About Me

Meet the Founder

I’m Leah Smith, Founder and CEO of Consciously Living™, a movement that blends purpose with practice to help brands and communities live and lead with intention. Consciously Living™ serves as both the hub and the heart of my work — a brand rooted in presence, purpose, and faith that brings conscious connection into the world of wellness, beauty, and business.

​

Through Face Yoga Institute™, I share holistic beauty and wellness practices that integrate mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and natural vitality. Through the Slumber Party Box™, I create playful, community-centered self-care experiences that help women reconnect with themselves and one another. Together, these offerings have evolved into strategic brand activations that help partners build community, inspire connection, and expand their reach through experiential marketing.

​

The vision for Consciously Living™ began in 2019 during a season of profound personal transformation. Out of that experience came a calling to create not just businesses, but a movement that inspires individuals and organizations to live with authenticity, compassion, and divine alignment.

Professional Background:

Everything I create flows from my desire to help others live with intention, integrity, and faith.

​​

College Instructor

As an instructor of business communication, entrepreneurship, and management, I help students and professionals turn ideas into impact. Before entering higher education, I spent 17 years in public service leading more than 300 employees and managing a $17 million annual budget. My background in leadership, operations, and strategy shapes how I design programs, partnerships, and brand experiences.

 

Entrepreneur:

As a licensed esthetician and founder of Fika Skön™, a skincare boutique inspired by the Swedish tradition of slowing down to reconnect. Though I no longer offer 1:1 facials, my work continues through curated products, wellness experiences, and community practices like the Face Yoga Institute™ which emphasizes beauty, rest, and intentional living from the inside out.

​

Community Builder:

I founded The Slumber Party Series™, to help women gather, grow, and connect through meaningful conversation and self-care. My heart for community extends to volunteer work with the Louisiana Association for Challenged Adults and service on the Livingston Industrial Development Board, where I advocate for sustainable local growth and opportunity.

​

Author:

As an author, I share my story of transformation and faith to encourage others navigating change. My writing and speaking engagements remind audiences that growth and grace often begin in the most unexpected places. Check out my book here

The Vision Behind Consciously Living™

Consciously Living™ is the central hub of my work and the umbrella that anchors all of my ventures—The Face Yoga Institute™ and The Slumber Party Box + Series™.

​

At its core, it is a lifestyle and leadership brand that partners with wellness and beauty companies, educators, and community organizations to design experiences that merge mindfulness and marketing. We believe in helping people and brands live in alignment with their values, create authentic engagement, and build conscious communities that last.

Because when purpose and partnership meet, community becomes the new currency — and connection becomes the foundation for lasting growth.
