If you’re in this camp, one or more of these will sound familiar to you: Of course, the time never comes when you’re feeling settled, when you’re not busy or stressed or overwhelmed, […]
A Powerful Uncertainty Challenge
A year ago, my team & I started a grand experiment in our Fearless Living Academy, designed to create the best training possible for learning to face and deal with uncertainty in our lives, especially around habits and purpose work.

Transforming the Constant Feeling of Being Behind
You start the day with the feeling: there’s a bunch of things I need to do right away. Then the rest of the day, you’re driven by the feeling that there’s so much to do, and you’re behind on it all. You finish the day with the same feeling, and it carries over until tomorrow. […]
