Dr. Leslie Seppinni’s Excuse Free Living philosophy

Drawing on her own experience overcoming challenging circumstances including years in foster care, living on her own as a teenager and putting herself through school, Dr. Leslie has developed the “Excuse Free Living” philosophy for a successful life. The cornerstone of her experience as a psychotherapist and Crisis Intervention Specialist, this approach can be adopted by anyone to increase their chances of success in life regardless of their circumstances—just as she did. “Excuse Free Living” teaches how to manage emotions, put what’s perceived as past failures into perspective, and build on what’s already working in order to thrive.

Dr. Leslie’s approach helps people identify the problems that are creating the emotional crises in their lives --whether feelings are present that may be too painful or survival mechanisms in place that no longer work— and coaches people through the process of addressing the problems in order to move forward. With the “Excuse Free Living” philosophy, people can learn to define problems, set boundaries, communicate more effectively and find solutions to career, family, and spiritual dilemmas. 

There are four critical principles that are essential to celebrating an “Excuse FreeLife” that Dr. Leslie calls “The Four Cs”:

• Ccuriosity - Ccuriosity opens the door to possibility. It’s important to ask “What if?” and “What else?”
• Conviction - Conviction requires conscious thought and presence. People avoid making changes due to their fear of conflict; however, there is no such thing as a better life without change.
• Courage - Courage is the driving force of personal growth, better understanding, solid communication, and positive change.
• Commitment - By making a commitment to doing the work, people activate the potential for their reality to match their dreams.

When striving for any goal, it’s easier to make excuses about not making change, versus making the commitment to change. The “Excuse Free Living” philosophy teaches people how to cut out the drama and live a life of balance.

Remember: It’s not the size of the problem but the size of the feeling. Make it an Excuse Free Life!
