Urgency is the sneaky thief that convinces high-achievers they’re productive while quietly stealing their joy, energy, and the luxury of truly living.

Corinne Morahan is joined by her friend and COO of her company, Briggs Rolfsrud, for a conversation about how urgency creeps into our lives and disrupts our ability to feel successful, present, and fulfilled. They discuss why high-achieving women often fall into a relentless cycle of “getting things done,” even when they have the resources to delegate and create ease. Corinne shares how this constant urgency becomes a default setting for many of her clients, while Briggs brings her perspective on why learning to turn urgency on and off is essential for a life that feels both productive and joyful.

Together, they unpack how external pressures to achieve often morph into self-imposed expectations that no longer serve us. Through stories about missing meaningful family moments and ignoring life’s simplest joys, Corinne and Briggs reveal how urgency robs us of deeper impact, thoughtful work, and true satisfaction. The conversation leads to a redefinition of luxury, not as material flexes, but as the freedom to choose how we spend our time and energy. With strategies to help listeners break free from urgency, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim their life, realign their priorities, and experience success on their own terms.
