Create More, Consume Less: The Leadership Rebellion We Need Right Now
Create More, Consume Less: The Leadership Rebellion We Need Right Now
My best advice as a coach right now—
Create more. Consume less.
Every day it feels like we wake up to a fresh, steaming pile of WTF?!
Gunfire. Greed. Gaslighting.
The next scandal. The next price hike. Another round of “us vs. them.”
Our nervous systems are fried from trying to keep up with the chaos.
Our souls are starving for something real.
My remedy?
Create more. Consume less.
Create more art.
Consume less reality television.
Create more thoughtful writing.
Consume less keyboard warrior drivel.
Create more music.
Consume less propaganda.
Create more movement.
Consume less manufactured competition.
Create more connection.
Consume less commentary.
Create more beauty.
Consume less bitterness.
Create more truth.
Consume less noise.
Because the world doesn’t heal when we doomscroll.
It heals when we participate.
When we make something instead of mocking something.
When we build instead of blame.
When we remember that creativity is resistance—
and joy is rebellion.
And me?
I’m walking my talk.
I’m working out like I just made varsity
Dancing like no one’s watching
Meeting new people like I’m searching for a best friend
Building in-person classes to strengthen my community
Planning travel simply because I want to
Looking at trees, and kids, and dogs, and clouds—just to see what I can see
Because presence is creation.
Because choosing wonder is an act of courage.
Because reclaiming joy is self-worth in motion.
Because this is what personal leadership looks like in a world on fire.
This is burnout recovery that doesn’t require disappearing from your life.
This is spiritual resilience in real time.
This is the high achiever mindset—redefined.
So, what does that look like for you?
A poem, a laugh, a walk, a conversation?
Whatever it is—
it’s better than what the rest of the world is doing.
The antidote to brokenness isn’t outrage.
It’s creation.
