Today we’d like to introduce you to Leanne Evans-Harknett.
Hi Leanne, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
For a long time, I looked like I had it all together. Decent job, full social life, confident on the outside. But internally? I was carrying a lot, anxiety, a sense of unworthiness, a feeling that something inside me just wasn’t settled. I didn’t even have language for it back then. I just knew.
Like a lot of women, I went looking for answers in the wellness world. And honestly, at first it helped. I felt more connected, more hopeful, more like I was finally doing something for myself rather than just pushing through. That felt significant.
But over time, what started as healing started to feel like something else. I became more restricted in my thinking, more unsettled, more confused, not less. I was searching for identity and peace in places that, if I’m honest, couldn’t hold the weight of what I was actually carrying. I kept going deeper in, expecting to feel lighter. Instead, I felt more depleted and broken.
Eventually I hit a wall. I was exhausted, anxious, and completely disconnected from any sense of peace. And in that moment, really crying out for truth and clarity, something shifted. I made a decision to step away from what wasn’t working and trust that there was another way to live. A more grounded one.
What came through that process wasn’t just a change in habits. It was a change in how I understood myself, who I was, what actually mattered, how I wanted to show up in the world. I stopped striving and started learning what it meant to live from a place of alignment and intention.
Lifted Spirits Wellbeing came out of that. Not from a business plan, from a lived experience. From understanding, deeply and personally, what women are actually navigating right now. We’re busy, we’re stretched, and so much of what the world offers us is noise dressed up as nourishment. Lifted Spirits exists to help women slow down, reconnect with who they really are, and build rhythms that make their lives feel sustainable, and genuinely joyful.
My story is really about moving from survival mode to alignment. And creating spaces where other women get to do the same.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Smooth? No. Not even close!
Building Lifted Spirits has meant building something I genuinely believe in, while life has been happening at full volume around me. I became a mum in 2025, which is its own kind of beautiful disruption. I’ve been navigating a new season personally while also trying to show up for a brand that still needs me to show up.
There have been moments where the vision has been crystal clear and the energy just hasn’t been there to match it. And there have been moments where I’ve had the energy and had to make peace with the pace. That tension is real.
I’ve also had to do a lot of unlearning. The wellness industry can be noisy, full of formulas and frameworks and people telling you that if you just do it this way, it will work. I’ve had to resist the urge to copy what everyone else is doing and trust that the way Lifted Spirits is built, slowly, intentionally, from real experience, is actually the point.
And then there’s the internal stuff. Building something rooted in restoration while you’re still in your own process of becoming, that’s not always comfortable. There have been seasons where I’ve had to practise everything I teach. Slow down when I wanted to sprint. Rest when I felt behind. Trust the timing even when I couldn’t see the full picture.
But honestly? The struggles have shaped the work. Everything Lifted Spirits Wellbeing offers exists because I’ve needed it too.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Lifted Spirits is a faith-rooted wellbeing community for women who are ready to stop running on empty and start living with real intention.
What we specialise in is rhythm. Not routines — rhythm. There’s a difference. Routines are things you do. Rhythm is how you live. And so much of what I see women struggling with isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of sustainable foundations. They’re doing all the things and still feeling depleted. Lifted Spirits exists to change that.
At the heart of everything is the Wellness Rhythm System, my signature framework built around the understanding that lasting wellbeing starts with identity, not just behaviour. When a woman knows who she is, she stops filling her life with things that drain her and starts making choices that actually sustain her. That’s the shift Lifted Spirits is designed to create.
Our flagship offering right now is Restore Your Rhythm, a virtual membership community for women who want consistent support, not just a one-off workshop they’ll forget about by Monday. For £79 a month, members get weekly Friday Rhythm Check-ins, a monthly virtual Restore retreat, and access to our daily WhatsApp community. That community is something I’m genuinely proud of. It’s warm, it’s real, and it’s become a space where women are actually showing up for each other, not just consuming content.
What sets us apart? Honestly, it’s the combination of depth and accessibility. We’re not a hustle culture wellness brand. We’re not toxic positivity. We hold space for the full reality of women’s lives, the complexity, the faith questions, the exhaustion, and we do it without shame and without pressure. Women come here and feel seen before they’ve even said a word.
What I’m most proud of is that Lifted Spirits doesn’t feel like a product. It feels like a place. And for women who have spent years looking for somewhere they actually belong in the wellness space, that matters more than I can say.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Just this: if any part of my story resonated with you, I don’t think that’s an accident.
There are so many women walking around holding more than anyone around them knows. Keeping it together on the outside while quietly wondering if this is really it. If they’re really okay. If there’s another way to live that doesn’t cost them so much of themselves.
There is. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Lifted Spirits exists for that woman. The one who is done with surface level solutions. The one who is ready to do the deeper work, not from a place of striving, but from a place of coming home to herself.
If that’s you, I’d love for you to find us. Come and sit with us on a Friday. Join the WhatsApp community for a week and just see how it feels. You don’t have to commit to anything except showing up for yourself, even just once, and seeing what happens.
The world needs women who are well. Not performing wellness, but actually living it. Rooted, rhythmic, and free.
That’s what we’re building at Lifted Spirits. And there’s a place here for you.
