Freedom doesn’t come from having endless flexibility.

It comes from knowing what matters and protecting it with intention.

In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth Grace Saunders, one of the world’s leading time management experts and the founder of Real Life E®, for a grounded, honest conversation about time, boundaries, and self-worth.

Elizabeth and I have known each other for over a decade — long before either of us were married or parents — and throughout the years, I’ve watched her quietly and consistently redefine what time management actually means. Not hustle. Not optimisation. But peace, presence, and intentional living.

In this conversation, Elizabeth shares how she became a time management coach by first fixing her own unhealthy relationship with work, why most entrepreneurs struggle more once they leave corporate life, and how planning ahead is the thing that actually creates flexibility, not restriction.

We also dive into motherhood, shifting capacity, lowering expectations without lowering standards, and navigating the rise of AI without losing your voice, creativity, or sense of worth.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by freedom, guilty when you rest, or stuck reacting instead of leading your life, this episode will bring clarity, calm, and perspective.

• Why the flexibility of entrepreneurship often drives us insane (and what to do about it)
• The "infinity pool" model that will revolutionize how you think about your time
• The top three time management challenges almost everyone faces but thinks are unique to them
• How to translate your values into concrete actions on your calendar (not just vague intentions)
• What having two young children has taught a time management expert about lowering expectations and radical prioritization
• The surprisingly emotional reality of running a business in the age of AI (and why your human value matters more than ever)
