Midlife Transitions Specialist | television host of Awakened with Lea: The Next chapter.

Midlife can be a a time of big transitions filled with fear, self-doubt and uncertainty. I support women over 40 who are at a crossroads in their lives to gain the clarity and confidence to make powerful choices and create their best life chapter yet.

Lea's Story

When I turned my own life around, I made it my personal mission to support as many people as I can through my coaching business and television show...

Today, I’m a Midlife Transitions Specialist who guides clients through a transformational path by supporting them in breaking the destructive cycle of masking, so they can finally own their truth, be free to seen and claim their next chapter as the most powerful versions of themselves.

I believe there are so many extraordinary people with incredible stories to tell, and yet know one would know their truth. They wear the mask so well, hiding behind their roles, hiding behind their status, hiding behind the cycles that keep them living for someone else, that no one would see the invisible struggle.

I made the biggest transition of my life at midlife. It was a rude awakening: I realized I’d been living out of alignment with my TRUTH and my deeper VALUES.

For most of my life, there was a disconnect between my self worth, confidence and resilience. Growing up in an immigrant family and first generation Canadian, I struggled with a sense of belonging in early childhood due to language barriers, weight struggles and a tense home environment. Not feeling valued or worthy, I developed my first coping mechanism of emotional eating — which only reinforced my disconnection from myself and how I fit in at school. I pursued a satisfying career in dental hygiene for 29 years. I married my high school boyfriend and inadvertently entered a relationship that echoed the emotional distress of my childhood, Soon after, I developed my second coping mechanism: alcohol which led me down a dark path of hopelessness.

My life was a constant journey of transitions, and until I learned the gift of alignment, I was not living a life that truly reflected who I was meant to be in the world.

It took me until midlife to find that alignment, and make the necessary changes to step into my true power. Sobriety, and leaning into my support system gave me the greatest gift of all.

Connection to myself, bringing with it the confidence and trust within to feel the freedom from my past, so that I could step into my personal chapter in an empowering way, using the past to create whatever I wanted in the now.

Re-evaluating my marriage, and recognizing the relationship needed to change, divorce ensued bringing with it an array of emotions. Working through those emotions were critical in maintaining continued growth, confidence and the ability to co-parent and reach a level of mutual respect and friendship.

With the Clarity and Confidence gained I was able to see so many opportunities instead of challenges which opened so many doors. At fifty, with focus and determination, I returned to school to become a Certified Professional Coach, Energy Leadership Master Practitioner and COR.E Transitions Dynamics Specialist, leaving behind my career as a dental hygienist.

After my own personal healing and revelations, I was able to focus on the impact I desired to create in the world. I believe that everyone deserves a life of freedom, fulfillment and satisfaction. As a natural empath and intuitive, creating a safe space of trust for people to feel heard and seen is an essential part of our journey together in being visible in our vulnerability.

Our beliefs create our reality and at any given moment, we can change the narrative.

"You need to belong to yourself FIRST" Give yourself the opportunity to discover the truth of who you really are and cultivate an inner sense of trust to pursue your path of desire.

My life’s purpose is to be a catalyst for people to awaken to the truth of who they are own their truth and be free to be seen.

My personal journey to fulfilment, health, peace, love and joy has enabled me to become a supportive partner for you. I identify with the invisible struggle and the destructive cycle of masking, along with the deep-seated fears and self-doubt that arise at different chapters in our lives. Together, we can create a road map to consciously create the next chapter of your life in alignment with your values and deeper truth.

Here’s to powerfully and confidently embarking on your next chapter.
