She also shares why even we as adults could benefit massively by learning how to reconnect our minds and hearts and even potentially solve a lot of the world’s problems with this return to nature. This is a perfect conversation for anyone who recognizes that this generation thirsts for a lot more wisdom than simply memorizing their ABCs. 

Highlights:

• Leesa talks about motherhood and what inspired her to write A New Alphabet for Humanity. (7:50) 
• We are in an era of planetary change and I want to make an impact in this next generation. (8:00) 
• Pinning down a time horizon on your goals including that of building your own legacy. (8:42) 
• How you can be a good ancestor vs. making immediate quarterly goals? (10:28) 
• Taking the long-term view is reminiscent of indigenous and aboriginal tribes, perhaps we should reconsider the extent of our impact too? (11:34) 
• We would solve the world’s problem if our hearts were connected and we were connected to nature, a download Leesa got at a beach with her son in Byron Bay. (12:58) 
• Nature as a resource we should use versus being connected to nature. (14:06) 
• Becoming a mom does remind you that you are of nature and conjures a primal feeling. (16:01) 
• The paradigm shift of becoming a mom and bringing the feminine into the world. (17:24) 
• Going beyond the alphabet and helping kids connect with their hearts to achieve heart/brain coherence. (18:57) 
• We can easily fill our kid’s mind with knowledge; yet how can we instead help them with that mind-brain coherence, create resilience and connect with humanity? (21:00) 
• A New Alphabet for Humanity is making a difference by being of service and contribution to each other – that’s where the juice is. (21:58) 
• The ripple effect of making a difference. (29:52) 
• The biggest compliment Leesa recently received from Maggy Dent, a parenting expert in Australia. (30:07) 
• This generation is requiring more from parents i.e. that new consciousness that is coming in. (31:25) 
• We are born with a heart/mind connection. (31:35) 
• The educational system is designed to create efficient factory units not figuring out your passion; this is one reason why we may feel disconnected from our hearts. (35:00) 
• Getting good grades is not life-affirming. Those success metrics are wealth-affirming and we need something new. (39:06) 
• We explore personal definitions of success and discuss Naomi Simson Founder of Red Balloon. (39:52) 
• What Leesa hopes parents get out of reading A New Alphabet for Humanity. (42:24) 
• Ponder this: what did you teach your kids today that was meaningful? (45:10) 
• Looking at the issues of our time: how feminine energy is not gender-specific – the reality is we were programmed to embody masculine energy for the economy not to be human. (46:16) 
• Sustainability: Businesses can be more successful if they decide to be part of some change in the world. For example, for every copy of Leesa’s book sold, a tree is planted. (49:07) 
• There are opportunities for businesses to do genuine good. (49:57) 
• Leesa’s book gives children a language to use to express what would make them happy in the future. (53:12) 
• Life is all about service and contribution. (53:52) 
• A useful framework to consider if you want to build a mission-driven business or outlook, the SDG goals, there are 17 of them. (55:16) 
• Ask yourself: what is the problem in the world that bothers you the most and how can you plug yourself into it so that you can solve it? (55:47)
