Becoming HER by Leslie Jackson
Welcome to Becoming HER, your weekly straight-talk for ambitious women who refuse to settle for mediocrity. Every Wednesday, Leslie pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to build top-tier health, heal the root causes of chronic inflammation, and step into the most powerful version of yourself.
You’ll get the real Leslie—her journey, the behind-the-scenes of her life, and the exact strategies she uses to take women from tired, puffy, and insecure to bold, bad-ass, and hot AF. This is for the woman who wants to walk into any room—boardroom or bedroom—knowing she’s that b*tch.
This is where the baddies come to hear the voices they need and learn from women who are running the game—the trailblazers who healed their bodies, stepped into their power, and built heart-led, wildly impactful lives.
If you’re ready to ditch the symptoms holding you back—weight-loss resistance, fatigue, bloating, breakouts, brain fog—and step into your highest, hottest, most ambitious self…
You’re in the right place.

In this episode, I sit down with Australian physiotherapist, founder of Athletic Rebuild, and dear friend of mine Tayla Cannon, for an honest conversation about why women are exhausted, inflamed, in pain… and still being told their labs are “normal.”
We’re breaking down the biggest lie in modern healthcare: Treating symptoms instead of addressing root causes.
In this episode, we chat:
- Why chronic pain isn’t always about the injured body part
- The massive connection between gut health, inflammation & joint pain
- Why “normal labs” don’t mean optimal health
- The stress hormone piece most doctors aren’t testing (and why it matters for weight gain)
- How blood sugar instability affects every woman, not just diabetics
- Why calories in/calories out is an outdated metabolism model
- The nervous system’s role in fat storage, hormone imbalance & chronic fatigue
- How brain wiring reinforces pain patterns (even when tissue has healed)
- The dangerous identity trap of calling yourself an “IBS girly” or “PCOS girly”
- The difference between symptom management and real transformation
