In this week’s episode I am featuring a truly amazing woman, Leslie Reyes. Leslie is the author of the new book “The Zen of Learning to Ride a Motorcycle.“ In this very personal and intimate memoir, Leslie recounts growing up with a mother suffering from schizophrenia and the mental health issues she struggled with as a result of that trauma as a young child. Years of misdiagnoses, drug addiction and codependent relationships led to many difficult years, but she overcame it all with tremendous strength and grace.

Originally from the NY area, Leslie now resides in CA. After attempting to learn to ride and get her moto license when she was younger, she accomplished her goal at the age of 50. Even if you don't ride motorcycles, you will find her stories relatable and inspiring. You can find her new book on Amazon.
