In this episode, we sit down with Leslie Urbas, a body competency coach, registered dietitian, and personal trainer with over 15 years of experience, who is on a mission to help midlife women stop sacrificing their lives to diets, shame, and unrealistic expectations.
Leslie opens up about her personal journey through body shaming, disordered eating, and health challenges—and how those experiences inspired her to create her empowering approach to body competency.
Together, we explore the pressures women face from cultural norms, the importance of tuning into our inner voice rather than external opinions, and how listening to our bodies can transform not only our health but also our confidence and joy in life.
She shares simple yet powerful tools for reconnecting with your intuition, resetting your nervous system, and making decisions that feel aligned with who you truly are.
We also talk about the freedom of raising kids in Spain, embracing a slower pace of life, and redefining what it means to live well outside of society’s “normal.”
If you’ve ever struggled with body image, self-trust, or finding your own way in a world full of “shoulds,” this conversation will leave you inspired to step out of the herd and find your unique path.
Leslie Urbas is a Body Competency Coach, registered dietitian, and personal trainer who helps midlife women stop sacrificing their lives to diets, shame, and unrealistic expectations.
Through her unique approach, which blends Digestion Codes with somatic work, she empowers women to reconnect with their bodies and reclaim confidence, health, and freedom.
Leslie combines her deep sense of family values as a military wife and devoted mom of two (born in 2018 and 2020) with her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for helping others thrive.
She lives her highest purpose daily—supporting women in transforming their relationship with food, health, and themselves.
Her own life is a testament to resilience and joy. A light-hearted yet powerful example of her unwavering commitment is her wedding in 2017: rather than postponing when Hurricane Irma hit, she and her husband tied the knot on the beach in the middle of the storm. It’s this same combination of courage, joy, and determination that Leslie brings to her work and her clients.
Today, she thrives by weaving together her passions for life, health, business, and family in a way that uplifts everyone whose lives she touches.
