  • Tia Lashay, a secret writer for the majority of her life, has always preferred to emote with the lick of her pen in her bedroom. Whether processing teenage or adulthood emotions, she finds solace in writing poetry, journaling, and creating short stories.

Like many adults, Tia has followed the philosophy of sticking to her 9-5 job and keeping her creative pursuits private and unprofitable. However, after meeting a WBP owner, Winnifred Tataw, at a poetry event, Tia found the encouragement she needed to put her private passions on display!

Black and white close-up portrait of a smiling woman with long, wavy hair, a nose piercing, and earrings.

  • Hi, my name is Lynda Leonce.  I am no different than you.  Through my own desire to heal and liberate myself from my limiting mentality and emotional states; I searched for deeper meaning in my life. 

    It started in my early twenties when I went deep into the teachings of Eckhart Tolle.  Then later I became certified as a Conscious Life & Parenting Coach.  Through various teachings from wisdom teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Dr Shefali Tsabary, Dr Joe Dispenza and most recently (and most profoundly) RJ Spina; I found freedom, authenticity, joy and aliveness.  Metaphysicial teachings have most profoundly impacted my life.  They have brought me back to the truth of who I am, of who we all are.

    As I freed myself from the mindset and emotional states and all the untruths that were keeping me stuck; I came to realize that what moves me most, is to be able to empower other women like me to tune in and see how they can do this forthemselves.  

    I feel impelled to be of service by simply sharing what I've tangibly learned through my journey of working with myself.  Through the one-on-one sessions and book I created, I share only what has actually worked for me.  I make it clear that if anything doesn't resonate for someone then it isn't for them and I wouldn't want anyone blindly following what I say; that is counter to how I desire to serve others.  It is about tuning in to what resonates from within them and not blindly going with what I say.   

    It's such a joy and a privilege to see and experience others transform for themselves, moving beyond the perceived limitations in their lives.  Experiencing the depths, power of who they truly are.
