In this deeply honest birthday episode, Leah opens up about the real story behind 2025, a year marked by transformation, uncertainty, survival mode, and the moment she finally realized she hadn’t taken a full exhale in almost twelve months.
From the Malibu fires to the energetic intensity of the Year of the Snake, Leah shares how a subtle undercurrent of fear shaped her choices, her nervous system, and her ability to trust life… until something shifted.
This episode is for you if you’ve been bracing all year, carrying a quiet heaviness, or feeling like you’re navigating life alone. Leah breaks down what survival energy really is, how it disconnects us from our intuition, and the powerful moment she finally put down the weight she didn’t know she was carrying.
You’ll also hear:
If 2025 humbled you, stretched you, awakened you, or exhausted you… this conversation will feel like the exhale you’ve been needing.

Jennifer reveals how she went from questioning whether great men even exist to manifesting a love beyond her wildest dreams by surrendering control and aligning with her true self.

In this soul-stirring episode of the Live Free Lifestyle podcast, Leah sits down with her dear friend Kate Harlow—love and relationship coach, founder of The Expanded Love Method, and host of The New Truth podcast. Kate shares her powerful journey from being the ultimate "good girl" and people pleaser to living a completely unscripted life that has taken her from Vancouver to Greece to Kenya.
The conversation dives deep into what it takes to untether from the scripted version of who you were taught to be and liberate your heart and soul to live a life that's truly for you. Kate reveals her first major act of living unscripted—changing her name at 25 and losing all her friends in the process—and how that initiation set her on a path of radical authenticity. She teaches about the five saboteur archetypes that keep women stuck in someone else's script and shares practical wisdom on how to distinguish between fear (that means GO) and intuitive nos. This episode is a masterclass in courage, sovereignty, and what becomes possible when you finally put yourself in the driver's seat of your own life.
✨Key Takeaways From This Episode:
- Living free means untethering from the scripted version of who you were taught to be and following your soul's truth
- The fear that comes with big life changes is actually an indicator you're on the right path—look for "the door with fear graffiti all over it"
- Your body is your compass—anxiety often signals you're living out of alignment, saying yes when it's a no and no when it's a yes
- Getting intimate with your saboteur (conditioned self) is the first step to reclaiming your authentic life
- The five saboteur archetypes: Self-Sacrificer, Controller, Isolator, Shapeshifter, and Fantasy Addict - When you live from your truth, you may lose people who were "hired" to keep you in the script—but you gain yourself
- Real security comes from being present in the moment and trusting the unfolding of your life, not from controlling the future
- Building a deep, reverent relationship with yourself creates a life of love and attracts aligned relationships
- Your desires (like Kate's tingles about Kenya) are divine direction—create space to hear them clearly
- Feelings are information, not final—learn to distinguish the story from the sensation in your body

In this powerful episode Leah sits down with her friend Mark Groves—human connection specialist, author, and host of the Mark Groves podcast—for an unfiltered conversation about love, liberation, and the patterns that keep us stuck.
Mark shares his personal journey from self-betrayal to sovereignty, revealing how external betrayal often begins with abandoning ourselves.
Together, they explore the difference between love and wounded attachment, why we recreate the same relationship dynamics, and what it truly means to be free enough to choose. This is a raw, honest dialogue about breaking generational patterns, honoring your truth, and learning to stop abandoning yourself for the approval of others. If you're ready to stop performing and start living authentically, this conversation will shake you awake.
✨Key Takeaways From This Episode:
- If you're not sovereign and free to leave a relationship, you're not free to choose it
- When you don't live a truth you know, you trade a truth you need
- Self-betrayal often begins long before external betrayal—it starts when we dishonor ourselves
- The thing you wanted most as a child but didn't get is often what you unconsciously seek in relationships
- Your emotions are not inconvenient—they're your soul's language and internal GPS
- Being out of integrity with yourself creates literal inflammation in your body and mind
- The shadow voice will always tell you to stay small—your job is to say "hell no" - Healing the suppression is in the expression of it
- There's nothing broken about you—your feelings of emptiness are your soul calling you home
- At some point you have to decide: will you keep playing victim or finally choose your life?
- The truth always comes for you—either as a whisper or a cosmic dump truck
- Liberation isn't comfortable, but staying small costs you everything
