In this episode of The SoulFire Sessions, Alex welcomes Leanne Zaccar,an actress, author, spiritual medium, and award-winning speaker joining from Australia. As a medium, Leanne lives with a powerful awareness that life is short, and that truth reshaped everything after divorce left her feeling disconnected from herself and questioning where her spark had gone.
Leanne shares how she rebuilt her confidence and identity by returning to a past passion: Latin dance. What began as a vulnerable, confronting first step in front of studio mirrors became her “moving meditation” and the catalyst for rediscovering her authentic self. From there, she found the courage to step into mediumship professionally after a decade of hiding that part of herself and to live a life aligned, brave, and without regret.
Together, Alex and Leanne explore imposter syndrome, healing from old narratives, the fear of judgment, and the power of micro-steps to begin coming home to yourself again. Leanne also introduces her book, The Soul Nudge, and shares the message behind her award-winning talk, “Reignite Your Spark: The Secret Power of Authenticity.”
The episode closes with Leanne’s simple framework for transformation:
Be the ARTist of your life — Awaken, Reveal, Transform.
