"I should be further along by now" is a common thought that can weigh us down with unnecessary regret.

In this week’s episode of Happy Without Medicine, I’m reframing the idea of "wasted time."

We often judge our past selves for seasons that weren't wasted at all because they were spent surviving or seeking clarity.

In this episode, we explore:

1. Survival Mode: Why "autopilot" is a necessary tool to prevent a total system crash.
2. The Seeking Trap: How searching for permission and perfect clarity can keep us stuck.
3. Avoidance vs. Laziness: Why procrastination is actually a strategy to cope with the discomfort of change.

It’s time to trade your regret for grace and learn how to invest your time moving forward rather than just spending or "wasting" it.
