11 | This ONE Excuse Is Keeping You From Prioritizing Peace in Your Daily Schedule


Listen Later

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.
