Lunch with a Life Coach

Forging A New Path of Leadership with Ancient Wisdom with Jess Boots

So many of us are struggling with old, outdated frameworks for what defines a leader, what qualities a great leader embodies and what conversations belong in the leadership space. This episode is the answer and sits at the intersection of science and “woo”, where we bring you the ancient wisdom of the chakra system and yogic philosophy and apply it to how we believe leadership can positive evolve. In this invitational conversation, I am joined by the lovely Jess Boots, a leadership coach, author (!), yoga teacher, and mama, to explore how leadership doesn’t start with a position or with authority: it starts with your relationship with yourself. Because truly, it’s all connected.

The Revelation of Reclaiming Cyclical Living

Ep 23: If you’ve ever felt pressured to turn your healing into progress or wondered why living in alignment often feels like swimming upstream—this episode will shift something deep in your bones. Ximena is a Mexican philosopher and regenerative design practitioner who breaks down how we internalize extraction, and why returning to rhythm is more than self-care—it’s system disruption. Together, we explore how reclaiming our cyclical nature is part of what might actually save us. In this episode you’ll hear: * Why linear time is a cultural invention that disconnects us from ourselves and our natural rhythm * The ways we can find the cracks to break the toxic ideas of separatism, commodification of our bodies, and patriarchal exploitation * How perfectionism and “optimization” sneak into healing spaces—and how to root them out * Why the language you use matters- and our issue with “biohacking” This isn’t about escaping the system or fixing yourself so you can re-enter it stronger. It’s about choosing, again and again, to live in a way that honors your body, your community, and the Earth.

From Olive Garden Dreams to Cooking Close to Nature with Chef Janna

Ep. 21: In this episode of Lunch with a Life Coach, Kayleigh sits down with the incomparable Chef Janna to explore what it really means to make food a lifestyle—without falling into the trap of food perfectionism. From her early inspiration sparked by a server at Olive Garden to her current approach to cooking as a form of devotion in both her cafe Mother's Roots and at home, Janna shares how discipline in the kitchen can actually create more freedom, not less. We talk about the subtle but important difference between being a “cook” and a “chef,” her time in a nutrition-forward culinary program, and why the myth of the 100% organic lifestyle needs to go. Spoiler alert: her top two organic priorities might surprise you. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by wellness culture, unsure where to start with healthy eating, or just wanted someone to tell you it’s okay to not make everything from scratch, this one’s for you. Plus, you’ll walk away with a few simple tips for making easy meals at home that support your gut, your nervous system, and your sanity.   Connect with Janna:  Website: www.mothersroots.com [http://www.mothersroots.com/] Instagram: @mothersroots [https://www.instagram.com/mothersroots/] Visit her at the Olympia Farmers Market in Olympia, WA every Saturday to grab some healthy eats!
