Life Between Coasts S2 E26: Between What Was and What is to Come

In this Season 2 finale, Leah takes a moment to pause and reflect. From the stories that stayed with her to the deeper “why” behind Life Between Coasts, this episode is a window into both the podcast and the person behind the mic.  She shares where life has been stretching her lately, what this season has taught her, and how those lessons are shaping what comes next.  It’s personal, it’s thoughtful, and it’s a gentle reminder that growth doesn’t always come with a clear plan—but it always leaves a mark.  And as always, the journey continues.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463878/support]

Life Between Coasts S2 E25: Engineered for Change, Building a Smarter Way into Real Estate

This week on Life Between Coasts, Leah sits down with John G. for a conversation that goes far beyond business. While John shares about his latest venture and what he’s building next, the heart of this episode lives in the space between structure and soul.

From the culture of engineering and the way engineers are wired to think, to the very human skills we all need when stepping into something new, this conversation finds surprising common ground. It’s about logic and intuition. Stability and risk. Systems and self. Whether you’re in the middle of a pivot or simply questioning what’s next, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how we adapt, evolve, and build lives that actually fit who we are becoming.

Life Between Coasts S2 E24: Write it While You're Here

This week on Life Between Coasts, Leah sits down with Jill Clair. Entrepreneur, co-founder, and someone who knows what it means to stop waiting and start living with urgency. After a cancer diagnosis shifted everything, Jill didn’t slow down… she got clearer. Clear on her purpose, her voice, and the impact she wanted to make. What followed is a story of grit, perspective, and choosing to go all in on what actually matters. Together, Leah and Jill talk about the power of sharing your story, why your message isn’t something to sit on, and how a book can become more than just words on paper, it can open doors, build businesses, and change lives (including your own). But more than that, this conversation is about time… and what we choose to do with it. It’s honest, motivating, and full of the kind of real talk that sticks with you long after the episode ends. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start something… this might be your sign. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463878/support]

Life Between Coasts S2 E23: G L O W

This week on Life Between Coasts, Leah sits down with Stephanie, founder of Firefly Scout, for a conversation that feels as natural as it is inspiring. What starts as a look into her business quickly becomes something deeper, a reflection on what it really takes to choose a new path, trust your instincts, and build a life that actually feels aligned. Stephanie shares the heart behind Firefly Scout and the idea of “GLOW” and not as a buzzword, but as a way of being. A return to self. A willingness to step into something different, even when it’s uncertain. There’s an ease between Leah and Stephanie that you can feel from the start — from unintentionally matching outfits to mirroring energy, this episode is a true example of human connection unfolding in real time. It’s honest, grounding, and quietly powerful; less about the “how,” and more about the why behind choosing to shine. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463878/support]
