Currently serving as Head of Fitness at Supernatural (Meta), Leanne leads wellness strategy for a platform that's changing how people worldwide experience movement and personal growth.

Finding Resilience in Uncertain Times

A high-impact session redefining resilience not as “bouncing back” but evolving forward. Leanne blends personal narrative (grief, mental health, trauma recovery) with research on identity, stress physiology, and connection. Participants leave with body-based tools, mindset reframes, and practices for relational resilience.

Resilience in the Body, the Brain, and the People Around You

This practical, evidence-based workshop explores how physical awareness, mindset flexibility, and human connection shape our capacity to face challenge. Includes neuroscience of stress, cognitive distortion awareness, and nervous system regulation tools—all taught accessibly and with warmth.

The Identity of Adaptation

How do we evolve our sense of self after profound change or loss? This talk walks audiences through the cycle of identity adaptation and helps them shift from rigid roles to resilient mindsets. Especially impactful for teams in transition, high-pressure industries, or post-crisis cultures.

Rewriting the Story: How Identity Fuels Lasting Health Transformation

What if getting healthier isn’t about willpower—but about changing how you see yourself? In this engaging and science-backed talk, trauma-informed coach Leanne Pedante explores the psychology of identity and its powerful role in shaping health behaviors. Drawing from real-world coaching experience and behavior change research, she shares how shifting self-perception—from “I’m not a workout person” to “I move for joy and strength”—can unlock lasting transformation. Audiences will leave with actionable tools to reshape internal narratives, build new habits, and create health changes that actually stick.
