Internationally best-selling author and creator of an 8 figure creative company Leonie Dawson (dat's me!) brings her ridiculous sense of humour and wild oversharing to the podcast world! What is this podcast about? Who f*cking knows! It's all a glorious mystery! But it will likely be a delicious buffet of self help, business, creativity, marketing, family and life... and I might just introduce you to some of my favourite people if I'm called. Mostly, I'm just here to create and share... and hope that it touches your heart in just the way it needs. (Pronouns: She/They)

Vzlee ,

Straight up and hilarious.

Leonie is just my cup of tea and I love this podcast. I had the pleasure of meeting Leonie over lunch a few years back and these episodes are just like that, full of inspiration, information and giggles.

White privileged performative feminism

Leonies latest episode about “not listening to the news” because it makes me stressed… was my tipping point. As a long time listener- I finally reached my tipping point with this episode. While nearly 20k Palestinians have been slaughtered now in Gaza…Leonie hears her husband talk about what’s happening in the Red Sea…and ponders the fact “its complicated” and she doesn’t want to upset her white fragile infantile world view… before saying “i’ve got to go to my chiropractor”…… For someone who righteously preached at others to get vaxed and also learn about the struggle of black and indigenous peoples…. turns out when Genocide is on the table at the ICC…Leonie can’t push past her infantile issues to find words that say- genocide is not ok. No longer a listener and my girlfriends feel the same. Byyyyyeeeeeeeeee

Beetheartist ,

Leonie is so funny, her podcasts brightens my day

I just need to Leonie’s her high quality musical intro to start smiling. She is a wise and wonderful goddess and she makes me laugh my head off. Total win.
