Daughter, only child, half-sister, girlfriend, friend, natural wellness advocate, Founder of Project WE Society. I'm outgoing, resilient & funny. After my parents split when I was 5 my dad wasn't around much and my mom worked full time to support us. I'd say I'm mainly a product of my mom and grandmother. I was bit in the face by our neighbor's dog as a kid - I remember the blood and screaming and trauma. That was a tough day. But I think my worst day was when I was about 15 and my mother's boyfriend held me by the throat and punched my face while my mom did virtually nothing. I never felt so unloved as on that day. I've had a lot of great days though. Like the day I felt my knees touch the ocean floor while diving in Australia, the day I stood in the doorway of the skydive plane and jumped despite being scared shit and the day I met my boyfriend who's saved my life. I struggle to not feel like I'm a bother or a nuisance to people - I've carried that since I was a kid. I'm training my brain to to realize that people actually like me & want me around. I've held onto the old story that people who I allow myself to love won't love me back but my new story is that I am lovable! I have a great purpose & I'm doing amazing, impactful things. I believe that my strength lies in the difficulties I've overcome. I love to discover who I am and to help other woman to do the same. I wish there was less suicide - more love, acceptance & mental health help out there. I attempted suicide several times when I was younger so this is a topic close to my heart. Back then I couldn't see how amazing I was. I wish people in that dark place could see how awesome their future selves could be & how much they are loved. I feel most alive when I'm writing and in nature. I believe beauty emerges when you show your true, raw self to the world. I love to travel, garden and meet new people. I believe in always doing your best and doing the right thing. I'm a survivor, a fighter, a stubborn Leo woman who never gives herself the credit she deserves. I am Leanne. I am tougher than I think. I am a good person. I am ME.
