet & insecure.

Creating her own business from the branding to actually running it essentially on her own (with the support of family & her loving husband who is her biggest cheerleader). Her story is so inspiring & RELATABLE!

Kayleigh also has a wonderful initiative she has created - The 7th annual MARGARET’S SANTA TO A SENIOR EVENT!!

This is to help seniors living in our community who are low-income and might otherwise be alone at Christmas. To allow them to wake up Christmas morning with a smile on their face, presents under their tree, and more importantly — a feeling of love and connection. This year she is teaming up with Connections for Seniors & SeniorsNL where they will donate care packages that will include both essentials and prizes, spreading joy and magic to their seniors in need. As always, they will be looking for help from the community of PHYSICAL donations from the list below.

-OR- they also accept MONETARY donations from individuals and businesses that can be forwarded to [email protected] (Please be sure to put STS in the note section) THE DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 13th!

Our number of seniors has already almost reached 80 this year. Please message us for drop off locations!

In this episode, I'm grateful to interview my father, Dave Coultas, who has reinvented himself more than once. At age 66, my dad continues to push the boundaries and comfort zones in his life. He recently embarked on a move to Paraguay, where he has had to learn a new language, make new friends, and adjust to this new way of living while navigating his relationships back home. He thrives on taking care of himself. A yogi, a gym rat, a cold shower advocate - we can learn a lot from him & his passion to keep moving.

My dad inspires me every day to push myself and live a life of authenticity. Even though hard at times, I do believe that these decisions have made our relationship stronger.

I hope this episode inspires those that may feel a little stuck or like it's too late to start something new.

In this episode, I talk to Rebecca about her life & all the experiences that led her here to this moment: Opening up a new space, writing 2 childrens books, travelling solo to fulfill her love of experiencing live music, all on the heels of a 15 year career as a massage therapist.

And of course, doing it scared every step of the way.

In this episode, Jess shares with us her journey from a corporate 9-5, to building a life in Barbados, following her intuition, moving back to her home in Nova Scotia, and committing to a year of confidence - what did that look like?

This episode is everything you need and more to light a fire inside you & get you motivated to take action in your life.

In this episode, I sit down with Gina Keeping & Emily King: creators of a local personal development event called SHIFT. And it's getting a lot of buzz due to their infectious personalities & the community that are gravitating towards these events.

They tell us everything from how the idea was born to how they put it into action in just a short period of time. We go deep on the hard behind the scenes stuff that is so important to hear, and how much they've grown since putting off 2 of these events now and soon to be a 3rd.

The 3rd SHIFT Event is happening on Saturday, Sept. 28 at The Delta Hotel. It's an all-day event. You can come for the day or extend your pass into the evening and be a part of the VIP Event.

And ME your Host Lea Coultas at ⁠The Elevated Experience

In this episode, I get pretty personal about my wellness journey over the last 10 years and discuss what I've been feeling during the previous 6 weeks while on hiatus with the podcast.

I talk a lot about "learning through doing" & even what I've learned through not doing and how inaction also teaches me a lot about myself.

I reference the Arkhe Collective here as well as my 90's Movement Collab happening on July 31st.

In this episode, I share some personal experiences I've had in the last month where I've put myself out there & what the outcome has been. Continuing to push through fear each & every day and what I'm learning about myself through that process.
