Welcome back to The Glass Sessions!

In this episode of The Glass Sessions, we talk with Leah Zaccaria - former CPA turned community builder and founder of Shefa Yoga - to talk about what happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels like your own.

Leah shares her journey from corporate accounting to creating a community-centered yoga business, and the internal work that made that shift possible. What started as a realization that external markers of success weren’t fulfilling turned into a full re-evaluation of how she wanted to live, work, and show up.

This conversation is equal parts grounded and expansive - from knowing your numbers and managing cash flow, to building a business rooted in service and community.

What we cover:

• Transitioning from CPA to building a community-first business
• The moment success stopped feeling fulfilling
• How to find your intuition
• Letting go of external expectations and redefining success
• Building Shefa Yoga - including opening a studio in March 2020
• Why financial literacy still matters in purpose-driven work
• Creating belonging through community, not just offerings
