Episode 34: Breaking Up with Busy (It’s Not You, It’s... Actually, It IS You)
Tough love alert. If you’re listening to this on Memorial Day while still checking your email, chauffeuring kids to sports, or planning your next Pinterest-perfect to-do list—pause. Because this solo episode is your wake-up call.
Katie is coming in hot this week to drag the word we all love to hate: “busy.”
She’s not just unpacking it—she’s beating it up, burning it down, and setting you free from its grip.
We’re diving deep into:
- Why “busy” isn’t a flex—it’s a red flag.
- How it’s ruining your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
- The real reason you're burned out (spoiler: it’s not because you're doing too much...in fact, quite the opposite).
- The “should” trap—especially for parents (yep, we're talking about you, overbooked moms).
- And how one small shift this week could help you stop surviving your schedule and start curating a life that feels wildly abundant.
Plus, you'll learn the powerful Japanese concept of "yarigai"—things worth doing—and why your calendar needs a serious reset.
So no, this isn’t your average self-care chat. It’s a soulful smackdown on the cult of busy and its lies.
Listen in, take a breath, cancel something, and reclaim your time—because you don’t have to earn your rest.
