0:00.0	I have a question. Do you ever feel behind? Do you ever look around at your life and just think,
0:05.6	well, this is not where I thought I would be? Do you ever look at your friends' lives or the lives of
0:10.4	your peers and see all that they've achieved or all that they're doing and think, is something
0:15.0	wrong with me? Like, why am I not where I thought I would be? If you've ever felt any of those things,
0:19.9	if you've ever felt rushed or hurried to achieve all the dreams and reach all the goals and do all
0:25.2	the things by the time you're 30 or by next year or by a certain deadline that may be somewhat arbitrary,
0:32.4	perhaps that you've made up or that you feel like society has put on you or that others are living up
0:37.4	to and you're just not. That can really trigger a feeling of running out of time and behind.
0:44.0	All that really does is make us live more rushed. It makes us live more hurried. It makes us more
0:50.3	discontent. And so as much as I want to say, I've never experienced that, I would be lying if I

1:11.6	like you are. So let's take you to this one. You're listening to She with Jordan Lee Dooley,
1:20.4	a personal development podcast for the everyday woman. Come invited, leave ignited. Here's your host,
1:27.9	Jordan Lee Dooley. So this is my open letter to the woman who feels behind who feels like she's
1:44.4	running out of time or like she has to do everything right now and has to achieve everything and
1:49.4	hit every goal and reach every milestone all in the next year or something's going to crash and burn.
1:55.3	So I want you to remember that it doesn't all have to be done right now. You do have time.
2:01.5	And I know there's the argument of like, well, we're not promised tomorrow. This could be my last
2:06.4	day. You never know, of course. But if you live with that mindset and you just feel like you've got
2:11.1	a cram everything in today, today's not going to be very pleasant. Today's not going to be a day that
