Lindsey Kane Leaverton turned heartache, pain, shame and guilt due to growing up gay in a strictly Christian evangelical community, into gifts to share with the world. And it's all in her book, "Not another Self Help Book, Finding Gifts in the Midst of Life's Sh*t."

  • Personal stories make her book relatable and powerful in an era dominated by AI-generated content.
  • Audience: Women in their 30s to 50s, particularly overwhelmed moms juggling multiple responsibilities.
  • Discusses chronic pain and the journey to understanding its roots in unresolved trauma. Pain caused by repressing her authentic self as a gay woman.
  • Transformation through healing: moving from an adversarial relationship with pain to one of curiosity and growth.
  • The struggle with personal identity as gay in a conservative Christian evangelical community and the pivotal moment of coming out. 
  • The shock and trauma of being rejected by everyone (except her parents). Even her songs and records were returned by the box load to languish in her garage.
  • The book writing process: A meditative calling during the pandemic, evolving from a chronic pain focus to broader life lessons.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
