"Be the change you wish to see." Cool quote.

Now what?

as seen in...

let's move from good intentions to conscious

contribution

You've achieved a lot already. I don't think you need any more lessons on how to be 'successful' or how to 'find your purpose.' You know what your values are.

In this time of transition, you've got a choice: stick to the status quo, or pivot towards more meaning, fulfillment and impact.

Let's talk.

here's the

problem

You're stuck between caring and contributing.

You've been telling yourself "I want to give back - I should give back" for months (maybe years).

But even the words 'give back' feel kind of...meh.

And every time you stop to figure out what that actually means for you, you hit the same freakin' walls:

Where do I even start?? (The overwhelm is real.)
Which organizations are legit? (Research hell? No, thank you.)
How would this plan fit into my real life? (I don't have 20 hours a week.)
Will what I do be actually meaningful? (Or am I just checking a box to feel good about myself?)

Then, here's what happens: you procrastinate. You write the same donation checks as last year. You tell yourself you'll do more when 'things settle down' (which they never will).

My friend - you're not fooling anyone.

Especially not yourself.

hi, i'm Leah.

Most people would use this section to tell you how much money they've made

...and that's why you should trust them.

I'm calling BS.

If me dropping the words '7-figures or 8-figures' is what matters most to you - power to ya. I care more about whether you're happy, fulfilled, and proud of the difference you're making. And there's no amount of money that can buy that, it turns out.

Here's what I actually want you to know:

For 20 years, I've been figuring out how to integrate meaningful contribution into my life and career at every stage - and it's looked different at each one.

In my 20s: One hour a week tutoring kids at an after-school center down the street. That's all I had time for, so that's what I gave.

In my 30s: Co-founding a public school in Tanzania while building my business. (I did reach the top 1% of the sales force, and built an organization of thousands, in case you really need some professional credo.) Using the flexibility of my career to work remotely from Africa, first for a year abroad, and then flying in for 2-3 weeks at a time when I could.

After having my first baby: Scaling back the Tanzania trips, finding new ways to contribute that fit my new reality.

With a toddler and one on the way: Moving back to Tanzania for 4 years, after reaching another career milestone.

Today: Helping others figure out what I've spent 20 years discovering—how to integrate contribution into your life in ways that are both fulfilling and effective.

Here's what I learned: There's no magical "arrival moment" when you suddenly have "enough" to make a difference. Because there's always more money to make, if that's the way you think about it. Even if you're approaching retirement, there's no one-size-fits-all path. It looks different for everyone.

The school I co-founded is now the #1-ranked public school academically in its region, with a 100% graduation rate for eight years running. But your path won't look like mine.

And that's the whole point.

More About Leah

Success is nice.

Impact is better

I'm building something NEW. (And I need your help.)

For years, you've asked me how I managed to 'do it all' - to integrate success with service. You say, "I could never do what you did." How do I find my path?

I've guided dozens of you informally over the years, and now I'm formalizing that process into a 90-day structured partnership.

And I'm looking for my first three clients!

If you're at a transition point and ready to figure out what conscious contribution looks like for YOU, I want to talk to you.

"After the [BeMOVED Workshop] I was so much more in tune with feeling moved. Now I'm working with an organization that helps families that are new to the area. I just absolutely love having a stake in making immigrants and refugees know that they are loved and welcomed, and Leah's guidance inspired me to take that action."

She’s absolutely the person to go to when you feel lost in the weeds as she’ll be able to sort through the muck and offer several ideas for completely sensible solutions that were impossible for you to see. Oh, and she’ll have you laughing and having fun while you’re figuring it all out together. She’s absolutely the one to have in your corner."

"MOVED was an unexpected experience of self-exploration to uncover personal motivations, abilities, blind spots, assets and more. I came away feeling like I had the tools to maintain my personal integrity and participate in ways that energize, not deplete, me. Don't expect a lecture; the interactive format utilizes unique methods to shake loose your personal brand and gifts. If you're considering starting or growing a non-profit organization or volunteer position, I would highly recommend this course to help you forge the path ahead."

Rebecca S.

"Leah is a kind and thoughtful guide. She playfully and systematically opens your mind to learn about your place within your vision, and then gives you the tools to move forward.

MOVED will help define who you are, your passion and how to put your vision out there...then lends support to the dream you have for your project."

The Good Work Podcast

Around here, we ask bigger questions: What does it really mean to make a difference? When does generosity become fulfillment? And how do we move from good intentions to meaningful impact — without burning out, getting it wrong, or waiting until we have enough to start?

Sound too serious? Don't worry — we keep it light, we keep it honest, and we always leave room to laugh. Because if ordinary people can't have fun doing extraordinary things - what's the point?
