This Life of Ours - When We're Tuning Out from the Present, Ep. 13

You know those moments when you realize you've been mentally somewhere else entirely? Maybe you're physically present at your kid's soccer game, but your mind is already planning tomorrow's meeting. Or you're having dinner with your partner, but you're replaying that conversation from last week that didn't go quite right. In this episode of This Life of Ours, we're getting real about something we all do but rarely talk about—those times when it feels easier to check out than to stay present in the messy, beautiful, sometimes overwhelming reality of right now. From family milestones to everyday moments, we share our own stories of catching ourselves zoning out and what it has cost us. We talk about the ways this habit can quietly steal our peace, delay our progress, and keep us from living fully. We talk about why our brains do this (spoiler: they're trying to help, but sometimes they get a little carried away), and we share some gentle, practical ways to come back to center when you notice yourself drifting. Nothing complicated—just real tools that have worked for us when life feels like it's moving too fast. Because the truth is, this life of ours is happening right now—and it's worth showing up for.
