Have you ever caught yourself saying, “When things slow down…” or “After this season, it’ll be less busy…”? You’re not alone—I’ve said it too. But here’s the hard truth: it’s not just the holidays, soccer season, or back-to-school time that feels overwhelming. The busyness never stops unless we make intentional changes.

In this episode, we’re having a heart-to-heart about the myth of “less busy seasons.” I’ll share why this mindset keeps us stuck, how we’re conditioned to wear busyness like a badge of honor, and the real reason we feel so stretched in every stage of life.

We’ll also dive into:

• Why it feels like there’s always something keeping us busy.
• The importance of identifying where your time is actually going.
• How to be the gatekeeper of your family’s schedule—and say no with grace.
• A challenge to rethink how you answer, “How are you?”

If you’ve been waiting for the busy to end on its own, let this episode be the wake-up call (and permission) you need to take back control of your time and energy.
