I’m so excited to meet you and share this amazing adventure! My name is Leia and I’ve been married for 20 years! Wow typing that makes me feel old- We have two daughters 15 and 13 and three pets – Rex our King Cavalier, Bella my daughter’s cat and Mocha- my dream chocolate lab. Our house is busy and fun and we live life to the fullest… sometimes a bit too full, but we enjoy the chaos. I love to scrapbook, read, travel and host events.
I grew up dancing and became a professional ballet dancer very young. I stayed in that for almost 20 years and still teach and coach at the studio my mom opened when I was 12. We love working together and I treasure the time I get to invest in our students.
For a few awesome years I got to also direct a preschool ministry at at local church. As a part of the that time I hosted a LOT of events for moms with little ones and led a MOPS ministry. Through that time I realized there are a lot of moms out there drowning in the day to day of being mom. With great intentions but very little sleep… I saw these moms thrive when they found connection with other moms. I saw them achieve goals, dream big and go for things as a result of inspiring speakers and friendships they found with other moms. Marriages were restored and miracles seemed to happen almost every week. When my time came to an end in that ministry due to my kids being older and needing me to focus elsewhere- I found myself still really wanting to minister to women in this season of motherhood. The season of busy, repetition, losing yourself in caring for others, trying to be a good wife and not just sustain but invest in your marriage… The season of “it’s time to feed them again”, “when did I last shower”, and “I have so many dreams… and no time”.
I believe that with a willing heart, God will use me to inspire and lift up other women so that they can create, achieve and do so much more than survive this season of life. The journey can bring so much joy!
