Leann has hosted virtual sober challenges where she creates motivating videos and other content to encourage and show others the significance of discipline and sacrifice. Consistency is key, however Leann speaks about how “The key to consistency is to reserve your energy for the things that align with your goals and purpose!” Leann is now a part of a speaking academy where she joins a community of speakers from all across the world, in the path of speaking life into our communities with the ultimate goal of changing the world! Leann is dedicated to being an example to other mothers, entrepreneurs and the youth as she continues on this journey to Progress & Proceed with True Integrity!
