English term or phrase: giving or finding

Hello everyone,

I have a video (a TV show) and a script for it.

A presenter and her two guests are talking about physical exercises and their importance for longevity.

The script reads as follows:

- Are you starting to take some steps in that direction? It's so hard to find the time.
- It is. That is... I have a problem with that... it's ***finding the time*** to do it, but I plan to.

I might well be wrong but I think she doesn't say "finding the time" but does say "giving the time."

Am I right?

Here is the fragment of the video in question:

The phrase in question is between 14:03 - 14:05 (timecode).

Thank you.
