Summary

Today we are talking about something I know so many of us feel on a day to day basis – and that’s feeling like there’s just never enough time in the day. Am I right or am I right?

Between work, workouts, meals, family, errands, and a to-do list that feels like it never ends… it can feel like there’s no possible way to get it all done. And listen—I’ve been there, too. There have absolutely been seasons where I’ve told myself, “If I just had a few more hours in my day, I could finally stay on top of everything.”

But here’s what I’ve learned: it’s not always about how much time we have—it’s about how we’re using the time we do have.

What I discuss:

Why feeling overwhelmed by time often comes down to how we’re structuring our days
The simple but powerful difference between being busy and being productive
How to identify where your time is actually going
And most importantly—practical ideas and tips to be more mindful and intentional with your time each day
