You Matter and Your Impact is Profound
I created "The Art of Mattering" to empower professional moms to own their Reason Why and embrace their impact.
When I believe I matter, I make choices like this:
- I set clear boundaries
- I eat wholesome food
- I exercise
- I prioritize sleep
- I cultivate meaningful connections
- I lose myself in my favourite books
- I practice meditation
- I walk my dog
- I hug my spouse
- I reflect through journaling
- I pursue work that ignites me
When I truly believe I make an impact, I make daily choices that align with my Reason Why. The world around me responds, encouraging me to show up and be more of who I am. It tells me that my presence matters and that I would be missed if I were not here.
This is the Art of Mattering
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. -Marianne Williamson
Are You Ready to Break Free? Tired of Living By Someone Else's Rules?
I've been there...
- You feel the whisper of a greater purpose yet find yourself trapped in the daily grind, searching for someone who truly understands.
- Every decision feels impossible between your family's needs and your career aspirations, leaving you torn and exhausted.
- You're drowning in expectations – always striving to be the perfect mother, professional, and partner – while your own dreams slip further away.
- Deep down, you've lost connection with yourself. When you dare to voice your needs, guilt follows like a shadow, whispering "selfish."
- Your mind races with "what-ifs" and missed opportunities, while fear of judgment keeps you playing small.
There is something more calling you. Can you feel it?
The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of its parents - Carl Jung
Imagine instead...
- You finally reconnected with that quiet voice within, the one that knows your true worth beyond roles and expectations.
- Every decision flowed from a place of self-trust, allowing you to honour your dreams and relationships.
- You moved through your days with intention rather than exhaustion, fully present in each moment because you've claimed time and space for yourself.
- The guilt that once haunted you transformed into gentle self-compassion, giving you permission to grow and evolve.
- Your fears of "what-ifs" became whispers of "what's possible" as you stepped into your full, messy, beautiful potential.
This journey of transformation awaits you...
Together, we'll create space for you to:
- Navigate life's complexity with grace, moving beyond the myth of perfect balance
- Make choices aligned with your deepest truth, trusting your inner wisdom
- Build genuine courage and self-compassion in a world that demands too much
- Design your days with purpose, nurturing the relationships that matter most
- Connect to a circle of women who understand your journey and celebrate your growth
Remember, your journey to wholeness isn't selfish—it's necessary. Your transformation ripples out to touch every life you meet. The time to begin is now.
If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.” ― Joseph Campbell
Hi, I'm Leslie
Why does "I Matter" matter?
Mattering goes deeper than belonging or connection. It's a fundamental human need—the profound realization that you make a meaningful difference and are irreplaceable in others' lives.
A Common Thread Among Women
In my work with women in their late 30s and 40s, I've witnessed a pattern emerge: a quiet restlessness, a hunger for deeper purpose, and uncertainty about what lies ahead.
When I ask about their impact on the world, they often pause. Behind their hesitation lies something familiar—a lingering doubt about their significance. At their core, brilliant and capable women struggle to believe they matter enough to create meaningful change.
Recognizing your significance isn't about ego. It's about embracing a fundamental truth: you matter —your presence ripples through countless lives, and you deserve to receive love from others and, crucially, from yourself.
Your Reason Why
My work centers on revealing your natural impact, celebrating your distinct contributions, and amplifying your influence on the world. I call this uncovering your Reason Why.
I've set an ambitious vision: to empower 10,000 women to discover their deeper purpose—their unique Reason Why.
"When a critical number of people change how they think and behave, the culture does also, and a new era begins." - Jean Shinoda Bolen
Are you ready to OWN that you matter? I would love to work with you.
If not now, when?

The Art of Mattering Program
This isn't another self-help program telling you to "find balance" or "lean in." It's your roadmap to claiming Your Reason Why. It invites you to amplify your unique contribution while honouring every dimension of your life – career, family, and personal growth. When you discover your Reason Why, you unlock an unwavering source of motivation and resilience that transforms how you show up in every role.
Discover Your Essential Place in the World
When you deeply know that you matter, you naturally rise to contribute your unique gifts to the world.
Mattering is that profound sense that you make a difference, that your presence is valued, and that your absence would be felt. It's the beautiful cycle where feeling significant inspires you to create meaningful impact.
Two Paths Converging: The Journey to Mattering
The Art of Mattering has two core components:
- The Art of Mattering Program - Internal Mattering
- The Art of Mattering Community - External Mattering
When these internal and external elements align, they create a transformative force that amplifies both personal growth and collective impact.
The Art of Mattering Program
Internal mattering is developed by defining your Reason Why. It is strengthened with clarity of values, self-compassion, reframing and a daily practice of becoming.
The Art of Mattering Community
External mattering is developed by joining this intentional community. This space is where you contribute ideas, share dreams, and support others on their journey toward their Reason Why.
