Today we’d like to introduce you to Leasa Arsenault
Hi Leasa, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey began with my own personal struggle with high-functioning anxiety. As a high-achieving woman, I was constantly pushing myself to exceed every expectation, both professionally and personally. On the surface, everything seemed perfect, but inside, I was battling a relentless storm of people pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
One pivotal day, I realized that this way of living wasn’t sustainable. I was missing out on the joy and authenticity that life had to offer. This epiphany set me on a path of self-discovery and healing. I immersed myself in various healing modalities, seeking to understand and liberate myself from the chains of anxiety that had held me back for so long.
My journey led me to explore the profound depths of Akashic record reading, intuitive energy healing, sound healing, transpersonal parts therapy, meditation, Access Bars, emotional freedom technique (EFT), reiki, and even laughter yoga. Each modality opened new doors of understanding, not just about myself, but about the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
As I healed and transformed, I felt a strong calling to help others who were experiencing similar struggles. In June 2023, I launched Becoming Soulful, a space dedicated to helping high-achieving women break free from high-functioning anxiety, liberate their authentic selves, and rediscover their joy.
Starting my own company was a leap of faith, but it was a leap fueled by passion and purpose. I designed programs and workshops that integrate the healing techniques that had been so transformative in my own life. My approach is deeply intuitive and personalized, ensuring that each woman I work with feels seen, heard, and supported on her unique journey.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the incredible transformations that my clients undergo. It’s truly humbling to see them shed their limiting beliefs, embrace their authentic selves, and step into a life filled with joy and fulfillment.
Today, Becoming Soulful is more than just a company; it’s a community, a movement. Through programs, meditation groups, and one-on-one sessions, I’ve created a safe and nurturing space for women to heal, grow, and thrive. It’s a space where they can reconnect with their true selves, find their joy, and live it fully.
Looking back, I’m grateful for every challenge and every breakthrough that led me here. Each step of my journey has shaped me into the healer and guide I am today. And as I continue to grow and evolve, I’m committed to helping more women discover the power of their authentic selves and the joy that comes with it.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road to where I am today has been anything but smooth. In fact, it’s been filled with numerous challenges and obstacles that have tested my resolve and strength at every turn. But each struggle has also brought invaluable lessons and growth, shaping me into the person and healer I am today.
One of the biggest challenges was facing my own high-functioning anxiety. For decades, I lived with a constant, underlying sense of stress and pressure to perform. On the outside, I appeared to have it all together, but inside, I was overwhelmed and exhausted. Admitting that I needed help and seeking out the healing modalities that would eventually become the foundation of Becoming Soulful was a difficult first step. It required vulnerability and a willingness to confront my deepest fears and insecurities.
As I started to explore and practice different healing techniques like Akashic record reading, intuitive energy healing, sound healing, and transpersonal parts therapy, I encountered resistance both from within myself and from those around me. There were moments of self-doubt, where I questioned whether I was on the right path or if I was capable of helping others through their own struggles. The process of healing is not linear, and there were many setbacks and moments where I felt like giving up.
Launching Becoming Soulful in June 2023 was another significant challenge. Starting a business, especially one centered around such personal and transformative work, required a leap of faith. I had to navigate the practicalities of entrepreneurship while staying true to my mission and values. There were financial pressures, long hours, and the constant need to innovate and adapt. Building a brand and community from scratch was daunting, and there were times when the weight of it all felt overwhelming.
Another major struggle was finding my authentic voice and trusting it. In a world that often values tangible results and quick fixes, advocating for deep, soulful healing was not always easy. I had to learn to trust in the process and the power of the healing modalities I was offering. This meant staying true to my intuition and not getting swayed by external pressures to conform or take shortcuts.
Despite these challenges, each struggle has been a crucial part of my journey. Facing my own anxiety allowed me to develop a deep empathy and understanding for the women I now help. Overcoming self-doubt and resistance has strengthened my resolve and commitment to my mission. Building Becoming Soulful from the ground up has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of staying connected to my purpose.
Today, I see each obstacle as a stepping stone that has brought me closer to where I am meant to be. The struggles have made the successes even more meaningful, and they have given me the strength and wisdom to support others through their own journeys. It’s through these experiences that I can genuinely say, the path to healing and joy is worth every challenge.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned along my journey is the profound power of authenticity and vulnerability. For so long, I wore a mask of perfection and strength, believing that I had to keep it all together to be successful and respected. But in doing so, I was disconnecting from my true self and the genuine connections that make life meaningful.
Embracing authenticity meant peeling back the layers of who I thought I needed to be and allowing myself to be seen, flaws and all. It required vulnerability, which was both terrifying and liberating. I had to confront my fears, insecurities, and the parts of myself that I had hidden away. This process was not easy and often uncomfortable, but it was essential for my growth and healing.
Through this journey, I realized that true strength lies in vulnerability. When I allowed myself to be open and honest about my struggles, I not only began to heal, but I also found that others could relate to my experiences. This openness created deeper connections and fostered a sense of community and support that I had never experienced before.
Authenticity also brought a newfound sense of freedom. No longer bound by the expectations and judgments of others, I could live in alignment with my values and passions. This shift allowed me to pursue my true calling with Becoming Soulful, helping other women find their authentic selves and reclaim their joy.
One of the most beautiful aspects of this lesson is witnessing the ripple effect it has on others. When I show up authentically, it gives others permission to do the same. It creates a safe space where vulnerability is celebrated, and healing can occur. This authenticity is at the heart of all the work I do at Becoming Soulful, from one-on-one sessions to group programs, workshops and retreats.
In addition to authenticity, I’ve learned the importance of self-compassion. Being kind and gentle with myself during the tough times has been crucial. It’s easy to fall into self-criticism, especially when facing challenges, but self-compassion allows for a more nurturing and supportive inner dialogue. It reminds me that I am human, and it’s okay to make mistakes and have setbacks.
This lesson has also taught me to trust the process. Healing and personal growth are not linear; they have their ups and downs, twists and turns. Embracing the journey with patience and grace has been essential. Every challenge and setback has brought valuable lessons and insights, making me more resilient and empathetic.
Ultimately, the journey of authenticity and vulnerability has led me to a place of deeper connection, joy, and fulfillment. It has shaped the way I approach my work with clients, creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported in their own journeys. It’s a continuous learning process, and I am grateful for every step along the way.
