You know that feeling when you’ve crossed ten things off your list, responded to all the emails, cooked dinner, folded laundry—and yet, somehow, it doesn’t feel like enough?
Busyness has a way of convincing us we’re doing something important… while quietly draining our energy, creativity, and joy.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I fell into the trap of constant motion, what I learned when I hit my breaking point, and how to begin creating more breathing room in your own life—starting with just one simple shift.
Whether you’re a recovering overachiever (hi, me too) or just tired of the pressure to be "on" all the time, this conversation is for you.
What We Cover:
Why our culture glorifies busyness and how it tricks us into feeling productive
A personal story of burnout disguised as “success”
The real costs of constant busyness—creativity, connection, energy
A simple prompt to create more space in your week
A gentle invitation to reset and reconnect with what matters
