Life’s Gonna Life: Choosing Joy and Getting Back Up with Lesley Stegmeier

When life keeps knocking you down, how do you keep getting back up?

In this episode of The Shift, Amy Pechacek sits down with Lesley Stegmeier for an unfiltered conversation on resilience, joy, and taking back the driver’s seat in your own life. Lesley shares her journey from building a thriving business to rebuilding after heartbreak, divorce, and the moments that could have kept her down for good.

Lesley is a business owner, real estate broker, mom, and self-proclaimed wannabe comedian who knows what it means to choose joy when it’s the harder choice. She opens up about:

  • Finding joy in the smallest, everyday moments
  • Breaking free from a victim mentality that almost cost her everything
  • Setting boundaries that protect your peace and energy
  • The power of starting small when life feels overwhelming

Whether you’re facing a personal challenge, rebuilding after loss, or ready to create a life you actually want to wake up to—this conversation will inspire you to get back in the driver’s seat.
