51 days.

That’s how long the too-small sweater sat in my trunk before I finally made the return.

In this episode, I’m talking about the mundane tasks we avoid — the returns, the laundry, the mail, the subscriptions we never cancel — and why they take up way more space in our bodies and nervous systems than we realize.

For years, I told myself these tasks were beneath me. That I had more important things to focus on. That I would do them tomorrow. But what I’ve come to understand in this phase of life is that it was never about time or discipline — it was about capacity.

Unfinished tasks aren’t just clutter or procrastination. They’re unfinished business. They hum in the background. They quietly drain our energy. And over time, they contribute to anxiety, overwhelm, and that constant feeling that we’re behind in our own lives.

In this episode, I explore:

• Why “easy” tasks can feel harder than big goals
• How unfinished business affects your energy and nervous system
• The difference between forcing productivity and building real capacity
• Why completing small, mundane tasks can actually free up space for the life you want

This isn’t about fixing yourself or turning into someone you’re not (like June Cleaver). It’s about listening to what your system actually needs — and discovering that the answers might be smaller, quieter, and closer than you think.

✨ I’m also writing more about this idea over on Substack — including an essay about how much I hate making returns.

If this episode resonated — if you felt it in your bones — I’d be so grateful if you left a review. I read every single one, and they truly mean more than you know.

Thanks for being here. I’ll see you in the next phase.
