My Story

I'm Leslie Born. I delight in spending time with my nieces and nephews, good food, and conversations with friends. Although I enjoy adventurous activities, it's becoming less extreme over the years - especially after my attempt at mountain biking last year. Yikes. 

 

​Around the age of 26 I started realizing that something wasn't right with me. I noticed long-time behavioral patterns that were different from my peers. They seemed successful in areas like relationships, career, self-perception, romance, their futures. As much as I masked my shortcomings, I noticed that my limitations in these areas all stemmed from feelings of fear. 

 

​This was my starting point: Lost, but moving forward! For several years I took all the leaps of faith to solve my puzzle. When I became curious, when I decided to listen to myself and believe myself, when I became a seeker of truth, when I adopted a heart of courage and love - that’s when doors opened. 

 

I have walked through valleys of shame and terrains of fear-filled behaviors, all pointing me to the trauma I experienced, starting from early childhood. I have come to know that for those of us who have experienced trauma during childhood and adolescence, we have adapted fear-driven harmful beliefs in order to survive. We carry those beliefs with us into adulthood, unrecognized and tainting our ability to live a happy life. 

 

​Throughout my quest of healing my motto has been, "What's next?"  After each layer of the onion had been peeled away, after each breakthrough or step taken, I'd ask myself: "What's next?" 

 

This phrase has been my motivator and cheerleader as I trudged through rough waters, swamplands, and unknown territory. Most importantly, it has allowed me to dance through meadows filled with wildflowers - safe and free.  

 

​Are you resonating with any of this? Is the real you locked away inside? Are you ruled by fear-based beliefs cultivated from trauma during childhood or adolescence? You might notice: 

• Detrimental people-pleasing

• Role-playing (you have to be a certain way/person around certain people to ensure they are happy)

• Beliefs that love is conditional and/or you are not worthy of love 

• You don’t know yourself. Your interests, hobbies, likes/dislikes, desires, goals. 

 

​If this is you and you're ready to empower yourself over your past and change from victim to victor of your life, opening doors to beautiful and fulfilling opportunities that are now waiting for you, because you are worthy of the life you desire and deserve, then it's time to ask yourself, what's next?
