Time is money, right? Only if you make it so. Time is something we use to make sense of change and chaos. Listen to this episode to learn more about how research defines different ways to orient oneself toward time. This episode includes some meaningful self-reflection on your own relationship with time and steps on changing it, if you'd like.

Conversations with people in our lives tend to shape what we think more than what we read, watch or even write about. That’s because, as social creatures, we need to learn from and with other people. This episode features a conversation with my friends, Leander Roth and Stas Schmiedt, who have worked on building wellness in their partnership in life and business for over a decade. Listen in as we discuss concepts and lived experiences of time, partnership, family and hope using decolonized understandings.
