My breakthrough moment..
I help those living their lives for others finally live life for themselves. As a communication and relationship expert, I give people the tools they need to love the life they live. The key to my own story was accountability. With support, love, and curiosity, a whole new version of life is in store. It’s possible to feel more confident and more fulfilled. It’s possible to respect yourself while compassionately loving others in a happy, loving, long-term relationship for life. It’s the light way to love! And you don’t have to do it alone. If you are ready to stop people-pleasing, drop the drama and look within, then make yourself a priority, let’s talk today.
Make yourself accountable!

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel”.
At 39, I found myself on the floor. My heart had stopped beating. I saw the white light and had a near-death experience. After paramedics rushed me to the hospital and the doctors shared the diagnosis, I knew that wasn’t the cause of the real pain. The truth was I was an addict. But,
Instead of substances, I was addicted to people.
In every relationship I was in, I thought I could manipulate, help, save, or fix the other person. I believed that when my partner was “ok,” then I would be “ok. To find the love, safety, and security I thought I needed, I became obsessed with judging, seeking, and searching for the cause, the cure, of my partner’s pain, issues, and problems.
But I had lost myself. While on the outside, it looked like I had it all—a beautiful home, dream vacations, and a nanny for my two children—on the inside, I was filled with shame, self-loathing, worthlessness, and betrayal. My addiction to people spilled over into every connection and moment and took over every area of my life.
I had to break free. I had to put down the magnifying glass that I was holding to my then-husband and all the relationships of my past and hold a mirror up to myself. After a process of self-discovery, accountability, and deep compassion, I broke through to the other side and
Most of us have been conditioned to care about what people think rather than what we feel. Stop putting a strain on your mental, emotional, and physical well being by worrying about others’ addictions and toxic lifestyles.
Through suffering, we have the opportunity to evolve with positive changes.
Are you eager to obtain a clear mind and fresh momentum to move forward in your life without fear and anxiety concerning the damaging issues of others?
Every individual creates their own reality which is why no two people share the same experience.
The challenge toward progress involves questioning your long-held beliefs to expand into the new version of you.
Eliminate relationship confusion and chaos… with me, Etel Leit.
Allow me to be your personal, transformation coach to help you uncover your detrimental patterns and equip you with positive psychology solutions to choose better for your peace of mind and true serenity.
You deserve to discover your passion and pursue it!
Free of chaos, worry, and darkness, into the magnificent light!“
Love Unconditionally,
