    Can I hold two conflicting feelings at the same time? | Learning to live in duality

    In this episode of One Question, we explore the messy middle of being human: the ability to hold two conflicting feelings at the same time. From grief and relief, to love and anger, to joy and sorrow—duality shows up everywhere in our lives. Psychology calls it cognitive dissonance, philosophy calls it paradox, and spirituality calls it duality. Whatever the name, the invitation is the same: stop rushing to choose one side and instead practice holding both. The question is: Can I hold two conflicting feelings at the same time?

  2. Which emotions do I allow myself to feel? | Expanding the box of what’s “acceptable”

    Which emotions do I allow myself to feel? | Expanding the box of what’s “acceptable”

    We are all born with the full spectrum of emotions — but most of us quickly learn that only some are “allowed.” Happiness is always safe. Men are often permitted anger. Women are allowed sadness. But confusion, fear, disappointment, or rage? Those are pushed aside, minimized, or punished. In this week’s episode of One Question, I explore how families, culture, and systems like patriarchy and capitalism narrow the range of emotions we feel safe expressing. I share my own story of growing up as the youngest of five — where crying, fear, and hopefulness were labeled as crybaby, scaredy-cat, or Pollyanna — and how that shaped the way I learned to flatten my emotions. Together, we’ll reflect on why emotions are not weaknesses but signals, how suppression only makes them stronger, and why finding safe people — whether loved ones, coaches, or therapists — is essential. This week’s question is simple, but it may open a door: Which emotions do you allow yourself to feel?

    What Are You Ready to Forgive Yourself For? | The Weight of Old Stories

    What’s something you’re still beating yourself up for—even though the moment has long passed? In this episode, Leah explores the neuroscience of regret, the gendered expectations around self-forgiveness, and the cultural stories that keep us stuck in shame. This isn’t about making excuses or avoiding accountability. It’s about naming the places where you’ve taken responsibility, learned the lesson, and still carry the weight. What if it’s time to put that story down? This week’s question: What are you ready to forgive yourself for?

  4. When did I stop being a beginner — and do I want that back? | On expertise, curiosity, and the courage to start again.

    When did I stop being a beginner — and do I want that back? | On expertise, curiosity, and the courage to start again.

    We spend so much of life trying to arrive — to be the expert, the one who knows. But what if there’s something essential we lose when we leave our beginner self behind? This episode explores what it means to hold both confidence and curiosity, especially in times of change. Whether you’re shifting careers, moving countries, raising kids, or learning to let go of ego, this is an invitation to reconnect with the aliveness of not knowing — and to ask yourself: When did I stop being a beginner — and do I want that back?

  5. Why Do I Keep Carrying Stories That Don’t Belong to Me? | Emptying Your Pockets

    Why Do I Keep Carrying Stories That Don’t Belong to Me? | Emptying Your Pockets

    Sometimes the heaviest burdens we carry aren’t ours at all. They’re the stories, labels, and quiet messages we’ve picked up from other people — and over time, they’ve become part of how we see ourselves. This week’s One Question explores why we hold on to these inherited narratives, how they shape our identity, and what it takes to finally set them down. Through a childhood memory of walking with my dad, pockets full of rocks, we’ll talk about the science of how identity stories form, why we keep believing them even when they’re untrue, and the small but powerful ways we can release them. If you’ve been feeling weighed down, this might be your invitation to empty your pockets.

  6. What Am I Pretending Not to Know? | The truths we avoid have the most power to set us free.

    10 THG 8

    What Am I Pretending Not to Know? | The truths we avoid have the most power to set us free.

    We all do it. We look away from the thing we already know, because facing it might require us to change. This week’s One Question explores the psychology of self-deception, the quiet relief that comes from telling yourself the truth, and why naming what you’re pretending not to know is the first step toward freedom. Through the story of Maya, a client who avoided admitting her marriage was over, my own experience leaving accounting, and a surprising confession from tennis legend Andre Agassi, we’ll explore how pretending not to know drains us, and how honesty with ourselves can open the door to the life we actually want.

  7. How Would You Live Without Fear of the Future? | The life you want begins the moment you stop bracing for impact.

    How Would You Live Without Fear of the Future? | The life you want begins the moment you stop bracing for impact.

    This week’s question is: How would I live my life if I wasn’t worried about the future at all? In a world filled with uncertainty and fear, it’s easy to let worry drive our choices — at work, at home, and in our relationships. In this episode, Leah explores what it might look like to live, lead, and love from a place of trust instead of fear. Drawing from psychology, somatic wisdom, and leadership insights, Leah unpacks how chronic worry narrows our thinking, dims our joy, and limits our impact — and how we can start shifting, even in small ways, toward a more grounded and courageous way of being. A short but powerful reflection on hope, presence, and the possibility of joy — even when the future feels unclear.

    How Do You Know When Something is Truly Over? | Spoiler Alert: Your body usually knows before your mind does.

    How do you know when something is truly over? In this episode, Leah explores the subtle signals we often ignore...gut feelings, body cues, and the quiet voice that tells us when a job, relationship, or belief has run its course. Through a personal story about leaving the church and trusting her intuition, Leah invites you to notice the truth your body already knows. Because sometimes, the real question isn’t “Is it over?”—it’s “Am I willing to listen?”
