Reading isn’t just a hobby—it’s a discipline that shapes how you think, lead, and show up every day.

In this episode of the Untitled Coaching Podcast, host Justin Estes shares what he’s been reading, why reading matters to him, and how books have become a non-negotiable part of his routine for stress management, growth, and clarity. From rebuilding a nighttime routine after becoming a husband and dad to creating intentional spaces for learning and reflection, Justin walks through how reading supports both his personal life and leadership.

This conversation isn’t a book list for the sake of a book list—it’s an honest look at how reading fits into a sustainable rhythm of life, especially for busy leaders, coaches, and parents.

In this episode, Justin covers:

• How reading became part of his stress-management and sleep routine
• Why routines matter more than motivation
• The difference between reading for the heart, the brain, and for fun
• Books that have shaped his faith, focus, creativity, and leadership
• How to create a reading habit that actually sticks

Justin also shares practical insight on choosing the right time, place, and mindset for reading—so it becomes something that fuels you instead of another box to check.

If you’ve ever wanted to read more, think more clearly, or build better rhythms into your life, this episode will give you a simple, honest framework to get started.
