I overwatered and left my peace 🕊️lily outside when it was a little chilly. Not very peaceful or loving of me 😢  
But I see new, healthy growth!! Should I just brush through and pull out the lead leaves?

probably!

Yes! Right away, plants don’t like old leaves hanging around and sucking up the nutrients from the new growth

I'd grab a pair of shears. Any leaves that pluck out with minimal force you can grab with your hand, and if you have to tug on it then cut it. Sterilizing shears before working on your plant also helps prevent you from spreading disease to the open cuts. I'd love to see its transformation after you've worked on it!
