Today’s episode focuses on one of the greatest forces in women’s motorcycling today – The Litas. The Litas is a worldwide collective of women supporting women who share a common passion for motorcycles. There are over 20k members worldwide with almost 300 chapters in over 30 countries. Members refer to the group as their ‘Chosen Family.’
My guests today are Kelly and Jocelyn of the Central Ct Litas, based not far from where I live. They are beginning their second season as founders of their chapter and already have an amazing line-up of events for you to be a part of. They will both share their stories of how they learned to ride, what riding means to them, especially as a Lita, as well as retell some of their moto adventures with us.

In this week’s episode I am featuring a truly amazing woman, Leslie Reyes. Leslie is the author of the new book “The Zen of Learning to Ride a Motorcycle.“ In this very personal and intimate memoir, Leslie recounts growing up with a mother suffering from schizophrenia and the mental health issues she struggled with as a result of that trauma as a young child. Years of misdiagnoses, drug addiction and codependent relationships led to many difficult years, but she overcame it all with tremendous strength and grace.
Originally from the NY area, Leslie now resides in CA. After attempting to learn to ride and get her moto license when she was younger, she accomplished her goal at the age of 50. Even if you don't ride motorcycles, you will find her stories relatable and inspiring. You can find her new book on Amazon.
