Episode 002: Too Busy to Be Present?

Conversations with Jane Newman

Show Notes

How do we stay present when life is full of competing demands?

In this episode, Jane and Kass explore what it means to be intentional about where we put our time and energy, while accepting that we can't always be fully present for everyone and everything.

They talk about the many roles we carry, the pressure to do everything well, and why taking time for ourselves isn't selfish. Sometimes, creating space for ourselves is exactly what helps us show up as the people we want to be.
