#338: We spend our entire lives talking to other people, but no one ever teaches us how to actually be good at it. And according to today's guest, conversation isn’t something you’re either naturally good or bad at. It’s a skill you can learn.

#337: You finish work with every intention of working out, cooking dinner, calling a friend, reading your book, or finally getting back to that hobby you love.

Josie breaks down how to stop accidentally giving away the hours after work, without turning your evenings into another productivity routine. These aren’t leftover hours to kill until tomorrow or the waiting room in between workdays; they’re where your relationships, hobbies, health, dreams, and actual enjoyment of your life happen.
