Hanging onto the Old You in a New Season | Coach Leslie Tillman on faith, freedom, and finally stepping forward What happens when your life has already changed, but your identity is still stuck in the old version of you? Coach Leslie Tillman shares the turning point that moved her from fear, doubt, and low self-esteem into a season of bold faith, clarity, and purpose. Tonisha Johnson leads a powerful conversation about the hidden cost of staying attached to outdated habits, old environments, and labels that no longer fit. Leslie opens up about the moment she knew “enough was enough,” why she insisted on being called Coach Leslie Tillman, and how getting out of the wrong spaces changed everything. You’ll hear: Why being “unstoppable” is less about hype and more about faith that keeps moving; How desperation for change can become the beginning of real transformation; Why leaving an old job or old identity isn’t just physical, it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual; Why environments, friendships, and even the way you introduce yourself can keep you stuck. Leslie also breaks down the deeper meaning behind The WellRest Spot in Columbus, Ohio, including its connection to the woman at the well and the power of creating a space where people can rest, receive hope, and hear God clearly. It’s a conversation about surrender, humility, and the freedom that comes when you stop competing, stop performing, and start walking in what you were actually called to do. If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more, this episode is for you. Perfect for anyone standing at the edge of a pivot, wondering whether it’s time to let go of the old and step fully into the new.
