Testimonials

“My time with Leslie gave me hope, inspiration and a sense of peace and calm. I felt grounded and connected to my true voice. I was clear headed and could see the old patterns and behaviors creeping back into how I was showing up in my relationship. Leslie helped me create a plan, shared tools and techniques to use during trigger times - ultimately she helped guide me back to my own inner wisdom and power.”

Diana L.
“Few people bring more energy, excitement, and massive courage to the stage than Leslie Lew. Her talks are inspiring, dynamic, and, massively motivating, so you want to take action immediately. Leslie brings theory into reality. She shows you tangibly what you can do to reclaim your courage, step into your power, and own your space the way you have always wanted to but been too scared to try. You can literally see the audience begin to reclaim their own courage and voice in real time during her talks.”

Jeff H.
“After one conversation with Leslie, I was able to turn what was previously a very anxiety inducing situation into one of the most empowering moments in my life.For months I lived in fear of confronting my gaslighting, sh*thead neighbor whose consistently off leash dog attacked my dogs twice in two months. Leslie helped me identify the root cause of my fear, helped me formulate my statement (what I would say to him next time), and after intentionally practicing my messaging as she coached me to do, the third time his dog tried to bite mine (no joke) I was able to yell at him to take accountability, I was able to call the police, and I was able to hold back tears as I told the officers my story. ”

“Anyone who wants to learn about self defense and gain practical skills to protect themselves in unexpected situations will benefit from Leslie’s workshop. I feel engaged during this experience and left feeling more empowered. My identity as a small, AAPI female does not mean I should feel vulnerable and there are simple things I can do to reclaim my courage.”

"Prior to working with Leslie, self-defense and setting boundaries felt like something that my people-pleasing self just couldn’t bring myself to do. Leslie helped me feel safe and got me connected with my voice and my body in a grounded and empowering way that helped me tap into a power I didn’t even know I had within me."Prior to working with Leslie, self-defense and setting boundaries felt like something that my people-pleasing self just couldn’t bring myself to do.
