Hi, this is the she who is seeking podcast.
The podcast for the insatiably, curious mystic, witch and weirdo.
Where I explore themes like spaciousness, dreams, fear and pleasure with curiosity.
What do I think?
I know and perhaps more importantly, what am I missing?
I'm Meena Melissa Leigh.
And I'm excited to explore topics like how cultivating space brought
me back online from overwhelm and the deep sadness I was in for over a year.
How posturing bravery broke the crippling cycle of fear.
Cultivating wildness as an act of freedom and resistance.
And how doing things my own way, rather than following the rules and structures
set by others finally allowed me to get back into flow and in touch with my magic.
And finally move forward with projects like this one.
It's been a really long time of thinking about this project.
And it's time for me to put my money where my mouth is.
I hope you'll join me and remember that even the first season of a
really good show can be terrible.
So hopefully you'll give me a chance.
I'll share my experience in a way that hopefully goes down easy.
And I hope that you'll always find a useful nugget or two to take with you.
I also may be having some special guests.
And I will be making mistakes.
But I'll always share deeply with honesty and playfulness.
As well as sincerity.
And on that note, I WILL make mistakes.
Not might.
But I will.
And that's kind of jangling to know, like it's a little intense for my
nerves to know that, but it's true and I'm always learning and reassessing.
And it will never be my intention to share a hurtful viewpoint.
And it could be at that time that I was recording I hadn't run across
the right information to help me make really great choices about what to
share, or it could just be straight up ignorance on my part, and I apologize.
But I think that's okay.
I'd rather learn and evolve, then shun really tough topics.
Or hide out being too afraid to get called out on some bullshit.
But I want to normalize learning from mistakes.
And I'm going to say that again.
I want to normalize learning from mistakes.
It can be a painful process for everybody.
Literally every human can experience growing pains trying
to become a better person.
We are always in a state of transition.
Hopefully that transition is always towards growth and bravery.
And doing the right thing.
But learning how to be a better human and raise better humans and model
that for the people we encounter day in and day out is not easy.
So, yes, I will make mistakes and I encourage you to make
mistakes too, because we learn from them and we can really grow.
And yes.
It would be much easier to not have to be vulnerable, but that's how we learn.
And I would rather be honest, and vulnerable and try to do the right
thing, than sit and be safe and keep any gems of learning that I
could share with people just because I'm afraid to look wrong or dumb.
It's really easy to do that.
And I don't blame anybody who does.
But I'm going to try to be.
Different.
And I'm in a train to.
Always just really dig deep for you and I'm going to just go for
it and make mistakes all the time.
Like literally all the time, probably, uh, I make mistakes every day.
I'm pretty sure that I do.
Sometimes it's just that we're too.
Kind of in that place of doing that, we don't realize that
we're not doing the right thing.
And on the right side or not taking the right steps.
And again, I think that's okay.
As long as we're willing to learn.
So I am going to model that right here.
And hopefully you can give me a little grace because I'm going to need it.
And another thing.
This is where I will mention that I'm not a medical or mental health professional.
And I fully endorse having a relationship with those who are.
And it feels very important to share that with you.
And also I've been in the space where I've needed that.
And it has seemed too overwhelming to even find those resources on my own.
So if that's true for you, reach out to somebody that you trust and who's smart.
And who can help you find some great medical professionals or mental health
professionals and get you hooked in with some of those services that you need.
Okay.
So now that I've said that I am so excited to talk more with
you guys about things like.
What I've shed to make space for the important things.
Things like being able to do this podcast, even having the mental
bandwidth to be able to do that.
And things like how I hold boundaries and what I say no to that, I can really
do the things that I do want to do.
Also, I am not kidding.
When I say that spirit and I discussed over a hundred topics on
the very first day that I decided that I was going to do this thing,
and so I have a lot to talk about.
And that is not even including conversations that I hope to
be having with amazing guests, and picking their brain.
And I have to tell you, I am a very curious person.
So I will be asking some, some questions.
Of myself and others.
Another thing that I hope is that you can offer me- show some patience um,
if you can offer me patience then I can figure out how to do this thing,
and get on a schedule and get better at editing and all that other technical
stuff that has held me back in the past.
So I hope that you will subscribe.
To She Who Is Seeking.
Anywhere that you get your podcasts and I will be back soon.
Most likely to talk about overcoming fear and embracing bravery.
And I just want to thank you for everyone who's gotten to the end of this
little intro it means so much to me.
And I hope that I can repay you by developing a podcast that offers
you some brightness and hopefully a little bit of wisdom in a funny way.
And I hope that you'll join me again.
And I just can't wait to talk to you and we can get braver and smarter and
live our dreams and learn together.
And I love you all so much.
Blessed Be to you and yours and I will talk to you soon.
