The holidays are here and while the season is filled with light and celebration, many of us also feel the familiar weight of exhaustion, pressure, and the quiet belief that rest has to be earned. In this grounding and emotional episode, Leanna shares her own story of pushing past her limits for years, mistaking her body’s signals as weakness instead of the deep wisdom they were. She opens up about chronic fatigue, burnout, and the nervous system patterns that made slowing down feel impo...
This week, Leanna turns toward the next generation, the young adults navigating identity, independence, and inherited patterns of pressure. Through the lens of nervous-system science and generational healing, she explores how belonging is a body state, not a performance. You’ll hear how family dynamics, cultural expectations, and even our biology (Yehuda et al., 2016) shape the way we seek connection, and how the 4Ns framework (Notice, Name, Nurture, Navigate) can help you shift from avoidanc...
Parenting isn’t just about what we say. It's about what our nervous system communicates. In this episode, Leanna shares how co-regulation, attunement, and the 4Ns can transform daily stress into connection. You’ll hear: ✨ Why children sense our stress even when we say “I’m fine.” ✨ How age-appropriate honesty builds safety. ✨ Why “Because I said so” can disconnect and what to say instead. ✨ How the parts of us that never got repair often show up to parent. ✨ Simple ...
The day before Thanksgiving, or any family gathering, can stir up more than recipes and to-do lists. Our nervous system remembers past experiences and prepares us for what’s ahead, often long before the moment arrives. In this episode, Leanna shares how family, food, and the body intertwine and why our survival patterns at the table are never random. You’ll hear personal reflections, somatic insights, and a gentle guided practice you can use to find your way back to regulation, no matter what...
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my husband, David, for an honest conversation about what 25 years of marriage, and a whole lot of nervous-system learning, have taught us about love, communication, and repair. We talk about how silence once showed up as protection in our relationship, what it took to find our way back to safety, and how learning to regulate ourselves has changed the way we connect. You’ll hear us reflect on: How inherited patterns of silence and stress shaped our early y...
Silence can be both protection and prison. In this powerful episode of The NeuroHeir Podcast, Leanna explores how silence often born from trauma, fear, or survival can be passed down through generations as an inherited nervous system pattern. Through personal reflection, client stories, and powerful research, Leanna unpacks how our bodies learn that quiet means safety and how that very silence can become a cage. You’ll learn how unspoken family rules like “keep the peace” or “we don’t talk ab...
What if your healing isn’t about breaking cycles but repairing them? In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I introduce the concept of Legacy Repair and what it means to become a NeuroHeir—someone who consciously tends to their nervous system inheritance. Through my own story of rediscovering my late father’s journals and powerful research on intergenerational trauma, I explore how silence, survival, and family patterns shape the way we live, love, and connect today. You’ll learn...
Have you ever caught yourself snapping at someone you love, shutting down mid-conversation, or saying yes when every part of you wanted to say no? In this episode of the NeuroHeir℠ Podcast, Leanna explores the four core survival responses including fight, flight, freeze, and appease, and how they shape our emotional reactions, relationships, and generational patterns. You’ll also learn about the window of tolerance, how stress affects the brain, and why these ancient responses are not f...
Most of us were never taught how to self-regulate. Instead, we learned to push through, shut down, or explode, because that’s what was modeled for us. These aren’t personality flaws; they’re nervous system responses passed down through generations. In this episode of the NeuroHeir℠ Podcast, I share a simple, one-minute grounding practice you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed. You’ll learn why your nervous system reacts before you can think, what “somatic” really means, and how short practi...
Welcome to the very first episode of the NeuroHeir℠ Podcast! In this episode, I share the personal story that sparked both this podcast and my upcoming book, Becoming a NeuroHeir™. From a recurring dream I carried for years, to the sudden loss of my dad, to the realization that silence in families is never neutral, I take you behind the scenes of how this work began. Did you know silence isn’t neutral? That silence carries weight? Unspoken stories can shape nervous system patterns for g...
In this episode of the NeuroHeir℠ Podcast, I share the mission and heart behind this show. and who it’s really for. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much, holding it all together for everyone else, or wondering if there’s a better way forward, this conversation is for you. Did you know that we all inherit a nervous system shaped by the generations before us? Most of us don’t even realize it. Without awareness, we end up repeating patterns, carrying silence, or holding burdens that...
