Messy Imperfect Life With Leigh Koechner

I love Kristi Lee. We were fast friends the moment we met. I had the chance of doing her podcast a while back https:/kristileenews.com/lovely-leigh-koechner/ now I get to have this amazing woman on mine! Join us live tomorrow on my Leigh Koechner Facebook page to watch us gab live 1pm pst. I can’t wait!      Kristi Lee is on the nationally syndicated radio show The Bob & Tom Show. She is the mother of two daughters, Ava and Sophie, has been married and divorced three timesand still has it going on!    During her six-month break from Bob and Tom, Lee began hosting a podcast titled Kristi Lee Uninterrupted, which debuted on April 5, 2016. The podcast is affiliated with Dr. Will's Neighborhood. Its title is a reference to Griswold's habit of constantly interrupting her Bob and Tom Show news reports. Lee announced that she will continue to produce her podcast.

Leigh has one of her favorite people, Missy Anderson, on the podcast!

I adore Chicagoan Neil Flynn. He has been a part of my life since I met my husband in 96. I have watched their Beer Shark Mice Improv shows every Saturday night for 10 years. Neil is badass on stage and in the tele where you have seen him in Scrubs and The Middle. Neil is smart, sexy, kind, and thinks he knows all he wants out of life, but I am going to bring a little extra splash of sunny into his day (whether he likes it or not). Dig on him ladies. #iloveneilflynn   

I heard about Dana Perri when JK Simmons won an Oscar for Whiplash and thanked Dana for getting him into shape for the film. Two days later I was doing an exercise class I didn’t particularly like when a woman next to me mentioned Dana Perri’s Shift workout. I recognized the two signs shouting Dana Perri and showed up at her studio the next day. I loved the class! it was exactly what I was looking for and I’ve been there now for about 1 1/2 years.  Dana is driven, focused and a one woman show. What I love is that she is now being gentle with herself and knows that she is not alone and doesn’t have to work so HARD. I applaud that SHIFT Dana Perri! check her out http://www.shiftbydp.com  

I met Jana’s sweet southern ass in a spiritual class.  When I sized her up, as women do, I saw kindness, openness and delight for life. We exchanged info after the first class and followed each other on instagram (where I was blown away by her beautiful art and the magical vibe she created on her IG feed check it out @janawilliamsphotos_ or here on Facebook @janawilliamsphotography (your welcome)). As I read her instagram posts I was moved by the inspirational words that accompanied her art. I am tickled to have her on my podcast and we look forward to supporting from here on out.  
 Jana Williams grew up in a small town in Alabama in an unbelievably unstable environment. She overcame her story of unworthiness to create the messy life of her dreams. I am proud of her. Jana says, "I always go the extra mile to take care of my clients during a shoot. I understand that being in front of the camera can be scary and I never allow my clients to feel alone. We are in this together.” All of my work is based on the

When I saw Mary Jo across the black top at my kid’s school, I thought she was too polished and sophisticated for me to approach (it was my old thought of not being enough). Shortly thereafter I ran into her at an event and connected instantly with her polished sophisticated self.     I love that when you do the work on yourself and you keep moving forward in sharing your gifts, the universe brings you the exact people at the exact moment you are ready to fully receive them. Mary Jo Eustace came into my life with the same vision and desire as I. We are co-creating, along with Wendy Euler, a very powerful platform to connect, uplift and unleash women. I couldn’t have hand-picked better women to work with and I didn’t have to because we were all walking to the same place, for the same desire, and magically came each other. I LOVE this life!   Mary Jo Eustace: Canadian Actress, Singer and Chef best known as co-host of the Canadian cooking TV series "What's for Dinner?". Author of "Divorce Sucks: What to do when

I can’t help it, but I keep meeting and falling in love with inspiring women on my messy imperfect life with leigh podcast. Gillean Mcleod is something else (check out her instagram @gilleanmcleod). Her life changed dramatically at 51 when her marriage of 22 years fell apart. Her body ached for about a year and she felt devastated as she began thinking of her future and how she would take care of herself as it was the first time in her life on her own. Cut to 12 years later at 63 where she is one of the most sought after models today. Thank you Gillean for showing us that ALL things are possible! She created a whole new amazing and empowering chapter for her self. Rock on sister.

Wendy Euler from @GoodbyeCropTop is my special guest in the latest messy imperfect life podcast!

Stay tuned for some badass stuff we've got in the works. 

I met Becky Hosmer on a flight to Aspen. I thought I was whispering while talking to a friend, but apparently I was talking loud because this cute serious blonde girl turned around and shot me a look.  I knew we would be friends by the end of the flight (whether she liked it our not). And here she is on my podcast today. Becky is the founder and designer behind the Anna Beck jewelry line. The name comes from her given name, Becky Anne. Becky finds inspiration through her love of travel and says that each piece she designs is a labor of love that starts with an experience or a feeling. Her jewelry is handmade in Bali using a centuries-old Balinese technique. She is an amazing woman changing the world one charity at a time. Check out her labor of love at https://www.annabeck.com

  I heard this lady speak at an event and was blown away by where she came from and what she has created for herself. Born in Los Angeles, Danisha Danielle Houston Wrighster was raised by a single father and a mother who was in and out of her life. She graduated high school early and began her studies at UCLA at the tender age of 16, graduating with a BA degree in Mass Communications with a specialization in Business Administration. She now runs a multimillion dollar commercial real estate company and empowers women to have dominion over their money and bring in more. This is a powerful and empowered broad. I love her beauty, sass, and strength. I also love her new Tesla.

Lynn Ferguson is a storytelling powerhouse. The first time I heard her speak I wanted to be in business with her; wether it be in a class, sharing the stage with her or as luck would have it here on my podcast!  Lynn is a Scottish writer, actress, and story coach. She is the younger sister of comedian Craig Ferguson and is known for voicing the character of Mac in the animated film, Chicken Run. Lynn Ferguson co-founded YouTellYours.com with her husband, Mark Tweddle, providing coaching in live performance storytelling in July 2015. The business has grown to include online tuition, a YouTube Channel now including coaching sessions for business and in solo show construction. She is also a big wig with The Moth. I need to hit her up for a hook up to share my story on The Moth stage!  Check her out.  She is good stuff.   Text LEIGH33 to 44222 for one word to kick to the curb that will change your life!

Steven Agee is a giant man, funny as hell, and has a huge heart. I met him the first time at a wedding in Santa Barbara about 10 years ago. We had a magical night of singing, dancing, joke telling, and cocktailing. He is an artist many times around. Check out his sexy beautiful portraits on Instagram @steveagee. He is an American comedian, actor, and writer, known for his role as Steve Myron on the Comedy Central series The Sarah Silverman Program. He has a podcast called Steve Agee: Uhhh that is updated semi-regularly. He also cohosts a podcast with Busy Philipps called We’re No Doctors where they discuss medical issues. I tried to tell him I would fill in for Busy Phillips when she was busy doing her television show, but he hasn’t called yet. Enjoy this talented, kind, hunk of a man. I did.

Jacqui Pitman and I have been friends for about 30 years.  We have been through it all.  I met her when I was on the reality show STUDS and the Executive Producer Howard Schultz (her mentor)  asked me to work on the show after I recorded my episode. I took his offer and ended up working under Jacqui.  Jacqui is a resilient, big hearted, strong, sexy, hell of a woman. From the moment we met, I knew she would be a tough one to win over, but I knew I wanted to invest the time.  Boy was it worth it. I have had some of my biggest laughs and learnings with her. No matter how often we see each other, she is one of my nearest and dearest and will be until I head back to the stars.  

Holy hell I have never seen legs like hers. She has one of the most radiant spirits I have ever seen. I met Mariel in a green room. I knew her family name and her fame, but I hadn’t experienced her heart. We connected that day and have kept in touch ever since. I am blessed to share the renaissance woman,  Mariel Hemingway, with you today. She is not only an iconic Academy Award nominated actor from a celebrated family, she is a prolific author, adventurist, eco activist, healthy lifestyle and mental health advocate, a yoga video star, an entrepreneur and a much sought after speaker focused on mind-body-spirit optimization and purposeful living. I don't know if that was enough descriptive words to get all of who she is. Enjoy Mariel Hemingway!!!!

I love Sara Benincasa. We met once for coffee a few years back after connecting on Facebook. She is something else. A ballsy brassy broad could be one way to describe her. Check her out on instagram @sarajbenincasa  where you may see her voluptuous breast and where I am not sure if she is ever wearing pants.  Sara is a stand-up comedian, actress, college speaker on mental health awareness, and the author of "Real Artists Have Day Jobs"  "DC Trip" "Great" ; and "Agorafabulous!: Dispatches From My Bedroom". She also wrote a very silly joke book called "Tim Kaine Is Your Nice Dad."  She hosts the podcast "Where Ya From?" and has interviewed Ben Stiller, Adam Pally, Jenny Yang and others about their origin stories (geographic and otherwise.) In 2017, she adapted "DC Trip" as a screenplay with Bona Fide, Gunpowder & Sky, and Adaptive Studios. She also adapted "Agorafabulous" as a pilot for TV with Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. Recent roles include "Corporate" on Comedy Central (2018), "Bill N

Jill Van Lokeren is one of my best friends. When I prayed to God asking for an amazing woman to come into my life, Jill walked in. We travel, drink Rose, and celebrate life together. Jill is an Executive Producer who has worked with Oprah Winfrey for the last 28 years, produced for Maria Shriver and is currently traveling the country as the Creative Director of Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” Book Tour. Jill resides in Los Angeles with her darling husband John and their two cool kids. Such a treat to have this powerful woman on my podcast and as a dear friend.

Mo Collins reminds me of Carol Burnett.  I shared that with her on this podcast. We have known each other for a very long time and have both been through the good and the bad of life. You may know her as an Actress and Comedian from The Walking Dead, F is for Family, or back in the day on FOX's sketch comedy show Mad Tv.  Mo is sexy as hell and currently living in Los Angeles with her beloved, Alex Skuby.

Hi friend! I AM SO EXCITED! MY FIRST PODCAST!!!! (I will be releasing one each week.) Welcome to the messy imperfect life with leigh podcast. Life can be fun, adventurous, ridiculous, miraculous, and messy as hell. The mess is something we all have in common. That comforts me. So often when we are in the mess of our lives we isolate, feel ashamed, or withdraw. I think the mess is the best place to connect. When we connect in the mess, not only do we feel better and start to heal, but we are reminded we are not alone. The mess is where the gold is; where we find our greatest strength and our deepest learnings. Let’s get vulnerable, roll up our sleeves, and get our hands dirty. Let’s extract the gems we have inside, polish them, and share them with the world. Embrace exactly where you are, own your worth, and unleash your Star Power (and I’m not talking about the Hollywood kind)!
