Leslie Lee Sanders   From Shrinking to Self-Expression: New Memoir Explores One Woman’s Journey Toward Trusting Her Intuition   MESA, Ariz., April 23, 2026 — Leslie Lee Sanders learned early how to shrink herself to fit the world around her. Staying silent kept the peace and ensured approval, but it also kept her from fully living.   “I come from being afraid to speak up to needing to speak out, from listening to what society told me I was, to listening to spiritual guidance and intuition,” Sanders said. “From seeing how systems and ‘structure’ can keep us in a box, to the realization that breaking out and being unique is a superpower.”    In her latest book, Ready to Listen?: A Spiritual Self-Help Memoir, the prolific author chronicles her transformation, not just as reflection but as lived experience. Writing the book became part of the journey itself, she acknowledges — a process of removing what no longer fit, reclaiming her voice and learning to follow the intuitive guidance she once questioned.   Her turning point didn’t happen at once. It unfolded through moments of increasing awareness of patterns, synchronicities and signs that gradually became a guiding force that reshaped her life.   “This is not glossy manifestation,” Sanders said. “It’s not spiritual cliché. It’s the hard, honest work of waking up after years of shrinking.”   Blending memoir, psychology and spiritual insight, Sanders explores: • How burnout can be a message, not a failure • Why silencing yourself is often mistaken for maturity • The difference between fear’s noise and intuition’s quiet persistence • What it means to reclaim your voice in a world that rewards your silence   Through her story, Sanders invites readers, especially women who’ve spent years performing strength, to stop overriding their own inner truth, dust off their dreams and reconnect with their power.   “I hope readers feel less alone in questioning their power to create change and more confident in themselves, their abilities and their intuition,” she added. “If someone finishes the book feeling empowered, braver, inspired and excited about their future, then it has done its work.”   https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Listen-spiritual-self-help-memoir/dp/B0G5TJP2GK
