Today's episode topic was sparked by a piece of content Maggie came across earlier this week and it got us thinking. Why do so many of us live life on autopilot? Why do we so easily go through the motions?

We can both admit, we've experienced seasons of our life where we were completely on autopilot, just going through the motions. In the moment, we didn't realize it. I don't think anyone really does. But, as we have grown (and we still very much working to grow more), we can look back and see that there were a lot of times in our lives that we weren't very present.

We just went through the motions, did what was familiar / comfortable.. etc. But, where did that lead us? Better question is what value did that bring us?

Not only are we living this "Against The Grain" lifestyle now, but we are living with so much more intention and focus. For us though, the question becomes "How can we get others to get off autopilot, and encourage them to start living with more intention?"

In our episode today, we actually get into a great conversation about concepts you can start doing TODAY in order to help you in this area. One thing we both can admit is that living life with more intention is SO MUCH better than living on autopilot. It slows things down for us. It allows us to enjoy more experiences and create more memories.

We hope you get a lot out of today's episode but we also hope you TAKE ACTION as well!

You can live the life you want to live! It's going to require you to go against the grain in some ways, but that is truly living!

Thanks for all the support and we hope you enjoy today's episode!
