In this powerful episode of Beverly Explains It All, we’re having a deeply honest conversation about shame, healing, and what it really takes to come home to yourself. My guest—a former TV anchor, Leslie Draffin, who looked “perfect” on the outside—opens up about living with a secret diagnosis, battling anxiety, disconnection, and the pressure to hold it all together.
Through vulnerability, spiritual exploration, and radical self-reclamation, she found her way back to her body, her voice, and her purpose. Now, she helps women over 30 release shame, reconnect with their feminine power, and remember who they truly are.
We talk about:
- Healing beyond talk therapy
- Why pleasure is a powerful path to transformation
- Rewriting your story after hitting rock bottom
- Tuning into your body as a guide to your truth
If you've ever felt stuck, unworthy, or disconnected from yourself — this episode is your permission slip to start again, powerfully and authentically.
