In this Visionary New Earth Leaders episode, I sit down with Pia Leichter — a conscious creative, bestselling author, certified coach, and the founder of Collective Studio — for a deep, grounded conversation on creativity, transformation, and the sacred work of inner alignment.
Pia brings such wisdom and grace as she shares her journey from journalism in Sri Lanka to founding a creative agency in Denmark, and what it means to live as a “recovering nomad.” Her story is a beautiful reminder that home is not always a place, but a state of presence we cultivate within.
We explore how creativity becomes a mirror for our truth, how stillness can be one of the greatest portals for healing, and how vulnerability becomes a leadership frequency when rooted in sovereignty.
This conversation is an invitation to pause, feel, and reconnect with what’s real. If you’re a visionary who senses that it’s time to create not from performance, but from presence… this one’s for you.
What We Explore Together:
- Pia’s journey from global journalism to conscious creative leadership
- The emotional and spiritual impact of constant movement
- How she redefined creativity as an act of presence, not production
- Balancing masculine structure and feminine flow in business
- The sacred practice of naming emotions to reclaim inner safety
- Creative coaching as a path to authentic expression and embodiment
- Grounding rituals that anchor visionaries in their truth
- Vulnerability as a radical leadership tool
