Summary

Hey, hey, everyone! Today I welcome show writer, speaker, coach, and podcast host, Jen Pollock Michel for a very insightful (and much-needed) conversation about our love-hate relationship with our clocks and the anxiety it often brings to our lives. Be sure to listen to how Jen discusses a couple of truths she has landed on, including- “Time belongs not to us but to God.” “There is always enough time to do what God has planned.” Whew. So good but often so hard to live, am I right, friends?! She reminds us of the importance of living not in our timing or the timing of others but in having the courage to live in God’s timing for our lives. So much wisdom is found in what Jen discovered while writing her most recent book titled, In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace…. I promise you don’t want to miss out on this eye-opening conversation! Jen Pollock Michel holds a B.A. in French from Wheaton College, an M.A. in Literature from Northwestern University, and is working on completing an M.F.A from Seattle Pacific University. After eleven years of living in Toronto, Jen now lives in Cincinnati with her husband and two youngest children. Listen in to learn more about: What time anxiety is and how it plays out in our lives, whether we're trying to find time, save it, manage it, or make the most of it. Some of the assumptions we often have concerning time management and how we can ground our lives in God’s timing. The eight practical habits for reimagining productivity and how embracing those will help us develop a healthier relationship with the clock. Favorite quotes: “A faithful life is a courageous life. Tuning our ears to God’s voice takes a lot of courage.” “A practical place to start is to think about habits and practices of everyday life.” “There is not a right way. It is actually living every day in faithful response to God’s voice. ” Coaching this episode: The Secret to Habits Without the Hassle (27:00) Links to great things we discussed: Jen Pollock Michel - Website In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace By Jen Pollock Michel Counterproductive: Time Management in the Knowledge Economy By Melissa Gregg Glittering Vices: A New Look at the Seven Deadly Sins and Their Remedies By Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung The Bear Madmen L'Occitane Pure Shea Butter Atomic Habits By James Clear Avatar: The Way of Water I Thank God - Maverick City Music Join the Confident Motherhood Community here.

0:05.3	and called to do.
0:06.5	That rabbit trail of a seed has opened up, like, honestly, a world to me of being able to
0:13.4	identify a kind of hurry and urgency in my soul that is completely self-produced.
0:20.4	It is not God telling me to get these things
0:23.6	done. It's me running fast and furious after a life. I can make meaningful in some way.
0:32.3	Hey, hey, I'm Allie, and I believe that an emotionally healthy you is the greatest gift you can give yourself,

1:05.5	year with you. Did you like the new intro? I wanted to freshen the place up a little bit,
1:10.2	give our time together a little upgrade.
1:12.5	I think over the years in this show, we've slowly evolved from just wanting to learn something to having a real focus on our emotional health.
1:21.0	You know, it kind of happened naturally for us.
1:22.7	So I consider emotional health a combination of our mental health, our spiritual health, and our
1:28.9	relational health, or the health of our relationships. And we're going to dive in this year
1:33.8	even more in those topics. Now, today, we're learning a whole new way to think of productivity
1:39.4	and how we spend our time from my friend Jen, Pollitt, Michelle. And after we talk with Jen, it's time for coaching.
1:46.2	Another thing that we're changing up this year is instead of answering all different questions all
