In this episode of Seen & Known, Leona sits down with certified life coach, podcaster, and journal creator Leslie Martinez for a joyful conversation about spiritual growth, purpose, and building rhythms with God that feel both meaningful and doable.

10| Type A to Type Pray

In this episode of Seen & Known, I'm joined by Darian Posey, founder of Type A to Type Pray, to talk about what happens when capable, faith-filled women realize that striving is no longer sustainable. Darian shares her journey from control and burnout to surrender and peace, and how God met her in the tension between ambition and alignment. Together, we unpack what biblical surrender really looks like in marriage, how to pursue purpose without hustle culture, and why peace is found in progress—not perfection. If you've been carrying everything and quietly wondering why you still feel exhausted, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Darian reminds us that we don't have to hustle to be whole or strive to be seen. There is another way—one rooted in prayer, healing, and steady growth.
