Author Leslie Lee Sanders Turns a Lifetime of Quiet Signs Into a Memoir on Spiritual Awakening Author Leslie Lee Sanders Turns a Lifetime of Quiet Signs Into a Memoir on Spiritual Awakening
Wed Jun 24 2026
In her enlightening new book, Ready to Listen?: A Spiritual Self-Help Memoir, prolific author Leslie Lee Sanders explores the signs, symbols and synchronicities that led to her profound spiritual awakening. Part memoir and part practical guide, the book offers a roadmap for anyone looking to quiet the cultural noise and reconnect with their own intuitive power.
For years, the patterns kept showing up. Recurring signs. Coincidences too precise to dismiss. Intuitive nudges arriving at exactly the moments she needed them most. For author Leslie Lee Sanders, the temptation to look away from these signals gradually gave way to something harder to ignore and eventually to a full reckoning with how she was living her life.
That reckoning is the subject of her new book, Ready to Listen? A Spiritual Self-Help Memoir, which traces Sanders' journey from a life shaped by self-doubt and other people's expectations to one built around authenticity and creative voice. Part memoir, part guide, the book is less interested in dramatic revelation than in the slow, often uncomfortable work of paying attention.
"This is not a glossy manifestation," Sanders says of her approach. "It's not a spiritual cliché. It's the hard, honest work of waking up after years of shrinking."
That distinction matters. Ready to Listen? isn't pitched as a story about sudden transformation, Sanders is explicit that her awakening unfolded gradually, through accumulating awareness rather than a single epiphany. The book blends memoir with psychology and spiritual insight to explore several interlocking themes: how burnout can function as a message rather than a personal failure, how confronting limiting beliefs can speed up spiritual growth, why shadow work tends to come before authentic self-expression, and how to tell the difference between fear's noise and intuition's quieter, more persistent signal.
Underlying all of it is a question Sanders returns to throughout the book: what does it mean to reclaim your voice in a culture that often rewards staying quiet? That question is aimed particularly at women who've spent years performing strength rather than naming what they actually feel, readers Sanders hopes will recognise themselves enough to stop overriding their own intuition.
I hope readers feel less alone in questioning their power to create change and more confident in themselves, their abilities and their intuition," she said. "If someone finishes the book feeling empowered, braver, inspired and excited about their future, then it has done its work.
Ready to Listen? marks something of a departure for Sanders, who has built a long career writing fiction. Since launching her writing career in 2005, she's published more than 30 books across genres — psychological thrillers and horror under the name L.L. Sanders, and romance and dystopian fiction under Leslie Lee Sanders, often blending genres in unconventional ways. This is her first work of nonfiction. Outside her books, she shares intuitive guidance through her YouTube channel, Simplee Tarot.
Midwest Book Review has called the memoir "candid, insightful, exceptionally well written," with "a universal resonance" , a description that fits a book less concerned with telling readers what to believe than with giving them permission to trust what they already sense.
Ready to Listen?: A Spiritual Self-Help Memoir is available on Amazon and other online retailers. More on the author is available at llsanders.com.
