"Sometimes it's better to travel than arrive"-Robert M. Pirsig, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"Life doesn't always take you where you think you want to go. Enjoy the ride anyway! Sometimes we get lost or make a mistake, but as painter Bob Ross would say, you can turn a mistake into a "happy mistake" if you choose to.********************************"Facing Fears and Shifting Gears" is a podcast about mental health, neurodiversity, and changing our perspective when life brings us challenges, in order to heal and thrive!My name is Leslie Reyes, and I'm the author of the IndieBRAG award-winning Amazon best-seller, "The Zen of Learning to Ride a Motorcycle: How I Faced My Fears, Shifted Gears, and Found Healing from Anxiety, Codependency, and Depression."I have worked as a psychiatric and chemical dependency nurse, yoga teacher, and I'm also a motorcycle enthusiast. I have seen mental illness up close, first as the daughter of a schizophrenic mother and later through my own personal mental health struggles.I never expected a motorcycle would one day be the guru I needed to change my life habits and finally learn to trust myself. I live with my husband, our five motorcycles, and two dogs in Northern California.
