In this episode, Leslie welcomes Sara Byers — CEO, thought leader, poet, and co-host of The Collecting Insight Podcast — for a heartfelt conversation on leadership, intuition, and what it really means to live with joy and purpose.
As the CEO of her family’s business and the author of two poetry collections, Heart and Moon and Wise Stars, Sara has spent decades blending practical leadership with soulful awareness. Her mission is simple yet profound: to lighten the burdens we all carry so we can live with more connection, fulfillment, and love.
Together, Leslie and Sara explore:
This conversation is a reminder that leadership can be deeply human — that success and softness can coexist — and that lightening our load is the first step to letting more light in.
