TRIGGER WARNING!!!

Leslie Morgan Steiner is a New York Times best-selling author, columnist for The Washington Post, consultant and thought leader on women’s leadership, work-life balance, inspirational parenting, overcoming adversity and surviving violence against women.  She is a graduate of Harvard and earned an MBA from the Wharton School of Business. Her corporate experience includes The Washington Post, Johnson & Johnson, Leo Burnett and Seventeen Magazine. 

She’s also the survivor of intimate partner violence and terror that almost cost her, her life as captured in her 2009 New York Times bestselling book, Crazy Love and her extraordinary Ted Talk that has been seen by more than 6 and a half million people.

Leslie recently completed her fourth nonfiction work, The Naked Truth, a memoir which explores female aging and sexuality after motherhood and divorce. 

 From surviving domestic violence and devoting much of her life to helping others who face a similar hell to the emancipation and sexual awakening she experienced after the end of her second marriage – it’s unlikely that we’ll run out of things to chat about.

This is Leslie’s story…

Please note that this episode of Brave Journeys talks graphically about coercive control and domestic violence and isn’t remotely suitable for little ears.

If anything you hear during this episode is triggering in any way, please reach out to someone who can keep you safe.  And please remember if you’re in Australia, you can phone Lifeline at any time on 13 11 14.

 And for sexual assault, domestic and family violence counselling services please call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for 24/7 phone services.
