About this episode

Are you connected to a meaningful and purposeful life? 

As your life becomes increasingly full of expectations from family and work, it is easy to lose the connection to your heart and what gives your life passion and meaning outside of everyday obligations. 

Find out how a stage IV cancer diagnosis revealed to Leslie the secrets of living a happy and fulfilled life.  Fortunately, you don’t have to face cancer to learn how to increase your quality of life and live a life of joy and lasting happiness. 

Are you evolving as the woman you imagine yourself becoming? Knowing your purpose, your strong reasons for living is one of the vital lifestyle lessons Leslie talks about in this podcast.   

Her open and compassionate presence has counseled people of all ages around the world for over two decades.  

She studied Dance Movement Therapy & Psychology, BA from the Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, and Counseling Psychology, M.Ed from the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia. 

Her continued interests in personal & spiritual growth have led her to specialize in the fields of energy psychology, mindfulness, & healing movement through qigong & yoga.  

Since her advanced stage colorectal cancer diagnosis in 2016, she continues to effectively implement a variety of complementary therapies, wellness practices, and intentional shifts in her lifestyle to support her healing journey from cancer. 

She has recently created an online course to support people who are affected by cancer. The course: Choose Life! walks you through the three major lifestyle changes she believes are vital components of a transformational healing experience.  Choose Life is currently part of a research study examining how a person’s quality of life and wellbeing are affected after completing the 4-week course. Leslie and Philippe Goldin, Ph.D. are collaborating on this project. Find out more about participating in the study by contacting Leslie directly
