The Women Who Changed You
3d ago00:11:11Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThere are women in your life who changed the trajectory of who you became. Some of them know it. Most of them don't. Some are still in your life. Some aren't. Some shaped you through love, and some shaped you through the very specific education of watching someone get it wrong.In this episode, Leah Pitzenberger slows down to name the women who made her — the mentor who saw something in her before she could see it herself, the colleague who showed her what she didn't want to become, the friend who stayed when staying cost something. She makes the case that becoming who you are doesn't happen alone. It happens in relationship. And the women who contributed to who you're becoming deserve to be named — at least in your own head, on a random Tuesday, when you realize you're still carrying something they gave you.This one will make you want to call someone.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →You Don't Owe Anyone Your Story
1w ago00:09:15Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailSomewhere along the way, women got the message that being open means being available. That vulnerability means unlimited access. That if you've ever shared a struggle publicly, you're now required to share all of them — to anyone who asks, in any form they want, on their timeline.In this episode, Leah Pitzenberger draws a hard line between generosity and obligation. She gets honest about the pressure women feel to explain themselves — their choices, their boundaries, their silence — and why "you don't owe anyone your story" is not a warning against vulnerability. It's a reminder that your story belongs to you. All of it. Even the parts you haven't figured out yet. Even the parts that are still healing. Even the parts you just don't want to share.Privacy is not the same as hiding. And you don't have to justify the difference to anyone.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →The Comparison Trap
2w ago00:08:30Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThere's a woman on your phone right now who is doing more, looking better, and building something bigger than you. Or at least — that's what your brain tells you at 9 PM when you're scrolling instead of sleeping.In this episode, Leah Pitzenberger gets honest about the comparison spiral — why we do it, what it actually costs us, and why social media didn't create the problem (it just gave it a really good delivery system). She talks about the specific kind of comparison that doesn't feel like jealousy, it feels like information. Like evidence that you're behind. And she makes the case that the only metric that has ever mattered is the one you keep ignoring: are you moving toward your own life, or someone else's?This one is for the woman who has ever closed an app feeling worse than when she opened it. Which is all of us.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing? Don’t forget to subscribe to Unleashed and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Transcribe →The Invisible Load You Need to Stop Carrying
3w ago00:11:13Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailYou finished the work day. Made dinner. Got the kids sorted. And now it's 10 PM and you're in bed — and your brain is absolutely not done for the day. The dentist appointment. The permission slip due Thursday. The birthday gift you've been meaning to order for two weeks. The thing you're almost out of at home that you can't remember but you know it was important.Meanwhile, the other adult in your house? Asleep. Like a person who did not spend the last forty-five minutes cataloguing their family's entire operational future in the dark.In this episode, Leah Pitzenberger names what that is: work. Not instinct. Not "just how she is." Work. The cognitive and emotional labor of tracking, anticipating, planning, and managing everything behind the scenes — the kind that runs constantly, shows up on no resume, and is only ever noticed when something goes wrong. This isn't about blame. It's about finally seeing something that's been there all along — so you can stop carrying it alone.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →The Boring Middle: Why Persistence Is the Least Glamorous and Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Do
Apr 2000:12:28Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode of Unleashed, Leah talks about the part of persistence nobody wants to talk about — the boring middle. The long stretch between the exciting leap and the breakthrough where nothing is visibly happening, the results aren’t matching the effort, and quitting feels like the most reasonable option on the table. Through her own experience of building A People Revolution through months of silence, and watching her sons learn the same lesson through wrestling, Leah makes the case that persistence isn’t about being tough — it’s about being willing to be ordinary for longer than feels comfortable. If you’re in the middle right now and wondering if any of it is going to work, this episode is for you.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →Perfect is a Cage
Apr 1300:12:45Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode of Unleashed, Leah takes on the obsession with being perfect — and why it’s the very thing keeping women stuck. Through her own story of panic attacks, relentless self-pressure, and a career that looked like success but felt like a cage, Leah unpacks the difference between high standards and perfectionism, why women are especially vulnerable to tying their worth to their output, and how letting people see you before you’re finished is the most powerful thing you can do. If you’ve ever held yourself back because you couldn’t guarantee the outcome, this episode is your permission slip to stop curating and start living.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →Mean Girls Clubs
Mar 3000:12:55Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode of Unleashed, Leah tackles the uncomfortable truth about adult mean girls clubs — the cliques, the exclusion, and the women who perform sisterhood publicly while tearing other women down in private. Drawing from her own experience of trusting a woman who turned out to be more interested in her own shine than any real partnership, Leah explores why women compete covertly, why scarcity drives us to build small tables instead of big ones, and what it really looks like to support other women — not just on Instagram, but when it’s messy, private, and costs you something. This one’s for every woman who’s ever been on the outside of the circle wondering what she did wrong. Spoiler: she didn’t do anything wrong.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →You Are Not the Problem
Mar 2300:09:08Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode, Leah decodes what "not enough" actually means and why it has nothing to do with the woman being evaluated and everything to do with the mold she was never meant to fit. She gets honest about the years she spent collecting feedback like currency and renovating herself into someone else's blueprint — and what it finally felt like to stop. This one will hit different if you've ever signed up for another leadership program, earned another certification, or softened another edge because someone said "not yet."With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →The Audacity of Rest
Mar 1600:11:09Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode, Leah unpacks why so many women cannot stop. Even when they're sick. Even when their body is literally begging them to. We think it's dedication. We call it resilience. But Leah calls it what it actually is: conditioning so deep it overrides our own immune system. She gets into the parking lot moment that made her rethink everything, why "good girls keep going" is still running our lives decades later, how women perform rest instead of actually resting, and why the guilt that shows up when we finally stop isn't our voice — it's the program.With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?

Transcribe →Stop Building Your Confidence
Mar 1000:09:01Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailEvery book, every coach, every workshop says the same thing: build your confidence and then take the leap. I'm calling BS. Confidence isn't the thing standing between you and the life you want — it's a fake prerequisite that keeps women stuck in preparation mode while everyone else just acts. In this episode, I talk about why the confidence industry is a cage with a prettier label, what I did instead of building confidence, and why "doing it scared" will always beat "waiting until you're ready."With podcast microphone Support the showLove what you’re hearing?
