Welcome to Trailblazing Wellness with Leah Skurdal, COO at The Wellness Universe, Wellness Event Leader, Resilience Guide, and member of The Wellness Universe.
The Wellness Universe is a resource and community of amazing humans we call WU World-Changers! Our members are vetted teachers, therapists, transformational leaders, coaches, and guides who support well-being and help us further our vision of achieving global peace by way of happy, healthy, healed human beings through the work they do.
Today we want to introduce you to Leah Skurdal.
The Wellness Universe (WU): What is your mission?
Leah Skurdal (LS): My mission and passion is to guide heart-led leaders to expand their impact and create a world of well-being for all.
WU: Please tell us about yourself.
LS: Years ago, I was a stressed-out graduate student who became a stressed-out professional and then became a stressed-out stay-at-home mom. I realized something had to change and turned inward to reconnect to my inner well-being. I went back to my spiritual practices of meditation and mindful movement with two little kids plastered on me. I developed a profound practice of body-emotion-mind-spirit wisdom to guide me. I started sharing what I learned through individual energy healing sessions, workshops, and guided meditations. I love helping parents and heart-led leaders reconnect to their inner well-being when they feel stressed. I wrote a book about my wellness journey, Seeking Serenity: How to Find Your Inner Calm & Joy, and I’ve been teaching, speaking, and healing for a couple decades.
When I joined The Wellness Universe in 2021, I jumped in with both feet. I became a core blogger, a SoulTreat provider, and an author in The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care book series. I offered two Wellness For All programs, led a series of Resilience-Building online events, became the Wellness For All program manager, and then the COO. My favorite part of my work with the Wellness Universe is connecting with members to help expand their impact through The Wellness Universe.
WU: What inspires you?
LS: One thing that inspires me is to think about a 1000-year time frame. It was only 500 years ago that most people believed the sun revolved around the earth. Then Copernicus got brave enough to tell people the earth revolves around the sun. It was blasphemy at the time, but now everyone accepts this truth.
I’m expecting that 500 years from now, everyone will know that our power source comes from Divine Love within—and people won’t need to grab power from outside themselves. It will become common knowledge that every molecule of water flowing through our bodies, every atom of air we breathe, and every cell of our bodies is infused with Divine Love. When everyone knows all life is made of the same divine substance, we can accept each other as part of the one creation expressing uniquely through the individual. We can know the oneness of humanity and experience the sacredness of all life.
WU: Now that we know a bit about you, explain what it is that you do and how it helps people to be happy, healthy, and healed.
LS: Many people feel stressed by the rapid changes in our world today. Sometimes we choose unhealthy coping behaviors—but that makes us fragile, not resilient. I guide heart-led leaders to feel less stressed, improve their relationships, and expand their positive impact in the world.
I offer CLASSES, WORKSHOPS and KEYNOTES, and suggest an improvisational approach to life called Jazz Living to help heart-led leaders build resilience. We can borrow principles from jazz music to help us become more agile rather than fragile, more resilient, innovative, and impactful—especially in the face of change. When we practice Jazz Living principles in our daily lives, we can build our spiritual resilience muscles to navigate change with authenticity, creativity, and resourcefulness.
During INDIVIDUAL ENERGY HEALING SOUL EXPEDITIONS, I align with Divine Love and Soul to allow the highest and best version of you to shine through. We work with the wise ancestors, angels, guides, master teachers, Christ Within, your Soul, and Divine Love to bless and uplift any imbalance to a more harmonious vibration. Clients report feeling more balanced, whole, peaceful, and energized—and more like themselves.
In GUIDED MEDITATIONS, I help people reconnect to Divine Love within and embody the highest and best version of themselves. We align with our natural state of inner well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally to live with more joy, inner peace, and outer calm.
WU: How long have you been doing this work?
LS: I’ve been on a path of spiritual growth for fifty years. I’ve been processing energy through presence and movement for almost forty years. I noticed presence and movement help reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and transform negative emotional energy before it gets stuck in the body and creates dis-ease. So for over twenty years, I’ve been guiding people to navigate stress and nurture a resilient body-mind by reconnecting to innate well-being and resilience within.
WU: Why are you so passionate about guiding heart-led leaders to reconnect to their inner well-being and inner resilience?
LS: By responding to stress from a stable foundation of inner resilience, we can expand our impact for good in the world. I want to spread this idea so I can especially reach heart-led leaders who impact young adults and youth in general. We can help equip youth with skills to navigate change and uncertainty with courage. When more people find resilience and hope within, we will lessen suicidal ideation and create healthier humans and a more peaceful world.
WU: Was there a specific life experience that caused you to follow this path?
LS: When I was 20, I did not die in a car crash. At the same time, someone I knew in high school died in a small plane crash. I started asking big-picture questions. Why me? Why am I still here? I want to make a difference with the second chance I was given in life. In my 20s, I did a lot of soul-searching, and my intuitive abilities awakened. I became aware that I am more than a physical body and more than a mind. I realized each of us is a spiritual being having a physical experience.
WU: Please share a story of how you have made a difference in someone’s life.
LS: I served my country in the United States Peace Corps for two years, teaching Business English and Family Education in a rural mountain village in Africa. Since I left, the region where I lived has experienced constant violent conflict for the past twenty years. Several of my former students became refugees in the neighboring English-speaking country of Uganda. My former students are grateful I taught them English. Now, I’m helping them in the refugee camp through micro-enterprise projects. I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to mentor one young man who was orphaned at age 15 when his entire family was killed. I’m so proud of him for overcoming huge obstacles to earn his high school diploma.
WU: What would you say is your crowning achievement thus far?
LS: The best I have contributed to the world is birthing two amazing, light-filled daughters. I was labeled advanced maternal age at 39 ½ and 42 ½. But I was a healthier pregnant lady than most women half my age. I listened to my body wisdom and kept moving my body through my fears. I did the physical, mental, emotional, ancestral, and spiritual work it took to birth two healthy, light-filled babies naturally, without medications or medical interventions. I gifted my babies with the best head start I could offer them.
WU: What’s next on the horizon for you?
LS: I’m looking forward to expanding my impact through heart-led leaders expanding their impact. I’ll continue speaking and teaching about adopting an improvisational jazz living approach to navigate change with authenticity and courage. I’m excited to lead The Wellness Universe to the next level of creating happier, healthier, healed humans and a more peaceful world.
WU: Thank you so much for sharing today! Do you have any final thoughts?
LS: We were born for this exciting time in the transformation of humanity and the evolution of consciousness. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
WU: Include a testimonial you have received.
LS: “I had the pleasure of experiencing Leah’s gifts as a talented spiritual healer. She shared her visions and transmissions from the ethers about me and The Wellness Universe in a private session that were in alignment with what I had been told before, but even deeper and more profound! It was invigorating, humbling, and a blessed confirmation. Her channel is open and clear, and her guidance is from love-centered Christ Consciousness. Created with pure love energy ,Leah delivers heaven-sent messages.
If you are looking for a collaborator, workshop facilitator, writer, speaker, or healer, either for yourself or to present on healing topics, please connect with Leah. I highly recommend her, and you will feel re-awakened, secure, cared-for, and loved through it all.” ~ Anna Pereira, CEO & Head Goddess at The Wellness Universe
