It's Not Your Fault...It's Your DEFAULT - with Tim Tamashiro

Tim Tamashiro is one of those rare souls who makes you want to slow down, take a breath, and actually feel your own heartbeat again.

This episode is a gentle exhale in the middle of all the noise. 

We talk about what it really takes to find peace in a world that feels like it’s always demanding more of you, how our brains are wired to keep us on edge (hello, tiny almond-shaped amygdala), and why letting go of suffering - even in the smallest moments - might just be the gateway to a happier life.

Tim doesn’t sugarcoat the hard stuff. He’s been through burnout, reinvention, and the “what now?” questions that keep you up at night. 

But the wisdom he shares feels like sitting on the couch with an old friend who sees you, gets you, and reminds you that you’re not broken...you’re just human.

This conversation is about giving yourself permission to pause. To soften. To find those little sparks of joy and clarity, even when life feels heavy. 

And most of all, to remember you’re not alone in the messiness of being human.

If your soul’s craving a deep breath today, this one’s for you. ❤️
