26. Whose Timeline Are You On?

Do you ever feel like you're racing against an invisible clock, always falling behind life's expectations? When my family moved back to the Midwest amidst the uncertainty of COVID, I found myself caught in a self-generated rat race, feeling the need to catch up. This mindset of 'being behind' is deeply rooted in comparison, especially in our digital age. In this episode, I share two critical reflection questions to help you break free from the constraints of others' timelines and embrace a life aligned with your own values. Discover the importance of intentional living and the power of gratitude as I explore how seasons change and how experimentation leads to a life that truly fits you. Let’s focus on what we have, rather than what we’re chasing, and find deep contentment in the present.
