Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I’m Camille Kinsler, and this week’s episode is one I am truly living in real time. For the past two weeks, life hasn’t just felt full — it’s felt downright busy. The kind of busy where the things I say matter most to me slowly start sliding to the bottom of the purse… only to be rediscovered later with dried chocolate stuck to them.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin — where everything feels urgent, everything feels important, and somehow you feel like you’re choosing nothing at all — this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share:

  • The honest look at what fell off my plate (hint: this podcast!)
  • How I realized I was valuing things I didn’t think I valued simply because I was choosing them
  • A surprising list of the seven roles I’m holding at my kids’ school — and what it taught me about invisible labor
  • What happens when we confuse obligation with choice
  • The exact questions I use to get back into alignment when everything feels urgent
  • Why your values aren’t what you say they are — they’re what your calendar reveals
  • A gentle process for noticing where you’re avoiding, overgiving, or outsourcing your power

This is an episode about honesty — with yourself, your values, your season of life, and the priorities that truly matter. Not the ones you think you “should” care about… but the ones your heart actually wants to rise to the top.

Big Takeaways:

  • Everything you’re doing is a choice — even the things that feel like obligations.
  • Overwhelm often comes from valuing one thing in theory but choosing another in practice.
  • You can reclaim your priorities by asking better questions, not by adding more discipline.
  • Your values shift with your season — and that’s okay.
