Are you constantly feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Always running from one thing to the next without stopping? Or maybe you look at your calendar and feel the busyness and wonder if this is “just how life will always be,” then this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving into one of our family roots of living an unhurried life and living life with margin. We talk about a recent experience where we slipped back into a hustle mentality and the things that opened our eyes to what was being sacrificed.
