Summary
In this week's episode, we're diving into the interconnected topics of self-care and busyness. I talk about why so many of us conflate our value with how much we get done and how our society plays into this unconscious association. And we'll chat about how you can build some more relaxation, stillness, and introspection into your day, so you can press pause on the busyness machine and get in touch with what you really want and need.
