🌴257. Birthday Replay: Leanne’s 12 Rules for Life (Weekend Rewind)

It’s my birthday! 🥳 To celebrate, I’m replaying the episode I recorded on my 40th—my 12 rules for life. These aren’t the glossy “melody” lines; they’re the bassline I keep returning to when life gets loud: from memento mori (yep, we’re all going to die—and that can be fuel), to finding a new pond when you feel like a fish out of water, meeting your heroes (sweaty palms and all), and remembering that true wealth is discretionary time. I share how I think, work, and decide—plus the one rule I won’t negotiate on.I also riff on pattern interrupts, permission slips, and why your clicks reveal your calling. Expect tuba talk, Tom Cruise stunts (metaphorically), a little constructive delusion, and practical ways to capture “double-click” moments so you can make better moves, faster. Listen, borrow what serves you, and—most importantly—write your own rules.Highlights you’ll hear:Memento mori as motivation (and how I plan decades vs. days)“Fish out of water? Find a new pond” (environment > willpower)Horizontal relationships: talk to everyone like a peerThere is no glass ceiling (and reframing impostor syndrome)Your clicks reveal your calling (follow your curiosity trail)Pattern interrupters that change your state in minutesPermission: how I get it (and give it) to move fasterFree time as the ultimate wealth—and how I design for itIf one rule lands, tell me which one—and what you’re going to do with it today.Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
