Leap Like Me
A podcast for people who are navigating change
What does it take to make a daring change? How do you overcome unexpected obstacles? And how do you find the resiliency to keep going, even when the journey gets hard?
We’re diving deep into all of these questions and more on the Leap Like Me podcast.
Tune in to hear real stories from people who have taken brave leaps in their life or work, along with actionable advice on how to make and sustain purposeful, intentional change.
Whether you’re looking to make a career change, going through a life transition, or simply want to dive deeper into your personal growth, the Leap Like Me podcast is your guiding map and source of inspiration as you explore what it means to take your own bold leap.
Meet Your Host, Lisa Hoashi
As a certified life and career coach, I spend my days helping people like you navigate major transitions in their lives and careers. I’ve also taken my fair share of (incredibly rewarding) leaps. I know how lonely it can feel to be standing at a crossroads, and just how impactful it can be to hear from people who have been where you are.
I created the Leap Like Me podcast to provide space for others to share the brave, bold leaps they’ve taken in their lives, so you can learn from those who have been in your shoes. Each episode is a testament to the beautiful power of change, the resilience of the human spirit, and the incredible journeys that can unfold when we dare to leap.
As you listen, I hope you can find encouragement, support, and practical advice as you navigate your own life or career change, and that you find even a little bit of inspiration and confidence as you explore the possibilities that await you if you dare to leap.
