After a long pause (hello, February → end of September!), this episode marks a fresh start for this podcast. I’ve been soul-searching about where my work adds the most value and what I really want to create next. Interviewing Leonie was the nudge I needed so here I am re-committing. Thank you for being here!

Today's guest:

Leonie is the founder of the Brilliant Biz and Life Academy (affiliate link).  If you haven’t met them yet... you’re in for a treat! She really is completely unlike any of the other business coaches out there! 

🦄 Leonie has sold over $13 million in less than 10 hours a week (!!!!) 

🦄 They are the winner of a bunch of business awards including AusMumpreneur People’s Choice Business Coach Award, Global Brand Award and the Business Making a Dierence Award. 

🦄 Leonie is a globally best-selling author of her goal workbooks (half a million books used worldwide!) 

🦄 They’ve been featured in Forbes, The Australian, HuPost, Business Heroine, BrandYou, the ABC and a tonne of other places 

🦄 Leonie’s also very out and proud about being neurodivergent (she has been diagnosed with ASD & ADHD). 

🦄 If you don’t like swearing... you are probably in the wrong place! Leonie is a self-confessed swear bear. 

She’s the real deal... someone who has created a huge amount of success in their own life & pays it forward by sharing her wisdom with other entrepreneurs. 


What we talk about:

  • Intuition vs Logic isn’t either/or. Leonie frames it as a generous and — two tools in one toolkit.
  • When intuition “doesn’t work.” Following a nudge isn’t a guarantee of outcome; sometimes the lesson is in the path, not the prize.
  • The overthinking trap. Why perfectionism freezes action and how to get back to playful experimenting.
  • Weaving it all together. Strategy + mindset + energy + healing — and why community support matters.
  • Practical rituals. Cards, journaling, and quick ways to check your conscious answer against a soul answer.
