Do you ever feel like you’re running out of time? Feeling like you’re behind in life, even when everything looks fine on the outside?
In this episode, I’m joined by Ishan Shivanand, a former monk and mental health researcher, to explore why fear of time shows up so powerfully, and how changing your relationship with time can change how you experience your life.
We talk about aging, mortality, and the “death meditations” Ishan was taught as a young monk as a practical framework for reducing anxiety, letting go of pressure, and reconnecting with what actually matters.
This episode will help you change your life by changing your relationship with time, so you stop living like you’re already too late.
Ishan Shivanand is a former monk and mental health researcher who works with universities and institutions to study yoga-based practices in modern, real-world settings.
