I was wrong about the timeline

I want to share something honestly. Over the last few days, I’ve had real conversations with women inside this space. And alongside reflecting on my own journey, something became painfully clear: Thirty days was never going to be enough. Not because the work is shallow. But because survival mode runs deep. Survival mode isn’t a habit. It’s not a mindset issue. It’s not something you push through with discipline. It’s an identity you learned to live from. And identities don’t unwind on a deadline. As I listened to women talk about how long they’ve been stuck, how often they snap back, how many times they’ve “started over” I realized something important: A short container doesn’t create safety. It creates pressure. And pressure is the exact environment survival mode already lives in. When I looked back at my own life, the same truth showed up. The changes that actually stuck for me didn’t happen because I moved faster or tried harder. They happened when I had:
And I saw this again recently. Earlier this year, I ran a small identity-focused cohort. It worked but even then, something stood out. The women made real shifts… and they also needed more time. Time to practice choosing differently. Time to rebuild trust with themselves. Time to stop snapping back. Their feedback confirmed what I already knew from my own journey: This work doesn’t need more intensity... it needs more space. That’s when it clicked. If I truly help women exit survival mode, this work needs a container that can actually hold that depth. So I changed it.. What was originally a 30-day experience is now a 12-week Identity Exit journey. Not to make it bigger. Not to complicate it. Not to overwhelm anyone. But to make it real. This work isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about rebuilding self-trust. About noticing when old identities take over. About learning how to choose differently without forcing yourself. That kind of change needs room to breathe. Before I say anything else, I want to pause here. Not to sell you anything. Not to push you into a decision. Just to give you space to name something honestly. If survival mode were no longer running your life… what is the ONE thing that would feel different first? You don’t need the perfect answer. You don’t need clarity yet. One sentence is enough. If you want, reply and finish this sentence: “If I trusted myself more, I would ______.” That’s it. No pitch. No pressure. No commitment. I read every reply myself. And sometimes, naming the thing you haven’t said out loud yet is the first real shift. PROUD OF YOU 💙 Walking with you, Leasha P.S. You don’t exit survival mode by forcing change. You exit it by becoming safe enough to choose differently. That’s what this work is about. |

I want to tell you something very real about my life. Friday nights and some Saturday evenings, I like watching WWE. I have a couple of friends who love it too, so we’ll get together, hang out, watch it, just be normal humans enjoying something fun. That doesn’t sound like a big deal. But a year ago? That exact situation would have stopped me cold. Here’s what would happen and I want you to really see this. I’d know the plans were coming. Days before. And instead of feeling excited, my body...
I want you to think about a moment that keeps happening. It’s usually at night. Or in the quiet space between things. You finally slow down… and that familiar feeling shows up. Not panic. Not sadness. Just that tight, heavy, restless feeling in your chest. The one that says: “Something about my life isn’t right.” You don’t even know how to explain it anymore. You just know: Your days blur together You’re tired of feeling this way You feel disconnected from yourself You’re always managing,...
I want to share something small but important that happened today. It’s Taylor Swift’s birthday, and my wife and one of our friends are huge fans. So today we went to a Taylor-themed bingo event. Nothing big. Nothing dramatic. Just a couple of hours doing something they love. But here’s the part that matters: A year ago, I wouldn’t have gone. Not because I didn’t want to or care. But because the voice in my head… the one I call Gerald… would’ve been loud as hell. And to be clear… that voice...
