Putting in the hard work to become the best version of yourself is a life-changing decision that Leslie made a long time ago. It was on this journey that she discovered she was not broken, just uninformed. Now Leslie is on a mission to help others learn to love themselves and find their WHY.

How can we become more supportive of each other during the holiday season?

For a lot of people, the Thanksgiving and Christmas period trigger anxiety and depression. So thoughtful actions go a long way during this time of year.

We often think that offering support means making a big gesture, but something as simple as a text can make a huge difference in somebody’s day.

Bullying doesn’t just happen in schools or online. Bullying can also come from people you trust.

When you seek help from someone in a position of power over you, like a therapist, you tend to take their word over your own. Even when it makes you feel small.

Today, I want you to make a commitment to yourself that you matter. And you're not going to let anyone, no matter what their title is, make you question that.

YOU are the boss.

YOU decide who you work with.

Therapists work for YOU.
