A car break-in, hospital runs, property drama, and a rogue robot vacuum set the stage for a conversation that swerves from comedy to clarity.

So, I work more in an intermittent fasting style, but I also found I need alarms in-between this eating period especially if I'm working because I'll forget to stop and eat and then I'll do that binge eating at dinner time when I finally slow down 🫣😅
