35: When You Want To Find Clarity In What You Want, Confidence In Who You Are and Courage To Stay True To Both - Leisse Wilcox

Oct 28, 2019

How do you turn something ugly into something beautiful? As the brilliant Leisse Wilcox would suggest, you do so through ‘Emotional Alchemy’. 

Leisse is a professional human and real-life adult and after overcoming the heartbreak of childhood trauma, death of a sibling, divorce and more recently, breast cancer, she created a life & lifestyle coaching practice around the theme of emotional alchemy to help people find clarity in what they want, confidence in who they are courage to stay true to both.

 

In this episode we discuss:

• Overcoming indecisiveness 
• Gaining trust in your inner knowing without rational explanation = your intuition 
• How to trust in the journey of where you’re headed
• The moment Leisse realized she had to leave a marriage 
• Denial and acceptance when receiving a cancer diagnosis
• Why cancer treatment became scarier than the cancer diagnosis itself
• Sharing a cancer diagnosis with Leisse’s kids
• Channeling confidence by being so secure in the relationship you have with yourself
• The first rule of PR and how it relates to our negative self-talk
• Setting boundaries by getting clear on what feels good to you  
• The book proposal Leisse wrote during chemotherapy treatment
• Why Leisse chose to get a double mastectomy
