This is the conversation most women are too afraid to have out loud.
I sit down with the incredible Leslie Kaye, businesswoman, mother, wife, and unapologetic truth-teller, for one of the most raw, honest and potentially activating episodes to ever land on Anything Goes.
Lezley's story starts where so many women's do: following the plan. Married by thirty. Baby by thirty-two. Million dollar business. The bougie office with river views. The life that looked exactly like success from the outside.. but felt completely suffocating from within.
What followed was one of the bravest unravellings I have gotten to hear on the podcast. Lezley walked into her house one day, told her husband to leave, and began the long, messy, beautiful journey back to herself, through breathwork, tantra, plant medicine, an Egypt pilgrimage, and eighteen months of radical self-reclamation. All while raising a son. All while running a business. All while learning, for the first time in thirty-two years, how to actually feel.
In this episode, we go deep on the questions most women are too afraid to ask themselves, let alone answer out loud.
We talk about the motherhood martyrdom myth and why losing yourself in your children is not noble, it's harmful. We go deep in to the compromise lie, the story we tell ourselves to stay in relationships, jobs and versions of ourselves we outgrew years ago.
We also cover what it actually means to choose yourself when you're a mother, and why that choice is the greatest gift you can give your child and we get into sexuality, polarity, and what it really means to come home to yourself as a woman. And they speak to the woman who is standing in front of her mirror right now, lightning bolt moment building, terrified of what choosing herself might unravel.
This episode is not here to make you comfortable. It's here to make you honest.
If you've ever sacrificed your happiness in the name of being a good mother, a good wife, or a good woman - this one's for you.
