What happens when life looks “perfect” on the outside: healthy kids, a loving partner, a meaningful career, but inside you feel like you’re withering away? In this powerful episode, I sit down with art therapist and creative entrepreneur Leah Guzman to talk about her dark night of the soul and the transformation it sparked.
Leah shares how overwhelm, anxiety, and depression led her to rediscover her art, set boundaries, and finally listen to what her soul was asking for. From journaling at 2 a.m. to creating children’s books and building an online membership, Leah’s story is proof that honoring your desires and creativity can bring healing, growth, and even ripple effects into the lives of others.
We explore:
✨ The signs you’re in a “dark night of the soul” (and why nothing has to look “wrong” for it to happen)✨ How art and journaling can be tools for healing and clarity✨ Why people-pleasing and lack of boundaries keep you stuck and how to break free✨ The ripple effect of small changes that unlock bigger dreams✨ Practical ways to listen to your soul and say yes to what truly lights you up
If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting “more,” struggled with burnout, or longed to step into a bigger version of yourself, this conversation will leave you inspired and equipped with tools to start your own renewal.
