We got too good, left alive, decay, decay

We got too good, too good, left alive, casserole, little fool for your soul

Life ain't always pretty but hey, it's pretty beautiful

I'm smiling from ear to ear because I'm super excited for this conversation that I'm about to have with Dr. Aditi Narukar and

and Eve Rodzki. Now I have them on because y'all are hosting a new podcast together that is called Time Out, A Fair Play Podcast. And I love that the focus of this podcast is about, I mean, from what I have gathered and podcasts evolve over time, but you really want to drive home the fact that time is so important and your time is valuable. So for the first thing I want to get into before we get into things like creativity and connecting with others,

and having fun and gratitude is that time truly is currency and it is the most valuable thing we have. So I would love for each of you to just speak to why that is so important to you.

Well, I will say that we've been taught Amy to give our most valuable currency away for free since we've been born. And I don't think I really realized that until my husband sets me a text 10 years ago that said I'm surprised you didn't get blueberries.

And that text is what started me on this journey, especially to get to Aditi and to have this podcast, but really it started with an understanding that my time was being eaten away by service others.

And so I felt 10 years ago when I had two kids, you can picture the scene. I had a breast pump and a diaper bag on the passenger seat of my car.

I gifts for a newborn baby to return in the back seat of my car. I just had my second son, Natalya, I had a client contract in my lap because I had opted out of the traditional workforce. Now I say we're forced out.

And in the midst of all this overwhelm, that's when I got the text from Seth saying, apparently I was the fulfiller of his smoothie needs as well.

And it started me on a breakdown. I call it blueberries breakdown. It really an understanding that I did not have the career marriage combo. I thought I was going to have.

And really an understanding the intersection of why comes down to this point of what we explore, which is that why is it that we're not allowed to be unavailable?

Why is it that especially for so many women that availability becomes our literally our identity.

And so we explore a lot this idea of the permission to be unavailable from our roles so that we can get time back for ourselves.

Well, and I was going to say even a title of one of your episodes is permission to be unavailable.

Right. Yes, exactly. So I feel like so many people women, especially you're going to go click on that and be like, Oh, yes, please.

Okay, teach me how to be unavailable and be okay with it.

And before we talk anymore, I want to do a little tiny roll call because Eve, you just started talking right away, but just so people can be familiar with voices.

But Eve, why don't you say your name with your voice and where you are zooming in from?

Hi, my name is Eve Rodzki. I am zooming in from LA, even though I grew up the single mom shout out to my mom Terry in New York City.

So I feel very much still by coastal least I was before the pandemic.
