    Make A Difference Minute: Back Off & Breathe
    Sep 24 2025
    On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that tailgating will not get you to your destination any faster. Instead, it creates stress and unnecessary risk. Just like on the road, in life we sometimes push too hard or pressure others to move at our pace, only to make the journey more difficult. This segment encourages patience, reminding us that stepping back and taking a breath helps protect relationships, ease tension, and allow us to enjoy the journey. Sponsor: J. Calvert Farms
