Slowing Down to Speed Up - Overcome The Pressure to Be There Already
We often put pressure on ourselves to "be there already"—to have figured it all out, to be further along, to have everything perfect yesterday.
Through a heartfelt conversation with a friend and a behind-the-scenes look at his espresso blending journey, Donny unpacks how internal frustration isn’t always about the task at hand—it’s often rooted in a deeper fear: that time is slipping by and we’re not where we thought we’d be.
You’ll hear how rushing through goals, skipping the rituals that ground you, and placing unrealistic timelines only drain your energy—and how reclaiming your peace, presence, and process can help you move forward with clarity and joy.
Whether you’re building something big or navigating the everyday, this episode will invite you to:
- Reconnect with the purpose behind your goals
- Shift from pressure to presence
- Give yourself permission to enjoy the process
- And take just one small step today
Ask yourself:
– Where am I making progress but still feeling stuck?
– What could change if I stopped rushing and started trusting?
– How can I bring more joy into my daily routine—starting now?
