Hey, hey, everyone! Today I welcome show writer, speaker, coach, and podcast host, Jen Pollock Michel for a very insightful (and much-needed) conversation about our love-hate relationship with our clocks and the anxiety it often brings to our lives.

Be sure to listen to how Jen discusses a couple of truths she has landed on, including- 

1. “Time belongs not to us but to God.” 

So much wisdom is found in what Jen discovered while writing her most recent book titled, In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace…. I promise you don’t want to miss out on this eye-opening conversation!

Jen Pollock Michel holds a B.A. in French from Wheaton College, an M.A. in Literature from Northwestern University, and is working on completing an M.F.A from Seattle Pacific University. After eleven years of living in Toronto, Jen now lives in Cincinnati with her husband and two youngest children.

Listen in to learn more about:

• What time anxiety is and how it plays out in our lives, whether we're trying to find time, save it, manage it, or make the most of it.

Favorite quotes:

“A faithful life is a courageous life. Tuning our ears to God’s voice takes a lot of courage.” 

“A practical place to start is to think about habits and practices of everyday life.”  

“There is not a right way. It is actually living every day in faithful response to God’s voice. ”
