And the belief that you don't have time is exactly what's preventing you from the transformation you're seeking. I'm breaking down the neuroscience of \"story follows state,\" sharing my own time scarcity moments, and explaining why our beliefs about time are actually rooted in our nervous system programming—not reality. Key Points Understanding \"story follows state\" - how your nervous system state creates your beliefs about time Common time traps we fall into: \"there's never enough time,\" \"time is a thief,\" \"you'll miss this one day\" How stress states drive our scarcity beliefs around time versus ventral vagal (grounded) state beliefs Why saying \"I don't have time\" is really \"I'm not making time\" - and that's okay to acknowledge The distinction between seasons where something truly doesn't fit versus when it's a priority issue How writing a book taught me I can never say \"I don't have time\" again Why multitasking won't work for nervous system healing - you actually need to pay attention What will you wish you had made time for on your deathbed? Integration practices designed specifically for moms (not morning routines that don't work when you're sleep-deprived) When it's NOT a good time to join: deep postpartum, acute life transitions, major moves or illness Why I'm no longer spending time convincing women they have time - meeting you where you are Quotes \"Story follows state. The state that we are in our nervous system, in our body dictates the lens through which we see the world.\" \"When I slow down, time slows down.\" \"…","meta_description":"In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest barriers I hear from women about joining The School of Mom: \"I don't have time.\" Here's the truth that…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1766,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mothering-ourselves-mindfully-7036456/episodes/78-the-time-myth-why-mothers-don-t-find-time-they-learn-to-claim-it/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mothering-ourselves-mindfully-7036456/78-the-time-myth-why-mothers-don-t-find-time-they-learn-to-claim-it.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
