Episode Summary:
Let’s be real—me time often feels like a myth. You carve out a quiet moment, light a candle, maybe even start doing something that brings you joy… and then chaos enters stage left (looking at you, Snoopy 🐶).

In this episode, I’m sharing:
✨ The soup story that perfectly captures how “me time” turns into a press conference
✨ The difference between being alone and actually feeling like something is yours
✨ Four common mistakes we make when trying to carve out meaningful time
✨ Why your “me time” doesn’t have to be productive to be powerful
✨ And how to reclaim joy as part of your Journey of You (not just a nice-to-have luxury)

You’ll walk away with:
✔️ Reflection questions to help you rediscover what lights you up
✔️ Practical ways to protect your time without guilt
✔️ A new lens for seeing “joy” not as a task, but as a lifeline

Now I want to hear from you:
