Next Session:
November 20 at 12 pm ET
This month, we’re listening to a podcast I was featured on!
I joined Bobby Temps on Mental for a conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed. We talked about Energetic Clutter—a term I coined while cleaning out my kitchen cabinets. I realized we hold on to a lot of old stuff, much like those expired spices lurking in the back of our cupboards. (If you want to learn more about Energetic Clutter before we meet, watch this animation I created with a local artist.)
We also discussed how a group dynamic like Stories & Screens helps you realize you're not alone in your struggles. Bobby and I explored limiting beliefs (which I cover the top 7 in the animation), like hustling for your worth, that many of us learned in childhood. These beliefs often developed to help us feel safe, loved, and cared for, but they no longer serve us.
Here's what happens when we don't address them: those old patterns, untrue stories, and Energetic Clutter keep us stuck, preventing us from living a life that truly feels good.
Join us this month and you'll:
Gain clarity on the limiting beliefs that no longer serve you
Connect with others who understand your journey
Leave feeling lighter, empowered, and ready to create space for what matters most
Sign up for FREE! We'd love to support you in this work.
“Life imitates art.”
And sometimes, art says the thing we didn’t know we needed to hear.
A line in a book. A scene in a show. A moment in a podcast.
You’ve felt that spark—that pause—when something clicks.
A soft insight. A hidden nugget of personal wisdom.
Not loud or flashy, but real enough to stay with you.
Stories & Screens is where we talk about those moments—and why they matter.
What is Stories & Screens?
A “Book Plus Club” for Your Inner Growth Journey
Stories & Screens is a free, virtual club where we explore personal growth and development through stories told on screen and through sound.
We’ll reflect together using:
Podcasts
Movies
TV shows
And yes, maybe a book or two
It’s like a book club—but with a broader lens and a softer vibe.
Why It Matters
Not everything that fills our time feeds our growth. There’s a lot of noise out there—and when we’re moving fast, it’s easy to miss the quiet truths that help us come home to ourselves.
But every once in a while, something lands.
A moment in a show.
A sentence in a podcast.
A character arc that makes you think,
“Wait… is this about me?”
The stories we watch and listen to aren’t just entertainment—they mirror our patterns, our possibilities, and sometimes even our pain.
They can reveal beliefs we didn’t know we were carrying. They can remind us we’re not alone. And they can offer us a way forward that actually feels good.
This isn’t about analyzing content.
It’s about listening with a different kind of attention—one that helps clear Energetic Clutter and reconnect you to the life you’re here to live.
Let’s pause. Reflect. And find meaning in what we’re already watching, reading, and hearing.
Who It’s For
This space is for you if:
You love a good story—and also love talking about what it means to you
You want your personal growth journey to feel natural, not forced
You enjoy reflection without the pressure to fix or perform
You’ve shouted “OMG SAME” at a character on TV
You’d like to meet up with a group of people who enjoy a blend of fun and learning about themselves

Tanya Cole-Lesnick
Tanya brings years of experience helping people navigate their inner lives—first as a therapist, now as a personal growth coach. She has experience leading book clubs, both at Barnes & Noble and in her private therapy practice, always with a unique approach: turning stories into starting points for self-discovery.
With Stories & Screens, she’s opening up the circle—welcoming more people into a “book plus club” where growth comes from the media that moves us: books, shows, podcasts, and more.
Tanya has a gift for asking questions that open new perspectives and stir meaningful conversation. She believes transformation doesn’t have to feel like hard work—it can start with a sentence, a scene, or a shared story.
With heart, clarity, and a deep appreciation for connection, she creates space for thoughtful exploration and honest dialogue.

Molly Lesnick
With a background in sociology and a natural gift for writing, Molly brings a thoughtful and reflective voice to Stories & Screens. For her, writing isn’t just expression—it’s how she processes, makes sense of emotions, and explores growth.
Her interest in people (shaped by both her studies and her therapist mom!) shows up in the way she listens, reflects, and holds space in group conversations. Molly has always had an eye for language—since childhood, her ability to spot powerful words and phrases has stood out to those around her.
She leads with warmth, insight, and a curiosity that invites deeper reflection. And of course, her rescue pup Tink is never far, often curled up nearby during meetings, quietly supporting the creative flow.
