"Sometimes you get energy just from putting yourself in the environment where there's inspiration." - Leah Harris

In the season FINALE, episode number 7, we chat with my dear friend, the fabulous soul singer-songwriter Leah Harris.

Leah grew up in Canada but with a view of Detroit- whose musical legacy influenced her in a major way. She’s been a professional musician since she was 15 and has since toured all over the world. But she’s not only a musician she also helped develop the world's most popular piano learning app - Yousician. She's a multi-talented, multi-passionate person whose heart beats softly, like a Ray Charles song. I'm so excited to share our conversation with you today!

She gets super real with us in this episode and we talk about SO much, including:

✨How our souls can easily & slowly drown in the day-to-day and what to do about it.
✨How covid helped her restructure priorities.
✨How to build a sustainable life as an artist.
✨How authenticity will probably be a bit isolating, if only at first.
✨The immense power of simply showing up.
✨How no action is neutral.
✨How habits and identity are kinda the same thing.
✨How to not abandon yourself.

And SO MUCH more! This episode will inspire your socks off!
