93. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late to Live Your Life

from Living Inspired - A Functional Approach to Women’s Health, Energy, and Resilience · host Rachel Carta, RN

This is not our usual conversation. We’re not talking about hormones, gut health, or trying to figure out what’s causing your symptoms.This is a pause.A moment to step out of the constant doing… and come back to what it actually means to be living.In this episode, I sit down with Billy Duke, a 55-year-old living with ALS, a progressive neurological disease that slowly takes away the body’s ability to move, while the mind remains fully aware.What he shares is simple, but powerful. A reminder that most of us are moving through life too quickly… waiting for the right time… putting things off… assuming we have more time than we do.This conversation isn’t about fear. It’s about clarity. About what actually matters when everything else is stripped away.As you listen, notice what comes up for you.What have you been putting off?Where have you been moving too fast?What matters most right now?This episode is an invitation to slow down, look up, and come back to your life.What we talk about:What ALS is and how it impacts the body over timeWhy we spend so much of our lives working and rushingThe quiet regrets that come from waiting too longThe importance of people, connection, and shared timeHow to slow down and actually experience your lifeSimple reminders to stop, notice, and be present🎧 Listen to more episodes like this: 100 Years of Wisdom🤍 Connect with me on Instagram@peaceinperimenopauseI’d love to hear from you.What stood out to you the most?
