332: Life is NOT an emergency
Since going back to work outside the home, I’ve noticed something: so many of folks live in constant emergency mode. They're rushing, panicking, and treating every single task like life or death. Like every single thing is something that has to be solved or done right now...
331: Priority isn’t plural

325: How Did We Get So… Soft?
In this episode, we’re talking about what we might have lost when comfort became our default. We’ll ask the hard questions about progress, ease, and if this whole "people are getting so soft" has always been the assumption, regardless of what generation we're in.

Comfort food means something different to everyone, but have you ever stopped to wonder why?
