Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Lea Mason of Sandy Springs

Lea Mason shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Lea, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Over the past two years, I began attending—and eventually joined—Change Church in Duluth, GA. During this time, I’ve experienced tremendous spiritual growth, and God has healed my heart in ways I never could have imagined. I also completed two courses offered by Dr. Dharius Daniels: Marketplace Mandate Academy and Uncommon Calling Elite. Both programs challenged and equipped me to better understand my God-given potential, the role I play in the marketplace, the value I bring to others, how to integrate Christian principles into my business practices, and how to support others in their spiritual growth.

These classes have brought me incredible joy. They gave me language for what God has been stirring in me and opened the door for me to step more fully into who He created me to be. They also inspired me to move forward with the ideas and callings God has placed on my heart and mind. I am deeply grateful for the wisdom shared, the relationships formed, and the many “aha” moments I experienced throughout this journey.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Lady Lea Faye, LLC continues to grow into a true one-stop shop for all things inspirational—offering uplifting art pieces, blog posts, journal prompts, clothing, and mugs. Our tagline, “Let God Lead,” is more than a phrase; it’s an affirmation and a daily reminder to place our full trust in God as the center of our lives. When we allow Him to guide our steps, we experience love, favor, goodness, peace, and purpose. I often must remind myself that God’s timing and His ways are far different from my own, which is why I choose to keep my eyes on Him—the One who knows all things and works everything together for good.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
When I was in elementary school in Decatur, GA, the fifth through seventh grade safety officers took an annual week-long trip to Washington, D.C. During that time, third graders were given the chance to serve as honorary patrol officers. I’m not exactly sure what I did that week to stand out, but afterward I was chosen to lead the morning and afternoon announcements, serve as the emcee for major school events, and even remind the principal of her upcoming meetings.

Although the school went from K–7, I was entrusted with responsibilities my older peers didn’t have—and it all felt so natural to me. I’ve always loved helping others and being someone people can rely on, and looking back, I’m grateful for how much potential my school recognized in me at such a young age. Public speaking is still something I’m growing to enjoy, but I’m often reminded of how naturally it came to me as a child. If I could find joy in it then, surely I can lean into it now.

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
For me, heartbreak was a defining wound—one that truly shook me. It taught me to be intentional about “checking the fruit,” and that awareness has shaped all of my relationships. It’s made me more attentive to my surroundings and to the people in my life. Love is a beautiful gift, but it must be handled with care. Time has a way of revealing a person’s true intentions, and when God shows you who someone is, allow Him to guide your next steps. Sometimes He leads you toward reconciliation; other times, He leads you to walk away. Both paths can be beautiful, as long as you’re following His direction.

Healing, for me, has meant continually surrendering—trusting that everything happens for a reason and that God can still create beauty from the hardest moments. What matters most isn’t just what happens to you, but how you choose to move forward with the time you’ve been given.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
I think they would say that living a life of purpose—and marrying a man who is equally committed to following Jesus—is one of my deepest desires. I value meaningful, lasting relationships, and I believe God has entrusted me with dreams that will require a strong, unified team. I would love to walk out this journey with a spouse who prioritizes pleasing God above all else.

I see people as some of the greatest gifts God has given us, and I take my friendships to heart. Marrying someone who shares those same values and wants to make the most of this precious opportunity called life would truly feel like a dream come true.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I’m at home journaling, reflecting on my day, week, month, or year, and recognizing all the ways God has carried me. I love those moments when He reveals dreams or new business ideas, or when I’m simply curled up with a good book, a cup of chai, and a big cozy blanket. I take my “me time” very seriously because I know that if I don’t refill my own cup, I won’t have anything to pour into others. I try to bring the best version of myself wherever I go, and I can only do that when I slow down, sit still, and lay my worries, fears, cares, and hopes at the feet of Jesus.
