Built for the Edge E #428: Leading with Wholeness: Embracing Your Messiness and Humanness with Leah
In this episode, Kehla sits down with Leah, a women’s empowerment and embodiment mentor who supports conscious female entrepreneurs in healing emotional and ancestral wounds, expanding their nervous system capacity, shifting their mindset, and stepping into heart-led leadership. As the host of the Mindful Evolution and Call Her Forward podcasts, Leah brings her passionate, playful, and soulful personality to her work, blending trauma-informed and somatic approaches to help women heal relationship wounds, rise confidently in their feminine power, and expand their impact in life and business.
Together, Kehla and Leah dive into the beauty of embracing one’s messiness and humanness as a leader, letting go of perfectionism and the need for external validation. They discuss how true leadership comes from accepting every part of your experience—your emotions, conflicts, and challenges—so you can lead yourself powerfully instead of shrinking or seeking approval from others.
Leah offers insights on connecting with the inner self, integrating emotions, and navigating feelings without fear, illustrating how this deep self-connection builds authentic relationships and leadership. The conversation also explores the healing interplay between masculine and feminine energies, highlighting the importance of radical responsibility. Leah emphasizes that by recognizing how we perpetuate old pain patterns, we empower ourselves to release the past and grow—expanding not just as entrepreneurs but as women in leadership, fully embracing wholeness and authenticity.
