84. Thriving Mindfully With Ananda Leeke

November 16, 2022

Are you living in mindfulness and as the real you? To thrive mindfully means uncovering the real you and choosing to live in the present moment. As a woman over 40, this is your time to start treating and celebrating yourself by practicing self-love and self-care. Let go of your limiting beliefs and start focusing on the most important things in your life like your physical and mental health.

In this episode of the For Kick-Ass Women Only podcast, we have Ananda Leeke, a thriving mindfully coach, and author. She discovered mindfulness, self-care, and wellness when her career as a lawyer, an investment banker, and a digital communications professional stressed her out and caused burnout. She describes the mess she experienced from suppressing her real self and the lessons she learned to start showing up authentically.

Listen in to learn the importance of being present, spending time with yourself, and having check-ins to see if you’re still showing up authentically. You will also learn how to affirm yourself, honor your body, reclaim your time, serve yourself, and celebrate yourself.
