A Break is Necessary for Breakthroughs with Krysten Leighty

Jessica Patay

Hello Brave Friends! On this story episode we are exploring the vital yet (especially in our community) illusive act of taking a break. 

Our storyteller is Krysten Leighty whose daughter Lana, was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, and found early on that the “go go go” mentality of the medical world was counterintuitive to her instincts, as a mother, to just stop and be present with her child.


Krysten Leighty is an artist of many talents, an ambivert, empath, a work in progress human, a partner in love and a wild mama inspired by nature and traveling the world. She is a fierce advocate for her beautiful daughter who just so happens to be rare.
