In this episode, I reflect on The Measure by Nikki Erlick, a thought-provoking novel about what happens when every adult receives a box containing a string that reveals the length of their life. 

While we don’t actually have visible strings telling us how much time we have, the book raises a powerful question: Are we living the life we truly want to live, or simply the life we have fallen into? 

I explore why so many of us say “I don’t have time,” how we stay stuck in comfort zones we’ve outgrown, and how small, intentional changes can help us use our time more honestly and meaningfully.
