In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, mindset and embodiment guide Tanya Lleigh shares her journey from personal tragedy to becoming a powerful force in the coaching world. As an NLP Master Practitioner and Instructor, EFT Practitioner, Matrix Therapies Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, and Life Coach, Tanya blends science, intuition, and energetic tools to help people unlock their potential and transform their lives.

Her path into coaching began with her own healing. After experiencing deep loss, a coach helped her rebuild her life, inspiring her to guide others through their own transformations. Later, Tanya realized that passion and skill were not enough. Coaches also need systems, structure, and support behind the scenes. This led to the creation of Coach Core, a holistic platform built by coaches for coaches, designed to simplify the business side of coaching and help leaders reach the people they are meant to serve.

After a childhood marked by emotional neglect, trauma, and bullying, Kayla found refuge in writing and creativity.

Through her ReWrite Me method and her podcast, Embodied Writing Warrior, Kayla helps high-achieving women turn their lived experiences into powerful narratives that restore worth, voice, and wildness. She blends creativity, emotional regulation, archetypal storytelling, and movement to help women rise from the ashes and create lives that feel like art.

In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, spiritual author and entrepreneur Bill Pautler shares his remarkable journey of faith, resilience, and awakening. Raised Catholic and driven by a lifelong desire to know if God was real, Bill’s life shifted during a Bible study when he was encouraged to invite Jesus into his heart. On a bicycle ride afterward, he prayed, and what followed was two days of uncontrollable tears. That experience opened the door to a lifetime of spiritual insight, deep connection, and profound encounters with the presence of God.

Bill has weathered two divorces, multiple failed businesses, homelessness, near-death experiences, and moments of heartbreak with his own children. Through it all, he has remained committed to spiritual growth, leading a spiritual book club for 15 years and writing about the practical tools and awareness needed to recognize the God within. This conversation explores faith, awakening, and the resilience that allows us to rise through life’s deepest trials.

In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, Trauma Recovery Mentor and Survival Mode Disruptor, Leticia Francis, shares her powerful story of rising from childhood trauma, domestic violence, and years of high-functioning survival into a life of radical ownership and reinvention. By the age of 14, trauma had already shaped her world, and for years she excelled on the outside while silently drowning on the inside.

Leticia learned the truth that survival mode is not strength. It is a trap. Today she helps high-achieving women break free from autopilot living, release toxic cycles, and reclaim their power. Through her Survival Mode Exodus Membership, high-touch coaching, and bold teaching style, she guides women to rewrite their stories and choose reinvention as the destination, not coping. This conversation is raw, disruptive, and deeply liberating.
