In this first episode of the Write to Rise Collective, join host Leslie Wall as we dive into the powerful energy of the Winter Solstice—the longest night and the turning point of the year. Drawing from her personal experience living in Alaska, Leslie shares how she learned to honor the seasons of nature, embracing the deep stillness of winter as a time for rest, reflection, and renewal.
The Winter Solstice is more than just a celestial event—it’s an invitation to pause, reconnect, and prepare for the returning light. In this episode, you’ll learn about the symbolic meaning of the solstice, the balance between light and dark, and how this season offers us the space to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new one.
You’ll also discover simple, yet powerful practices to incorporate into your life during this sacred time, including:
* Solstice journaling and reflection
* Creating a sacred space to honor the darkness and light
* Meditation and nervous system restoration
* Setting intentions for the new year ahead
Whether you’re a writer, a coach, a healer, or simply someone looking for a deeper connection with the natural rhythms of life, this episode offers a gentle reminder that winter is not a time to rush, but to nurture, rest, and reset.
Let this episode be your invitation to slow down, embrace the season, and make space for new growth in the year ahead.
Together we write. Together we rise.
In this episode of Burn That Bridge, we dive into the messy, gritty, and raw truth about what it really takes to make your dreams happen. Forget about the “overnight success” story—greatness is built in the shadows. From 100 “no’s” to 1,000 failures, we’re talking about the real work behind the glory: Melanie Perkins getting rejected 100 times, Usain Bolt training for 20 years, Kobe Bryant sinking 1,000 shots a day, The Beatles playing 1,500 hours of live shows, and more.
These legends didn’t get where they are by playing it safe or worrying about perfection. They built their empires, their greatness, and their art when no one was watching, and we’re here to remind you to do the same. It’s about showing up, trusting the process, and continuing to push forward—even when it feels like no one is paying attention.
Tune in for a fiery, unapologetic conversation about perseverance, grit, and the art of creating before the world sees your vision. Keep building. Keep grinding. Keep believing.
In this episode of Burn That Bridge, we explore how writing a book can be the unexpected catalyst for personal growth, healing, and transformation—especially for entrepreneurs. While many see a book as a business tool, we dive deeper into how the process of writing can push you to confront your fears, vulnerabilities, and past failures in powerful ways.
Join Leslie as we unpack the surprising personal benefits of authoring a book: from overcoming imposter syndrome and revisiting your past with a new perspective, to letting go of control and embracing imperfection. Whether you’ve always wanted to write a book or are simply looking for ways to burn the bridges holding you back from your next chapter, this episode will inspire you to take the leap and embrace the transformation that comes from sharing your story.

I stepped away from bedside nursing for good. It was literally killing me. 4 years ago, after being a cardiac critical care nurse and working 80 hour weeks, on emergency call and completely worn down and burned out, my body decided it had enough and went into all systems failure. I had a nervous breakdown followed by kidney, cardiac, and liver failure. I had no other option but to step away from the job that had chewed me up and spit me out. It’s taken years to recover my physical body back to health and my mental health took a major hit too. Still trying to deconstruct the damage and implement holistic practices into my life to regain my health and happiness again. In that attempt, it lead me to the work that I do now as a Board Certified Holistic Nurse Coach. I serve as a bridge between Eastern and Western Medicine, to help my clients implement more holistic practices into their daily lives and help them to achieve health and happiness that is authentic and true to them. Through my own journey, I become a published author and writing coach helping people find their voice, share their story and build and book that helps share their mission and gives people a glimpse into their world and the work that they do. I started to see my sisters in business really struggling so I decided to help female entrepreneurs and creatives to have a place of sacred sisterhood and community. This youtube channel and podcast will dive into goal setting and marketing, to building strong network of support, overcoming setbacks, and managing work-life balance. If you’re ready to build your dream business- while staying true to who you are-this channel is for you. Let’s make this entrepreneurial and creative path one of faith, purpose, and success. Together WE RISE!
