Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴328. What Nepal taught me about control, chaos and capacity
I recorded this one from my favourite cafe in Kathmandu (Rise and Grind Coffeee) on my last day in the city. Same table, same first-day coffee spot, but a very different version of me sitting here. This trip has pushed every limit I thought I had and exposed all the places where I cling too tightly to certainty, control, comfort and pace.
I share four lessons from the last couple of weeks:
- Loosen the straps. Literally and mentally. I’ve learnt I grip too hard to outcomes and timelines, and Nepal doesn’t care about any of that.
- That which can be planned is too small. YouTube, blogs, even this podcast barely scratch the surface of the real thing.
- Don’t escape-room the hard stuff. The only way through the rough days was to face them. No shortcuts.
- Always expect five extra steps. Nothing is linear here, and that unpredictability builds range, resilience and sharper awareness.
Key takeaway: The world works on its own schedule, and the sooner you stop fighting that, the more interesting your life gets.
