If you ever feel like there’s never enough time — this episode is your deep breath. Justin and Kylie unpack the idea of “time abundance” — how to slow life down when the to-do list never ends. From the psychology of feeling rushed to practical ways to reclaim calm, this is your permission slip to stop racing and start living with more space, energy, and joy.

KEY POINTS

Most of us undervalue our time — we tick off easy tasks instead of what truly matters.
Protecting your time doesn’t mean saying no to family; it means saying yes intentionally.
Feeling time-rich comes from being mindful in the moment, not just managing the clock.
Giving your time to others actually makes you feel like you have more time.
Buy yourself back time when you can — small choices (like grocery delivery or help with chores) reduce pressure and create calm.
Scrolling isn’t rest. True breaks come from presence, connection, and purpose.

ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS

Block time out for what matters most — and guard it fiercely.
Be mindful in your moments of rest; let your brain actually stop.
Give time to others — kindness expands your sense of time.
Buy back time where possible; trade dollars for breathing space.
Ditch the doom scroll. Choose real rest over digital distraction.
