Summary

In this unforgettable episode of The Mike Litton Experience, we welcome the brilliant and fearless Leslie Juvin-Acker—a military brat turned international coach, emotional intelligence expert, law school graduate, and author of six published books with more in the works.

Leslie opens up about her incredible transformation from a struggling 17-year-old surviving on her own to becoming a respected executive coach, bestselling author, law student, and now a homeowner in France. She breaks down how emotional intelligence, money psychology, and access to law can change lives—and why the system is designed to keep people uninformed.

How emotional intelligence and mood engineering can transform your entire life
