🎙️ Choosing Joy with Leya Van Doren: A Journey Through Story, Creativity, and Motherhood

In this heart-expanding episode, I sit down with the ever-enchanting Leya Van Doren—creative coach, artist, podcaster, and mama—to talk about her beautifully unexpected path into motherhood, the magic of creative retreats, and the power of storytelling.

Leya shares the incredible story of how she discovered she was pregnant, how writing has shaped her life, and even offers a gorgeous prompt to help you begin writing your own story.

We talk poems, past travels, the healing that lives inside a well-told tale, and her one-of-a-kind retreats that weave together writing, connection, and creativity.

Leya is a collector of stories, seashells, and sacred moments—and this episode is full of all three. Pure magic.
