So much stuff is happening inside and outside of you. You’ve got ideas, dreams, responsibilities, and stuff that gets in your way. It can feel groovy one minute and devastating the next.

Do you want to run from it all because you don’t know what to do to get to the other side of being the REAL YOU?

Are you hiding behind a mask as the person you think you should be or are expected to be in your life, relationships, and career? 

The problem with wearing the mask is it limits you. It holds you hostage. It can even imprison you for a lifetime and stop you from being the REAL YOU.

You may think you can outsmart the REAL YOU, but you can’t! 

The REAL YOU is the guardian of your ideas and dreams. 

The REAL YOU’s mission is to make sure your ideas and dreams see the light of day. 

The world is waiting for the REAL YOU to arrive. And so are you!

You may be thinking, how can I arrive when I don’t know how or I am afraid?

You need a safe haven to arrive as the REAL YOU where you can nurture, transform, and celebrate yourself with loving kindness, compassion, nonjudgment, patience, and forgiveness.

My Thriving Mindfully System of 5 Core Commitments was born out of the lessons I have learned, my mindful self-care certifications and Human Design studies, the strategies I have used over the past 30+ years, the work I have done in my wellness company, and the three mindfulness books I have written. 

I discovered mindfulness, self-care, and wellness when my career as a lawyer, an investment banker, and a digital communications professional stressed me out, caused burnout, and did not produce the level of success I expected. During my healing journey, my parents insisted I work with an African American woman therapist. Therapy helped me understand myself better and tap into the love, positive energy, and support of family, friends, and sacred and safe communities.

Therapy also opened the door to my study and practice of meditation, yoga, reiki, sound healing, journaling, art-making, creative writing, and Human Design. These modalities helped me develop self-care practices, navigate change, and become resilient.

As a result, I decided I wanted to help others take better care of themselves, navigate change, be resilient, and live fulfilling lives. So I became a certified yoga and mindfulness meditation teacher, a digital wellness educator, a reiki master practitioner, a sound healer, and an artist-in-residence for Smith Center for Healing and the Arts at Howard University Hospital and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Today, I lead Ananda Leeke Consulting, a wellness company, and the Thriving Mindfully Academy, an online learning platform and membership site. Through my work, I am able to hold space for and support the growth and resiliency of mission-driven individuals, companies, organizations, and communities.

If you choose to do nothing the cost will be so much more than the investment of coaching. Looking back I have to admit that had I known the impact coaching would have made on my life, relationships, and career years ago, I would have done anything to hire a coach. Whether you join the Thriving Mindfully as the REAL YOU Program or not, you gotta do something NOW. If nothing changes NOW, then tomorrow will be exactly the same.

Here’s what doing nothing will cost you:

• Your birthright of joy will slip through your fingers because dwelling in the same place you’ve been will leave you frustrated, angry, and burned out. It is a joy killer, for sure! Every day becomes so heavy. That heaviness will come from being confused, fearful, and doubtful. It will only increase with time. 
• Your peace of mind will be compromised as the heaviness of confusion and doubt increase daily. They will weigh you down and diminish the clarity you need to move forward in your life, relationships, and career.
• Procrastination will become your BFF and an uninvited roommate. The longer it stays around, the more power it will gain and ultimately force you into a timeout that doesn’t have an expiration date.
• Your relationships will begin to get off track because you are not honoring your relationship with yourself first. 
• As you begin to experience deeper emotions of anger, frustration, and impatience, the way you show up and communicate with family, friends, and colleagues will get messy and unhealthy.

Take a pause for the cause which is YOU and breathe deeply 3X. Notice your body. Observe how the breath moves in and out of your body. Place your hand on your heart and focus on your heart beat. Now ask yourself this question.

How do you want to show up in your life, relationships, and career in the next 90 days?
