What you'll hear:

• How we’ve personally seen our quality of life suffer from having an efficiency driven mindset
• The problem with compartmentalization of work and play
• What we might be missing in the midst of all this productivity
• Maggie’s dietetic opinion on drinking vinegar, zoodles, golden milk, and other current nutrition trends.

Can I quote you on that?

• “Why can’t we say, ‘we’re gonna get less done, and that’s okay’?” Jacey
• “Where we go wrong with efficiency is placing it as the highest value.” Maggie
• “You’re not a machine. You’re human, and may we never lose touch with our humanity.” Jacey
• “In the stark compartmentalization of work and play, we lose the opportunity to find joy in the work and joy in the process of getting things done.” Maggie
• “There’s not a shortcut for everything. There’s not a life hack for staying in love with someone, or forgiveness or vulnerability.” Jacey
