I appreciate your brain, and this really resonates. I've feeling overwhelmed in a similar but definitely not the same way (it seems you work far harder and juggle way more) - because I feel like everything is a flavour of YAY I want to taste, and yet I keep running out of time, never bored, but disappointed in how overwhelmed I am, even when I'm going flat-out (which always proves unsustainable).
This also makes me distrust short-cuts, especially tech ones, because I just enjoy doing stuff myself the long way SO VERY DAMN MUCH, and if anything I want to take even longer to do some things to really savor them.
But of course the long way takes so much time...
There must be a hyper-specific word for this complicated frustration, maybe in Japanese or German.
"I have to braid the wig to know that I hate making wigs. It’s just how I’m wired." I had to send that line to a friend who is absolutely ALSO you. I think what you posted is so accurate. You are intentional and that's okay. Love your wrap-up, thanks for sharing!
I've never read anything so relatable, right down to the launching a podcast this year then putting it on hiatus because I don't have time for "fun work." Some of us just have to do all the things because we like doing all the things, so it's forever a balance of how much is too much. Read up on Enneagram 7s if you like that kind of thing.
I am impressed of how much I can relate to this feeling....clearly a sign of the times, where possibilities are all over the place, current age +40 gives us more confidence, and we just want more out of life....thank you for your service madame! Will keep coming back for some more! <3 happy holidays!

Oh, hey, that's my podcast! Thanks for shouting it out and thank you so much for coming on and having such a great conversation :)
Also, on the moving forward with clarity/intention front--you know I'm down to help however I can. Shoot me a message anytime.
