Loving Money: the Podcast with Leisse Wilcox

Wow, THIS has been a week. 

I am offering my voice and super-power ability to share with you a fresh perspective, with my top three mindset practices to weather this storm - in an incredibly raw and real way.

In this show you will learn how to:

+ Limit your exposure (not only physically, but emotionally), be conscious in choosing your content, and step away from the conversations that are doing more harm than good

+ Trust there will be much learning and healing here and see this entire situation as something happening FOR our global community, not TO it

+ Continuously choose love (and hope, and optimism, and joy...) over fear, and get control over your own emotions - regardless of anything that is happening around you

BONUS: Here's my favorite way to almost instantly relieve anxiety in 5 minutes or less: https://youtu.be/qeVHDT8TbeA

I am here to support you; email me to book a private session to take this further, and help see the forest through a whole bunch of anxious trees.

We can totally do this. xx LW

Notes: Group Coaching with me is available here, for both "First, Love Yourself" and "Healthy Money Mindset"

BONUS: the first five people to join will receive a free one x one private coaching session with me, to clear out and release an old and limiting subconscious belief that has been holding you back from feeling great and succeeding well.

Today we're talking about the real takeaway lessons from "Love is Blind," aka "the train wreck of a Netflix Original that none of us can stop watching."

Love isn’t blind, but it is an energy. It doesn’t require the co-dependent dynamic of someone being rescued, it invites the best version of two people to come forward and grow together. It isn’t conflict averse, it fosters communication through challenge and adversity. It doesn’t make anyone happy who isn’t happy already, it amplifies our natural ability to be happy in the moment, with each of us being responsible for our own emotions.

Divorce is THE single hardest experience of my life. For context: I lost my sister when she was 21, got breast cancer when I was 36, and six months ago I chose to completely remove my breasts as a preventative measure. So it’s safe to say “I’ve had some pretty hard experiences.”⁣

⁣And still, divorce is - BY FAR - the hardest. ⁣

⁣Divorce is a lot like herpes; it feels like the “gift” that keeps on giving. Just when you think “oh thank God it’s over. I can breathe again,” nope. 🤦🏼‍♀️There it is, dropping some insane + unexpected flare up on you. Again. ⁣

Part of why divorce is such a shit show, is because you CANNOT talk openly about it; in keeping it under wraps, filed under “what not to share at dinner parties or on Instagram,” you accumulate additional layers of emotional suffocation + shame. ⁣With any other loss, you’re “allowed” to process it out in the open, and in doing so, feel it to heal it. Divorce - even in 2019 - is too taboo to do that with. So instead we bury it + suffer - and I mean SUFFER - largely in silence.⁣

⁣Nobody really knows the actual pain of divorce until you’ve been in it (or until you’ve been on the receiving end of multiple SOS calls from someone close who is in it), making it easy to judge from afar. ⁣So I recorded a podcast on what it actually FEELS like to get divorced.

And for anyone who’s ever scoffed + said “pfffft. Divorce is taking the easy way out,” BA HA HA HA HA this is for you. And it’s for the person googling “should I stay or should I go?” And it’s for the person who never forgave their parents for splitting up. And wow, it is for the person who’s in the thick of it who thinks no one notices what they’re going through. ⁣

⁣I see you. I feel you. I can hold you with my words + tell you you are not alone. Time is a great healer, and starting over is not a failure. ⁣

Oh yes, you read that title right.

I know what you're thinking - "Leisse, aren't YOU a female empowerment brand? Isn't this kind of the dumbest move you could make?" Yes, I am sure am, in the most genuine of ways. And while I did delay sharing this episode by three weeks, because of my own fears of releasing this level of truth into the world, I stand behind it as coming from an honest, informed place.

Here's the hard truth: while there are many, MANY female empowerment brands and thought leaders showing up in our online and IRL worlds, there are many others who have figured out a way to juke the system, sell us a dream that isn't really attainable - or even HEALTHY - and do so while capitalizing on the fears and insecurities of the audience they claim to serve.

And I am over it. Join me today as I shed some light on the buyer beware nature on the content you're consuming, and why not all "female empowerment brands" are created equal. Talk is cheap, sunshine, and authenticity - not the "TM" kind - is what gets you to the heart of hearts.

Enjoy, and if you haven't already, check out YES, YOU FUCKING CAN, the group coaching program I'm launching now for a January start - that adheres to alllll of the principles I lay out in this podcast.

Warmly,

This conversation is either going to change your outlook on alcohol and why we use it, or it's going to piss you off entirely. It's a must-listen for anyone who has ever reached for something ELSE, something external to ourselves in an attempt to "feel better."

The heart of the conversation we're having about body positivity: self-acceptance. That at any weight, shape, size, scar, and anything in between, we must accept and love ourselves deeply. Without condition.

You are more than the sum of your parts. So trust your dopeness.

Your femininity is an energy that is yours to cultivate and develop, and your beauty is a beam of confidence and truth that shines from within.

Join me today for this hella real conversation on why you are enough, and so deserving of love, exactly as you are; subscribe, rate, review, and share a photo of you listening for your chance to be featured on my page.

The courage to rise above. That is what it's really all about, isn't it? The courage to rise up, and rise above all the crap that tries to keep us down. A sure-fire way to enable yourse;f to have the courage to do exactly that? FORGIVE. Forgive the ones who wronged you, forgive the ones who really messed with your head and your heart, forgive the ones who didn't ever - and will never - ask to be forgiven, and above all else, forgive YOURSELF for whatever it is you're still carrying around and demanding you pay an ongoing price for.

This week's podcast session is epic in its ability to heal you from the inside out. And once you start forgiving? You won't stop. This is legit emotional alchemy. Like, subscribe, rate, review, share a photo and tag @leissewilcox. I LOVE to share our community listening along, in every way I can.

Calling all people pleasers!

"Not everyone has to like you." We know this, but the flip side is that "no matter what you do, sometimes people just won't like you."

In this session, I get real with how to live your own authentic story, and set the healthy living boundaries that support your doing so.

So happy you're here.

“Take your broken heart, make it into art.” Emotional alchemy is the label I give to our ability to take every single thing that has happened in your life, and make it make sense. Take the dark, heavy, ugly pieces and transform them into something light, beautiful, and uniquely your own, and allow your experience to be shaped or informed by them - not defined by them. 

This episode is a must, and will get you started in finding your own ability to create the emotional freedom you’ve been looking g for. 

Today I’m talking about one of my FAVOURITE subjects: the Paradox of Positivity. This is one of my keynotes, and for good reason. 

How many times have you heard “just think positive. Believe it, and it will happen.” Yes, that’s true, but it’s only a tiny piece of the picture. Positive thinking is crucial - repeat CRUCIAL - to our emotional well being. But in order to experience legit positive thinking, you HAVE TO CONFRONT the negative emotions that are holding you back. And negative emotions come from negative beliefs held way down in the subconscious mind, often without us even knowing they’re there. 

THAT is the paradox of Positivity: you have to FEEL the bad stuff, in order to name it, process it, and move the hell on. You have to feel it to heal it.
