Do you find yourself caught up in daily tasks, notifications, and anxiety? In this solo episode, host JT takes the mic to delve into a topic that resonates with us all: the challenge of intentional living in an era dominated by distractions. In a world where our attention is a precious commodity, JT laments how society's flood of distractions can lead us astray from our intentions. 

JT opens up about his quest to identify his core values and non-negotiables – those guiding lights that can shape our decisions and actions - and the struggle to consciously allocate time to the things that truly matter in the face of constant digital beckoning and endless external pressures.

But this episode is really about action and community. JT fill us in on the upcoming CoH Speaker Series event on October 21st in Wilmington, Delaware. It's a chance for listeners to engage with powerful stories of resilience and healing from dynamic speakers Zac Clark, founder of Release Recovery, and Green Beret Nick Lavery, sharing stories and insight about the power of habits, mental health, addiction, and recovery. 

Interested in sponsoring? By supporting this Speaker Series, sponsors will play a pivotal role in nurturing a community of change-makers and thought leaders committed to mental health and wellness.
