Leah Bernath, Mindset Coach
Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better.
Hi, I am Leah Bernath, a certified Intuitive Health and Life Coach and Principles of Power Coach, specializing in empowerment & success coaching and consulting for women. I am a single mother, tenured career professional, travel and adventure enthusiast, health & fitness guru, and a strong believer in growth, expansion, and elevating others. Ever since childhood, I have had a deep affinity for the creative and athletic fields. I pursued a degree and subsequent career in interior design and the fitness industry as a Pilates instructor and PT, helping others to transform their surrounding environments along with their physical health and wellbeing.
.
With a professional career and foundation rooted in the interior design and commercial real estate industry, I have cultivated a successful 20-year career filled with accolades and achievements. Navigating the corporate ladder climb utterly alone, without clarity on direction, guidance, or mentorship, I strategically expanded into leadership positions, leading teams for several Atlanta-based companies as Director of Sales and Business Development Manager. Despite all the success I managed to create, I felt unfulfilled and was called to a higher meaning. I invested in a coach to discover a deeper understanding into my life's purpose amidst the pandemic. It was during that time that my 'light bulb moment' occurred ‒ one common thread between various roles existed ‒ helping others feel/function their best whether from their outside environment (design), their physical body (fitness), or inner mindset (coaching).
What is your business name and how do you help your clients?
My Empowerment Coaching/Consulting Business is, Your Best Self, LLC. As a certified Intuitive Health, and Life Coach (BHC) and a Principles of Power Coach (TCC) I apply various modalities and techniques including, NLP, EFT, rapid trauma relief, guided imagery, breathwork, and energy healing techniques, to help women connect deeply within their core and embody their full potential. I have been featured in NY Weekly, Entrepreneurs Herald, Brainz Magazine, and HERS Muscle & Fitness Magazine.
What kind of audience do you target your business towards?
Women who want to level up in their careers, enhance relationships, increase wealth and financial abundance, and step into their intrinsic power, overcome barriers to success, remove limiting beliefs and fear, and create the life they crave. Balancing single motherhood with a professional career and a thriving coaching business, I understand and have lived the struggles of professional women and mothers today. I lead motivational speaking engagements, one-on-one and group coaching courses, and consulting services for executives and companies with a specialized focus on topics including overcoming barriers to success, limiting beliefs, unleashing your intrinsic power, conquering career and life burnout, developing leadership presence, and more.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.
My personal journey and subsequent transformation coupled with my desire for a deeper life purpose inspired me to launch my female-focused empowerment consulting business in 2020. In 2016 I got divorced, became a single parent with limited resources, re-entered the corporate workplace and navigated my career alone, began a new life, overcame anxiety and depression, and healed past emotional traumas. Though I had cultivated success, I reached a plateau personally and professionally some years later. So, I invested in coaches to propel me forward on my journey. Through these experiences, I witnessed the true power of trained professionals to help you take a deeper dive into self, uncover blocks, remove barriers, and expand in mind, body, and soul to reach new heights. The experience and subsequent transformations that occurred coupled with my passion for lifting others, led me to pursue the field of coaching and create Your Best Self, LLC. At my core, I am highly focused on the success of others and believe every woman has the power to BE, DO, and HAVE whatever they deeply desire.
