If I took myself 10% less seriously, what might shift? | Softening, laughing, and letting life feel lighter

Most of us take ourselves far more seriously than we realize — tightening our shoulders, clenching our jaws, and carrying the weight of the world as if everything depends on us.

In this episode, Leah explores how loosening our grip opens creativity, connection, and emotional regulation. You’ll hear a playful personal reflection, insights from psychology and neuroscience about the power of laughter and play, and an invitation to experiment with softening just a little this week.

If you’ve been feeling tense, overwhelmed, or overly responsible lately, this one might be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
