I’m talking about what I’ve been thinking about lately—slowing down, asking for help, and unlearning the habit of rushing through everything. I share reflections from No Mud, No Lotus by Thich Nhat Hanh, prioritizing a few moments of reading, and how the idea of the “second arrow” has helped me relate to anxiety with more compassion. Mostly, this episode is a reminder (for me and for you) that we don’t need to hurry through our lives to be worthy, productive, or strong.
