    Ep. 27 I Had A Lumpectomy (Ductal Papilloma). This Isn't A Medical Story.

    Send us Fan MailYou've been telling yourself you're fine. Your shoulders tell a different story. Five months ago I noticed something. I assessed it - clinically, carefully - and decided it could wait. What followed was a mammogram, a biopsy, a titanium clip, and eventually a day surgery where I showed up in a brown hospital robe to the worst TOGA party in history! This isn't a medical story. It's a nervous system one. What does the body hold when the mind has decided it's probably nothing? Also: a brief but necessary correction about HPV that someone out there needs to hear. Book 1:1 here

    Ep. 26 Why You Can't Stick To A Workout - Your Nervous System Is Trying To Tell You Something (Cortisol, Body-based movement, and Why Consistency Isn't A Discipline Problem)

    Send us Fan MailIf you've tried and quit every workout routine you've ever started, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a nervous system problem. I share the honest story of every movement format that didn't work for my body - including a spin class that ended disgustingly - and what I finally figured out about why. We get into what cortisol actually does, the difference between discomfort that grows you and discomfort that drains you, and why the thing that finally stuck looks nothing like what the fitness industry told me it should. Softness isn't weakness. It's strategy.Book 1:1 here

    Ep. 25 What We Get Wrong About The Eldest Daughter | Somatic Healing for High Functioning Women and the Pattern Beneath The Burnout

    Send us Fan MailThere are incredible posts about the eldest daughter all over social media. They talk aobut burnout, resentment, the productivity that never stops. They're not wrong. But they're not the full story either. The wound isn't just being asked to do too much - it's that existing without function started to feel like disappearing. This episode goes deeper than the content you've already seen. And if you want to go all the way in, the Put Her Down audio series is linked here. Book 1:1 here

    Ep. 24 Coming Back To Herself with Britt Holmes (Resilience, ADHD, and Getting Back Up When Life Knocks You Down)

    Send us Fan MailBritt Holmes built a business, got knocked sideways by life, and came back - not the same way, but more herself. We talk about business, family, ADHD, and what it actually looks like to rebuild after the kind of hard that doesn't have a clean narrative. Britt is an ads and media specialist, founder of Merit Media and Founders Advisory, and one of the most honest people I know. This one goes places.Follow Britt on IG here: @brittholmeslive and @meritmediaincwww.meritmedia.com#adsmanagement #divorce #singleparent #adhd #businessoperations #somatictherapy #emotionalhealth #nervoussystemregulationBook 1:1 here

    Ep. 23 Bumble Dating & A Full Body No (How Somatic Awareness Works in Real Life Decisions)

    Send us Fan MailWithin 60 seconds on a dating app, I knew. Not with my brain - with my whole body. This episode is about what it felt like to have a full-body yes and a full-body no, and how that same somatic awareness showed up in my business long before I had a name for it. If you've ever second-guessed what you already knew, this is that episode.Book 1:1 here

  6. 21

    Ep. 22 I Don't Feel Mom Guilt | Parenting Confessions (What Mom Guilt Actually Is and Why Reframing It Keeps You Stuck)

    Send us Fan MailI don't feel mom guilt. Not saying that to be provocative - I'm saying it because the way we talk about mom guilt is keeping women stuck in smallness. This episode is about what mom guilt actually is, where it comes from in the nervous system, and why all the reframing in the world doesn't touch it. And what starts to happen when it finally begins to loosen.Book 1:1 here

  7. 20

    Ep. 21 My Nervous System Spent $15,000 (What Happens When a Pattern Makes Your Decisions)

    Send us Fan MailI paid $15,000 for a program my intuition told me to walk away from. And when it came time to say it wasn't working - I didn't ask for a single dollar back. That wasn't a financial decision. That was a pattern making decisions on my behalf. The over-explaining. The going cold. The avoiding until it becomes a crisis. The shrinking when you need to stay present. That's not a leadership problem. It's so much older than that.Book 1:1 here

  8. 19

    Ep. 20 Nobody Abandoned Themselves This Week | The Turtle Costume (What Self-Abandonment Actually Looks Like in the Small Moments)

    Send us Fan MailNobody in my family abandoned themselves this week. Not Tyson. Not Jarrett. Not me - even when it would have been easier to push through, perform fine, and call it responsible. This episode is about what it actually looks like to not disappear in the small moments. The costume on the table. The cancelled week. The thing you've been carrying and calling not a big deal. Your body knows the difference. It always does.Book 1:1 here

  9. 18

    Ep.19 You're Not Stuck In Your Patterns - Your Ancestors Were (Epigenetics and Body-Level Pattern Work)

    Send us Fan MailYou've done the therapy. Read the books. You can name the pattern, trace it back, explain exactly where it started. And you're still doing it. This episode is about why - and it's not what most people tell you. We get into the difference between understanding a pattern and actually completing it, why you can't think your way out of body-level encoding, and what epigenetics tells us about the patterns you may have inherited before you were even born. This work is bigger than you've been told.Book 1:1 here

  10. 17

    Ep. 18 Unlearning Success: How Your Body Knew Before Your Brain Did - with Puja Malhotra (Immigrant Success Culture and Body-Based Knowing)

    Send us Fan MailShe had a full-body no. She said yes anyway. Puja Malhotra of Roop Creative Agency joins me to talk about growing up inside immigrant success culture, what it costs to override what your body already knows, and the moment it finally said enough before her brain caught up. This conversation goes deep into the places where identity, achievement, and nervous system patterns collide.Book 1:1 here

  11. 16

    Ep. 17 The Right Room (What Happens When a Pattern Releases in Public)

    Send us Fan Maillost my voice at a women's event. Not metaphorically - I actually lost it. And it turned out to be the most visible I'd ever felt. This episode is about what it looks like when a pattern releases somewhere you didn't plan, a room full of women who actually get it, and what I built on the other side of that moment.The Intuitive Circle membership is openBook 1:1 here

  12. 15

    Ep. 16 The Anger Passed Down From Grandma (Generational Anger and What Your Body Inherited)

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the anger you're carrying isn't even yours? This episode pulls on a thread I've been sitting with for a while - one that goes deeper than coping skills and breathing techniques. The Anger Tree is a framework for understanding where anger actually lives in the body, where it comes from, and what it's trying to tell you. We're not unpacking the whole thing today. We're planting a seed.Book 1:1 here

  13. 14

    Ep. 15 Part 2: The System Wasn't Built For Us.. And This Is What I Did About It (How the Medical System Fails Women and What Body-Based Healing Offers Instead)

    Send us Fan MailIn Part 1, I told you why I walked away. In Part 2, I go into why the medical system has been failing women for decades — what the research actually says, what I kept seeing in my practice that changed everything, and what becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your answers. This episode is for any woman who has ever been dismissed, minimized, or handed a prescription when something else entirely was going on.Book 1:1 here

  14. 13

    Ep. 14 Part 1 - I Was Called Dr. Les for 11 Years, Then I Walked Away (Why I Left Naturopathic Medicine and Built the SEER Method)

    Send us Fan MailI had the title. The license. The patients I loved. And a slow-burning anger I kept pushing down for years. This is the episode I haven't told on the podcast yet - why I walked away from naturopathic medicine after 11 years, how my own emotions were trying to tell me something long before I was ready to listen, and where the SEER Method actually came from. Spoiler: it started in my parents' basement.Book 1:1 here

  15. 12

    Ep. 13 When AC/DC Influences Your Kid (What We Pass Down Beyond the Wounds)

    Send us Fan MailWe spend so much energy trying not to pass down our pain - we forget we're also passing down our magic. The songs. The rituals. The way we recover after we lose it. The way we honour a quiet no. This episode started with Thunderstruck playing in a delivery room and ended with a six-year-old teaching me about boundaries. It's about generational patterns - the ones worth keeping.Book 1:1 here

  16. 11

    Ep. 12 Marriage Is Energetic (Nervous System Co-Regulation in Relationships)

    Send us Fan MailIn long-term relationships we don't just communicate with words - we communicate through our nervous systems. This episode is about the difference between attunement and enmeshment, why you can feel your partner's stress before they've said a single word, and how childhood conditioning shapes that sensitivity. If you've ever wondered why you're anxious or activated and nothing has even happened yet - this is the episode.Book 1:1 here

  17. 10

    Ep. 11 The Energetics of Money, Mission & Self-Trust - With Chelsea Schreiner (When Business Alignment Starts in the Body)

    Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually mean to magnetize your business - and what happens when the energy is off? I sit down with Chelsea Schreiner (@alignedbychelsea) to talk about the energetics of running a business, why so many women keep hitting the same invisible ceiling, and where self-trust and money are more connected than we think. This one goes places.Book 1:1 here

  18. 9

    Ep. 10 I Thought I'd Sail Through This (A Perimenopause Reckoning — Somatic Perspective)

    Send us Fan MailI'm a former naturopath and current somatic practitioner. I should know this body inside and out. And yet. This episode is me speaking from the messy middle of perimenopause - not from the other side, not with a protocol. We talk about pain, irritability, cravings, and how stress hits differently when your body is in a hormonal season. The inner work doesn't make us immune to being human. This episode is about listening, stabilizing, and honouring where you actually are.Book 1:1 here

  19. 8

    Ep. 9 The Day I Backed Into A Parked Car...again. (Understanding Emotional Triggers and Nervous System Patterns)

    Send us Fan MailIt wasn't really about the car. The moment it happened I felt something in my body that had nothing to do with a parking lot - and everything to do with patterns I'd lived inside for years. This episode is about what it looks like when your nervous system reacts to a perceived threat based on old experience, how to stay present when you're triggered, and what self-compassion actually feels like in the body when you stop abandoning yourself mid-spiral.www.lesleyturner.ca/triggeredBook 1:1 here

    Ep. 8 What Cardboard Mailboxes Taught Me About Regulation (Nervous System Regulation Through Play)

    Send us Fan MailI woke up grumpy. Tyson wanted to build cardboard mailboxes. What happened next reminded me that nervous system regulation doesn't always look like breathwork and stillness - sometimes it looks like cutting up boxes on the kitchen floor. This episode is about the shift from seriousness to play, why joy is actually a regulation tool, and what happens in your body when you stop performing and just show up.Book 1:1 here

  21. 6

    Ep. 7 I Thought I Wasn't Enough (Healing the "Not Enough" Pattern)

    Send us Fan MailI've carried a quiet "not enough" wound for as long as I can remember. It's the pattern my ego defaults to when things get quiet. This episode came out of a single conversation that reminded me how much I actually know h and how what feels completely obvious to me can shift someone in real time. If you feel behind, inadequate, or like you're still waiting to be qualified enough - this one's for you.Book 1:1 here

  22. 5

    Ep. 6 Running With The Truth (How to Stop Ego-Based Striving and Trust Your Inner Voice)

    Send us Fan MailThe year of the horse has a different energy - and if you felt a shift coming, you weren't imagining it. This episode is about what it actually means to step into a new year after a season of shedding what was never really yours. We talk about letting go of striving that comes from ego rather than truth, reclaiming your inner voice, and what it looks like to start a year aligned instead of just ambitious.Book 1:1 here

  23. 4

    Ep. 5 I'm 44 and Unhinged (A Nervous System Roast of Everything We're Leaving Behind)

    Send us Fan MailA loving roast of the behaviours we collectively normalized - rage bait, comparison culture, over-explaining, ignoring body wisdom, outsourcing your intuition to Mercury retrograde. This isn't judgment. It's a nervous system check-in and a reminder of who you actually are underneath the noise. Recorded on my 44th birthday, heading into 2026Book 1:1 here

  24. 3

    Ep. 4 The Night A Yoga Class Broke Me (Body-Based Healing and the Pressure to Perform Movement)

    Send us Fan MailThere were tears driving home from the yoga class. Then dancing in jeans in my living room. If movement has always felt like pressure or performance - like something you're somehow bad at - this episode is for you. I talk about what it looks like when your body finally stops cooperating with what your mind thinks exercise should look like, and what happens when you listen instead.Book 1:1 here

  25. 2

    Ep. 3 An Existential Crisis Over Boots! (When Small Irritations Are Actually Pattern Work)

    Send us Fan MailIt wasn't really about the boots. Small frustrations that spiral into something bigger usually aren't about the thing - they're pointing at a pattern. This episode unpacks why minor irritations sometimes crack open childhood conditioning, what that discomfort is actually trying to show you, and how to tell the difference between the kind that grows you and the kind that's just draining you.Book 1:1 here

  26. 1

    Ep. 2 A Dirty Rotten Cheater (How Betrayal Wounds Shape Your Nervous System Patterns)

    Send us Fan MailYour nervous system keeps score long after your mind moves on. I woke up from a dream that dragged up 20 years of buried betrayal — and instead of pushing it back down, I listened. This episode is about the self-worth wounds that early betrayals carve into us, how those patterns quietly shape our relationships for years, and what it looks like when your intuition shows up exactly when the pain resurfaces.Book 1:1 here

    Ep. 1 Letting Crap Go Without Crapping Your Pants (When Aligned Endings Still Feel Like Grief)

    Send us Fan MailIf you've ever ended something that made complete sense and still felt grief about it - this is that episode. I share why I collapsed a membership I'd poured a year into, what it actually feels like to let something go when you built it with your whole heart, and why that kind of discomfort is part of living an intuitive, soul-led life. Releasing patterns doesn't always feel like relief. Sometimes it feels like loss. And that's still the right move.Book 1:1 here
