She Wears the Pants

Feeling Strong and Nourished While Scaling Big Dreams with Leah Van Dolder


Listen Later

Your body is not a side project. It’s the infrastructure of your next level.

In this episode of She Wears the Pants, Ashley Deland is joined by Leah Van Dolder, award-winning dietitian, transformation coach, and top 10% podcast host. Together, they unpack what it really takes for a high-growth woman to feel strong, nourished, and deeply connected to her body while she builds a business that matches her calling.

If you’re a woman who refuses to choose between ambition and well-being, this conversation will help you reclaim your energy as a leadership advantage - not a cost of success.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

  1. Shift from toxic diet culture into sustainable nourishment that supports your goals
  2. Reframe movement as self-leadership, not punishment — and build consistency without burnout
  3. Apply Leah’s SHINE framework to strengthen habits that protect your energy and confidence
  4. Anchor your identity and faith through fear, pressure, and uncertainty so you don’t abandon yourself in the process
  5. Lead your life and business with standards that honor both your calling and your body

By the end, you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to support your energy, strengthen your self-trust, and build success that actually feels good on the inside.
