In this powerful episode of Redefining Possible with Peyton Hoffman, we sit down with Leah Lahkiah—LA-based inspirational pop artist, worship leader, and the founder of ONNAROL Paint Co.—for an honest conversation about what it really means to redefine success as a creative.

Raised in Kentucky and Ohio and now rooted in Los Angeles, Leah has built a unique artistic identity that blends soulful depth, country twang, and bold pop hooks—delivering music filled with healing, hope, and faith. But beyond the stage, she’s also a thriving entrepreneur who paints homes, transforms spaces, and proves that artistry doesn’t have to fit into one box.

Leah opens up about the inner conflict many creatives face: the lie that you can’t be both an artist and a business owner without “giving up” on your dream. After a season of financial drought and a deep spiritual surrender in late 2024, Leah experienced a shift—one that brought unexpected provision, new relationships, and opportunities that once felt out of reach.

She shares how choosing “the hard” of ownership and independence ultimately brought freedom, how obedience changed her creative path, and how her identity as a loved child of God has shaped everything—from her songwriting to her leadership.

We also dive into her latest single “Brand New” (inspired by a powerful Romans 6 encounter), the dance remix release, and what’s coming next: her 6-song project Surrender arriving in early 2026, along with a pre-release celebration.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re allowed to pursue multiple callings—or if surrendering control might actually be the key to unlocking everything—you won’t want to miss this episode.
