About Leigh
My Story
Since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by what makes living things what they are. From bugs to birds to people, I’ve always had a deep reverence for life and a need to observe it in its many miraculous forms.
That same sensitivity shaped how I moved through the world. I picked up on subtle energies and what others wanted from me. I became a master people-pleaser. I could perform whatever role was expected—but I didn’t have a grasp on my own identity. Where did I end and others begin?
When I was 17, I became acutely aware of the cost of performance. My dad, a high-level executive—ambitious, respected, and under immense pressure to perform—passed away after a harrowing walk with cancer. Watching him succeed, and then suffer, left me with a question: did he live a life that honored his nature?
In the years that followed, I found myself on my own path of peak performance. I hit the milestones quickly—leadership roles, rapid promotions, scaling creative agencies. I became the “right hand man” to every founder/CEO I’d ever worked for, but found myself exhausted. I wanted to know how to live a life of both vitality and deep purpose. So I turned to exploring human nature. I studied psychology, Internal Family Systems, hypnotherapy, and coaching. I took several journeys with psychedelics to more thoroughly walk my inner worlds.
What I kept coming back to was that our most healthy, fulfilling lives are those that honor our nature—both our nature as living beings and our distinct nature as individualized people. I also found the more I discovered what makes me ME, the more others leaned in and wanted to hear about it.
In 2024, I made one final leap to align my path with my own nature. I walked away from agency leadership and went independent, combining my brand strategy skills and my fascination with human identity.
I believe the most powerful thing we can do to make the most of our lives is to recognize our nature, and then live, create, and serve from that place. I believe the world would be a more beautiful place if we taught our youth to do this. When you see yourself clearly, everything flows. My work is simply to help you remember what’s always been there.
My mission is to help 10,000 humans live a life that honors their nature.
My Mantras
Follow Your Enthusiasm
The word "enthusiasm" comes from a Greek word that literally means "inspired by God." Your enthusiasm holds the breadcrumbs to your divine nature.
Nature Knows
The ecosystems—biological and psychic—within and around us are all reflections of one other. If we wish to understand ourselves, we only need to look to nature.
Start With Why
Knowing your WHY is key to understanding your identity. Your identity is the cornerstone of your habits. Your habits are the cornerstone of your life.
