What “I Don’t Have Time” Really Means (Time Series, Part 1)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t have time,” this one’s for you. In this honest and energizing episode, Andrea unpacks the phrase so many midlife women use—and what it’s actually saying about our priorities.

Spoiler: it’s not about the hours in the day. It’s about reclaiming your power and finally putting yourself on your own damn to-do list.

This episode was recorded before Andrea received her breast cancer diagnosis, making this conversation even more personal. The reminder to schedule your own appointments, check in with your body, and stop putting yourself last has never felt more urgent or real. You can read more about that part of her story here:
