Meet Leanne

Founder

Founder of TLC, a faith-based sober living recovery home for women! Leanne struggled with alcohol and prescription pills for several years. She sought help through several different secular programs. One was top-rated in the nation. Leanne tried inpatient, outpatient, a few different sober living homes, therapy, you name it she tried it and nothing worked. Fortunately, her family stepped in and she was able to get sober for a little over a year. During that year Leanne was still struggling with her mental health which led her to relapse. Her family was done and stepped away (as they should). Leanne burned every bridge. She was heading into another spiral. Leanne knew if she didn't get help, she would be sent to jail or even worse her grave.

Leanne surrendered her life to the Lord. He was the only one who could save her. Leanne entered a one-year faith-based residential program, called Come As you Are in Steamboat Springs, CO. She was was set free, healed and delivered from the bondage that kept her from fully living. That is when God laid it on her heart to help other women. She never thought she would find true freedom. She knew if God could heal her, He could use her to help other women. It was when she graduated her program, that sober living was put on her heart. 

Leanne watched several of her sisters in Christ work so hard to graduate and not have a safe place to go home to. This is very common for many of us when we go into treatment. Leanne graduated from CAYA. Leanne was very fortunate to be able to transition home but that was still changing her people, places and things. It took a lot of work and planning while in her program to make sure she transitioned home safely. When she moved home she stayed in ministry by mentoring other women and helping women find treatment and continued working with her program. Leanne continued praying about sober living and God has been opening doors.
