About Me

Leanne Jewell Speaker & Coach

Transformational Speaker & Coach

Hi, I’m Leanne.

Life doesn't always go according to plan. Mine certainly hasn't. But somewhere between the grief, the plot twists, and the moments that brought me to my knees, I discovered something: resilience isn't about being unbreakable. It's about getting back up — ideally with a sense of humor intact.

I'm Leanne Jewell — actor, comedian, TEDx speaker, and certified life coach. I help people navigate life's hardest chapters, release the victim mentality that keeps them stuck, and find their way back to joy. With honesty, humor, and zero sugarcoating.
