Episode 8 – Time Debt: The Invisible Cost of Delayed Living

Deborah "Deb", Vassili, Karim

Have you ever felt like you're sprinting through life but still falling behind?

In this episode, we dive deep into the idea of time debt—the mental, physical, and emotional cost of delaying the act of truly living. Whether it’s chasing productivity, trying to “catch up,” or being stuck in the past, we explore how these habits pull us out of the present and drain our fuel.

💭 We unpack:

  • The illusion of control and urgency in high-performance spaces
  • Why shame, fear, and guilt about “wasted” time make things worse
  • The paradox of moving fast but still feeling stuck
  • How awareness, breathwork, and small mindset shifts can help us reclaim presence

With car metaphors, philosophical tangents, a nod to In Time (yes, the Justin Timberlake movie), and some very real talk about burnout and brain fog—this one’s a ride.

Whether you’re racing through life or trying to slow down, this episode offers a moment to reflect and recalibrate.

🎧 Tune in, take a breath, and maybe… don’t rush the next thing.
