Hi, welcome to this week's episode of Over 50 In Flourishing.

I'm your host, Dominique Soxha, and today's topic is, are you running from something or toward something?

This is a podcast episode that was actually sparked by a conversation that I had recently with my dear court.

And we were just talking about the nature of busyness. And sometimes

we wear busyness like a badge of honor. You know, is all of our productivity meaningful? Or are we

end of the podcast. But we hope you enjoy this heartfelt, sincere and meaningful conversation.
