#84 Release Doubt and Remember to Smile

Today, I interview Lesley Nase who is the middle child of five children. Due to a large port wine birthmark across her face, her shyness would sometimes come forward. She remembers once being timid about walking past some kids, in fear of the stares. Her sweet and encouraging mother reminded her that her smile was the most important thing anyone could see. In Lesley's home, everyone was accepted and included. Her brother was born with spina bifida, but the two of them wore their uniqueness out in the open, happy and free to be themselves. Lesley maintained the habit of putting on her smile no matter what, so that any unkindness would be disarmed and people could always see and feel her friendliness. In school, Lesley fell in love with theater class. She loved discovering new characters and "trying on different hats". Although she often struggled with laryngitis, Lesley's voice always showed up for her as soon as she stepped out on stage. With each new character she played, she found an exciting, magical boldness. Lesley's career has developed over the years as she continues to speak on stage, on podcasts, in workshops, and in more intimate personal circles. She remembers once being approached about hosting a TV show. Her inner dialogue made her second guess whether she might be a good fit for TV, but the person selecting her gave her emphatic approval. This was a nice reminder to Lesley that she is a great fit, because she's capable, smart, and kind. Today she loves working with people and animals to sense their needs, communicating with them on a deep level. She helps them to heal naturally from the inside out and find true success. And she always wears her smile. ___________ Lesley Nase is Creator and CEO of ‘Intuitive Animal Healing’ and is a certified CORE Communication coach for businesses. She is the host of ‘Books, Yarns & Tails’ on Win Win Women TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and Roku. Her podcast ‘The Client Whispers’ is set to be released in January of 2023. Her gift and her passions have allowed her to help people and pets, access their innate healing abilities, get to the root of their imbalances, and restore themselves to optimal health, naturally and holistically. She guides others through insight and wisdom as an Intuitive Shamanic healing practitioner, Frequency Healing coach, and End-of-Life specialist. Lesley expanded her offerings when she became certified as a CORE Communication coach. Entrepreneurs hire Lesley to get to the CORE of communication because most fail to speak the language of their listeners and are missing out on connections, relationships, and resolutions to maximize success. She helps break down communication barriers to leverage conversations for collaborations and conversions. When she is not out walking or hiking with her dogs you can find her curled up with a good book and her cat.
