Every generation is raised in societal, cultural, religious, and family expectations. I call them the collective lies of our society. These collective lies are made up of the ideals, the hopes, and the dreams of every generation.

Leonie makes you feel ‘it’s okay to have feelings, be human, and have baggage,’ and that we can work with it and still grow and blossom. She has a way of making everyone feel nurtured, at ease and at no point did I ever feel judged.

Leonie sees life like nobody I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. To realize how others treat us and how we treat others and ourselves is an amazing insight and something all of us need to learn. Thank you so much.
