Welcome back to The Dang Good Show! I'm your host, Christine Dang, and today we’re diving into a concept that’s incredibly pertinent in our fast-paced world: "The Joy of Missing Out: Embracing a Slower Pace of Life." Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the constant pressure to be everywhere and do everything? Well, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’ll explore how slowing down can actually enrich your life, bringing more joy and fulfillment. I’ll share personal stories about my own journey from saying yes to everything, to discovering the peace that comes with embracing JOMO. We’ll also dive into research that backs up the benefits of a slower pace. So, grab a cozy drink, sit back, and let’s find joy in the slow moments together.
