As leaders, there is always more to do than we have the capacity for at any given moment. We face the endless pull of projects, responsibilities, and obligations for our attention. As a result, it's easy to feel like there is never enough time to do more of the things we love and feel called to do.
In this episode, Alana shares 3 things that can help you and those you lead, increase your capacity to do and enjoy those things.
When it comes to increasing our capacity to do more, it's not about doing more. It often comes down to knowing how to start doing less.
We'll need to make decisions about what to let go of or change so our energy and attention is spent on the things that will have the greatest impact for good on our results.
In this episode, as Alana shares her experience of what it took for her to increase her capacity to do what she loves and feels called to do, you'll hear about the lessons she learned. These lessons can help you make decisions about how to clear up your mental and physical clutter and increase your own capacity to do more of what you love and feel called to do.

Finding Fulfillment with Shelby Delgado - Ep. 68
Life doesn't always go as we plan. It can be hard to find fulfillment when we expect to be married, have children, own a home, or be at a specific stage in our vocations by a certain age, and despite our greatest efforts, it doesn't happen.
In this episode, Sione and Alana sit down with Shelby Delgado, the author of Single and Fulfilled: a Practical Guide to Finding Joy and Contentment in the Present. Shelby, who has been single her entire life, shares tips and principles that have helped her to find fulfillment in her life's circumstances. They talk about identity, loneliness, codependency, what not to say to our single friends, and more.
It is possible to find joy and fulfillment no matter our circumstances. And there are ways that we can empower those who are navigating the unexpected as well.
