Summary
Are you so busy getting through your life that you're never fully present for it? We rush from one thing to the next, convinced that if we can just get ahead, clear the to-do list, or better optimize our time, we'll finally have space to enjoy the life we've worked so hard to build. But that moment never seems to come. In this conversation, I sit down with Oliver to unpack how we can rethink our relationship with time and be more intentional about where our attention goes. We talk about why high achievers feel perpetually behind, how our need for control fuels anxiety, and why accepting our limitations can actually be freeing. By the end of this conversation, you'll think differently about time and walk away with a more freeing way to pursue big goals while being present for the life you're living now.
