Hello, and Welcome to Life Jugglers

By Jessy Plante

If you’re reading this, you’re likely exhausted. Not just “need a nap” exhausted, but systemically drained. You are simply doing too much.

I’ve spent the past ten years bouncing from doing too much to extended vacations. From my early days as a travelling winemaker to navigating self-employment in the Czech Republic with a half-finished house and a newborn, I have learned how to remain calm under pressure.

I’ve noticed a pattern. Life gets easier when we listen to one another. We live in a “Checking Compulsion Culture.” We check our phones. We check our social standing. We check our emails. We spend so much time checking everything that we hardly have time for anything else. We’ve replaced connection with observation.

The Listening Pandemic

We are currently in the middle of what I call the Listening Pandemic. We have thousands of “friends” and “followers” but no one to talk with. We talk at each other in a desperate attempt to feel validated, but because no one is actually listening, the validation we crave never sticks.

Trust builds when you feel heard. In contrast, fear builds when you feel ignored. When you feel ignored, your system stays on high alert because you feel alone in the universe. You become paranoid that everyone is out to sabotage you, when the truth is, no one cares about you. Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves to care about you.

The Shift: From Me to We

That is why I started Life Jugglers. I wanted to move away from “me-centric” technologies that define modern social media and towards products that make it easier for us to connect.

Everything I offer, from my one-on-one coaching, the products I affiliate myself with and the courses I offer are designed to do one thing: connect people to each other. I facilitate conversations that bypass the small talk no one cares about and focus on meaningful, collaborative conversations that connect us.

What to Expect

This site is a laboratory.

• The Life Jugglers Podcast: Where I meet up with people to talk about the impact they want to have on the world and the products they are building.
• The Coaching: I’m here to help you identify the noise in your life and replace it with stable, actionable plan.
• The Tools: Affiliated products that help you focus on the impact you want to have on the world.

Life is a juggle. The balls are in the air: what’s in it for me, what’s in it for you, and what’s in it for us. Sometimes, you’re going to ignore one of the balls. It happens, and when it does, the world will be sure to let you know. The goal is to make sure you have more than one ball in the air, because we are in this together.

Welcome to Life Jugglers. Let’s get to work.
