Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴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 peer
- There is no glass ceiling (and reframing impostor syndrome)
- Your clicks reveal your calling (follow your curiosity trail)
- Pattern interrupters that change your state in minutes
- Permission: how I get it (and give it) to move faster
- Free time as the ultimate wealth—and how I design for it
If one rule lands, tell me which one—and what you’re going to do with it today.
