Meet Leah Barnes – Your Guide Back to You

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. I’m Leah, founder of Enlightened Trails and a certified hypnotherapist, grief‑recovery specialist, yoga nidra and breath‑work facilitator, and life coach. After years of working with clients navigating loss, trauma and self‑criticism, I realized that most of us carry judgments that were never ours to begin with. I created Authentic Connections to help you uncover inherited patterns of self‑judgment and replace them with radical self‑compassion. My approach blends evidence‑based practices with deep, empathetic listening. Clients have called our work together “life‑changing” and “freeing,” not because I offer answers but because I hold up a mirror so they can see themselves clearly, reclaim their power and rewrite their own story. If you’re ready to free yourself from the quiet voice that says “I’m not enough,” I’d be honored to walk beside you.

From My Transformation to Yours

For years I tried everything: therapy, sound baths, energy work, even sacred plant medicines, but a heaviness lingered. Eventually I realized the block wasn’t outside of me at all; it was the shadow of judgment I carried within. When I learned to sit with my own self‑criticism without shame, my inner voice softened and my relationships transformed. That’s why I created Authentic Connections: to share the tools that helped me become my own ally so you can, too.

Are You Tired of Feeling “Not Enough” No Matter How Hard You Try?

You’ve done the inner work—journaling, therapy, meditation—but no matter how much you try, the cycle of self‑criticism and judgment keeps repeating. You long for authentic connection, yet the quiet voice of “I’m not enough” lingers in the background. In Authentic Connections: Transforming Judgment into Compassion, we’ll break those cycles at the root. Together we’ll uncover hidden beliefs passed down from family, culture and society and transform the way you see yourself and others. Through guided lessons, reflective exercises and practical tools, you’ll learn how to: Recognize judgment without shame – Become aware of your inner critic and its origins, so you can meet it with understanding instead of resistance. Release inherited patterns that no longer serve you – Let go of beliefs and expectations you’ve absorbed from others. Stop projecting self‑criticism onto others – Understand how your inner dialogue shapes your relationships and learn to shift it. Rewire your inner voice with radical self‑compassion – Practice speaking to yourself the way you would to a dear friend. Build heart‑centered, judgment‑free relationships – Use micro‑practices to foster genuine connection with yourself and those around you.

What You'll Experience

Clarity – Uncover the hidden roots of your self‑judgment (often inherited, not chosen) so you can stop feeling like something is wrong with you and finally understand where those harsh voices come from. Relief – Release guilt and shame without bypassing your real feelings. Imagine waking up without the constant whisper of “not enough” and being able to breathe easier in your own skin. Connection – Build deeper, more compassionate relationships with yourself and the people you love. As you learn to soften your inner dialogue, you’ll notice that the walls you’ve built begin to come down. Empowerment – Gain practical tools you can use in any moment of judgment or criticism, so instead of spiraling into old patterns, you can catch the judgment, meet it with kindness and choose a different response.
