Summary

The pandemic has empowered many to intentionally pursue their dreams, and claim the lives they desire for themselves.

This week, we are joined by writer, director, creator & EP of STARZ new dramedy Run The World, Leigh Davenport. Similar to the title of her new show, Leigh epitomizes what it means to run her own world.

She walks us through her journey of quitting her prestigious position at Hello Beautiful to pursue her dreams of becoming a writer. Leigh shares with us the obstacles she encountered during the pursuit of her goals and the importance of having a tribe to support her through difficult phases of her life.

In this episode, we are reminded that when you reach for the sky, you may actually end up on STARZ.

0:00.0	This message is brought to you by the KoloGarde test. Cologard is a one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening through a use-at-home test, with none of the prep that's required of a colonoscopy. So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your health care provider about screening for colon cancer with the KoloGard test. You can also request a Colagard prescription today at

1:26.6	At some point, we all ask ourselves, is there more to life?
1:31.5	I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you. My so-called midlife is out
1:39.2	now, wherever you get your podcast. This week on the sugar.
1:45.1	You know, those first couple of years in L.A. were rough.
1:48.1	It was a lot of purging and a lot of spiritual work.
1:51.9	Thinking about who I was in my core, like, what was my purpose on earth?
1:55.8	What were my God-given talents?
1:57.8	And this script just never would leave me.
2:00.0	I always believed in this project. I kind of
