These days, it can be hard to be true to who you are — we might have the tendency to people-please, to try to not be judged, to protect ourselves from criticism — and so we feel like we either have to be someone we’re not … or withdraw from engaging with others. How can we put ourselves out there, express ourselves, and still be authentic? In our October Fearless Living Academy workshop, we’re going to explore how to express our core values even under the pressure to conform. Topics we’ll...

You just trust yourself, take action, and...

I’ve noticed that so many people are just trying to get through their work days by getting stuff done, checking off boxes, doing what we think we should do.

My friends, There are times when life just feels like too much — too many responsibilities, too many moving parts, too many expectations.

In this month’s Fearless Living Academy workshop, I’ve invited writer and engineer Beth Adele Long to guide us through something she calls load-shedding — a...

My friends, I’ve been focusing a lot on the theme of “taking action in your life” in my own life and in the work I do with others, because I think it’s a truly transformative change for most of us.

It’s really powerful, and we’ve seen our members use it to really amazing success! I’d love to talk to you more about how to actually use it in the most...
