Episode notes
Picture your week. Not the highlight reel, not the version you would put on social media, but the real one. The walk you skipped because someone moved a meeting. The lunch you ate at your desk for the third day in a row. The text from a friend you keep meaning to answer and still have not. Now ask yourself one question: was the reason all of that happened actually urgent? Or was it just loud? In this solo episode of Lead with Spark, Lynsey Mulder tackles one of the most common patterns she sees in the women she coaches right now: we have gotten really good at responding to loud and really bad at protecting what actually matters to us. And she is not here to sell you a calendar overhaul, a new app, or a five o'clock morning routine. She is here to help you find the fifteen-minute pockets that already exist in your life and start making different choices in them.
