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.

Not all decisions belong in your head Here’s what I see constantly with smart, capable leaders like you: Big-picture questions are treated like urgent to-dos (the stakes feel so high!) Emotional or identity-level decisions are approached like logic puzzles (I just need to "figure this...
Hey there Reader! We're in that weird part of the year now. Holidays and seasonal plans that take us out of our "normal mode" for a while. That can be good: stepping back, seeing things with a new perspective, celebrating how far we've come. It can also have some other "results": exhaustion, isolation, overwhelm, uncertainty. As if this year wasn't already front-loaded with a bunch of that stuff!If you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to handle this… why does it feel so hard?” — you’re in...
Happy Holidays Reader! Can I say that? Is it too early yet? This time of year is weird. On one hand, there's a feeling of community and togetherness in the air.On the other, there's a sense of mad rushing, crushing crowds, and urgency that just. keeps. pushing. It's one of the big reasons I'm not a fan of this thing called Black Friday. Aside from the fact that there's a sordid origin story to the phrase itself (look it up), there's something about the forced nature of the whole concept....
