The Banyan Effect Podcast


We created this podcast as a way to help women not only get through challenge, but use it as fuel to find their purpose, build connection, and take up all the space they were meant to.

#dontwastethestruggle

Welcome! 

We came together not long ago when our worlds became connected through kids sports and other friendships. Quickly, we realized that we had way more in common than ever could have imagined. We both decided to open our hearts and share our most intimate secrets. Through that, we both learned how much being vulnerable can impact other people.

Together, we created this podcast.

These two host SO well together! From episode 1, you can tell this podcast is going to be real from the hosts, to the topics, the conversations they have and the wisdom they share. "How do you throw risk out the window and just go for it in life?" This quote hit home for me and I can't wait to hear more from Mindi and Leslie!
