In “5 Signs You’re Not Living in the Present,” I explore the everyday habits and thought patterns that keep so many of us stuck in autopilot constantly multitasking, fixated on regrets, or worrying about the future. If you feel like your days are passing in a blur or the happiest moments slip by unnoticed, this episode is for you.
