The Macro Mindset with Catharine Adams

Time Scarcity vs Time Abundance: Reframing Your Relationship with Self-Care (Ep. 1.17)

Episode Summary

Today we're tackling something that probably makes you laugh (or cry) - the myth of "finding time" for self-care. Through Jessica's story (just wait until you hear how this administrative assistant with three teenagers transformed her relationship with time!), I'll show you how shifting from "I don't have time" to "I have pockets of possibility" can change everything. Remember when Jessica was eating granola bars in her car between kid activities? That journey from time scarcity to time abundance is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down the psychology behind time perception and giving you practical tools to find time that's already there. Because here's what I believe - you don't need more time. You need to use your time differently.
