Summary

In today’s episode, I share insights from a recent meetup in Chicago where we explored why so many people feel stuck in repetitive cycles and how to break free. From rethinking time as a construct to applying prioritization as an antidote to overwhelm, we discussed practical strategies for progress in personal and professional life. I also shared stories about redefining relationships, asking for help, and using daily non-negotiables to harmonize competing priorities. Whether it’s leveraging structured habits as a superpower, learning to apply your "why," or embracing abundance over overwhelm, this conversation is packed with actionable steps to create meaningful change in your life.
