June Workshop · Load-Shedding for Cluttered Lives


My friends,

There are times when life just feels like too much — too many responsibilities, too many moving parts, too many expectations. It can leave us stretched thin, or even feeling like we’re failing just by trying to keep up.

In those moments, our instinct might be to push harder. But what if the more powerful move is to let go?

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 framework for lightening the load when things feel too full.

Beth will walk us through four key strategies you can use when you’re in overload — and just as important, how to deal with the resistance that shows up when it’s time to release something.

Here’s what we’ll explore together:

  • The difference between overload and overwhelm
  • The art of saying no (even after a yes)
  • The strategic power of moving deadlines
  • The liberation of changing expectations
  • The strength in asking for help

The first half will be focused on teaching and tools. In the second half, Beth will offer live coaching to help you apply the framework to your own situation. Bring your own story of “too much” — this is a space where it’s welcome.

Join us on Wednesday, June 18 at 11 am Pacific / 2 pm Eastern for this 90-minute session. I think you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what to release, and how to move forward with more calm and resilience.

with gratitude,
Leo

It can feel disheartening when you want to create something meaningful and suddenly run straight into a wall. The ideas might be there, yet something inside tenses up, pulls back, or shuts down. Creative resistance can feel confusing, frustrating, and even a little mysterious. Why does this happen? That’s the topic of my upcoming webinar, Beneath the Creative Block: What Your Resistance Is Trying to Tell You. I’ll be co-teaching with Amanda Goddard, my friend, fellow coach, and Zen Habits...

Every year in December, I encourage everyone in Fearless Living Academy to go through our Sacred Bow Challenge (note: “Bow” rhymes with “cow”), which is a process of reviewing your year to get the most out of it, and then setting intentions and structure for the coming year. I find it a powerful process for reaping the most learnings from our year, and setting ourselves up for success in the year to come. But there’s another benefit of going through the Sacred Bow Challenge — it can be a...

It can be a real struggle these days, in the over-stimulated environments we work in, to set clear intentions, stay focused and actually do work that creates an impact. In the face of this, many of us are trying to build solid productivity habits… and a lot of the time, these efforts fail. Then we blame ourselves and lose trust in ourselves. Why do we struggle to create good habits around focus and productivity? That’s the topic of my upcoming webinar, Why Your Productivity Habits Keep...
