Another first date that goes nowhere…
You leave dinner thinking it maybe went okay… and then? Crickets. Or maybe you’re the one who didn’t feel a spark, and you can’t figure out why.
If this pattern sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
I’m breaking down the six most common reasons first dates fizzle and how to shift your energy and approach so you can start creating real connection.
Let’s talk about what might actually be going on beneath the surface and what to do differently next time.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the frustrating pattern when a guy says he wants something serious, but a few months in, he starts to pull away and switches it up.
If you keep attracting emotionally unavailable, avoidant men (the ones who seem great at first, then go cold as things head towards commitment), this one’s for you.
We’ll talk through:
- Why avoidants actually seem “secure” at first
- What’s actually happening when you’re wanting to check his social media and overanalyzing your last text for the 10th time
- Stop the brain’s rumination on “Why did he do this?”
- What to do when the avoidant comes back after he gets space
- How to start becoming unavailable to avoidant love — and start attracting secure connection

If you’ve ever felt like your success or independence has gotten in the way of your love life…
In this session that I originally shared during a live event on Luxury Love, we’re unpacking one of the most common (and sneaky) patterns I see in independent, ambitious women that blocks them from the supportive, passionate relationship they desire.
You’ll hear the truth about why control, over-functioning, and “doing more” in love doesn’t actually create the secure, emotionally available partnership you desire — and how those same patterns often show up in your relationship with money and success too.
Also included in this episode:
- How control shows up in dating (and how to rewire it into trust)
- The 3 Luxuries of Love every ambitious woman deserves
- A guided practice to shift from scarcity love to Luxury Love

Breakups can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you. One moment you’re building a future with someone, and the next… you’re left questioning everything: “Was it me? Did I miss the signs? How do I get them back?”
In this conversation, we’re unpacking:
- The key to getting the closure you’re craving
- What you need to know if you’re wanting to get back together with your ex
- The biggest mistake to avoid in the early days of a break up
- The messy yet powerful process of grief
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel less alone, more grounded, and more equipped to turn this ending into the beginning of something more aligned for you.
Because a breakup doesn’t mean you’ve failed at love — it’s often the very thing that clears the path for the relationship you actually deserve.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Serena — a graduate of Radiant Relationship Academy and now memoir author. Her story is one of deep transformation: breaking free of conditioning and chasing external validation to learning how to mother herself, reclaim her feminine, and live in alignment with her truth.
Serena’s story is a reminder that honoring your truth will sometimes require burning down the version of you that played it safe. But on the other side? Peace, alignment, and the kind of love that starts from within.
Some of the topics we cover:
- Her pivotal moments inside RRA — and how it helped her break generational cycles
- The silent cost of overachieving and living in masculine energy
- How subconscious conditioning drives your relationship and life patterns — until you rewire it
- Letting go of what looks like “success” on paper
- Why searching outside of yourself for love and fulfillment never works
- The courage it takes to stop shrinking and live into your bigness

If you’ve ever wanted to delete the dating apps and give up on dating altogether… listen to this episode before throwing in the towel!
Dating burnout is real — and it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because the way you’ve been dating doesn’t honor your nervous system, your self-worth, or your actual desires.
In this episode, I’m walking you through what’s actually going on when you feel done with dating… and what to do instead.
We’ll explore:
- Why dating feels so draining (even when you're "doing everything right")
- The difference between app fatigue, pattern fatigue, and mindset fatigue
- How to re-energize your love life with alignment instead of “more effort”
- The formula you need to date completely differently
This is your permission slip to stop hustling for love and start dating in a way that feels peaceful, empowered, and emotionally aligned.

In this episode of Leah on Love, I’m joined by holistic health coach Brittany for a conversation every ambitious woman needs to hear — especially if you’re juggling career, dating, and trying to “do it all” with your health.
Britt is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and she specializes in helping her clients get to the root of their digestive issues, beat burnout, eat to ease anxiety and build long term healthy habits without restrictions. She loves helping her clients find joy in the kitchen, enjoy a loving relationship with food and finally feel like they can eat some of their favourite foods after years and years of restriction.
In this episode, we dive into the common mistakes women make when trying to be healthy and why that all-or-nothing mentality is keeping you stuck. Brittany breaks down how to approach health from a place of self-love instead of punishment.
We also chat about how to stay grounded and nourished when your dating schedule is unpredictable (hello dinner dates and drinks!) and how gut health plays a key role in managing anxiety and stress while putting yourself out there.

Texting in early dating can feel like an emotional rollercoaster—one moment, you’re riding the high of a quick reply, and the next, you’re spiraling when they take hours to respond.
This cycle of excitement and anxiety isn’t about the texts themselves but about your nervous system seeking security. When someone doesn’t text as often as you'd like, it can trigger deeper fears of rejection or abandonment, making it easy to overanalyze every message. But does texting actually define a connection? Or are we mistaking constant communication for real commitment?
In this episode, we unpack why waiting for a text can feel unbearable, how to regulate your nervous system instead of spiraling, and what to focus on beyond messaging. Plus, we explore why we tend to obsess over inconsistent texters while overlooking secure, available partners. If you’ve ever found yourself glued to your phone waiting for a reply, this one’s for you.

This is the most vulnerable episode I’ve ever recorded. For months, I’ve been putting this off, waiting until I had it “all figured out.” But the truth is, I’m still in the thick of it — navigating heartbreak unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
Today, I’m sharing from a place of raw emotion, not from a place of neatly packaged lessons. I don’t have all the answers yet.
What I do have is my commitment to being open, honest, and real with you — even when I feel like I’m still piecing myself back together.
Relationships have always been my greatest teacher, and this one is no different. I trust that this pain is shaping me, even if I can’t see the full picture yet.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling apart, know that you’re not alone. I’m here in the messiness with you, trusting that healing is on the other side.
This is the beginning of me sharing my journey through heartbreak. Thank you for being here.

This one is for the ambitious, high-achieving women who have ever gotten out of a relationship and felt like “Phew, there I am again…”
Ever feel like relationships are more trouble than they are worth?
Feel like you are so much more YOURSELF when you are single than when you are in a relationship?
Do you thrive in other areas of your life when you aren’t in a relationship compared to when you are in one?
Yep, this one is for you.
Once this truly CLICKS — it will change your experience in relationships from never feeling good enough to actually enjoying the easefulness of a relationship with a supportive partner (the dream right?!)
P.S. I specialize in helping women overcome this pattern so that they can finally attract the RIGHT partner for them.

You’re dating, you’re getting out there…. but just not meeting anyone you have a strong connection with. This can feel so defeating.
Usually women blame it on the town they live in, dating apps, or convince themselves "it’ll just happen when the time is right”.
None of these things are the actual problem.
In this episode, I walk you through WHY this is happening and how you can start meeting men you DO have a strong connection with, as soon as this weekend!

Have you had any of these experiences?
You text, they take hours to respond... Your mind races with thoughts of abandonment.
They seek solitude after an argument, while you're left craving a resolution and reassurance.
You pride yourself on independence, yet deep down, intimacy feels like a threat to your freedom.
These patterns aren't just coincidences; they're signs of anxious and avoidant attachment styles at play.

Whether you're consistently finding yourself in relationships that leave you feeling unfulfilled, or you're on a journey to attract a healthy, secure relationship — this episode offers transformative insights and actionable advice to help you navigate towards a more secure attachment style.

Life is busy and relationships take time to build…
AND relationships nourish you and add value to your life.
It can be both.
The challenge of “I don’t have time to date right now” may be revealing something deeper...
The avoidance of the possibility of rejection or heartbreak.
The lack of trust in men.
The lack of trust in yourself to attract a great man.
The truth is, finding someone to do life with actually opens up time in your life.
You don’t have to do everything on your own and by yourself.
You can be a strong, independent woman AND have an amazing relationship.
Ask yourself this…”Is a healthy, committed relationship actually a desire of mine?”
If the answer is YES, then it’s time to look at the excuse “I just don’t have time to date”.

How much texting is too much in early dating? What do you do when someone is great in person but they rarely text you?
If you’ve ever wondered this, you’re not alone. Texting is one of the most complicated parts of early dating.
In this episode, I’ll help you feel more confident and at ease in navigating texting in the early stages of dating.
I’m sharing my take (backed by my professional experience as a dating and relationship coach - supporting over 100 women attract their ideal partner) on texting before, after and between dating, who should text first, what happens when things fade off, and so much more!
I even include word-for-word examples of texts you can send so that you are well communicated and come off confident and secure.

Society often associates successful women with traits like ambition, assertiveness, and independence — which can sometimes be perceived as intimidating or threatening by potential partners.
While these masculine traits serve them well in their careers, they are not as effective in the realm of love.
What happens is these women usually become more comfortable in their masculine energy and feeling uncomfortable in their feminine — leading to repelling strong, masculine men and attracting passive, indecisive men.
Striking a balance between success and vulnerability becomes crucial in establishing fulfilling romantic connections.

- Understanding and breaking down needs
- It can be hard to tell the difference between relationship anxiety and your needs not being met
- Am I wanting too much?
- Anxiety - thoughts go in all sorts of directions (cheating, doesn’t love me, doesn’t care about me) it makes things are improbable seem like they are vivid and real
- Anxiety has to be separated from core needs
- Core needs - whats the base level of communication or affection that I need in order to feel fulfilled?
- What’s right for me?
- If you are in a place of anxiety and someone doesn’t text you for two days - your thoughts go to “I’m not enough” // coming from a confidence place “this person might not be right for me”
- Confidence mindset: Is this enough for me? Is their behavior what I need in my life? (confidence is creating the culture where that’s possible)
- insecurity - following the lead of someone else
- confidence - attempting to create the culture that you actually want
- anxious communication - i’m reaching out to try to get value from you/ approval/ validation
- confident communication - i’m reaching out to create value
- for many of us who have never learned what that looks like, we have no models/ examples of that
1) Come from confidence
2) Communication
- be specific
- listen to understand
- stop hinting and be clear
- don’t he can read your mind
3) Cultivate the environment you desire
4) Open the channels to receive
What not to do — do MORE
Do less, but ask for MORE

The National Organization for Women Foundation reports that at age thirteen, 53% of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to 78% by the time girls reach seventeen.
Even without knowing these stats, it's pretty clear that body image issues are VERY common among women and can develop at a young age.
If you've struggled with body image, you know how frustrating it can feel to improve it. It's certainly not as simple as repeating self-love affirmations.
In this episode, we cover:
- Our own personal challenges with body image (*TW: eating disorder recovery)
- What we have found helps support more compassion, atunement with your body, inner peace, food and body freedom
- The impact stress has on our body
- "Body neutrality" as a gentle baseline
- Why looking at the motivation behind our decisions will create better results
- The single greatest factor that impacts our wellbeing

Anytime shame is brought to light and held in love and compassion, it loses its power.
In this episode, we’re discussing the shame around women’s sensuality and sexuality. We touch on the historical, cultural, and religious influences that have led women like ourselves and our clients to hold on to SO MUCH shame—shame that we might not even realize we’re holding. We believe that sensuality is part of natural essence as woman. It's part of our nature as creative, receptive, and abundant in pleasure beings. We share some of the questions and resources that have helped us in releasing shame and opening up to our sensuality—for no one but ourselves.
We discuss:
- The unhelpful beliefs about sexuality that we’re taught growing up
- How early civilizations viewed women’s sexuality—and where we lost that viewpoint along the way
- The connection between sexuality and vitality, health, and creativity
- Brené Brown’s distinction between guilt and shame
- The importance of establishing safety and using a trauma-informed approach when you begin to work with your sexuality
- John Wineland’s definition of open hearted
- Using the Sacred Sexuality Workshop inside the Sisters That Stray Collective as a starting place to re-wire your pathways to pleasure
- What a witness dance is
- Using a yoni egg initiation ceremony to heal your relationship to your 🐱
Our upcoming half-day retreat, The Liberated Woman, is all about giving you the permission to be fully in your sensual expression and to witness other women being in theirs. If you’re ready to work with your own sensuality in a safe container, please come join us! August 27th in Denver, CO.

"To be fully seen is a rare and transformative gift." - Mirabai Starr in Wild Mercy
On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about female friendships and how truly precious and magical they are. In our own lives, we’ve learned how to step away from friendships that were no longer growing, as well as cultivate healthy, generative friendships. We discuss the transformations we’ve witnessed in the women who attend our retreats, events, and women’s circles when they are able to connect vulnerably and authentically.
Topics also covered:
- How we absorb the cultural examples of female friendships
- The role that jealousy, competition, projection, and lack of vulnerability usually play in female friendships
- The similarities between nurturing a friendship and a romantic relationship
- The dynamism of female friendship
- Why your inner work is so important to your friendships
- How to meet women who are desiring the same type of friendship as you
- How to recreate your current friendships so that they feel more healthy and supportive
- Shine Theory by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman
- The 3 big questions we ask ourselves when evaluating our friendships
Having supportive, authentic friendships really comes down to doing your own inner work and putting yourself in environments where you’re available to meet likeminded women. We’re so proud of Sisters That Stray because it was always our intention that it would become a community where women could do just that: heal and find sisterhood.
If you’re interested in rewriting your story of female friendship and finding lifelong sisters, join us at The Liberated Woman **on August 27th in Denver, CO.
This half-day retreat is designed to support you in showing up as your full self, experiencing more fulfilling relationships, and connecting to a network of powerful women who desire authentic friendships.**

Ever passed by a group of women in a pole dancing class and thought, “That looks fun…but I could never do that!” This episode’s for you.
We reflect on our journey with dance and the powerful lessons that this practice has taught us. From playing with intuitive movement and attending ecstatic dance classes in Bali to stepping into our first choreographed exotic dance class, we discuss:
- How we got into pole and exotic dancing and what it means to us
- Utilizing playful energy as a gateway to sensuality
- Shifting away from shame, comparison, and concern for “how it looks”
- What comes up when you’re in a space with other women and sensual energy
- The connection between building self trust and pole dancing
- The interplay of softness & the strength
- How to hold confidence in your body (even when you’re just walking to the mailbox or in the grocery store)
- How to be okay with failure
- The connection between dance, vulnerability, and intimacy
Go check out some local exotic or pole dance classes in your area and let us know how it goes!
And if you're in Denver, CO – we’ll be hosting our half-day retreat, The Liberated Woman on Saturday, August 27th.
This retreat is very much inspired by what erotic dance has taught us: confidence, releasing shame, and reclaiming liberation to become embodied women.We’ll be using cacao, meditation, sensual movement, embodiment, and dance to guide you in processing your emotions and bringing your entire system into a new way of being.

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” ― Timothy Keller

In this episode, we break down the 4 Phases of your Menstrual Cycle: what's going on with your hormone levels in each phase and what are the ideal activities to be scheduling in your social and work calendar for each phase. This understanding will help you optimize your cycle to create more ease and flow in your life! When we learn to embrace the cyclical nature of our Menstrual Cycle and acknowledge the physical and emotional changes that come along with it, we can lean into what our bodies are attempting to teach us.

In this episode, we interview Chelsea Cherry, founder of Triple Threat Lifestyle who is leading, transforming, and inspiring people of all ages and fitness levels to pursue total well being. Chelsea is also one of our best friends! We connected with her through Instagram when she approached us last summer to collaborate on a project, and we’ve been creating together ever since. We’ve actually grown even closer over the last few months as the pandemic has been unfolding and causing us all to pivot our businesses. She has been someone we can have these tough conversations with around what’s happening in the world. From COVID to racial injustices, we have to be willing to journey through the uncomfortable terrains to dismantle everything that has created this reality right now. We are committed to creating a more welcoming platform and community for people of all backgrounds, races and ethnicities. One way we are doing this is by highlighting voices of color. We feel it’s important to highlight Chelsea's voice and her perspective and experience as a mixed race woman in the wellness industry.

If you feel like you take on other people’s energy, you are not alone. Being an empath means that you’re highly sensitive to the energy of other people, and many empaths struggle with feeling drained all the time. Even if you don't identify as an empath, moving through the spiritual awakening process causes us to become sensitive to energy.⠀It is really important – now more than ever – to know how to protect yourself as an empath. Find more information on our membership and retreats as well as more tools, resources and practices at: http://www.sistersthatstray.com. In this episode, we share: Tools, techniques and practices to use as an empath so that other people’s energy will no longer drain you. How your sensitivity as an empath is actually your superPOWER, rather than a curse. How to heal as an empath through the cultivation of self-reliance. How to eliminate the empathic need for suffering and shift from helpless to empowered, free, and strong! Show notes: (2:42) - What is an empath? (3:41) - Signs you’re an empath. (5:20) - STOP DOING THIS as an empath. (9:30) - Tools to protect your energy. (20:35) - Our favorite technique: The Art of Alchemy. (26:42) - The most uncomfortable situations for an empath to deal with, and how to overcome it. (30:43) - The law that changed our lives. (35:08) - How your sensitivity is actually a blessing, not a curse.

Right now, they are building a community garden to grow organic food that will be donated to their employees’ families and other families in need in Manuel Antonio. We believe in their mission and we’ve decided to donate 15% of all proceeds from our Awakening Jungle Retreat this September 2-8 to making this project happen.
