What is This Season Asking of You? (Ep. 142) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if, instead of asking yourself, “What should I be doing right now?” you asked, “What is this season asking of me?” In this episode, we’re talking about the uncomfortable (and surprisingly freeing) work of noticing what you actually need in the season you’re in—and letting that shape your goals, your schedule, and your priorities. Because sometimes the answer is rest. Sometimes it’s a push forward. Sometimes it’s leaning in here and creating space there. It’s less about managing your time pe
Are You a Victim to Your Time? (Ep. 141) (opens the original)

What if the problem isn't that you're too busy—but that you've become a victim to your time?

Read excerpt
We all want answers. But sometimes our desperate need to know— Is this working? Am I lazy? Should I stay or should I go? Am I doing enough? —has less to do with clarity and more to do with our discomfort with uncertainty. In this episode, we’re talking about all-or-nothing thinking and black-and-white thinking—and the ways it can show up in our lives disguised as discipline, grit, goodness, or simply “knowing what’s right.” I share some of my own struggle with this as an unapologetically “answer
