Hello

“I was getting straight A’s and making honor roll, but I was making really bad choices with friends. I wanted to fit in with this group so badly that I didn’t even walk away when they started bullying me. My teachers and parents kept warning me, but I thought it wasn’t that serious.

Everything changed when I got suspended for fighting with those same kids two days before school ended. I was so embarrassed – I had perfect grades but got suspended anyway. I was also being mean to my little brother at home without even realizing it.

Working with Coach Leigh has been amazing because she makes everything feel like a video game quest, which I love. We use these worksheets where my goals are like quests with bosses to overcome and points to earn. One of my biggest quests is treating my brother with patience and kindness. We even planned out exactly how I’ll react when he frustrates me.

The ‘I am…’ exercise really opened my eyes. I had to write down qualities that describe me, and I realized I actually am a good person with lots of great qualities. I just wasn’t respecting myself. We add to the list every week and talk about it, and I’m learning to see myself in a better light.

I officially cut off that old friend group and I’m focused on making real friends next year. Coach Leigh is teaching me about having strong principles and values, and I genuinely want to do better. I’m still working through my quests, but I feel completely different. Like someone I’m proud to be.”

“Watching my daughter struggle with anxiety before cheer tryouts was heartbreaking. She’s incredibly talented. She’s been training since she was five, but the self-doubt was consuming her. She was getting physically sick before every practice, and honestly, my own anxiety about her anxiety was making everything worse.

Leigh helped me and my daughter understand how our anxieties were feeding off each other. The morning routine she created for us was brilliant and worked immediately. My daughter stopped getting sick, started believing in herself again, and made varsity as a freshman!

What I appreciated most was how Leigh helped my daughter develop real coping strategies and confidence that will serve her far beyond cheer. She gave us both tools we still use today. This coaching experience was truly life-changing for our whole family.”

“I’ve been doing cheer and tumbling since I was five, and making the high school team was one of my biggest dreams. But as tryouts got closer, I started doubting myself so much. I would literally get sick to my stomach before practices because I was so nervous about not being good enough or embarrassing myself.

Working with Coach Leigh completely changed everything for me. She helped me stop asking ‘what if I don’t make it?’ and start planning what I’d actually do in different situations. We watched my performance videos together and she helped me see my real strengths instead of just focusing on what I thought was wrong. The morning routine we created was a game-changer and I stopped getting sick at practice completely!

The best part? I didn’t just make JV like I was hoping – I made VARSITY as a freshman! I still can’t believe it. Coach Leigh didn’t just help me make the team, she taught me how to believe in myself again.”

“When I started working with Leigh, I was feeling miserable. I had an office job that was destroying my mental health – I was being talked down to daily and felt trapped because of my financial obligations. I was isolating myself from everyone and honestly felt lost about who I was supposed to be.

The biggest breakthrough came when Leigh asked me: ‘If you could do anything for a living and were guaranteed to succeed, what would you choose?’ I told her about my love for music. I’ve been playing piano since I was three, but I’d never really considered it as a viable career path because I thought I had to be ‘practical’ with my degree.

Working with her, I created a plan that felt impossible at first but totally doable when we broke it down: find a better finance job, start studying music production part-time, and gradually transition toward my real passion. She also helped me learn something I’d never been able to do, which is set boundaries and say no to people.

The results speak for themselves. I found a better-paying, more prestigious job, quit the toxic workplace, looking into music production classes, and I’m actually investing in myself now – therapy, self-care, and practicing piano every weekend. Most importantly, I’m learning to value myself and stand up for what I need.

Leigh didn’t just help me change jobs – she helped me reconnect with my authentic self and gave me permission to pursue what actually brings me joy. I’m still working with her because the transformation continues, and I’m grateful every day that I took that first step.”
