We know being fully present with our kids and ignoring our homes are good in theory, but not in practice. Sure we may have a great heart-to-heart with our pre-teen, but the stack of dishes and laundry keep taunting you because they must get done too. 

In today’s episode, I am talking about my personal journey with creating a support system within my home to enhance my focus. It’s not been easy, but it’s changed my connection with each of my kids and helped me scale my business exponentially. 

If you’ve convinced yourself that outsourcing any of your household responsibilities is impossible for you, this podcast is for you!

I list all of the variety of services and roles you could hire ranging from free to monthly retainers. And, if this has been a heated topic in your home between you and your spouse, I will give you examples of how you can ease your way into this conversation.

I'm back from a time away. Alone and in silence.  Hands down, I will continue to make time to get away to silence and solitude for the rest of my life.

I was first introduced to this concept by Alan Fadling, author of The Unhurried Leader. As a Christian I was well aware of the spiritual practices of prayer, worship, fasting, and reading God's word, but after this book I was so intrigued what extended time in stillness would do for my very busy soul. 

I set out on my first silent retreat in October 2020 and just returned from my second one today. Meeting with God in this way is unlike anything else I've experienced. It's not all rainbows either. It's raw. It's messy. It's real. 

I cannot wait to share with you what this experience was like and what it could be like for you! What if you got away? What if for 3-4 days you allowed a moment to reconnect with yourself and Jesus. Is that thrilling to you? Is it intimidating? 

There was a time in my life when I thought this would be impossible. Now it's essential to my health and care. 

Are you curious where I stayed? How I structured my days? The books I read? DM me and I'd love to share more! See my instagram and facebook pages below.

Do you consider yourself a “Jill-of-all-trades,” experienced in many areas of business? Do you love taking someone's vision and helping it come to pass? Have you thought about starting your own business, but feel you lack that charismatic extroverted voice? You my friend still have an opportunity to be your own boss and run a successful business!

Enter the OBM opportunity. OBM stands for Online Business Manager and it’s the perfect fit for women who prefer to work behind the scenes while executing as an integrator (the person who gets stuff done). On today’s show, I have the privilege of interviewing Ashley Connell, Founder of the Prowess Project, certifying OBMs to provide business consultants and coaches the support they need online so they can scale. 

We explore how this role can be the perfect fit for that introverted entrepreneur who wants to focus on what they do best while leaving the big picture stuff to the natural visionary (typically coaches and consultants.)  We will hear from Ashley how many women have found success as online business managers and discuss the benefits and challenges of this innovative approach to business management. 

Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your business to the next level, this podcast will give you a fresh perspective on the potential of the online business manager opportunity.

We all know money matters, but did you know that what you THINK about matters even more?

Did you know there is such a thing as financial trauma and much of it is developed in our formative years as children? You may be in a financial rut or living abundantly, but in either case, it’s a result of your mindset. 

In today’s episode, I am joined by financial planner, Jessica Martini. Jessica is passionate about helping individuals, families, and entrepreneurs get clarity on their financial future so

they can live the life they want. 

Successfully journeying toward our Mission and Motherhood means we intentionally remove any blocks in our way. If you’re one to avoid your finances, then this is the perfect intro to everything you need to know!

In this episode, I dive into questions you submitted for some answers! Although I certainly am not the expert when it comes to your life, I love sharing what I’ve learned along the journey of my own Mission and Motherhood.

Do you struggle with guilt when asking for help?

Do you have a spouse that isn’t supportive to your Mission?

These are the questions we are tackling today and oh mannn… we get deep!

If you’ve ever pondered these things yourself, then join me in this conversation. I promise we will all leave with the answers we needed in this moment!

During the Mission and Motherhood Workshop several women listed their bodies as the obstacle between them and the life they dream of. 

Is your body in transition? Maybe not where it was before, but not exactly where you want it to be? Do you use clothing to hide behind instead of highlighting your favorite assets? 

This constant awareness of feeling out of sorts within your own skin can be exhausting and in this episode Caroline Bower, owner of The Bluebird Collective, reminds us our RIGHT NOW body is worthy!

We go beyond positive thinking and dive into the practical side of dressing your current body type that's timeless. We also talk about the fast fashion industry and how clothing doesn't just show up on hangers, they are made by humans. How can we treat them with honor and respect through our purchases?

Caroline is the honest friend you want with you in any dressing room! She will help you embrace the body you have and the life you desire.

2 years ago I found myself in a dark place. So many of the things that I believed made Leslee, Leslee were gone and with it my identity.

It's a jarring place to be when you don't know who you are any more or where you're headed. I always thought therapy was for those in crisis and well... I found myself in one.

In this episode, Alma Miller, LPC joins me to discuss what we may not be looking at that attributes to how we relate to ourselves, others, and even to the Lord.

Maybe you're like me and didn't like the idea of blaming my childhood for my issues, but it was clear, although I had a beautiful upbringing, there were times I felt mismatched or detached from my caregivers.

These "little T" traumas matter and they mark you until you are brave enough to uncover them, feel them, and heal from them. That's the most redeeming part of my story in all of this. The amount of repair that has taken place between me and my family is redemptive!

Do you feel lost, stuck, and afraid to address the pain of your past? Whether it's big or small they matter to God and He desires to see you free.

Take a moment with me to consider what's on the other side of your pain. Hope is always present!

9 times out of 10 you will find me second guessing some decision. The amount of mental churn that happens within this head of mine is a little embarrassing to admit, but I am going first here!

Hi, my name is Leslee Owen and I am NOT a risk taker.

Do you cling to certainty and run from the unknown? This is typically my MO, but this past week on a random Thursday I decided to hop on a plane and see my best friend. She was in a situation no one should walk through alone and I wanted to be there for her.

To my surprise, this didn't end up just being a passing thought, but an idea I shared with my husband, acted on, and lived out!

On today's episode I am talking to you from the airport gate as I process how hard it is for me to trust my gut. I question where all of this started and what kicked me out of second guessing and into "just do it!" mode.

Are you tired of waiting to act on the things you dream about? Do you constantly hang back because you are not 100% sure things will work out... you and me both friend. Let's listen to this episode together and begin to take risks that we've always wanted to!

Many women desire mentorship, but are not quite sure how to find a mentor?

This was me for so long and in Feb. of 2020 God dropped April Williams into my lap. Well... it literally felt that way. April walked with me during a most pivotal time in my career and motherhood and shared her wisdom and encouragement along the way.

What came as a surprise is April claims the relationship is mutual and even though she's been at this mission and motherhood thing for a while, I bring value into her life too!

Now that's full circle mentorship!

Everything you need to know about finding a mentor, preparing for a mentorship, and how to make the most of this special relationship in this episode!

You can find April on LinkedIn, email her at [email protected], or catch her own podcast on all things marketing and sales.
