A former Division I athlete who has navigated her own struggles with anxiety, Leah blends neuroscience, practical tools, and lived experience to make mental wellness approachable and actionable.

Known for her engaging and relatable speaking style, Leah works with corporations, healthcare systems, educators, and government agencies to help teams strengthen resilience, prevent burnout, and set boundaries that support sustainable high performance.
Leah’s work empowers individuals and organizations to step out of “serial fixing,” reduce stress, and apply her Support, Don’t Solve framework to create cultures where people can thrive—both professionally and personally.
Empowering others to build resilience and improve their productivity by simplifying their lives, reducing anxiety, and setting clearer boundaries. Leah believes meaningful change begins with validating where we are—our thoughts, emotions, and experiences—so we can move forward with clarity and confidence.
One of my most meaningful experiences was delivering my TEDx talk on the hidden patterns of “serial fixing.” Standing on that red dot, I shared how even the most compassionate, high-achieving people unknowingly take on too much responsibility for others—often at the expense of their own well-being.
The moment that surprised me most? Seeing people in the audience nod, tear up, and visibly recognize themselves in the stories. After the talk, dozens approached me to say they finally felt seen and understood. Many shared that the concept helped them rethink their patterns at work, at home, and in their relationships.
That experience reaffirmed why I do this work: to give people language for what they feel, and to help them shift from over-functioning to healthier connection and support.
From a young age, being part of athletic teams taught me discipline, resilience, and the value of collaboration. I thrived on pushing myself physically and mentally, but I also struggled as a pleaser, overly concerned with how others perceived me. Over time, my InnerCritic amplified my anxiety, leaving me emotionally drained and unsure how to honor my own needs.
Through years of self-reflection and professional training, I learned to listen to myself, set boundaries, and transform that inner dialogue into a source of strength. These experiences fueled my passion for helping others navigate their own challenges. Today, I create safe spaces for individuals and organizations to process, grow, and build resilience—turning vulnerability into empowerment.
