In this episode of the Career Gems for the Journey podcast, Leah C. Murphy, CEO of Career Gems for the Journey, breaks down one of the biggest mistakes professionals are making with artificial intelligence… using it like a search engine instead of a strategic tool. Leah dives into the growing pressure around AI adoption, the fear of being left behind, and the risks of blindly trusting every AI trend or headline online. She also shares why professionals still have time to upskill, why companies are still figuring AI out themselves, and how to use AI in a more intentional and secure way both personally and professionally. In this episode, Leah talks about:

Modern life has become a gauntlet of "dangerous weather" that frequently strips away our most basic human needs.In this episode, Emily speaks with author and strategist Stephanie Malia Kraus about her book, How We Thrive, and the essential practice of "rehumaning." Stephanie breaks down the four systemic forces, from hustle culture to addictive tech, that undermine our well-being and offers a roadmap for reclaiming play, wonder, and rest. The discussion bridges the gap between ancient Hawaiian wayfinding and modern neuroscience, highlighting the critical importance of restorative "downstates" and simple regulation tools for navigating an increasingly overstimulated world.Listen and Learn:How the Hawaiian tradition of Wayfinding teaches us to navigate a world that has "shifted on its axis" by anchoring into timeless human essentials, and influenced Stephanie's bookWhy the friction you feel in parenting isn't a personal failure, but a biological mismatch between our human nature and modern society Recognizing the four universal forces: Overtapped, Overworked, Overstimulated, and Overwrought, and understanding why feeling depleted isn't a personal failure, but a natural response to the "stormy" conditions of modern living Why our modern "social jet lag", the mismatch between our hectic schedules and our biological needs, is fueling a youth mental health crisis, and how reclaiming "human essentials" like sleep, play, and internal attunement can act as a biological superpower for both parents and teens How the practices of celebrating small wins, contributing to others, and nurturing an inborn sense of belief act as biological shields that restore our dignity and spark a protective sense of hope even in the most difficult seasons of life How "lemon squeezes", a simple technique of tensing and releasing your muscles for 20 seconds, uses the science of progressive muscle relaxation to signal safety to your nervous system and bring your body back into balance in less than a minute Resources:How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781071957561 https://rehumaningourlives.substack.com/https://www.rehumaning.com/Connect with Stephanie on Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@StephanieMaliaKrausshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemaliakrauss/https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemaliakrauss/ About Stephanie Malia KraussStephanie Malia Krauss is an author, speaker, and strategist focused on rehumaning childhood and our lives.

In this exciting episode of your favorite anime podcast, the crew is joined once again by their friend Overworked Salaryman as they discuss a peculiar trend Mumi has been noticing lately. From online discourse to comiket doujin circles, there are less and less anime properties being represented. Are gacha games and vtubers responsible for the decline of anime? Only one way to find out!

Anime's dirty little secret just went mega-viral -- a first-year Japanese animator dropped his actual pay stub proving he scraped together a pathetic $4,520 for the entire year, averaging around $380 a month after grinding per-frame piecework that left him below poverty line in Tokyo. Yeah the same industry pumping out billion-dollar hits like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer is still treating rookies like disposable cogs while veterans warn "it gets better" after year one -- except most burn out before that because 60k yen monthly doesn't even cover rent and cup noodles.

Send Katie a Text Message!! If you've been feeling stretched thin and thinking, “I just need to hire another designer,” this episode might shift everything for you. I'm breaking down why hiring an assistant designer is often not the solution you think it is—and what's actually keeping you overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in your business.IN THIS EPISODE:Why hiring an assistant designer often doesn't solve overwhelmThe difference between task support and true decision ownershipHow being the bottleneck is really what's draining your timeThe most common hiring mistake I see interior designers makeThe roles you should consider hiring before another designerHow to identify what your business actually needs nextI see this pattern constantly—designers assume they need more help doing the work, when what they actually need is support running the business. If everything still flows through you, adding another designer won't give you your time back. It just adds more moving pieces to manage.This episode will help you rethink how you hire so you can finally create real capacity instead of just shifting the overwhelm.Connect with KatieLinkedInBusiness Strategy Sessions for Interior Designers Free Resources for scaling your interior design firmWebsite

RSAC: Retiring "APT," FCC's US-Made Router Ban, Zoom Call Scraping, Iran-Targeting Wiper, and Cyber Terrorism Insurance From RSAC 2026, host David Shipley highlights ESET researcher Robert Lipowsky's argument to retire the overused "advanced persistent threat" label and instead describe actors by motivation and activity, noting blurred lines between nation-state and criminal tooling. He also reports RSAC vendor trends (zero trust fading, "agentic AI" everywhere) and standout booth themes. In Washington, the FCC bans authorization of any new Wi‑Fi router models not made in the United States, citing supply-chain risk and attacks like Volt Flax and Salt Typhoon, impacting an industry largely manufacturing abroad unless exemptions are granted with plans to reshore. The episode details Webinar TV allegedly joining public Zoom links to record calls and publish AI-generated podcast recaps, and a Kubernetes-targeting campaign linked to the Trivy supply-chain attack that deploys an Iran-checking wiper. Finally, Treasury seeks comments on expanding the terrorism risk insurance backstop (TRIP) to cover cyber losses.

President Trump has deployed hundreds of ICE agents to major U.S. airports to help overwhelmed TSA officers amid long security lines caused by the partial government shutdown. When asked whose idea it was, Trump proudly declared: “Mine." Democrats quickly fired back. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) held a press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport and said: “The message today is: Fund the TSA and get ICE out." Other Democrats echoed the criticism, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) warning that “untrained ICE agents” at checkpoints put travelers at risk and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) saying that “masked, armed police at travel checkpoints is a hallmark of dystopian movies" that creates chaos for political leverage. What do you think — smart move to keep airports moving, or reckless political stunt? Drop your thoughts below.

But as the studio grows, the owner's role needs to evolve too.In this solo episode, Michael Jay shares a simple exercise he uses with community yoga studio owners to help them understand exactly what work is happening inside their business before they hire help.The process starts by documenting every task happening inside the yoga studio for one full week. From there, those tasks are organized into categories like marketing, administration, operations, and community building.Once everything is visible, it becomes much easier to see what the owner should keep doing, what should be delegated, and what tasks could even be outsourced.For many community yoga studio owners, this exercise reveals the exact role the studio needs next — whether that's an assistant manager, an operations administrator, or project-based support.When the right people are handling the right work, the owner can focus on leadership, marketing, and strengthening the community inside the yoga studio.If you're feeling stretched running your community yoga studio, this episode offers a simple framework to bring clarity, build support, and move the business forward.⸻In This EpisodeHow to document everything happening inside your community yoga studio in just one weekWhy most yoga studio owners underestimate how many operational tasks they are actually doingHow to organize studio work into clear business bucketsHow to decide what the community yoga studio owner should keep doingHow to turn your task list into a real job descriptionWhen outsourcing small projects makes more sense than hiringWhy every role in a community yoga studio should help move the business forward⸻“Most community yoga studio owners don't need to work harder.

☎️ Schedule a Business Evaluation Call with The Construction Leading Edge Team HERE – EPISODE 433: Construction business owner buried in reactive mode, watching your business grow while your stress grows with it? Working 60+ hour weeks, stressed about profit, team management, and scaling your construction company… and still feeling behind? If that hits a little too close to home, this episode is for you. Most construction business owners who feel overwhelmed assume they need more people, better software, or tighter time management. But that's rarely the issue. What's really happening is that you've outgrown the current design of your business, and more effort will only increase stress instead of freedom. In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I break down the five decisions that determine whether growth creates real freedom or a larger, more chaotic operation. I talk about eliminating root cause problems, designing around results, and systematizing your construction business so you stop being the bottleneck. You don't need to work harder. What got you here won't get you there. If you want to scale, it's time to redesign the system.

A year ago, I stopped. I stopped doing one of the things I loved the most. I stopped because I was overwhelmed. I stopped because I was chronically burnt out. I stopped because I started doubting my purpose. It felt like a wise and mature decision at the time. Maybe it was But what I slowly began to realize was that I stopped doing the thing that, when it came to my work, was one of the most life-giving. Now, it's back. But better. For ten years, I've loved talking about the PIES because it changed my life. I was depressed. Stuck. Anxious. Overworked. My marriage was in shambles. I had no friends. I felt lost. The PIES method allowed me to focus on becoming my best physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and focusing on what I could control. Me. And it changed my focus. It changed my energy. It changed me. And over the past year, as I've finished my PhD (freaking finally!) I've realized that the PIES is even more powerful than I originally thought. We're going to be talking about confidence, clarity, influence, and how what you do impacts the way you show up to those around you... ...and we're going to be doing it together with a new podcast, new title, and new content.Same PIES. Revamped. Reimagined. Redefined. Can't wait to go along this journey with you. Stay strong, Dr. Kimberly I'm Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes.

You're Not Overworked — You're Doing the Wrong WorkFemale emPOWERED Podcast with Christa GurkaIf you feel exhausted, behind, and busy all day but somehow not moving forward, this episode is for you.In this episode of the Female emPOWERED Podcast, Christa Gurka breaks down the real reason so many boutique fitness, Pilates, and private-pay PT owners feel burned out — and it's not because you're lazy, bad at business, or not working hard enough.You're overworked because you're doing work that no longer belongs to you.This episode is a mindset shift and a practical wake-up call for owner-operators who are stuck in the weeds, micromanaging their teams, avoiding delegation, and confusing “busy” with actual progress.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why working harder isn't the answer — and why working higher isThe difference between operator work vs. true CEO workHow micromanaging your team is quietly stalling your growthWhy avoiding delegation trains your team not to thinkThe hidden cost of being the bottleneck in your own businessHow “fake CEO work” (busywork) keeps you stuckWhere boutique fitness and PT owners waste the most energyWhy systems, structure, and financial clarity matter more than motivationThe 5 core responsibilities of a CEO in a boutique service businessHow to reclaim 5–10 hours a week without working longer daysThe 5 Core Responsibilities of a True CEO:If you're working outside of these five areas most of the time, that's why you feel busy but not productive:Vision & Direction – Where the business is going and whyFinancial Oversight – Understanding revenue, profit, capacity, and pricingLeadership – Right people, right seats, clear expectationsSystems & Structure – Designing processes (not running them)Strategic Growth Decisions – When to hire, expand, cut, or say noAnswering emails, fixing schedule issues, running the front desk, and rescuing staff are not CEO work.If This Sounds Like You…You're still client-facing more than 50% of the timeYou approve every decisionStaff come to you instead of following systemsYou “just do it yourself because it's faster”You're busy all day but unsure what actually moved the needle…this episode will hit home.Key Takeaway:You don't need another planner, another framework, or more hustle.You need intentional structure, clearer delegation, and the courage to step out of the minutiae and into leadership — on purpose.You don't need to work harder. You need to work higher.

Imagine trading the stress of an "overworked prisoner" CFO role for the freedom of a boutique tax firm—with time for family, music, and travel. That's the transformation Terri Peters, founder of Tax Time Ledgers, made in just three years. Once overworked, undervalued, and stuck in scarcity, Terri took a leap from corporate security to build her own practice. In this deep dive, we revisit her turning point—choosing to invest in herself and stop making someone else's money. Learn how she went from charging $500 per month to confidently enrolling $2,500–$3,500 concierge clients by building a values-aligned foundation and authentic sales process—without leading with marketing. If you're a firm owner stuck on the same treadmill, Terri's journey from scarcity to abundance shows that freedom comes from owning your value.

Dr. Guy Winch explains why we must treat emotional injuries with the same urgency as physical ones. "We ruminate, we beat ourselves up, we criticize ourselves, we think we're weak… and we end up compounding the emotional injury." He introduces the idea of "emotional first aid" and why we need a psychological toolbox to stop that downward spiral. Guy breaks down the difference between how we respond to physical pain versus emotional pain. "We go to the medicine cabinet for a physical injury, but we have no cabinet for emotional injuries." He explains why we must learn emotional hygiene: "The injuries don't just go away." We also discuss how emotional neglect works and the long-term consequences of unacknowledged wounds. "The mind does not heal itself. The mind broods." Finally, Guy offers a new model for how to respond when people open up to you emotionally. "Start with compassion. You can offer logic later." Key Insights: Insight 1: "We ruminate, we beat ourselves up, we criticize ourselves, we think we're weak… and we end up compounding the emotional injury." This explains why emotional pain often intensifies over time without care — because we engage in harmful self-dialogue instead of healing practices. Insight 2: "The mind does not heal itself. The mind broods." Guy challenges the myth that emotional wounds naturally heal. Without intervention, the mind tends to replay and deepen the pain. Insight 3: "We go to the medicine cabinet for a physical injury, but we have no cabinet for emotional injuries." He contrasts our well-established responses to physical pain with the absence of tools for emotional distress — and why this gap needs to be closed. Insight 4: "Emotional hygiene is about treating those injuries when they occur and trying to prevent them in the first place." He introduces emotional hygiene as a proactive and reactive strategy, just like physical hygiene protects against illness and injury. Insight 5: "Start with compassion. You can offer logic later." This is a clear framework for responding to others in distress — showing why empathy should precede problem-solving. Action Items: "Start with compassion. You can offer logic later." Use this sequence when someone shares emotional pain. "The first step is to recognize the injury for what it is." Acknowledge when you've been emotionally hurt. Label it. "Would I say this to a friend? If the answer is no, then don't say it to yourself." A reframe technique to interrupt self-criticism. "You don't take one antibiotic and stop. You have to do the course. It's the same with emotional first aid." Practice emotional tools consistently, not just once. "Rumination is like a psychological infection. And so what you need to do is stop the infection from spreading." Interrupt rumination cycles early. "You have to override your own instinct." Emotionally healthy responses often require pushing against our natural urges to withdraw or self-blame.

“I feel like I have a suitcase of responsibilities chained to my ankle that I drag around everywhere.” When a client shared this with Jackie, it perfectly captured what so many high-achieving women silently carry. In this episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, Jackie explores the identity shift required to move from overworked and over-responsible… to supported, wealthy, and in flow. This episode is for the woman who: Has built something meaningful Is highly capable and deeply responsible Feels anxiety in her chest, neck, shoulders, or arms Is tired of managing her life instead of enjoying it You're not anxious because you don't know what you're doing. You're anxious because you learned how to carry too much — often from a season of past scarcity. Scarcity with money.Scarcity with support.Scarcity where doing it yourself felt like the only safe option. Even now, when life looks good, your nervous system still asks: “What if it goes away?”“What if I let go and everything falls apart?” Jackie shares why traditional productivity advice doesn't solve this pattern — and how the real shift comes from changing your state and identity, not your to-do list. Referencing insights from Tony Robbins, Jackie explains: “Your state determines your story.” If your body is living in stress, control, and responsibility, no amount of mindset work will help you enjoy your life. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why overworking is rooted in identity, not ambition How past scarcity keeps high-achieving women in survival mode Why responsibility gets stored in the body The difference between calming anxiety and releasing the identity behind it How tapping changes your state and affirmations change your identity What it means to move from management mode into self-energy Why miracles happen when the body feels safe to receive The Core Shift This episode introduces the powerful reframe: You are not “just this way.”You are not “just the responsible one.” That identity helped you survive and succeed. But it is not who you truly are. Inside Jackie's work — and especially inside the upcoming 21 Days of Tapping & Affirmations — you don't just calm anxiety. You release the identity that learned to carry everything alone. From Overworked to Wildly Wealthy Wildly wealthy isn't about doing more. It's about: Shoulders softening Breath deepening Delegating without panic Taking time off without anxiety Living inside your life instead of managing it When your nervous system no longer believes everything depends on you, you move into flow. And that's where miracles begin. Join the 21 Days of Tapping & Affirmations This March, Jackie is guiding high-achieving women through 21 days of identity-level tapping and affirmations to: Release past scarcity Put down the weight of responsibility Stop overworking Step into the Wildly Wealthy Woman identity If this episode felt like it was speaking directly to you, this experience was made for you.

You can be successful — and still feel exhausted. In this episode, we break down why so many high-producing agents feel overworked even when their income is strong, their clients are happy, and their business is growing. This isn't a motivation problem. It's a structural one. We cover: • Why excellence often creates overload • How competence quietly turns into dependency • Why overwork isn't caused by volume • The real reason great agents say “yes” too often • Why “once things slow down” never actually happens • How listings reduce chaos and consolidate effort • The systems and structures that eliminate chronic overwork If you feel constantly busy, reactive, and stretched — this episode will help you see exactly what needs to change. Because burnout isn't caused by laziness. It's caused by unsupported excellence.

Work has never been busier — yet progress often feels elusive. Eric Martin, executive director of Blue Pinnacle Solutions, joins host Nicole Belyna, SHRM-SCP, to unpack why meetings, hidden work, and outdated productivity norms are draining organizational capacity. Together, they explore how reclaiming capacity supports agility, focus, and performance — and what HR leaders can do to move from measuring activity to driving impact.  This podcast is approved for .5 PDCs toward SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP recertification.

In this episode, we dive into what it really means to reset your nervous system and how stress shows up in both our bodies and our minds. We talk about how modern life, constant noise, distractions, and never-ending demands, can keep us stuck in chronic stress, often without even realizing it. We share someof the physical and emotional signs we've noticed in ourselves and others, and why a nervous system reset isn't a one-and-done thing, but more of a slow, ongoing process of unwinding and healing. We also get into the basics of how the nervous system works, breaking down the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems in a way that actually makes sense. Along the way, we share personal stories and practical, doable tools, like breathing, gentle movement, and mindfulness, that you can try in real life.Overall, this episode is about building awareness, prioritizing self-care, and figuring out what helps you feel more grounded and supported.Products Mentioned: Kodiak Pancake Mix, Gluten Free

As the number of elderly Oregonians surpasses the number of children, demand for long-term care is rising.

David Madland of the Center for American Progress explains how these boards work, where they've already been implemented, and how they could help stabilize Oregon's long-term care workforce.

Top Stories for September 9th Publish Date: September 9th PRE-ROLL: From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 9th and Happy Birthday to Ottis Redding I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Stone Mountain Park's Pumpkin Festival returns with all-new glow-in-the-dark attractions Gwinnett Democrats blast federal, state leaders over raid at Hyundai-LG plant Buford Dam Road temporarily closing near Lake Lanier on Sept. 11 All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Stone Mountain Park's Pumpkin Festival returns with all-new glow-in-the-dark attractions Stone Mountain Park is about to feel like a storybook come to life. Starting Sept. 13, the Pumpkin Festival: Play by Day, Glow by Night is back—and it’s bigger, brighter, and, honestly, a little more magical this year. At night, the park transforms. Picture this: Cinderella floating through the air in a sparkling gown, lighting up a massive pumpkin tree. Then there’s the glow-in-the-dark pumpkin parade—floats, fairy tale characters, and a dance party you can’t help but join. Oh, and the grand finale? The World’s Largest Pumpkin Drone & Light Show, complete with fireworks. By day, it’s all about family fun—rides, glowing pumpkins, and even mini-golf. This runs through Nov. 2. STORY 2: Gwinnett Democrats blast federal, state leaders over raid at Hyundai-LG plant Gwinnett County leaders didn’t hold back Friday, slamming federal and state officials over a massive immigration raid at the Hyundai-LG plant in Bryan County. Nearly 475 workers—many South Korean nationals—were arrested, sparking outrage in Georgia’s largest Korean-American community. Federal agents called it a criminal investigation, not an immigration raid, but the fallout is undeniable. STORY 3: Buford Dam Road temporarily closing near Lake Lanier on Sept. 11 Heads up, drivers—Buford Dam Road near Lake Lanier’s southern end is shutting down for a day. On Sept. 11, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will close the road to patch potholes, fix guardrails, and handle some tree work. If you’re in the area, plan to detour via State Route 20. Oh, and heads up—parks along the road, like Buford Dam Park and West Bank Park, will also be closed. It’s just one day, but still, maybe pack a little extra patience. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNET FAIR STORY 4: Many Georgia teachers say they are overworked, underpaid and exposed to violence  Georgia’s teachers are burned out. Overworked, underpaid, and dealing with everything from disruptive classrooms to outright violence, many are questioning how much longer they can stay. A new survey from the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) paints a grim picture: two-thirds of educators feel exhausted, and a quarter report severe teacher shortages at their schools. Even worse? 8% say they’ve been physically assaulted by students—double that for special education staff. Low pay, second jobs, and unpaid college debt only add to the stress. Something’s gotta give. STORY 5: Buford Corn Maze opens Saturday Fall’s not officially here yet, but the Buford Corn Maze is already gearing up for its 17th season of autumn fun—and honestly, who’s complaining? The Maze started Saturday, the 32-acre farm on Bennett Road is bringing back all the classics: the corn maze (of course), pumpkin patch, hayrides, pony rides, and the Kid’s Corner. Oh, and don’t forget the Haunted Forest—it opens Sept. 26 with this year’s theme, “Into the Twisted Hollow.” Spooky, right? New this year? Expanded animal encounters, carnival games, and a bigger kids’ play area. Tickets? Online or at the gate. STORY 6: ART BEAT: Lionheart Theatre returns all-female cast production of 'Radio T.B.S. Trailer Park Broadcasting Scandals' “Radio T.B.S.” is a fan favorite, so of course it’s part of Lionheart’s 25th Anniversary Season. Running Sept. 12–28, this all-female comedy stars longtime anchors Debbie McLaughlin and Tanya Gilmer, who’ve been with the show since its first run. Set in the Luna Del Mar Manufactured Home Oasis (aka “The Penicillin Capital of Central Florida”), the play follows radio hosts Vesta Poteet and Dixie Mandrell as they dish on everything from the Miss Manatee Contest to a “Jesus and Elvis” tribute. Oh, and those “Gone with the Wind” collector plates? Scarlett O’Hara looks suspiciously like Ernest Borgnine. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with matinees on Sundays and Sept. 27. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, students, and military. Complimentary desserts at intermission—yes, really. Get tickets at lionhearttheatre.org or call 404-919-4022. But hurry—this one sells out fast. STORY 7: Suwanee wants tax rate to stay the same as past 13 years Suwanee residents, get ready to possibly see a familiar number on your property tax bill this fall. The City Council just voted to tentatively keep the millage rate at 4.93 mills—the same rate it’s been for 13 years. But here’s the catch: it’s slightly above the rollback rate, meaning a 3.88% tax increase is coming your way. Why? The city’s $20.8 million budget for FY 2026, which kicked off July 1, needs funding. It’s 7.8% bigger than last year’s and includes five new full-time positions, $650,000 for landscaping, and $606,000 for capital projects. Public hearings? Sept. 11 and Sept. 23. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break 4: Ingles Markets Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

I'm so excited to bring you this special podcast.  We have three bonus podcasts for you during the three days of the Back 2 Basics Challenge.  The transition back to school can be challenging in itself, but when you have a strong-willed child it can feel impossible.  Simple tasks like getting up and getting to school on time can feel like a battle and turn every day into chaos.  It's hard to be a patient parent in those stressful situations, but that is exactly why I wanted to welcome back our guest, Michelle McVittie.  Michelle and I connected when we both spoke at the Busy Mom's Blueprint Summit.  Michelle McVittie is a child life specialist and parenting coach with over two decades of experience in pediatric medical and mental health. She is the author of “I Quit!

What if I told you that a few small shifts could give you back hours of your week—without working faster, sacrificing sleep, or giving up the things you love? Since becoming a mom—twice now—I've realized just how precious time really is. But here's the thing: we all get the same 24 hours in a day. The difference? How we choose to spend them. When this episode originally aired, my youngest wasn't even a year old, and I was deep in the season of figuring out how to maximize my time while juggling all the things. And while life looks a little different now, these six simple habits still ring true. So whether you're feeling stretched thin or just looking for ways to make your days feel more spacious, press play!
