    Ep 282 How Your Not Mastering Your Weight is Affecting Your Business Growth

    Are you a high-achieving leader struggling to align your personal life with the success you’ve built professionally? Despite outward accomplishments, do you feel weighed down by inner turmoil, an unhealthy relationship with food, or self-doubt about your ability to maintain consistent habits? These challenges may be silently holding you back from reaching your full potential.

    Many leaders face the hidden struggle of perfectionism, emotional suppression, and negative self-talk, often leaving them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of integrity. These unresolved issues can lead to distractions, burnout, and dissatisfaction, even as you push forward professionally. Without addressing these underlying blocks, true happiness, confidence, and sustainable growth remain out of reach.

    Transformation begins with taking an honest look inward and committing to deeper emotional mastery. By addressing your struggles through tools like Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming [NLP], and aligned action, you can overcome the obstacles holding you back and unlock greater success and fulfillment. It’s time to invest in yourself and build a strong, resilient foundation for a life and business in alignment with your highest potential.

    "You have the family, you have the house, you have the car, you've got the kids, you have the animals, you've got all the things. You have all the degrees, you speak on stages, are invited to do extraordinary things. You have a high level space in your career and you still have not yet cracked the code on permanent weight loss. And I want to let you know that any of the goals that you have for yourself to continue to expand your career are being stunted by your not addressing this." - Leslie Thornton

    Ep 280 Meet Dr. Hanisha Patel, a Naturopathic Doctor specializing in women's health and fertility

    Why is it that so many couples struggle with infertility despite exhausting every conventional medical option? Why do repeated IVF cycles and other interventions often fail, leaving couples emotionally and financially drained? Is it possible that addressing root causes could lead to better results? These critical questions are at the heart of this episode.

    The emotional toll of infertility can be devastating—endless doctor visits, invasive procedures, and shattered hope with every negative test. Many couples find themselves stuck in a cycle of treatment that doesn’t address the deeper issues impacting their fertility. Worse, men’s health and sperm quality are often overlooked, despite being a significant factor in conception and healthy pregnancies. This leads to missed opportunities to resolve underlying issues, costing couples not only time and money but also their mental and emotional well-being.

    Meet Dr. Hanisha Patel, a Naturopathic Fertility Specialist who is into holistic fertility solutions. Through her "It Takes Two" program, she helps couples uncover the root causes of infertility by addressing obstacles to healing in mind, body, and spirit. Dr. Patel’s approach incorporates thorough investigation, toxin removal, nourishment, and building resilience, guiding couples toward healthier pregnancies. With a proven track record of success, she empowers couples to take back control of their fertility journey.

    In this episode, Hanisha shows how a holistic method offers a comprehensive roadmap to fertility rather than relying solely on conventional treatments, treating both partners as active participants in the process. She shares how her approach has helped couples conceive naturally—even after years of failed interventions. Her program increases the likelihood of success by optimizing your overall health. By tackling infertility holistically, couples can achieve not just pregnancy but vibrant health and well-being for both themselves and their future children.

    Ep 279 Are you neglecting your emotional body?

    Feeling forever trapped  in a cycle of unhealthy habits, wondering why your diets fail or your emotional struggles persist despite your best efforts? In this episode, Leslie dives into the root causes of emotional eating and unhealthy coping mechanisms, exploring the deeper connection between mastering emotions and achieving lasting health. She challenges you to rethink your approach to well-being, emphasizing the importance of nurturing both your emotional and physical self.

    She couldn't help but emphasize that ignoring your emotional needs can lead to a life filled with stress, unhealthy relationships, and coping behaviors like overeating or impulsive spending.

Leslie offers actionable steps and resources to help you regain control, trust your intuition, and create a fulfilling, balanced life. By addressing these challenges with compassion and clarity, you can transform your struggles into opportunities for growth and empowerment.

    "Hypnosis quiets down the conscious mind that's buzzing around all day long, fearing, worrying, looking at time, thinking about how your body feels and your weights and your clothes. All that stuff that comes up when you're not distracted by work.

    All those thoughts you have when you wake up in the morning, that is the tape that we need to just quiet down so that we can then access, we can do the deep dive into the emotions and into the intuition, into the unconscious stuff so that you can get into agreement with your conscious mind and then your actions can become aligned." - Leslie Thornton 

    What you will learn from this episode:

    02:40 - Emphasizing the importance of balancing logic and reason with emotional intuition

    09:08 - Advocating balancing the conscious and unconscious mind through hypnosis to integrate logic with emotions for lasting health and weight solutions

    22:47 - Encouraging everyone to trust their intuition, take proactive steps toward self-empowerment, and embrace tools and guidance to master emotions, regain control of one's health, and create a fulfilling, purpose-driven life

    Ep 277 Holiday FOOD FUN Tip!

    Are you stuck in an endless cycle of dieting, perfectionism, and guilt? Do you find yourself constantly switching between strict control over food and complete abandon, only to feel joyless and exhausted? How about finding a way to break free from these patterns and truly enjoy your life without fear or shame around food, body, and weight?

    The perfectionist mindset can feel like a trap—rewarding us with fleeting moments of control but leaving us drained, frustrated, and disconnected from our authentic selves. For many, the holidays amplify this struggle, with extra food, drinks, and social expectations heightening the pressure to "stay on track" while secretly longing for freedom and joy. The more we strive for perfection, the more we may feel we’re missing out on the vibrant, colorful life we deserve.

    In this episode, Leslie  shares her transformative journey from rigid dieting and fear-based control to a life of freedom, joy, and authenticity. She invites us to shift from perfectionism to integrity, explore new sources of joy, and embrace our full self-expression. Let’s move past the limitations of all-or-nothing thinking and rediscover what it means to live in the present moment. Listen to Leslie's insights as they offer a powerful roadmap for change.

    "Give yourself permission to have joy this holiday. That is what they're all about. That is where we get access to it. And if that feels impossible to you, just know that there are ways to get there." - Leslie Thornton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    01:52 - Leslie sharing her journey from struggling with dieting and food addiction to discovering joy and freedom through her HEAL method

    Ep 276 Masculine Vs. Feminine Communication and Relationships

    Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of arguments, stress, and unmet emotional needs in your relationships? Do you find yourself constantly taking on responsibility for everything, leaving you exhausted and unfulfilled? What if the way you communicate is the key to breaking free and creating the harmony you’ve been craving?

    The truth is, many of us were programmed early in life to communicate in ways that serve us in professional settings but create challenges in our personal lives. Direct, task-focused communication may help you excel at work, but it often leaves relationships strained and emotional needs unmet. Without learning how to balance masculine and feminine communication styles, you may find yourself stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, and unhealthy coping mechanisms like stress eating or burnout.

    But the good thing is, you can transform these patterns by learning to communicate in ways that foster emotional connection and invite others to support you. Through a combination of self-awareness, emotional mastery, and a willingness to practice new habits, it’s possible to create relationships that bring joy, ease, and fulfillment. Leslie’s program offers tools, insights, and guidance to help you make lasting changes, empowering you to feel loved, understood, and at peace in your personal and professional life.

    "Consider that when we decide to be a different way and to tap into our feminine and to learn how to take better care of ourselves and ask for what we need, that gives other people the opportunity to come in and help you. And again, you'll start to receive those results that you didn't know that you could get before because you're doing things in a different way." - Leslie Thonton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    01:43 - How addressing the root causes of food, body, and weight issues—including ineffective communication and unmanaged emotions—can help heal your relationship with food

    04:35  - The importance of slowing down and addressing unspoken emotions and communication issues

    06:37 - How early life programming shapes communication styles

    14:19 - The transformative power of feminine communication

    21:11 - How learning feminine communication can lead to healthier relationships and personal growth

    24:25 - Inviting listeners to take actionable steps towards improving their health and mindset by  attending her holiday health retreat or booking a call to explore her coaching program

    Ep 272 Emotional Eating with Sarah Alysse Bobo

    Emotional disconnection often lies at the heart of struggles with eating habits and overall well-being. Many individuals turn to food not just for sustenance but as a coping mechanism to navigate complex emotions—often without realizing the patterns ingrained by family dynamics and life experiences. This unconscious cycle can leave people feeling stuck, disconnected from their true selves, and unsure how to break free.

    The impact of these patterns goes beyond individual behavior, manifesting as generational habits rooted in unresolved emotions like sadness, anger, or fear. For many, societal stigmas and external judgments amplify the inner turmoil, turning mealtime into a battlefield of guilt and unmet needs. Without addressing the emotional core of these struggles, food becomes both a comfort and a source of shame, perpetuating a cycle that feels impossible to escape.

By exploring emotional triggers, family influences, and personal beliefs, she reveals how to cultivate resilience and self-awareness.
