EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Are you stuck in the In-Between? You’re trying to juggle parenting and productivity. Purpose and pressure. And by the end of the day, you’ve caught zero rabbits — and all the guilt. In this episode of The Dallas Daily Show, Dallas Amsden is joined by his wife, Meg, for a heartfelt and hilarious look at what happens when your focus is split, your energy is scattered, and your identity is caught between two roles. Whether you're a high-performing entrepreneur or a purpose-driven parent, this conversation will help you stop the cycle of self-judgment and start becoming the version of yourself you’re called to be: the FUTURE YOU.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- What happened on Meg’s “miserable President’s Day”
- How the In-Between creates guilt and burnout
- Why the man who chases two rabbits catches neither (Confucius gets a cameo)
- Dallas and Meg’s banter on puns, presence, and prioritization
- How to set boundaries that align with your FUTURE YOU
- The secret power of choosing one lane
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Trying to do it all often means doing nothing well
- The “In-Between” is a drain on your identity and energy
- The FUTURE YOU doesn’t live in chaos—it lives in clarity
- Guilt can be a growth signal when used for reflection, not punishment
- Choosing one lane allows you to move forward with focus
- You have permission to say no—and mean it
- Boundaries are the beginning of becoming who you're meant to be
