We all say we’re “busy.” But busy doesn’t always mean fulfilled. In this episode, I’m reflecting on key themes from The Happier Hour by Cassie Holmes and sharing three practical ways to get your time back without waking up earlier, doing more, or overhauling your entire life. This conversation is about shifting how we experience our hours, not just how we fill them.

We’ll talk about:

• Why disorganization quietly drains your energy
• How distractions steal more than just minutes, they steal momentum
• Why doing the most important, time-sensitive thing first can change how your entire day feels This isn’t about productivity for productivity’s sake.

It’s about alignment, attention, and making space for what actually matters, inside the life you’re already living. If you’ve ever ended the day feeling exhausted but unsure why… or productive but disconnected… this episode is an invitation to slow down, get intentional, and start reclaiming your hours, one decision at a time.

As we enter a new year, it’s easy to focus on what we want to achieve, especially when it comes to fitness. But before chasing another goal, plan, or program, clarity has to come first.

In this solo episode, I share personal stories and hard-earned lessons around the three biggest barriers that keep people stuck in their wellness journey: chasing outcomes without clarity, all-or-nothing thinking, and pursuing borrowed goals that don’t fit their current season of life.

This conversation is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your “why”—so your fitness goals support not just how you look, but how you live.
