The Back-to-Busy Trap: How to Avoid Burning Out Before Fall

Does late August feel like slamming your foot on the gas? One moment you’re savoring summer; the next, your calendar is overflowing, and your energy feels scattered. That’s what I call The Back-to-Busy Trap—the cultural push to “make up for lost time” by jumping back into a frenzied pace.

In this episode of The Grounded Leader, we explore why this seasonal shift feels so jarring—and how Ayurvedic wisdom can help you transition into fall with steadiness instead of burnout. You’ll learn:

• Why September sparks the urge to overcommit (and how to resist it)
• The Ayurvedic view of the Pitta-to-Vata shift—and how it impacts your energy
• Practical routines to ground your mornings, protect your calendar, and create seasonal rituals
• A powerful mindset shift for leaders: Why busyness isn’t a badge of honor

If you’re ready to leave the hustle behind and enter fall feeling focused, calm, and in control, this episode is your roadmap.
