  • Season 11 Episode 2: Can You Juggle?
    Can you juggle your priorities...Decide which balls are glass and which are plastic.
    You can't keep all your balls in the air all the time but that's fine.
    JT and I discuss which to drop and which to keep in the air.
    When there are so many balls in the air each day, you have to accept that some are going to drop. You can’t keep all the balls in the air all the time so you have to be intentional about which balls to drop, instead of it just happening.
    Instead of focusing on the broad categories of work and family, you need to consider with more nuance which balls are glass, which are plastic, and focus on the glass ones.

  • Season 10 Episode 8: Bend, Don't Break
    "Bend, don't break" is a common phrase that means to be flexible and adaptable in the face of challenges or adversity, rather than rigid and inflexible. It implies that you can withstand the pressure or stress of difficult situations by being resilient and adjusting to the circumstances.
    This phrase is often used in contexts such as sports, business, and personal relationships to encourage people to be patient, persistent, and open to change. It's a reminder to stay calm, maintain a positive attitude, and be willing to bend or compromise when necessary, rather than stubbornly holding on to a particular course of action.
    In summary, "bend, don't break" is a powerful mindset that can help you navigate difficult times with greater ease and resilience, by being open to change and willing to adapt to new situations.
