In this mentorship session, Matt & Will reflect on why we struggle to protect our time — and how to start doing it with intention. From guilt and people-pleasing to the myth of busyness, they unpack what’s really at stake when we say yes too quickly. With personal stories, spiritual insights, and practical tools, this episode invites you to set boundaries, slow down, and reclaim time for what truly matters. A quiet challenge for anyone feeling stretched thin: your life isn’t waiting — it’s already happening.
