24. Overcoming the Barrier of Busy

I’m so glad you’re here—because today’s episode is all about something we all wrestle with at some stage: the barrier of busy.
In our fast-paced, high-expectation world, being “busy” has become a default state—and, for some, even a badge of honour. But when we unpack it, we often find that constant busyness is masking something deeper: a lack of clarity, overcommitment, or even a disconnection from what really matters.

In this episode, we’ll explore how the barrier of busy shows up in our lives and leadership—and how to overcome it with intention, clarity and practical strategies.

🧭 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
• Why busyness can be a comfort zone—and how it can quietly sabotage progress
• How to recognise when “busy” is a distraction from what really matters
• Practical strategies to create space, set boundaries, and reclaim your time
• Simple mindset shifts to help you move from reactivity to intention
• Reflective prompts to support you in prioritising your values and energy

Whether you're a leader, a business owner, or simply someone feeling stretched too thin, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical tools to help you step out of the overwhelm and into a more focused, values-aligned way of working and living.
