In this episode of Seen & Known, Leona sits down with certified life coach, podcaster, and journal creator Leslie Martinez for a joyful conversation about spiritual growth, purpose, and building rhythms with God that feel both meaningful and doable. Leslie shares how God led her into a multi-passionate calling—and why she's so passionate about helping women walk confidently and joyfully in their God-given purpose.

Together, they talk about the SOAP method (Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer) and how it can help women—especially beginners—connect with God's Word in a simple, powerful way. Leslie also shares the heart behind her journal Unlock the Gospels, her gratitude-goals-prayer journal, and why she believes journaling can become a sacred space for transformation.

This episode is for the woman who feels scattered, overwhelmed, or spiritually "behind," and needs the reminder that God meets her gently—one page, one prayer, and one step at a time.

In this episode of Seen & Known, I'm joined by Darian Posey, founder of Type A to Type Pray, to talk about what happens when capable, faith-filled women realize that striving is no longer sustainable. Darian shares her journey from control and burnout to surrender and peace, and how God met her in the tension between ambition and alignment.

Together, we unpack what biblical surrender really looks like in marriage, how to pursue purpose without hustle culture, and why peace is found in progress—not perfection.

If you've been carrying everything and quietly wondering why you still feel exhausted, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Darian reminds us that we don't have to hustle to be whole or strive to be seen.

There is another way—one rooted in prayer, healing, and steady growth.

In this tender episode of Seen & Known, Leona sits down with writer and fellow Propel alum Carmen Meurer to talk about the quiet grief of parental estrangement—the ache of the empty chair at the table. Carmen shares what led her to begin writing for estranged parents and how this often-unspoken loss carries layers of heartbreak, silence, faith wrestling, and enduring hope.

Together, they explore what it means to grieve a relationship that is still living, how faith is stretched when prayers feel unanswered, and the power of friendship in seasons that feel isolating. If you are a parent carrying an unseen ache—or love someone who is—this conversation offers gentle companionship and a reminder that God sees the empty chair and sits with you in the waiting.
