In this special New Year's episode of Connection Matters, we honour the profound threshold between 2025 and 2026—the crossing from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse. Through ceremony, reflection, and release practices, you'll learn how to witness your year without judgment, offer what's ready to go to the fire, and open to receive what your spirit is calling you toward in 2026.
Standing at the year's threshold, many of us are feeling that nagging sense that something needs to shift. But how do we actually know when we're living our truth versus living the life we think we should be living? In this intimate conversation, I explore the essential self underneath all the conditioning, share what surprised me most about my own journey from conflict zones to connection work, and reveal why the darkness of this season might be exactly what we need.
What if sitting with fire all night could burn away everything holding you back from your calling? In this episode, I share my recent fire quest experience and the profound lessons about commitment, transformation, and stepping fully into your purpose that emerged from the flames.

In this episode, we explore how to recognise when resistance is actually your soul calling you toward change, and the compassionate practices that help you move through stuck places without forcing or shaming yourself.
What if the exhaustion you feel isn't just from being too busy, but from grief you've never been allowed to express? In this profound conversation with storyteller and grief ritualist John, we explore how ancient practices of grief work, ritual, and nature connection offer the medicine our modern world desperately needs.
When the world feels like it's contracting around you, your personal vision becomes your most powerful tool. In this episode, I share how I moved through fear and despair by reconnecting to my deeper vision, and I'll guide you through creating your own.
Join me, Leona, as I explore the profound and human journey of Annette Knopp, meditation teacher, counsellor, and author of Mystic Nomad. In this episode, we dive into spiritual seeking, personal healing, and what it truly means to live a life of connection and authenticity.
What if the key to healing our divided world lies in creating safe spaces for everyone, including men, to do deep inner work? In this powerful conversation with men's healing facilitator Hugh Newton, we explore why men's emotional healing isn't just beneficial for men, it's essential for creating the balanced, connected world we all long for.
What happens when you stop living from "shoulds" and start designing a life around your actual values? In this deeply personal episode, I share three conscious choices that completely transformed how I experience freedom, growth, and work-life alignment.
This summer, my daughter is leaving primary school and we're trying something completely different.....staying home more than ever before. I'm sharing the conscious parenting foundations that need to be in place for this new rhythm to actually work for all of us.

In this deeply important episode, I share how to stay connected and grounded while witnessing the unprecedented reality of a televised genocide, offering sacred practices and practical tools for processing collective trauma without shutting down or becoming overwhelmed.
How do we come home to ourselves through nature, beauty, and deep listening? In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Leona is joined by Vicky Mateu—educator, nature guide, and co-facilitator of both the Children, Nature and Spirituality course and the Nature Quest within Leona’s year-long Connection Matters Leadership Programme. Together they share stories, challenges, and soulful wisdom from years of walking the path of connection, simplicity, and inner guidance.

In this soul-nourishing solo episode, I share my personal journey from minimalist functionality to intentional beauty, and how creating sacred space at home has become an everyday spiritual practice and anchor for connected self-leadership. From toddler-made altars to solo rituals of presence, I reveal how our homes can reflect who we truly are—and become spaces of healing, transformation, and connection.
