Why is it so hard for us to love ourselves? I have been thinking about this a lot lately. A reel I recorded the other day cracked something open. I am 36, almost 37, and I can honestly say I spent most of my life not liking who I was. Not because I was broken. But because of what I learned before I ever had words. As a little girl, I related to my mom. Most girls do. And looking back now, I can see she never loved herself. She never healed her wounds. I did not decide to hate myself. I absorbed it. We emulate our parents. Their beliefs become our inner voice. Their unhealed trauma becomes our normal. Add emotionally unavailable parents. A divorce at ten. A car accident at twelve that killed my brother. Add on society... expectations... life shit... And silence around all of it. No conversations. No processing. Just survival. So I grew up hating myself and thinking that was just… life. Generations of hurt. Generations of victimhood. Generations of pretending we are fine. It makes sense why so many of us struggle with self-love. The shift started when I stopped asking, “What is wrong with me?” And started asking, “Where did this come from?” That is why I built The LIST Method™ app. To help you trace the story back to the root without shame so you can stop carrying what was never yours. ​Follow the thread back to where your self-talk began and decide what gets to stay.​ PROUD OF YOU 💙 Walking with you, Leasha P.S.

You have been here for a bit now, Reader. Reading.Thinking.Showing up. I do not take that lightly. That is exactly why I think you would be perfect for this. I am relaunching my coaching program soon. But before I do… I want it built for the right people. The ones who: Overthink everything. Question if they are doing enough. Feel stuck in patterns they cannot break. Are trying to rewrite family cycles without a roadmap. I have launched before. This time, I want it sharper. Built around what...
I had 4 hours of sleep last night. Up at 6. Reading Meditation Stretching Trash out to the street Walk Then Spark deliveries all day. It is 8pm and I am just getting home. I am exhausted. And if I am honest? Gerald was loud today. You know that voice. “Are you doing enough?”“Does this even matter?”“Who do you think you are?”“What if you never build the life you see in your head?” I questioned everything. When you are trying to break generations of trauma, poverty, survival mode… some days it...
SEATTLE WON THE SUPER BOWL. 🏆💙 LET’S. FUCKING. GO. Ok. Now that my nervous system is riding a Seahawks high… Here is what hit me today while I was out driving. Car after car passed me. Heads down. Eyes glued to phones. Barely looking at the road. And I thought, this is how most people live. Heads down in life. On autopilot. No awareness of what is happening around them. No awareness of what is happening inside them. No awareness of where they are even heading. Then they crash. Burnout....
