This hat. Is fucking EPIC.

I should do a hat review video…

Food for thought!

Anyway!

I get asked a lot about what I invest in to grow my business, and it’s a pretty simple answer!

eCourses, learning from mentors and upgrading my knowledge
Making sure I then invest the time to actually fucking doing them.

IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENT.

Conquered by the Camino.

Lovebeams,

I am about to tell you a Very Dumb Story.

It’s how this t-shirt made me dislocate both hips & herniate a lumbar disc which has been a four month recovery process (and counting).

Yep… a t-shirt.

Let me explain.

So! It was in quarantine. I was bored. And I saw some random Facebook ad where I could… walk the Camino (the famous pilgrimage through Spain) but do it… VIRTUALLY. Yep… VIRTUALLY. I’d use an app or Apple Watch to track my steps, and start going for walks in my own neighbourhood to walk 770km.

AND… I’d get a goddamn MEDAL and a t-shirt. Now, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself, it’s that I’m ridiculously motivated by external validation. Gimme a $2 piece of junky award, and I will chase that carrot like it is EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED AND NEEDED.

And so, that first weekend, I walked & rode over 20km. I was giddy with enthusiasm, and ridonkulously proud that I was WALKING THE CAMINO (albeit virtually). The next day, however, I couldn’t walk. Nor the day after that, or the day after that. Two weeks later, when I limped into my osteopath’s office, she examined me and said: “Leonie… this is like… really bad.”

You see, in all my enthusiasm & excitement, in all my rampant clutching for external validation, I’d forgotten one simple fact: I’m hypermobile. My bones dislocate a little too easily. My mind may be willing, but my body is not.

It’s been a long, hard recovery process. Every day, it gets a little bit better. Every day, I have to prioritise my body over my ambition or (hilarious) ideas.

When I got this t-shirt in the mail, my husband laughed.

“You didn’t conquer that challenge, Leonie. It conquered YOU.”

And that’s how a t-shirt wrecccccccked me. HA!

Big love,

Leonie

Video: How Should Publish My Book?

Lovebugs!

Firstly, an apology for the lack of hats today.

I know; I too, am devastated. But we shall carry on.

So!

Should you publish your book through a publishing house or should self-publish?

I’m going back to self-publishing after having a publishing deal for the last two years!

Watch the video to find out exactly why.

And maybe you’re watching this and thinking “pffft Leonie. LEEEEOOOONIEEEE. I’d have to HAVE a finished book in order to worry about publishing…”

And to you I say: everyone has a book inside them waiting to come out. 

Maybe it’s a workbook? Or maybe it’s an erotic novella?

If you want to get your book written, learn how to market the bejeezus out of it AND everything in between, check out 40 Days to a Finished Book!

Let’s get writing and editing and publishing! 

Fuck yeah!

Big love!

 

 

 

 

The Body Love Show!

Loves,

Another day, another fabulous interview to share!

I sat down and talked with Emma Polette about… well… everything!

Emma says it best:

“In the first few minutes of the show Leonie tells us about growing up with a brother with cerebral palsy and many older women and how that shaped her attitude of complete love and acceptance of her body.

She also breaks down how the patriarchy, capitalism and white supremacy takes us into the “unnatural” territory of body hate.

And she reminds us that the whole point of life is to “enjoy the f*ck” out of it!”

(All this in the first 7 minutes of the show!)”
