156. Farewell for Now
In this deeply raw and honest episode of Sit Crooked, Talk Straight, Katie and Leanne open their hearts and share the truth behind a big shift—this might be the last episode for a long minute. 🫣💔What started as a cozy convo wrapped in coffee and blankets turns into a vulnerable look at what it means to let go, trust the process, and follow the nudges of change—even when it hurts. They celebrate the incredible Sarah Wilke, their VA and soul sister, as she steps into her next powerful chapter with Braving Healing—a movement rooted in purpose, advocacy, and truth. 💫You’ll hear behind-the-scenes reflections on the ups, downs, investments, burnout, ego deaths, naps (lol), and the deep sisterhood that’s carried this podcast for three beautiful years. This episode is a love letter to the journey, to the listeners who’ve shown up (yes, even the loyal 16! 🫶), and to the women who keep showing up for themselves in the messy, magnificent middle of life.Katies Book: https://www.amazon.com/Being-Seen-My-Journey-Self-love/dp/B0D1HGS41CLaunch into your 2025 Braving Healing:https://www.youtube.com/@BravingHealingVirtual Retreat: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/launch-into-your-2025-virtual-retreat Join us for exclusive content on Patreon : patreon.com/sitcrookedtalkstraight SCTS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sitcrooked_talkstraight/?hl=en Katie’s Release Page: https://www.facebook.com/releasewithkatie Katie’s website: https://www.releasewithkatie.com/ Katie's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imkatiemyers Leanne’s website: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/ Leanne’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/institute_female_trailblazers/ Leanne’s FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/ezliving.site Leanne’s Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nextlevellifepurpose Leanne'sTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@essentiallyzenful Credits To: Sarah Wilke, Virtual Assistant & PublisherEditor: Guido Bertolinihttps://www.australsound.com/Music: One Night Away Patrick PatrikiosSpecial Thanks to: "To my husband for believing in me and cheering me on when I doubted myself." - Leanne
155. Who Made Time? Rethinking the Clock That Runs Your Life
We’ve got a spicy one for you this week. We hit record mid-laugh because honestly, why the fuck not? This episode is a bit of a "fuck the patriarchy" moment — but with a twist. We’re coming for Father Time this time (pun intended).Ever feel like there’s just never enough time? Like you’re constantly running out of it or not using it "right"? Yeah, same. We’re breaking down why time feels so damn oppressive — especially for women — and spoiler alert: it’s because men basically invented the whole concept of structured time. From biological clocks to career pressures to why we feel guilty for resting, we’re unpacking it all. And guess what? Time isn’t even real the way we think it is.

154. Discrimination Doesn't Exist...Really?!
Hey friends! Buckle up because today’s episode is a ride. We’re diving into a conversation that started in the backseat of a car (literally) and turned into a deep dive on a belief that absolutely is not ours—but definitely exists out there: the idea that discrimination isn’t real. 😳We know. We had the same reaction.But instead of just throwing our hands up in frustration, we’re getting curious. Why do some people think this way? What’s underneath these beliefs? And how do we engage in these conversations without losing our damn minds?Leigh Anne shares a very real (and very patience-testing) exchange with her husband that sparked this whole discussion, and we unpack the three big reasons why some folks deny discrimination—plus how we can respond with compassion without tolerating BS.Katies Book: https://www.amazon.com/Being-Seen-My-Journey-Self-love/dp/B0D1HGS41CLaunch into your 2025 Virtual Retreat: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/launch-into-your-2025-virtual-retreat Join us for exclusive content on Patreon : patreon.com/sitcrookedtalkstraight SCTS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sitcrooked_talkstraight/?hl=en Katie’s Release Page: https://www.facebook.com/releasewithkatie Katie’s website: https://www.releasewithkatie.com/ Katie's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imkatiemyers Leanne’s website: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/ Leanne’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/institute_female_trailblazers/ Leanne’s FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/ezliving.site Leanne’s Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nextlevellifepurpose Leanne'sTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@essentiallyzenful Credits To: Sarah Wilke, Virtual Assistant & PublisherEditor: Guido Bertolinihttps://www.australsound.com/Music: One Night Away Patrick PatrikiosSpecial Thanks to: "To my husband for believing in me and cheering me on when I doubted myself." - Leanne
153. How to Embrace Your Humanness as a Healer
Hey, friends! Grab your coffee and settle in because we’re getting real today. You ever feel like people expect healers, helpers, and guides to have it all together? Like once you step into that role, suddenly you’re supposed to be immune to life’s chaos? Yeah, we’re calling BS on that.In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of what it really means to be a healer—whether you’re a therapist, coach, teacher, or just the person everyone comes to for advice. The truth? Healers are human, too. We struggle, we break down, we question ourselves, and we still have a place in this world.We’re talking about:🔹 The pressure to “have it all figured out” when you’re in a leadership role🔹 How to show up authentically without oversharing or burning out🔹 Why doing your own healing work actually makes you better at helping others🔹 How to find your support system so you’re not carrying the weight of the world aloneLet’s get into the messy, beautiful truth together—because the world doesn’t need perfect healers. It needs real ones.Katies Book: https://www.amazon.com/Being-Seen-My-Journey-Self-love/dp/B0D1HGS41CLaunch into your 2025 Virtual Retreat: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/launch-into-your-2025-virtual-retreat Join us for exclusive content on Patreon : patreon.com/sitcrookedtalkstraight SCTS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sitcrooked_talkstraight/?hl=en Katie’s Release Page: https://www.facebook.com/releasewithkatie Katie’s website: https://www.releasewithkatie.com/ Katie's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imkatiemyers Leanne’s website: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/ Leanne’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/institute_female_trailblazers/ Leanne’s FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/ezliving.site Leanne’s Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nextlevellifepurpose Leanne'sTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@essentiallyzenful Credits To: Sarah Wilke, Virtual Assistant & PublisherEditor: Guido Bertolinihttps://www.australsound.com/Music: One Night Away Patrick PatrikiosSpecial Thanks to: "To my husband for believing in me and cheering me on when I doubted myself." - Leanne

In this episode, we revisit one of our most talked-about early episodes—Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby—to reflect on how our perspectives have evolved and, of course, to laugh at our past selves. From our earliest (and sometimes awkward) introductions to sex to the impact of purity culture and societal shame, we’re unpacking it all.Join us as we listen back, cringe, laugh, and dive even deeper into the conversations that shaped us then—and continue to shape us now. Plus, we’re sharing details on our upcoming LIVE anniversary episode and how you can be part of it!Jeweler: https://jonnajintonsweden.com/Katies Book: https://www.amazon.com/Being-Seen-My-Journey-Self-love/dp/B0D1HGS41CLaunch into your 2025 Virtual Retreat: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/launch-into-your-2025-virtual-retreat Join us for exclusive content on Patreon : patreon.com/sitcrookedtalkstraight SCTS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sitcrooked_talkstraight/?hl=en Katie’s Release Page: https://www.facebook.com/releasewithkatie Katie’s website: https://www.releasewithkatie.com/ Katie's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imkatiemyers Leanne’s website: https://www.instituteforfemaletrailblazers.com/ Leanne’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/institute_female_trailblazers/ Leanne’s FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/ezliving.site Leanne’s Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nextlevellifepurpose Leanne'sTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@essentiallyzenful Credits To: Sarah Wilke, Virtual Assistant & PublisherEditor: Guido Bertolinihttps://www.australsound.com/Music: One Night Away Patrick PatrikiosSpecial Thanks to: "To my husband for believing in me and cheering me on when I doubted myself." - Leanne
