0:00Okay, Pad Squad, welcome back.

0:03Question for you.

0:04When was the last time you did something completely pointless just because it made you feel alive?

0:10Have you ever looked up from your life and realized you've become really good at managing it, but you're not sure you're actually living it?

0:20Like, you're sort of nailing adulting to the point where you've completely forgotten how to human.

0:27Many of us have gotten really good at carrying a lot.

0:29We're checking the boxes, solving the problems, taking care of everyone, and somehow convincing ourselves that we'll rest, laugh, play, and breathe a little easier once we just get through this week or this list or this month or this season.

0:47You might know you're one of those people if you hear yourself saying again and again like I do, oh, it'll slow down when.

0:53But what if it isn't going to slow down when?

0:56What if either we slow down or it never slows down?
