She Wasn't
Supposed To Make It.

Leela Cosgrove built three companies anyway, on her own terms, and without asking permission.

The story

From Housing Commission To Here

Leela Cosgrove wasn't supposed to become a successful entrepreneur. She grew up in a housing commission suburb in Brisbane, Australia, surrounded by violence, drug use and the ongoing rhetoric that she would amount to nothing.

She refused to submit to the expectations set for her, defying the odds and escaping the cycle of poverty she saw around her.

What came next wasn't a single business. It was three, each one built to her own design rather than anyone else's blueprint.

What she built

Three Companies

01

Strategic Anarchy

A boutique B2B consulting firm, helping serious entrepreneurs build real businesses.

02

High Priestess

Australia's largest witchcraft education and events company.

03

Witch School

The largest live witchcraft event in the Southern Hemisphere.

The unfair advantage

Where The Spiritual Meets The Strategic

A third-generation psychic and lightworker, Leela is a pioneer in integrating altered states of consciousness into her business strategies.

Through spiritual practices like trance, ritual and energy work, she demonstrates how these powerful states of mind can unlock peak performance, enhance creativity and drive impactful decision-making, bridging the spiritual and the strategic with unparalleled depth.

Her unique ability to merge esoteric wisdom with practical entrepreneurial expertise has made her a trusted advisor to Hollywood celebrities, billionaires and rock stars.
