Today we’d like to introduce you to Leah Bernath.
Hi Leah, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
With nearly 20 years as an expert in interior design, sales, business development, entrepreneurship, and a former Pilates/PT trainer, my diverse professional career has provided me with some incredible wisdom, experience, and successes along the way. However, it wasn’t always a journey filled with sunshine and rainbows… After a divorce, becoming a single mom, and subsequently re-entering corporate America in 2016, I rapidly elevated in my 9-5 from an Account Executive to Director of Sales in just a few short years. I had achieved what I considered a success. Then, the pandemic hit…I found myself out of work and unsure of what the future held. So, I hired several coaches to dive deeper into self, discover my purpose, and find meaning amidst uncertainty. Then an ‘aha’ moment occurred; throughout all of my various roles, one common thread was evident. I have a huge PASSION for helping others FEEL and FUNCTION their best- whether through their surrounding environment (as a former interior designer), their relationships (sales and business development expertise), their physical body (former Pilates/PT), or through mindset transformation (coaching). Inspired by the transformations I experienced as a result of investing in coaches personally, it became crystal clear to me: my true purpose and calling is empowering women to RISE!
In 2020, in parallel with my professional career, I became an ICF-certified Intuitive Health and Life Coach and launched Your Best Self, LLC, helping dozens of high-achieving women, companies, and organizations all over the world achieve what they deeply desire.
My mission is to ELEVATE WOMEN to embody their BEST SELF so they achieve the success and abundance they DESIRE, personally and professionally, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My journey has been far from smooth, full of life’s unexpected twists and turns, obstacles and challenges, and tests of willpower. But it has also been filled with so many blessings, beauty, love, strength, support, abundance, gratitude, and unwavering hope.
Learning to let go of what isn’t serving me (jobs, relationships, etc.), removing fear and exploring new things (career and life changes), releasing the need for control and perfection (pandemic, recession, job layoffs, divorce, etc.) all formed the themes of the struggles and lessons I have been gifted with.
