Are you exhausted from always being busy — but somehow can't stop? You might not have a willpower problem. You have a nervous system problem.
In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, I'm breaking down the real reason you feel addicted to busyness — and why "just relax" has never worked for you.
You'll discover: ✅ The 3 types of busy people (which one are you?) ✅ Why your brain is literally wired to crave chaos and constant stimulation ✅ Why checking your phone 205 times a day is making your stress worse — not better ✅ 3 small, manageable steps to start rewiring your nervous system toward stillness
Whether you're a Buzz Addict chasing your next task, a Burnout who desperately wants to rest but can't seem to stop, or someone using busyness to avoid uncomfortable feelings — this episode is for you.
The best part? This isn't a character flaw. It's biology. And biology can be changed.
