Listen "65 - The Quickening: Life, Time, and Toilet Paper"
Episode Synopsis
This episode was inspired by Shelby’s wife, who dropped some unexpected wisdom: “Life is like a roll of toilet paper—it spins faster the closer you get to the end.”
Shelby’s been feeling that truth lately, and Ridge calls it “the quickening”—that strange acceleration of time as we get older. We talk about how this feeling shows up in everyday life, what it means to live with intention, and how to make peace with time slipping by.
It’s a thoughtful conversation about growing older, not taking things for granted, and squeezing meaning out of every spin of the roll.
