EP 199: QUICK HIT: The Busy Trap

Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! This week’s quick hit episode dives deep into The Busy Trap. That overwhelming cycle where staying constantly busy feels like the only path to success. Inspired by real conversations from the club’s August group coaching session, I unpack the limiting beliefs that keep so many high-achieving women stuck in patterns of overwork, guilt, and self-sabotage. We explore how stories about laziness and productivity can quietly undermine our goals, and why it’s so important to examine the narratives we tell ourselves about rest, ambition, and what it really means to be successful.

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t get out of your own way or struggled to balance downtime with drive, this episode offers practical insights and the tough love you need to start shifting your mindset—for good. Tune in for a candid exploration of why being busy isn’t always better, and how giving yourself permission to pause can be the most powerful move you make.

Key Takeaways:

• Importance of “being” over just “doing”
• The stories we tell ourselves versus what’s actually happening
• How controlled downtime is different from avoidant “numbing out”
