Episode 16: In this episode, Lea gets real about what it means to be nourished to prosper. After weeks of feeling drained and foggy despite doing “all the right things,” she realized her body needed more than checkboxes—it needed true nourishment. Lea shares her personal journey with starting an anti-inflammatory diet and how physical inflammation often mirrors deeper internal or emotional inflammation. This conversation is part pep talk, part practical, with a reminder that prosperity begins with how we care for ourselves from the inside out. If you’ve been feeling off and don’t know why, this episode might be the reset you didn’t know you needed.
