    You Don't Have to Let Your Identity Die to Transform with Stephanie Canavesion and Leonora Be You

    She was modeling in New York at 13. Living alone at 14. By her twenties, she had the house, the career, the applause and a mirror she couldn't look into without hating who looked back. In this conversation, somatic psychotherapist Stephanie Canavasio traces the exact moment she hit rock bottom, the work with Gabor Maté that rebuilt her from the body up, and why she now believes suffering isn't something to escape — it's information. Leonora and Stephanie go deep into compassionate inquiry, spiritual bypassing ("I have a PhD in it," Stephanie jokes), and the indigenous wisdom-keeper tradition of turning a community's most broken people into its most trusted guides. This is a conversation about coming home to a body you spent years running from and why the old systems, the old coping mechanisms, the old identities, don't necessarily have to die for you to become someone new.

    Why The Second Half Is The Best Half with Tanya Kazeminy and Leonora Be You

    What happens when you sell your $12 million business, leave your marriage, and are left standing with nothing but yourself? For Tanya Kazeminy, it was the beginning of the real work. In this conversation, Leonora and Tanya go deep into what it actually means to return to yourself — not the Instagram version, but the raw, uncomfortable, life-changing kind. We talk about why perfectionism is quietly destroying women, how to rebuild a relationship with your own inner voice, the power of self-pleasure as a practice, and why menopause is not the beginning of the end — it's the beginning of your most powerful chapter. Tanya is an entrepreneur, author of GASP!, and founder of Wisdom Women. She teaches love, self-relationship, and the intersection of spirituality and sexuality. This episode will stay with you. Tune in, then close your eyes and ask yourself: Can I love myself exactly as I am right now?

    The Day I Stopped Trying to Control: How One Breath Changed Everything with Leonora Be You and Mirjam Gaggl

    What if the version of you that is most exhausted, most full, most "in control" is actually the version furthest from yourself? In this episode of Now Be You, Leonora sits with Mirjam Gaggl — medium, energy worker, and founder of the School of Silence — for a conversation that begins in grief and ends in one single breath that has the power to reset a whole life. Mirjam shares the moment everything she built collapsed: a corporate career as a lawyer, a marriage to a soulmate, a "9 to 5" life — and then her husband's transition, eight years ago, which opened her to a different room. She talks about the alchemical process that no one signs up for but everyone goes through, about hearing a voice under an olive tree in Croatia that gave her the entire structure of the School of Silence, and about why silence is not a technique you need to learn but a vibration that is already here. Together they explore: how to feel held when you feel lost, why the most successful women in leadership are often the most disconnected from themselves, what divine transmission actually feels like in the body, and — most powerfully — Mirjam guides Leonora (and you) through the Quantum Stillness Drop, a single-exhale practice that takes ten seconds and can be done while driving, in a meeting, brushing your teeth, or sitting on the toilet. This is an episode for the woman who is exhausted by her own pace. For the one who has read the books and still hasn't felt it. For the one quietly grieving someone, or some version of herself she used to be. Less is more. And with that — life becomes more, and more, and more. 🤍 New conversations and guided audio practices land on the Now Be You Substack — a space to slow down, think clearly, and reconnect with yourself in the middle of a full life. 🤍 Connect with Mirjam: School of Silence www.mirjamgaggl.com    🤍 Connect with Leonora: leonorabeyou.com  🤍 Take the elemental energy quiz: nowbeyou.scoreapp.com  🤍 Subscribe on Substack: nowbeyou.substack.com

    Schedule yourself like a board meeting — Dr. Tamsin Lewis in conversation with Leonora Be You on resilience and self-preservation

    What does it really take to stay yourself in a body, and a life, that keeps asking more of you? In this conversation, Leonora sits with Dr. Tamsin Lewis — a medical doctor with a BSc in Neuroscience & the Biology of Ageing and performance expert — to explore what science and lived experience can teach women leaders about resilience, hormones and the quiet signals our body sends long before we burn out. Tam shares her own turning points: years as an Ironman triathlete, a traumatic brain injury, a health crisis at the start of the pandemic — and what they revealed about the limits of pushing harder. Together they explore why high-intensity training can keep us stuck in stress, how the adrenal glands buffer the hormonal shifts of midlife, and why scheduling yourself like a board meeting may be one of the most generous things you can do for your nervous system. A slow, honest conversation about energy — physical, hormonal, energetic — and a reminder that sustainable health begins with understanding your why.

    The Woman Who Built a Space Industry Without a Roadmap | Deborah Sass

    In this episode of Now Be You, Leonora Be You sits with Deborah Sass — visionary CEO of Spacevrse, activist, art philanthropist, and one of the most fire-driven women you'll meet. Deborah's path has no roadmap. She left Los Angeles for Bali after reading Eat Pray Love, fell in love, moved to Ibiza, and somewhere along the way found herself at the centre of the space industry — building a global community of over 60 million people, without a formal education and without permission. This is a conversation about what it really costs to stay yourself while building something the world hasn't seen before. About the difference between passion and burnout. About giving back from a full cup, not a cup that is leaking. And about one of the most quietly radical reframes a woman can make — to stop being the supporting act in her own life. If you are a woman carrying a vision, walking through a season of doubt, or wondering how to keep moving when the no's keep coming — this one is for you. Press play. Stay yourself.

    From Hollywood to Freedom: Why I Chose Myself Over Success | Sanny Van He

    What does it actually cost you to stay yourself in a world that keeps asking you to be someone else? In this episode, I sit down with Sanny Van Heteren — actress, producer, entrepreneur, and mother — a woman who has lived multiple lives and chosen herself every single time. From being a child star navigating the glamour and toxicity of Hollywood, to becoming a mother at 40 and rebuilding everything from the ground up — Sanny's story is not about success. It's about alignment. We talk honestly about what it's like to watch famous, wealthy people and realize they are not free. About standing in audition rooms knowing something is fundamentally wrong. About a moment on a beach in Hawaii — a conversation with a stranger — that cracked open a whole new possibility. And we go deep into something that matters to all of us who lead and carry responsibility: what does authentic leadership actually look like from the inside? Not the version we perform. The version we live. This conversation is full of real moments, laughter, and the kind of truth that only comes when two women decide to drop the script and speak honestly. You will leave with something — I promise. In this episode: Why success without freedom is not the goalThe toxicity Sanny witnessed in Hollywood — and how she protected her integrityHow becoming a mother at 40 changed everything she thought she knewWhat authenticity actually is (and the mistake most women make about it)The practice that brings you back to your own inner voice — when you have no time to meditateFaith, the quantum field, and why anything is possible when you break the barriers of your beliefA book recommendation that Sanny says changed her lifeBook mentioned: A Happy Pocket Full of Money by David Cameron Gikandi Subscribe to the Now Be You Substack for guided audio practices and deeper reflections between episodes.

    Sensing Your Way Back to Yourself. Leonora Be You with Marie Su Loher

    She had the life. She had the dream. And then she felt nothing. In this episode I'm in conversation with Marie Su Loher — multidisciplinary sensory artist, expressive art therapy facilitator, and founder of Inner Vision. Marie's path has moved across countries, cultures, the military, the London fashion world, motherhood — and a full reinvention of herself. Not once. Many times. We go into the kind of conversations most women keep private: what self-doubt is really telling you, why control makes it worse, and the moment she sat on a sofa in London with a one-month-old baby and told her husband four words: I'm out. I'm done. We also go into her daily rituals, nervous system regulation, elements, sensory art, playfulness, and why your inner child never actually left you. This is for the woman who is doing everything right — and still feels like something is missing. You'll hear:→ Why self-doubt rises loudest when you force control→ Marie's 3 non-negotiable daily rituals (and the real reason they work)→ The turning point that made her leave a thriving fashion brand→ What Inner Vision is and how it brings you home to yourself through the senses→ Working with Earth, Water, Fire and Air as a map back to your soul→ Why playfulness is not a treat — it's your nature→ Somatic dance as medicine — and why Marie recommends it to every woman Continue this conversation on Now Be You Substack — a space to slow down, think clearly, and reconnect with yourself.

    Lead From Within: The Inner Work Behind Real Power. Leonora Be You with Shani Lehrer

    What does it really mean to lead from within? In this first podcast episode of 2026, Leonora Be You is joined by strategic consultant and Sound Sanctum founder Shani Lehrer for a powerful conversation on inner leadership, authenticity, nervous system balance, and the courage to stop performing strength and start embodying it. Together they explore the hidden split between outer success and inner truth, why so many leaders stay trapped in cycles of pressure and overdrive, how unhealed patterns shape businesses and relationships, and why real power begins the moment we pause, listen, and choose differently. This is an episode for women who lead, hold a lot, and are ready to create from clarity rather than survival. If this conversation resonated, I share deeper reflectionsand guided audio practices in Now Be You Substack — a space to slow down, think clearly, and reconnect with yourself in the middle of a full life.   And a few times each year, we bring this work into real lifethrough carefully curated retreats, where leading women step away from the noise, reflect, and return with clarity and renewed direction.   Subscribe to Now Be You Substack and find out more.
