Leila D

Six decades is a long time on earth! Leila has used some of it becoming a doctor, psychotherapist, retreat leader, yoga teacher and human design analyst. The balance has been spent searching for a way to connect with the spark inside her and blow on the flames. Leila loves it when we blow on each others spark! It makes her skin tingle. She's here offering her wisdom on insight timer because she spent too long in dark places, and knows them well: intergenerational trauma, the pain of difficult, lonely, unsupported childhood, the bewilderment of life as a lost young adult, the drive of overachieving to compensate, and losing herself in other peoples problems. She works with women like her, overachieving, professionals who learned early in life to disappear and care for others. Together they build awareness and connection to that lost spark of joy, so more vibrant, juicy and wholehearted beings can emerge to play.

Really made me pause and reflect about all my different parts and not dismiss the bits I don’t like. Also lots of other references to follow up. Thanks 😊

Well, that’s a good question. Right now there isn’t a lot of joy nor Bliss in my life. I seem to be in a state of do do do chasing my tail. I’ve listened to four of your talks and practices this morning, and they have really brought some insight into my mind. They’ve been gentle reminders and I truly am grateful for finding you this morning Laila. I liked what you gave as an example of what brings you joy and bliss. I think what I’ll do is listen to this again and do some journaling about rekindling my joy and passions and bliss in my life. Thank you so much.🙏🏻❤️💞✨

Thank you Lelia! This was a transformative practice/talk. the timing is perfect for where I’m at, and it was just what I needed. I listened to it a few times and found it to be so helpful. I absolutely love the idea of flipping to the opposite of whatever my anxiety is and shifting my mindset. One thing that brings me anxiety is my relationship. So I’m shifting my mindset to. I am flourishing in my relationship with my partner. I am safe and I am always taking care of by the universe. I am practicing shifting my mindful set going forward. I will definitely be coming back to this practice for gentle reminders.💞✨💞
