Epi 163: Untangling from Impatience
Who isn’t impatient every now and again? We all experience hiccups and inconveniences from time to time, and the minute things don’t go quick enough or the way we hoped and desire, impatience seems to be cued.

That’s why today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into impatience, what it actually is, and how to build the practice of patience into your daily life. Without it, you struggle to mindfully be present, in a positive place, and practice gratitude. We’re breaking it all down.
