We talked about so much! Les is amazing but we really put our focus in this episode on our own experiences as black women in the wellness space, learning about discomfort ( the good and bad) and talking about what does safety in spirituality look like for us? For you?  

MEET LES

Founder and Host,
Balanced Black Girl

"At the age of 20, I began my personal wellness journey in hopes of finding inspiration and energy while working my first corporate job (let’s just say it wasn’t a good fit). In a desperate attempt to stop falling asleep at my desk, I tried to introduce some radical concepts (for me at the time): getting up to walk a little more, actually drinking water, and learning to cook my own food. Before I knew it, I started having more energy, was building strength, had more mental clarity, and was becoming more confident than I had been before. Thus, my love of wellness was born and I wanted to share it.

I started my career in fitness as a personal trainer and fitness instructor in 2012, and launched my first blog The Balanced Berry in 2014 to share my love of fitness and nutrition with others. As a personal trainer and nutrition coach, I spent over five years helping women reach their wellness goals in a balanced, sustainable way.

After taking some time off from fitness in 2018, I pivoted to create Balanced Black Girl to introduce my community to Black and brown women experts in health and wellness and create a comfortable place for accessible wellness conversations and connections. Now as a 200-hr YT, I lead wellness conversations and create mindfulness-focused content to help us all find our balance."
