Messy Imperfect Life With Leigh Koechner

Jeri Lynch joins us!

Earth Angels are everywhere. Scott Carter is one of mine. I did a One-Woman Show "Miss Junior Overland Park" 19 years ago. I set the intention to perform it on Oprah Winfrey's new Oxygen Network. After I did a performance of my show at the HBO Workspace, I got a call from Scott Carter asking if he I was interested in performing my show for a network. I asked which one and Scott replied, "The Oxygen Network." I had the time of my life with Scott. I fell in love with his calm, gentle and kind demeanor. He is a master in all he does. Scott Carter is an 8 Emmy Nominated Executive Producer and Screenwriter who’s well known for such shows as, “Politically Incorrect”, “Real Time with Bill Maher” and the “Root of All Evil”. Carter has also done worked in stand up comedy, Executive Produced for two seasons of “Exhale With Candice Bergen", and written two full-length monologues (“Heavy Breathing” and "Suspension Bridge”) which he performed at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.   "Miss Junior Overland Park"

Jackie Greenberg hales from Canada and has me belly laughing every time I bump into her. She shares her chic style and her straight forward perspectives on parenting and life.    I love this quirky comedic force. Her and her husband Paul Greenberg are a dynamic duo.    Jackie is an actress and writer, known for Not Another Teen Movie (2001), Yes Man (2008) and As Told by Ginger (2000)

I met this lady walking out of the plastic surgeon's office. I had just gotten some lip filler and I saw she had gotten a thing or two too. I found her to be interesting and I loved her perspective on men, freedom and a lot more. So I invited her on my podcast.  Carol Varon is a former stylist that loves travel, photography, and her voluptuous grey hair. She is aging up beautifully.   

I was introduced to MD Complete Skincare Line and Drake Stimson during a promotional stint I did where I used the product, posted about it, and shared before and after pics. I had the chance to have dinner with Drake and his PR team and found him to be a very cool man.  After the promo period ended I noticed how amazing my skin looked and started receiving compliments that I was glowing.  I began reading more about the product and was very impressed with what I read. I reached out to their office angel, Pat Slater, to let her know I wanted to keep using the product and sharing about it. Our relationship is going strong and MD Complete donated 100 units of my favorite products for the swag bags at my messy imperfect life workshop.  I just landed the CEO of MD Complete on my podcast.     Drake Stimson, the CEO of my favorite face product line MD Complete Skincare is in my house! He has dedicated his career for the last 30 years focused on empowering and uplifting women. Thank you for your dedication and commit

Listen to his unbelievably riveting story moving from 10 years of Chronic Severe Pain using the best Western has to offer to Self-Healing. Danny got his Masters in Spiritual Psychology with me, has beautiful blue eyes & a nice butt. I always notice his dashing looks in class, but on this podcast I learned how deeply connected he is to his true-Self. Check him out. He's not married ladies.    Danny says he is just an ordinary guy who lives an extraordinary life. I was a multi-sport athlete growing up and later coached football, baseball and basketball, including winning a National Championship coaching professional women's football with the Sacramento Sirens.

Suzy Prudden is a fireball. She speaks her mind and has lived an incredibly full life doing in one lifetime what most people would do in 10.  She is the co-founder of Itty Bitty Publishing http://www.ittybittypublishing.com/ and has an amazing life story with greats like Oprah, Deepak Chopra, and Louise Hay. She created the life she wanted by saying yes as she went. I really dig her.    SUZY, co-founder of Itty Bitty™ Publishing made her stage debut in a dance recital at the age of two as the lead elephant in a long line of two-years old in a rendition of “The Circus.” It was love at first performance. Suzy never again saw a stage she didn’t want to be on – preferably in the center. At 22, Suzy started a fitness and toddler program at her home – following her mother Bonnie Prudden’s sage advice to “keep ‘em busy” – she founded Suzy Prudden Studios – the first, largest and most successful toddler exercise school in New York City.

Molly Collie everyone!

I met Whitney Ullom at her breath class in Studio City. It was my first time experiencing it. She sat up there with her beautiful petite earthsuit and shining spiritual eyes. She had us close our eyes and follow her breathing. What I experienced was incredible. It was as if I was on acid or drugs and the colors and vibrations I experienced were magical. When it was over I felt i must share that there is so much out there that is available to us to pull power from. We don’t have to just walk around being human and normal. Let’s be extraordinary. I asked her to be on my podcast and this is it. Women this is a must watch / listen. Men you can learn a lot about a woman from this podcast (and yourself). If we follow what she says… we would be a happier Hominina tribe. Whitney Ullom is a sexuality coach for creative women. Ms. Ullom is originally from South Dakota and made a huge move to Los Angeles to pursue film and television but now not only is she doing that, but also helping women embrace all of their bodies

Bernardo Moya is a man of mystery and intrigue. I met him at a The Best You Legacy Calabasas Chapter meeting. He has a lot of knowledge about personal growth and development which he delivered with laser focus and intensity. After the meeting a few of us had a cocktail together in the bar. Bernardo continued to share his point of view and expertise, but now that he wasn’t on stage I was available to jump in and get curious with some of his statements. We had a very nice interaction of laughing, taking over each other and hand slaps...much like we did on this podcast. I do admire him immensely for the success, failure, success, failure, success success success. When Bernardo has an idea that lights him up, he acts on it and is abundantly rewarded. When one idea may crash and he loses everything, he learns from it and creates something bigger. He has amazing conviction and persistence. Bernardo is an entrepreneur, speaker, publisher, TV producer and seminar promoter to some of the biggest names in personal deve

I love Andy Dick. He, like myself, is a free spirit and creates his own path daily.  He is an uninhibited free bird who has messiness like the rest of us, he just happens to be in the public eye so we are all privy to it.  Andy is an American comedian, actor, musician, and television and film producer. He best known as a comic, he is also known for his eccentric behavior, drug stuggles, and wild sexual stories. I am so grateful there weren’t camera phones when I was living la vida loca!   His first regular television role was on the short-lived but influential Ben Stiller Show. In the mid-1990s, he had a long-running stint on NBC's NewsRadioand was a supporting character on Less than Perfect. He briefly had his own program, The Andy Dick Showon MTV. He is noted for his outlandish behavior from a number of Comedy Central Roasts and other appearances.   Andy Dick for President!     

Manon Mathews is a Rockstar! We connected in a stand up comedy class @prettyfunnywomen where she told me she used to wait on my husband and i at the Daily Grill she long to have a relationship like we did one day. The next time we saw each other again, we were in a spirituality class. I relate to her because we are both unapologetically who we are.  We are connected to our power and vulnerable at the same time. Manon Matthews was the #1 Vine star where she ultimately amassed a fan base of over 3,000,000 followers and accrued over 1,400,000,000 loops until Vine was unceremoniously shuttered. Now she is an instagram sensation, a major influencer and social media personality. Check out her humor and see her heart.

Leigh has on the incredible, and amazing Lauren Powers!

Leigh has on the simple wonderful, Marsha Gleit!

One of the best lessons I have learned & embraced during my time on this planet besides forgiveness is surrender. I usually surrender when I am on my knees and can no longer handle what I have been trying to do, when I am so worn out i have no where else to go. My desire is that the times between my knees and surrender are shorter and shorter.   When you move from your head to your heart, trust the process, and let go the worry, you allow something greater than yourself to step in . When i have done this things turned out better than i could have ever imagined.    Surrender is the greatest gift to give yourself.  It might feel scary and uncomfortable at first, but it is absolutely worth it! This podcast is all about surrender; how I learned to do it, what happened when I did, and the magic that came.
