What if time doesn’t need to be managed, but liberated?
In this episode of The Empowered and Embodied Show, Kim and Louise are joined by holistic time coach Becca Rich for a soul-stretching conversation about how we relate to time, and how that relationship is shaped by hustle culture, systemic oppression, and internalized shame.
Together, we explore what it means to practice time liberation by listening to your unique rhythms, breaking free from toxic productivity patterns, and redefining what it means to spend your time well. If you’ve ever felt like you’re always behind, never doing enough, or stuck in someone else’s schedule… this one’s for you.
Inside this episode:
- The truth about time shame and the myth of “falling behind”
- Why “time management” often reinforces systems of oppression
- How rest, rhythm, and community reclaim your agency
- The role of presence, pleasure, and purpose in bending time
- Simple, embodied ways to shift how you experience your days
