Show Notes
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Leslie Menich, a 5/1 Splenic Projector and the founder of Live On With Les. We talk about her journey through burnout, chronic illness, mold exposure, and thyroid cancer — and how trusting her intuition pulled her forward when nothing made sense.
We also get into what it looks like to rebuild your life around your energy, why Projectors struggle with burnout, and how clean living, sustainability, and nervous system health all weave together.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or unsure where to start with taking care of yourself… this conversation might be exactly what you need.
