In this episode of the "Deliberate Leaders" podcast, host Allison Dunn discusses the pervasive issue of "busyness" in the business world and argues that it is often overused and doesn't necessarily equate to progress. She points out that "busy" has become a common response when asking leaders and entrepreneurs how they are doing.Dunn challenges the notion that being busy is a "badge of honor," suggesting that it can actually indicate being stuck rather than moving forward. She shares a personal anecdote of a time when her calendar was so full she had to schedule bathroom breaks, yet her major business goals were not advancing. This illustrates the core idea that being busy doesn't automatically lead to business growth; being deliberate does.The episode delves into what Dunn calls the "cult of busy," outlining several reasons why people fall into this trap:•  There's a social currency associated with being busy, where having a lot to do is perceived as being important and successful, while having open time might be viewed negatively.•  People confuse motion with progress, believing that a full calendar and constant notifications mean they are achieving their goals.•  Busyness can become a convenient excuse for avoiding deep, meaningful work that would truly move the needle, such as strategic planning.Dunn then offers three mindset shifts to help leaders move away from the "busy" trap:•  Replace "busy" with specific language: Instead of saying "I'm busy," try describing what you are actively working on and creating.•  Measure outcomes, not activity: Focus on whether your actions are moving you closer to your important goals, rather than just assessing how busy you were. A focused hour on a priority is more valuable than scattered hours of busyness.•  Embrace strategic pauses: Effective leaders intentionally schedule time for thinking, strategizing, and creating without constant interruptions.Finally, the episode provides three actionable steps to help listeners break free from being constantly busy:•  Conduct a "busy audit": For a week, pay attention to how often you say or think "I'm so busy" and then question what you are busy doing and whether it aligns with your top priorities.•  Identify your high-leverage activities: Determine the 2-3 activities that have the most significant impact on your business or leadership and schedule them first, protecting that time diligently.•  Practice strategically saying "no": Recognize that saying yes to one thing means saying no to something else, and consider what you are implicitly declining when you take on a new commitment.In conclusion, Allison Dunn emphasizes that true leadership is not defined by how full your calendar is but by the impact of your actions, urging listeners to prioritize being deliberate over being busy.About the Host:Allison Dunn•  Host of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast•  Business Coach•  Founder of Deliberate DirectionsConnect:•  Website: Deliberate Directions•  Podcast: Deliberate Leaders PodcastReminder: Subscribe and leave a review to support the podcast!

In this episode, we're diving into Chapter 8 of Make Change That Last, by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee "How are you?"When was the last time someone asked you that?And when was the last time you answered:"Oh, I've just been so busy."or"Nonstop, man. Just grinding, trying to get everything done."Sound familiar?We live in a world where busyness is the default.We're taught that if we're not constantly working, rushing, producing… we're somehow falling behind.But let me challenge you on this:

This podcast is  not really a debate. It's more of a conversation. Listeners send in questions for discussion and we've got up to 50 questions still to get through. Some aren't about the countryside or the environment, but co-hosts Stuart and William try and bring them beck to the environment in some way, with the actions they come up with. Ched, sets the first question from Port-Au-Prince, Haiti - “Who or what is the world's super power?”William initially suggests the USA as an answer to Ched's question but quickly shifts to a broader perspective. He identifies the real superpower as the ability to create an inclusive and effective community—a dynamic where people from diverse backgrounds connect, exchange ideas, and spark transformative progress. Stuart views Earth's superpower as its innate ability to foster and sustain life, a universal and extraordinary quality beyond the confines of planet Earth.William quotes physicist Brian Cox, emphasizing humanity's unique capacity to marvel at the universe and suggesting that losing this trait would be a profound loss. Their discussion diverges into intriguing tangents: William explores the concept of large numbers by converting them into relatable measures like time, while Stuart delves into the mysteries of black holes, pondering what happens to the matter within if a black hole ceases to exist.Fendy, from Dajabon, Haiti offers up the next question - “Is it good to be busy?”William begins by asserting that busyness for its own sake is counterproductive, though it may serve as a useful distraction in difficult times. He cites gardening and housework as examples of purposeful activity. Drawing on his business experience, Stuart observes that many people appear busy while accomplishing little, which he describes as a form of self-sabotage. They further note that some individuals maintain an image of busyness without engaging in substantively meaningful work. Stuart then shifts the focus to consider how one might achieve effectiveness without unnecessary preoccupation, prompting William to recall a U.S. podcast on activism that stressed the importance of balancing dedicated efforts with periods of disengagement to avoid missing critical opportunities.What do you make of this discussion?

For many business owners, being busy isn’t just a reality – it’s a status symbol. Ask any tradie how business is going, and you’ll hear: “Mate, flat out! Non-stop. Can’t keep up.” And there’s a certain pride in that. Like if you’re not run off your feet, you mustn’t be doing well enough. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Busyness isn’t a business strategy. If you’re drowning in work, stretched thin, and never moving forward, is that really success? Today, we’re challenging the idea that exhaustion equals achievement. Because the most successful business owners aren’t the busiest—they’re the smartest with their time. In this episode you’ll learn:

As we continue our series on “The People Who Shape Us,” John Eldredge joins us. He is someone who has shaped how we pray and ultimately how we relate with Jesus ourselves. He's been a mentor and spiritual father to many, and has significantly shaped how we lead even our children to experience Jesus for themselves. In the beautiful, kind words of a spiritual father, John shares stories about how he healed while raising his own kids, and what that healing did for how he started to relate to and experience the love of Abba in his own life. He also describes his own spiritual journey as having walked through what he calls “wardrobe doors,” a nod to C.S. Lewis' pathway into Narnia.  He also shares how to find the people who can shape you in your pursuit and experience of Jesus. The key question John leaves us with is: “What has worked for you?”  Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction to John Eldredge and how he's shaped us6:30 The beginning of John's story to knowing Jesus7:34 The first wardrobe door11:47 John's journey to healing and leading his family at same time16:26 The second wardrobe door23:23 The antidote to “rallying” and “living spent”28:06 The fight for the human soul33:02 The third wardrobe door37:37 The beautiful ways Jesus transforms us and the ways we self-protect57:12 How to find the people who can shape you Show Notes:  Get a copy of John's new book Experience Jesus.

In this episode of the GodsyGirl Podcast, I open up about the deep grief of losing my mother and brother and how I've used chronic busyness to cope. But God is calling me to something different—stillness. Instead of drowning my pain in distractions, He's leading me to sit quietly in His presence and truly heal. If you've ever filled your days just to avoid the hurt, this episode is for you. Let's talk about grief, faith, and the power of being still before God.

This audio recording captures a church sermon delivered by Jim West on March 23, 2025, focusing on the biblical concept of the seventh day of creation in Genesis. West emphasizes the unique nature of the seventh day as a day of God's rest, highlighting its significance through repetition in the text and its distinction from the other creation days. He connects this idea to the Fourth Commandment to observe the Sabbath, explaining its dual purpose of remembering God as both creator and redeemer, referencing both Exodus and Deuteronomy. Furthermore, the sermon explores the contemporary struggle to find rest, contrasting it with the cultural obsession with busyness and production. Ultimately, West posits that true rest for the soul is found not in inactivity but in actively coming to and trusting in Jesus Christ, aligning one's life with Him, and ceasing from self-reliance.Support the showThanks for listening!

Psalm 27: Triumphant Song of Confidence; Luke 13:31-35: The Lament over JerusalemI wish I could cultivate my daysLike my mother's favorite recipe,Blending together the sweetest things—Hope and love, you and me,Justice and peace,Music and dreams—Like spices pulled from the shelf on thewall.I'd add one cup of family,And one cup of grace.A dash of starry nights,A pinch of snow.One tablespoon of hope, and like oats,they would grow.A tablespoon of music and the hymnsthat I know.A cup for friends that feel more likefamily,A teaspoon of vanilla, for life's sheerbeauty.Three teaspoons of summer, and onetablespoon of dreams.Plus half a cup for the church that raisedme,And half a cup for the moon thatserenades me.The instructions would read:Melt your love and whisk with justice untilit expands beyond the pan.Gently stir in all that you hope for. Cover,and let rise.Drizzle with a sweet glaze of mercy.Please be sure to leave heartache andgrief tucked on the shelfBeside comparison, doubt, fear, anddepression.Busyness will make this dish sour,As will grudges and gossip, which is not tomentionTrauma and loss, or my fragile bones.So use only the best ingredientsWhen you cultivate your life.For like your mother's favorite recipe,These days are sacred.-SEEKING PRESENCE CULTIVATE

"If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?" – Luke 16:11Managing money wisely in today's fast-paced world isn't always easy. With so many financial demands, it's tempting to take shortcuts—grabbing coffee on the go, eating out instead of cooking, or neglecting a budget altogether. But faithfulness in finances requires intentionality. Here's how you can stay faithful in managing your money according to biblical principles.Before making financial decisions, seek God's wisdom. James 1:5 reminds us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” Set aside time each week to pray over your finances and seek God's direction.Create a Spending PlanA budget is essential for financial faithfulness. Without one, it's easy to overspend and struggle to meet obligations. If you don't have a budget, download the free FaithFi app, which provides step-by-step guidance for setting up a plan and tracking expenses.If your income isn't covering expenses, you have two choices: cut spending or increase income. Trimming expenses is often the easier option.Cut Unnecessary ExpensesStart by reviewing where you spend the most. While housing costs may be fixed, food expenses can be reduced with intentional planning:Limit dining out to once or twice a month.Meal plan and shop with a list to avoid impulse purchases.Consider online grocery shopping to stick to a budget and avoid overspending.Beyond food, look for other savings opportunities:Cancel unused streaming subscriptions.Form a babysitting pool with other parents.Seek out free local activities for entertainment.Build an Emergency FundFinancial stability requires preparation. Start by setting aside $1,500 for unexpected expenses like car repairs or medical bills. Gradually work toward saving three to six months' worth of living expenses. The peace of mind an emergency fund provides is worth the effort.Tackle Debt StrategicallyIf you're burdened by debt, follow Proverbs 22:7, which warns, “…the borrower is slave to the lender.” Develop a plan to pay off consumer debt using the snowball method:Pay minimums on all debts.Focus extra payments on the smallest balance.Once that debt is paid, roll payments into the next smallest.Repeat until you're debt-free.If you're struggling to make minimum payments, consider a debt management plan through Christian Credit Counselors, who can help reduce interest rates and speed up repayment.Save for the FutureOnce consumer debt is eliminated, shift your focus to retirement savings. Aim to invest 10-15% of your income in a tax-advantaged account like an IRA or 401(k). If your employer offers matching contributions, take advantage of this free money as soon as possible.Practice GenerosityGiving is at the heart of financial faithfulness. Commit to tithing regularly to your local church and seek opportunities to bless others through sacrificial giving. As Jesus said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”By following these principles—prayer, budgeting, saving, eliminating debt, and giving—you can remain faithful in managing the resources God has entrusted to you.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife is retired. I am 59, and I want to retire next year. So our house is paid off. Vehicles, we have some rented houses. They're almost paid off. When should we take or try to take our Social Security?I'm 50 years old, self-employed, and max out my Roth IRA yearly. I have a question about Social Security—do you expect it to still be around in the next 20 years, or should someone like me be concerned about its future?I have a universal life insurance policy worth about $10,500, and my premiums were recently updated to $50 per month until 2031. However, I don't necessarily need the policy since I've donated my body to a hospital, which means I won't have funeral expenses. Therefore, I'm considering surrendering the policy, depositing the cash value into a bank account, and redirecting the $50 monthly premium into savings instead of continuing the policy. Is this a wise financial decision?My son has about $10,000 in credit card debt. He called the Christian Credit Counselors, who could help him. But he's also $30,000 in debt to payday cash loans, which charge him 300% interest. Unfortunately, they have said that they can't help him with those. Is there any avenue through which he can get help with payday loans?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineChristian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)Consumer Financial Protection BureauChristian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

“When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit!” —Edgar A. Guest 

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your schedule, struggling to make time for yourself, or stuck in the cycle of constant busyness, this episode with Peggy Sullivan is for you—learn how to break free, take back control, and start living with more intention.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/peggy-sullivanIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Peggy Sullivan joins us to break down the high cost of busyness and how to take back control of our time, happiness, and mental health. Peggy is a keynote speaker, author, and consultant who's spent years researching the effects of busyness and helping people escape the never-ending hustle. Her book, Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, lays out a simple but powerful three-step “busy busting” methodology that's already changed lives.We kicked off the conversation with Peggy's mantra: “I am enough. I have enough. I got this.” She created this saying for herself, and it serves as a reminder that we already have what we need to succeed—we just have to believe it. We also talked about her personal passions, including hot yoga and cold plunges (which, honestly, sound like a nightmare to me, but she swears by them!).Peggy explained why so many of us struggle to prioritize self-care. Society glorifies busyness as a status symbol, making us think that being overbooked equals being successful. We also get a little rush of adrenaline when we cross something off a to-do list, even if that thing wasn't important. That's why busyness becomes addictive. But here's the kicker—research shows that 75% of Americans feel overwhelmed by their schedules and don't know how to slow down, and 64% skip basic self-care (like eating meals and getting enough sleep) because they're “too busy.” Worse yet, 76% of those who identify as overly busy aren't even happy.So how do we break free? Peggy shared her three-step busy busting process:Subtraction: Cut out low-value activities that drain time without adding anything meaningful. Doom scrolling, email rabbit holes, and unnecessary multitasking are some of the biggest culprits.Mojo Making: Replace that busyness high with intentional happiness rituals. Whether it's savoring a piece of chocolate, taking a walk, or making time for a real connection, small moments of joy add up.Values Vibing: Align your decisions with your core values. Peggy's research identified four values that lead to a fulfilling life: human connection, energy management, growth, and authenticity. When you prioritize these, it becomes easier to say no to the noise and yes to what truly matters.We also talked about the long-term mental health impacts of busyness—like forgetfulness, burnout, and strained relationships. Peggy shared a wake-up call from her own life: after working late one night, she accidentally ate her cat's food instead of her own because she was too exhausted to notice. That moment made her realize just how much her busy lifestyle was costing her.Peggy left us with some solid advice: Try the alternative. Cut one or two things that aren't serving you and see how it feels. No one she's worked with has ever regretted slowing down and making more space for what truly matters. She encourages everyone to stop letting busyness steal their joy. Life is richer, healthier, and more meaningful when we step off the hamster wheel.

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast, and today we are joined by business strategist and 7-figure entrepreneur mentor Kareen Walsh! Kareen shares how she transitioned from self-employed consultant to scaling a thriving business that runs on just 10% of her time—while generating massive ROI. She reveals the keys to shifting from a "busyness" trap to true business ownership, leveraging your zone of genius, and implementing smart delegation strategies. Discover Kareen's EVOLVE methodology for sustainable growth, the power of automation and AI in scaling, and her groundbreaking Hey Kareen® AI App, designed to provide on-demand coaching. Learn how to identify your role as a CEO—whether you're a Creator, Entrepreneur, or Operator—and build a business that aligns with your vision while setting yourself up for long-term success. In this episode, we're discussing… Busy-ness vs. Business: Many entrepreneurs are trapped in "busy-ness" rather than actually running a business. The key is shifting from doing everything yourself to strategically leading and scaling. The Power of Delegation: If a task isn't worth your time financially or energetically, delegate it. Entrepreneurs often resist letting go, but leadership means oversight, not micromanagement. Scaling with Strategy: Kareen challenged herself to reach seven figures using only 10% of her time. The shift? Thinking like a business owner rather than a service provider. The Fulfillment Factor Exercise: List and rank tasks by how much they fulfill you (1-10). Keep tasks above an 8, delegate anything below a 7, and eliminate tasks under a 5. Leveraging AI & Automation: Entrepreneurs don't have to do everything manually. Automation, AI, and virtual assistants can free up time to focus on high-impact work. Coaching & Mentorship is Essential: Even successful business leaders continue learning and hiring mentors to gain perspective and grow. Scaling Impact with Innovation: Kareen created Hey Kareen® AI App to serve more people without stretching herself too thin, showing that growth comes from innovation, not just hard work.      Resources from Kareen Walsh     LinkedIn | Instagram | Hey Kareen®      Resources from Mike and Nichole     Gateway Private Equity Group |  Nic's guide | Franchise With Bob

The Reason of Stress: Insights from Mel RobbinsStress is a pervasive issue in modern life, and Mel Robbins, a renowned motivational speaker and author, has provided valuable insights into its causes and management. Here are some key points from her work: Addiction to Busyness and Stress: Robbins highlights that many people are addicted to busyness and stress, often feeling uncomfortable when not engaged in constant activity. This addiction can lead to exhaustion and a sense of being overwhelmed, as individuals feel they must always be doing something to feel productive or valuable4. Procrastination as a Coping Mechanism: Robbins explains that procrastination is not a form of laziness but rather a coping mechanism for stress. When stressed, individuals are more susceptible to distraction, which can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and overwhelm3. The Fight-or-Flight Response: Stress triggers the sympathetic nervous system, initiating the fight-or-flight response. This response, while beneficial in acute situations, can become detrimental when it's a constant state, leading to chronic stress and its associated health issues2. The Power of Small Actions: Robbins emphasizes the importance of taking small, courageous actions to manage stress. These actions can help break the cycle of rumination and negative thoughts, allowing individuals to regain control over their lives3. The 'Let Them' Concept: Robbins introduced the "Let them" concept, which involves accepting others as they are and relinquishing the need to control or change them. This approach can alleviate stress by freeing individuals from the burden of trying to manage others' behaviors or reactions1. Self-Love and Self-Care: Practicing self-love and self-care is crucial for managing stress. Robbins suggests taking time for oneself, engaging in hobbies, and prioritizing mental health to prevent burnout and maintain well-being2. The Five-Second Rule: Robbins' famous technique involves counting down from five to interrupt negative thought patterns and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a calmer state of mind1. Recognizing and Addressing Stress: The first step in managing stress is recognizing its impact and actively seeking solutions. Robbins encourages individuals to take control of their stress by understanding its effects and implementing strategies to mitigate it2.ConclusionMel Robbins' insights into stress management revolve around understanding the physiological and psychological responses to stress, recognizing its impact, and taking proactive steps to manage it. By addressing the addiction to busyness, employing techniques like the five-second rule, practicing self-love, and embracing the "Let them" philosophy, individuals can gain control over their stress levels, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Entrepreneurs tell me (over and over) they don't know how to market. With a bit more digging, together we realize that's not really the issue. They've built businesses, landed clients, and made money. What's really stopping them?  That's today's topic. I'm Alecia St. Germain and I'm joined by my co-host Jonathan Dubber and today we explore how marketing isn't about chasing the latest tactic but about alignment. It's connecting your values, your message, and your audience in a way that feels authentic.  Key Points Marketing isn't the problem. If you've successfully found clients, you already know how to market. The real issue is often about clarity, confidence, and consistency. The search for the “magic bullet” is a distraction. Entrepreneurs often chase the latest marketing trends when, in reality, timeless strategies like relationship-building and authentic messaging work best. Authenticity matters more than tactics. Aligning your marketing with your core values and beliefs builds trust and attracts the right audience. Consistency is key. Many business owners start marketing, get busy with clients, and then stop, leading to feast-or-famine cycles. Sustainable businesses keep marketing even when they're fully booked. Your messaging needs to resonate. It's not just about what you offer, it's about how you communicate the value in a way that connects with your audience's emotions and needs. Implement heart-aligned branding and marketing. Purpose drive intentions and your big picture why are the foundation of your messaging and everything expands from there.  Mindful marketing is the way forward. Rather than judging yourself when strategies don't work instantly, take a curious, data-driven approach and refine over time. What is your big assumption? What's stopping you from marketing is likely on the other side of your big assumption.  When you come to your work with a true desire to help organic marketing happens. People will share their results with others and market for you!  People feel supported. Heart-based marketing lets people know they are welcome and working with you is safe because you provide an encouraging and supportive space. Start with empathy and compassion. You can't market what you don't understand. Starting with your customers' needs and concerns first, will make all of your marketing efforts more effective. Busyness can keep you from being effective. Are you busy doing things that aren't sales producing? Are activities keeping you from making true connections that will lead to sales?

In this engaging conversation, Joe Morton and Jeremy Howlett explore the pervasive issue of busyness in modern life and its impact on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. They discuss the importance of finding stillness, prioritizing what truly matters, and reclaiming time in a world filled with distractions. Through personal anecdotes and insights, they emphasize the need for mindfulness and intentional living to foster a healthier, more fulfilling life. In this conversation, Joe Morton and Jeremy Howlett explore the themes of productivity, prioritization, and the importance of quiet time in our busy lives. They discuss strategies for managing time effectively, the significance of being present, and the necessity of defining success. The dialogue emphasizes the healing power of stillness and the need to prioritize mental and physical wellness to enhance overall productivity. This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Goal Crazy Podcast, Jason sits down with Marcey Rader—founder of Rader Co., TEDx speaker, and author of ‘Work Well, Play More'.

Now, she helps individuals and companies ditch hustle culture and focus on “health-powered productivity.”Marcey opens up about her “never enough” mindset, how answering emails at dinner cost her relationships, and why she quit extreme training after her body shut down. She shares actionable fixes like the “journalist exercise” to audit your priorities, capping goals at three, and redefining relaxation (hint: it's not meditation).

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures, we explore dissociation, its causes, and how to recognize it in one's life. We use real-life examples—such as a client's struggle with daydreaming to escape painful emotions—to show how dissociation often develops as a coping mechanism in response to overwhelming feelings or trauma. We also share simple grounding techniques and practical ways to reconnect with oneself to regain control and be more present in one's life.Here's the list of episodes related to today's discussion and why we highly recommend listening to them as well:#296 | How to Be More In Control of Your Feelings - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/296-how-to-be-more-in-control-of-your-feelings/id1511831621?i=1000655765112 #366 | What to Do When You Feel Like Giving Up - https://apple.co/4gwQrD8Evolve Article: https://bit.ly/3EuZ181Out of the Mud (OOTM): How to Be a High-Value Person: https://bit.ly/4hgqNUfLearn more about the On-Demand Therapy - #YouDoYou Program: https://evolveventurestech.com/therapy/_________________Connect with Emilia, Bianca & the EVOLVE VENTURES Community:Website: http://www.evolveventurestech.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/evolveventures/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/EvolveVenturesTech  (Public Page)Evolve Ventures Society (Private Facebook Group) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/457130589193794Emilia's IG - https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithemilia/Emilia's TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithemiliaBianca's IG - https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithbianca/Bianca's Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithbianca?_t=8gq3wqu4fAx&_r=1   Connect with Emilia & Bianca from Evolve Ventures for FREE: https://bit.ly/3THiEN4Show notes:(2:29) Dissociation and daydreaming(6:42) Forms of dissociation in everyday life(8:53) Why dissociation happens – an attempt to escape emotions(11:42) Busyness and forgetfulness(15:59) Tools to recognize and manage dissociation(19:37) Grounding techniques to stay present(23:30) Outro***Leave them a 5-star review if you felt their energy, became inspired, or felt as though the value was added to your life in your EVOLUTION.(Stay tuned for this coming Monday's episode!)

In this installment of our Biofield Anatomy series, we dive into the Root Center on the RIGHT side—the energy center that fuels forward movement, action, and clarity. When in balance, this center empowers you to move confidently toward your goals. When it's out of balance, you may experience relentless busyness, overthinking, and even physical discomfort such as right-sided hip or sciatic pain and insomnia. We'll explore how early conditioning, societal pressures, and internalized beliefs create these energetic blocks—and how a powerful tool, the 144 Hz tuning fork, can help release deep tension and restore equilibrium. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The role of the right root center in driving action and momentum. How imbalances can manifest as overthinking, constant busyness, and physical symptoms. The impact of early life experiences and societal expectations on your energy patterns. How the 144 Hz tuning fork serves as a potent tension-buster, helping to reset your energy. Practical steps to ground yourself, pause overthinking, schedule rest or play, and affirm your self-worth.

Hello Friend 1. Know Your Purpose One thing that sets unbusy people apart is that they are crystal clear about their purpose. They've taken the time to figure out what really matters to them—what legacy they want to leave, what goals they want to pursue, and how they want to spend their days. When you know your purpose, you gain clarity. It becomes easier to filter out distractions because you know what to say yes to—and more importantly, what to say NO to. Take a moment to ask yourself: What's my mission in this season of life? What goals truly align with the life I want to create? When you're guided by a clear purpose, you'll find it easier to resist the countless opportunities and demands pulling at you daily. You'll stay focused on what matters most. 2. Remember: Busyness is a Choice This one's a tough pill to swallow, but it's empowering. Busyness is a choice. Yes, there are external demands on your time—jobs, parenting, commitments—but ultimately, you decide how to structure your days. Even when life feels overwhelming, you still have the ability to take control of your schedule. Maybe that means saying no to extra obligations that don't align with your priorities. Or maybe it means reassessing whether the things keeping you “busy” are really worth the energy you're giving them. You are not a victim of busyness. You are in control. 3. Value Rest as an Essential We live in a culture that treats rest like it's a luxury, when really, it's a necessity. Rest is not laziness—it's what allows you to recharge and show up as the best version of yourself for the people and things you care about most. Think about it: Rest improves our health, strengthens relationships, reduces stress, and even makes us more productive. But if we don't intentionally make space for it, rest gets crowded out by the busyness of life. Here's your reminder to build rest into your routine: Take five minutes in the morning to pray, meditate or just breathe deeply before diving into the day. Schedule downtime for yourself and your family, whether that's a Sunday afternoon at home or a full Sabbath day of rest. Guard these moments of margin as fiercely as you would any other important commitment. I am usually in bed by 9 and natural wake up around 5:00, that might change a little on weekends, but I make 8 hours a priority as I know the significance of sleep and the role it plays in all areas of our lives. Rest is not a reward for finishing your to-do list. It's the fuel that keeps you moving forward with intention and clarity.   Remember, busyness is not inevitable—it's a decision you make. And when you choose to prioritize purpose, embrace your power to say no, and make rest a non-negotiable, you can unbusy your life and create space for what truly matters. So let me ask you: What's one thing you can let go of this week to create more margin in your life? Put it into practice, and see how it shifts your mindset and your days. I can't wait to hear! God Bless! Monica

John brings up the concept of inner ages and how unresolved childhood trauma can surface in adult relationships. It is important to create space for our younger selves and having honest conversations about the needs and fears that arise. We also discuss the fragility of the world and how it can affect individuals and relationships.  Learn more from John here - https://wildatheart.org/ Takeaways Busyness can take a toll on relationships, leading to a lack of leisure time and personal well-being.
