You don’t need fixing. You need sacred space to hear from God.
Welcome to a different kind of support. I’m Leslie D. Lyons—a Soul Coach, Business Doula, and Chaplain. I guide women leaders into work that doesn’t just look good—it feels aligned with God’s purpose for their lives.
You are the prayer your grandmothers whispered.
The healing they didn’t have time to name.
The softness they tucked under their strength.
You carry fire in your bones and peace in your palms.
Don’t shrink.
Don’t perform.
Lead like your soul matters because it does.
You’re not just building a life—you’re reclaiming one.
You’ve poured yourself into everybody else’s vision.
Built businesses. Raised families. Carried communities on your back.
And somewhere along the way, you forgot what your soul sounds like.
This is your invitation to return to yourself.
Not the polished, palatable version.
The whole you. The tender you. The powerful you.
The you that knows rest is resistance and joy is a form of justice.
I’m not here to push you toward productivity.
I’m here to hold sacred space while you remember who you were before the world told you to shrink.
This is Soulful Direction.
Not hustle. Not hype.
Just you, God, and the truth you’ve been too busy to hear.
A hospital chaplain.
A Soul Companion for women who lead.
A fiery Enneagram 8 who traded empire-building for soul-tending.
I no longer help women chase six-figure goals.
I help them come home to themselves.
I’ve sat with grieving mothers, tired leaders, and women on the edge of becoming.
What I know for sure?
We don’t need more strategies—we need sanctuary.
I hold sacred space for women who are done being everything for everyone.
Women who are unlearning the lie that their worth is tied to how much they produce.
Women who are reclaiming rest, rage, softness, and sacred rebellion.
This work is not about shrinking or silencing.
It’s about honoring your power—the kind that prays, pauses, and knows when to burn it all down.
Let’s remind the woman in the mirror who she is.
Not with hustle.
With holy fire.

THIS IS SOUL WORK, NOT BUSY WORK
Soulful Direction Session
Soulful Direction is for the woman who’s done chasing levels, goals, and someone else’s version of success. You’ve built things. You’ve led people. You’ve carried more than most will ever know. Now, your soul is asking for something deeper. In our one-on-one sessions, we’ll pause the noise and create space to listen—for God, for clarity, for you. This isn’t about strategy or scaling. It’s about being witnessed, heard, and held as you navigate transition, grief, purpose, or fatigue. Together, we’ll explore what’s rising in you, what’s no longer serving you, and how to move forward in a way that honors your spirit—not just your schedule.
