What Are You Still Working On?
About This Conversation
In this episode of Our Rough Draft, Denise and Tim begin year two of the podcast by returning to the idea behind the name itself: we are all still in draft mode.
Together, they talk about confidence, belonging, aging, work, marriage, parenting adult children, and the quiet ways we keep becoming. Denise reflects on what it means to stop hustling for her worth in rooms where she once felt like she had to prove she belonged, while Tim shares his desire to care for his health so his world stays big in the years ahead.
Along the way, they wonder about the roles we get locked into, the parts of ourselves that may go unseen at work, and the practice of showing up for each other without keeping score. This conversation is an invitation to ask what is still unfinished in us, and to see that not as failure, but as possibility.
