Leadership anxiety is more complex than 'worry' and 'fear.'
It is a lava bubbling under the surface, ready to erupt.
Leadership anxiety is more complex than 'worry' and 'fear.'
It is a lava bubbling under the surface, ready to erupt.
When someone emails, 'we need to meet.'
When you're driven by control, perfection, approval or always being there for people.
When you keep running into yourself: your negative habits and tendencies.
When you struggle to shake criticism and wish you were thicker skinned.
When your inner critic speaks louder than the voice of God.
When work pressures and hurts stop you from being present at home.
When you make a mistake in public.
When you wonder how much longer you can go on in your vocation.
When someone violates your unspoken values.
When some of your team have their own meeting after the meeting.
When you're not sure how to address a staff member's chronic bad habits.
When you keep wondering, 'what were they thinking?'
When you find yourself triangled, in a double bind, a mixed message, or dozens of common anxiety generating dynamics.
When you see anxiety spread in a group, but don't know how to manage it.
When 'try harder' and 'more of the same' isn't helping.
I first learned these tools when I served as a trauma and hospice chaplain.
Every day I helped people navigate the worst moments of their lives, and I often helped people navigate death.
I was surprised to learn that if I really wanted to help them,
I had to pay attention to what was going on in me.
The key is learning to manage 4 spaces in our life.
The space inside me.
The space between me and another.
The space inside the other.
The space between others.
1600 hours of supervised Clinical Pastoral Education, a graduate degree, a deep dive into Systems Theory, a careful integration with Spiritual Formation, decades of organizational leadership and 10 years of teaching these tools to help leaders and parents.
We can help you too.
You can be a calm, aware, present human in the work place and home place.
You can experience the love, freedom and peace of God while leading and parenting.

How much time will this take?
Some people use Capable Life like a self paced class. They watch a 10 minute video each week, work the discussion and zooms. This approach takes anywhere from 20 – 60 minutes per week, including discussion and zooms.
Others use Capable Life like a reference library. They ‘pull a module off the shelf’ as situations arise, they join zooms only when they need.
I am not a leader or a pastor, will this benefit me?
Absolutely! Capable life has parents, business people, medical professionals, missionaries and pastors.
These tools were born from a theory called “Family Systems Theory” and can greatly benefit anyone who deals with home or work place dynamics.
Do I have to participate in the online discussion? and Zoom meetings?
No.
The online community and zoom are provided so that you can share and receive peer support. However, if you are uncomfortable for whatever reason to get involved you do not have to. Some of our participants choose a pseudonym username for anonymity.
I'd like a group of us to watch these. Can we all use one registration?
No. Capable Life is legally designed for a single use license per subscription. We have kept it affordable and we appreciate you respecting our intellectual property. You can contact admin@stevecusswords.com if you’d like a group to sign up or if you’d like to show a module one time in a larger setting and we will send you a quote.
I have tried so many things to overcome my anxiety, what makes this different?
It is common to spend years carrying triggers and pressures. This theory is not a magic bullet, but because it is relatively unknown and quite revolutionary in its approach, many people experience early breakthrough and relief. We have done the extra work of building a path of tools and concepts anyone can walk. Of course, what is also true is that after a couple of quick wins, the deeper, longer work is ahead to experience profound, long term change.
Does Capable Life replace therapy?
No.
Proper one on one or family therapy is a state licensed science. This program is an integration of psychological theory, change theory and theology. There are many situations (PTSD, G.A.D, Clinical Depression) that go beyond the scope of Capable Life. We help you manage anxiety that is generated from leadership and parenting challenges and pressures. We teach a model of ‘Systems Theory’ that can revolutionize your wellbeing, but we would not encourage you to see CL as a replacement for licensed therapy.
Is this a confidential space?
Capable Life takes the privacy of our members very seriously, as a result we do our best to ensure their privacy. All our tools and discussion forums are password protected and we utilize a web hosting provider who actively monitors the health and security of the site.
Some members, for their own reasons, choose a username that keeps their identity private.
What happens if I feel I need personalized 1:1 support?
We provide discounted coaching to CL members. Once you log in, you will see a menu item for coaching. You can submit a request for group or one on one coaching.
How will the content be delivered?
You will have a member dashboard of categories: video modules, zoom meetings, masterclasses, PDF downloads. The heart of CL is a series of video modules made up of brief videos 8 – 12 minutes each.
What kind of personal support can I expect?
You can receive support through submitting questions on our confidential forum, our monthly zoom meetings or reach out for additional private coaching.
What should I do if I find that a few months in and I am not getting the results that I expected?
Capable Life isn’t necessarily for everyone. Monthly members can cancel anytime. Annual members can cancel for a complete refund within 30 days of joining.
You cannot read or listen your way to transformation.You need intentional tools and a proven path that we offer in Capable Life.
