Leah Guerrero is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. She’s from a small town in South Texas but she’s lived in New York City (where she volunteered through AmeriCorps and later got her masters degree at a prestigious art school), spent extensive time in Botswana working with her best friend to lay the ground work for building the first pediatric hospital there (she also got married in Botswana!), lived in Sydney Australia (before dropping out of Bible College), moved back to her hometown (to teach art at the local school), then followed her husband to California where he found work but she didn’t (or at least not in the way she anticipated) to currently living in the Texas Hill Country where her and her husband currently own and operate The Inn Between, a Bed & Breakfast…and she’s only 32 years old (we think).
I’ve titled this episode “Disappearing (INN) Service” because that’s exactly how I see Leah shining her light in the world. Sometimes we think it’s about being front and center (and it totally can be but it just doesn’t have to be), regarding the service role(s) we play in the world. For Leah that was initially through her art (showing it in galleries, driving an old school bus on a two month journey with the intention of creating an equalizing space for people of all demographics to come together) and do good endeavors with AmeriCorps and her work in Botswana. But today it’s through her role as an innkeeper, hence the title “Disappearing (Inn) Service”, where she provides a loving space for families to make memories together, solo travelers to rest and renew and everything in between (see what I did there? ;)).
In this conversation, Leah shares her outer and inner journey. She shares the major lessons learned (like coming face-to-face with a dominant Type 3 Enneagram’s biggest fear), staying aligned with her inner voice/intuition (something’s she’s known and listened to since she was a little girl), what it means to fit in or have a sense of belonging wherever you are, and we also challenge the myth of selfishness (which, spoiler alert, is what it took for her to see that being an innkeeper was the right next step in her journey).
