Let’s be honest — we’ve all said it: “I’m just too busy.”
But is it really that we’re too busy… or that we’ve stopped setting boundaries?

In this episode, Coach Jen and I unpack what being busy actually means and how it’s quietly draining your energy, your confidence, and your connection with yourself. We talk about how to stop using busyness as a badge of honor, how to create systems that work for your real life, and why self-respect starts with the way you treat yourself.

We also dive into:

  • The myth of “I don’t have time” and what’s really hiding behind it
  • How your habits and boundaries shape your kids’ behavior and self-worth
  • The difference between being productive and being present
  • Three practical strategies to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling in control

If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t have time for me,” this episode is your wake-up call to take your power back.

🎧 Hit play and let’s drop the “busy” badge together.
