| 0:08.9 | Hello there, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 426th episode of Tranquility DeJure, |
| 0:17.7 | a podcast featuring artists, activists, and authors around the globe. |
| 0:24.0 | Today we're chatting with Yvonne Talley on her latest book, Breaking Up with Busy. |
| 0:32.2 | The subtitle, Real Life Solutions for Over Scheduled Women. I'm sure many of you can relate to this. And during this |
| 0:41.6 | interview, we discussed the over-scheduled woman, tips to break up with being busy, and ways to |
| 0:48.5 | understand what's driving our busy behavior. And if you need a tranquility de jour, there's a link in the show notes to find |

| 1:34.3 | group of women joining the Penning and Paris retreat. And then we also had some time on the |
| 1:40.6 | front end during the weekend and on the back end. And I posted lots of photos over on |
| 1:45.6 | the blog. So be sure to check those out, Kimberlywilson.com slash blog. And we had Ms. Bell with us, |
| 1:52.3 | who was just amazing. And we even had pet mice. They weren't really pets, but they became our |
| 1:58.0 | little pets in our Airbnb. And we named him, or I named him, |
| 2:03.5 | Francois, and then he seemed to have a little bit of a family who we met later on in the week. |
| 2:08.8 | So anyway, it was a true delight. It was just Paris is such, you know, assuming we said, |
| 2:14.8 | a movable feast, but just all the sensory details. |
