In this episode, Leslie sits down with Cytel Schultz for a deep conversation about authenticity, intuition, astrology, business alignment, and the connection between body, purpose, and success. Together, they explore how understanding yourself more deeply can transform not only your business and relationships but also your relationship with food, body image, and emotional well-being.
Cytel shares her unexpected journey into astrology and entrepreneurship, explaining how learning to trust her intuition and spiritual guidance completely changed the direction of her life and business. Leslie and Cytel discuss the power of honoring your authentic communication style, why some people thrive through speaking while others thrive through writing, and how self-awareness creates confidence, alignment, and healthier relationships.
The conversation also dives into emotional eating, body trust, spirituality, AI, feminine energy in business, and how caring for your body can dramatically expand your capacity for creativity and impact. Leslie reflects on how healing the deeper emotional patterns underneath food and weight struggles allows women to finally create lives that feel meaningful, aligned, and fulfilling.
Whether you're struggling with perfectionism, trying to find your purpose, or looking for a more aligned way to grow your business and life, this episode is a reminder that true transformation begins with understanding yourself.
