There is no coincidence when the people you have been following over the last few years start connecting with each other.----Matias De Stefano, Aubrey Marcus, Dr. Zach Bush, RFK Jr., Blu and now Leann. A few of these names I didn't like at first and then I started to see that I was mirroring what I felt that I was either lacking in myself or didn't like about myself and now I love all of these people.

One of the most unappreciated great artists of all time. Love Lee Ann's place she's at. She seems so free, in command, and elegant. She is at her very best. Her voice, her performances, and her presence are 2nd to none. I have always liked her music, since she first came out with Blue, but I have now seen a woman who has come full circle, more mature, and in control of her happiness.

Not even a minute in and she’s crying already💓

Leann ... One of the only true celebs left... Didn't sell her soul... Doesn't work for the darkness... A brilliant shining role model for young girls.... A beautiful and divine individual. Blu you look beautiful as always and what a great guest... Thank you for your work x❤ P.s this made me wanna watch coyote ugly again... Loved that when I was 13

Sister Blu- chills are riding through my essence screaming “TRUTH!” I am a physicist working to draw out the spiritual truths distorted through a scientific lens &&.. I can’t express enough how deeply you have reaffirmed we are indeed living in a co-created simulation. The law guided me to your YouTube space a few weeks ago and it has been such medicine. Leanne was an idol in my childhood, I sang her songs in Elementary school talent shows. I resonate deeply w the feelings of unworthiness, “I can’t” or “I’ll never be”, ashamed to actually wholeheartedly try to follow my passion to share my voice. Now that I have passed 30 and continue to progress in my self-work, I am able to translate my connection with people so much deeper. I have such gratitude for the wisdom I’ve gained from your shared interactions 🙏🏼 I am looking forward to the day we can share space! As my vibration continues to rise..I am eager to see how that manifests! In Lak ’esh.

I listen to or sing something from her new album literally everyday. I'm soooooo happy to have an artist from my young life who grew with me. Thank you both of you!!
-
I've always been drawn to Leann , I think its the honesty in her voice. That and her having the absolute best vocal vibrato I've ever heard. Its so smooth you can forget its even there.

A beautiful conversation. So many pieces aligned with my recent contemplations. "Create from the inside out, then invite people in from that space" 🌌

Absolutely Amazing!!!❤❤❤ WOW I LOVED her when I was a child and now even MORE she is a "Sis🌞Star".

Yay, what a fabulous and welcomed surprise. I love Leann’s music. Have to be honest though, I hadn’t followed up on her career for quite a while so as soon as i saw her beautiful face on screen I jumped on the opportunity to catch up, and WOW!! Am I glad I did. I always saw her and her beautiful, gentle and powerful heart, besides the epic voice (it was kinda hard to miss). Look at her now, walking into her power and all her gifts with both arms open. Absolutely breath taking and inspiring. Thank you ladies, for this powerful conversation. it was truly an honor.🕊️🫶🏽🪷

I’m 66 years old and Leanne never fails to rip my heart apart- Leanne is very emotional and sentimental so she sings with a passion I’ve seen in no artist ever- even on the Mask omg I knew it was Leanne-she Has an energy that exudes pure emotion. She is one of the few humans that sings to my soul- her voice is angelic! I felt her pain when she had to leave her husband she was so honest and I believe every word-the heart wants what it wants/ I love Leanne.
