The Urgency Trap

In this solo episode, I’m talking about patience, and really, about rushing.Rather than focus on time management conversation, I'm taking a look at what happens in our bodies and nervous systems when we move through life with constant urgency, and how impatience can show us where we feel out of control, overstimulated, or overly attached to productivity.I share what I’ve been noticing in my own life, from parenting and waiting in lines to endurance racing, phones, AI, and the scratchy feeling of wanting things to happen faster than they can.The good news is that patience is trainable. It’s a skill that helps us stay present with discomfort, delay, uncertainty, and the slow parts of growth.Next week, we’ll practice building patience in real time with a Mindfulness in Action episode.--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
