Hi, my name is Leah McIntosh. I'm the founder of Superiorthinker Inc. This is my bio...I am a wife, fur mama to her two miniature schnauzers, travel enthusiast, and Life Coach specializing in self-forgiveness.

I started my self-improvement journey in 2016 after starting my first of many attempts at figuring out how to build a business online. I met my first mentor, who gave me the real raw truth that I would not be successful until I dealt with my mess. During my time with him, I had some fantastic shifts and started to see some success, but to be honest, it was short-lived because I still could not access that innermost place where my hurt and pain dwelled.

I never really shared with anyone that I woke up daily feeling a heaviness throughout my body and that I hid my sadness behind my humor and smile. I ended up getting sick at the end of 2017, which derailed all the momentum I’d built for my business, and I could not gain the motivation to start working on the business again. For more than three years, I’ve battled this undiagnosed ill, which required surgery, countless doctor appointments, and just feeling overall unbalanced and unhealthy.

One day while scrolling online, I saw an ad for a weekend self-improvement workshop, and by this time, it was December 2019, and I wanted to do something to help get me out of the funk I’d been in for two years by then. I called my cousin up and encouraged her to meet me in Charlotte, NC, for this workshop, and she agreed to meet me. We arrived at the hotel where the workshop was being held and immediately met some cool folks on a similar journey.

I got more than I bargained for at the workshop and had the most massive shift I’d ever experienced. You see, that daily feeling of heaviness that I carried with me was that mess my mentor encouraged me to shed. It was anger, sadness, hurt, guilt, and shame that I shouldered and could not release with traditional talk therapy. I’ve had a therapist for years and had never delved deep on an unconscious level, which was where all that negativity resided.

I learned that I had adopted the identity of victimhood and lived in that for most of my life. I had to learn that I had to forgive myself for living with that identity for so long in order for me to move forward. I chose to accept and forgive myself that weekend and change that identity that never served me to a survivor, conquer, and a badass!

Fast-forward to today, and I am now a coach who specializes in helping parents of differently-abled children and adults delve deep into their unconscious minds to heal so they can go from surviving to thriving!
