Your brain is lying to you...

Howdy Reader! That's when I told her that her brain was lying to her. And there's science to prove it! Ever notice how your brain seems to go into overdrive the minute life feels uncertain? You start mapping out every possible outcome… trying to “stay ahead of it”... maybe even convincing yourself that if you just work harder or plan better, things will settle down. That’s not you being obsessive. That’s your brain doing what it’s wired to do. It craves control. Constantly searching for certainty and tidy equations that make the world feel predictable again. But here’s the problem: when control becomes our safety blanket, we stop listening to our intuition, our team, and even our own energy. We end up overextended, second-guessing ourselves, and wondering why “doing more” doesn’t actually make things easier. Today I'm showing you how you can reclaim a sense of steadiness without trying to micromanage your way through the chaos.
It’s an eye-opening read, especially if you’ve been white-knuckling your way through uncertainty lately. Until next time, - Lisa P.S.

You tell yourself, “I just need to push through.” But by mid-afternoon, your body’s tense, your patience is thin, and even simple decisions feel heavier than they should. That’s not a lack of motivation....
Howdy Reader!There’s a question I’ve been sitting with lately — one that cuts through the noise and gets right to the heart of authentic leadership: When the audience is gone… when there’s no one to impress or prove yourself to… who do you become? Over the past few months, I’ve had to ask myself that question again and again. Between health scares in my family, moving across the country, and re-establishing the foundation of my work, I realized how easy it is to perform leadership instead of...
Howdy Reader!As you're reading this, Jim and I are up in Longview for his surgery. Send us the good juju, wouldja? Thyroid cancer is supposed to be "no big deal" - a quick outpatient procedure. We're supposed to be home this afternoon. But you know, it's cancer, so who really knows what's going to happen until it's done?That's why I wrote this post over the weekend and scheduled it to go out Monday morning (which should be TODAY, if the internet gods are playing nicely!).Having tools that...
