    Finding Presence and Power: Leanne on Sound, Creativity, and the Feminine

    In this episode I’m joined by Leanne, a woman whose work is rooted in helping others slow down, reconnect with themselves, and find presence in everyday life. Leanne shares her personal journey from working in an environment that left her feeling drained, to reaching a breaking point and realising she needed more, more space, more stillness, and more meaning. From there she discovered sound baths, found a community of like-minded souls, began creating music as Yan Soleil, and developed her unique path into embodiment photography. We explore what presence really means in day-to-day life, pausing before we rush into things, creating space for ideas and creativity to flow, and remembering that some of the most powerful practices for peace, stillness, and clarity are completely free. Leanne also opens up about feminine energy, what it actually is, how the “divine feminine” shows up in our lives, and how women can begin to embody it more fully. We talk about pleasure without guilt, listening to the wisdom of the body, and the magic that happens when women come together in safe and supportive spaces. This is a gentle yet deeply inspiring conversation about honouring your own rhythms, embracing creativity, and finding empowerment through presence.

    Conscious Connected Breath Healing With Shakila

    In this episode of Exist Better Conscious Conversations, I speak with Shakila about her transformative journey with conscious connected breath and the profound healing it has brought to her own life as well as the lives of others. We explore the benefits of this powerful practice, how it supports deep transformation, and what you can expect in a conscious connected breath session. Shakila shares how the breath can be a tool for release, clarity, and awakening, offering both personal and collective healing. She also talks about Medicine Tribe, a community she created to bring different modalities together into one space. Instead of attending separate classes for practices such as ecstatic dance, sound healing, yoga, or conscious connected breath, Medicine Tribe invites people to experience them collectively. It is about community becoming tribe, and tribe becoming medicine. Find Shakila on Instagram @lifefirehealingarts Discover more about Medicine Tribe @medicinetribe.love Some benefits of Conscious Connected Breath Shakila has shared: • Enhanced emotional regulation • Reduced anxiety & stress relief  • Trauma processing – deep releases & realisations of CPTSD • Increased self-awareness • Release of fear • Lower blood pressure & reduced heart rate • Increased energy levels • Physical ailment – improvement & cure • Stress reduction & management • Recognising & moving beyond limiting beliefs • Improved coping skills • Expanded consciousness • Personal transformation & alignment with purpose  • Enhanced gratitude • Deeper calling into one’s practices
