In this week's Waking Up from Breaking Up (WUBU) episode we interview my neighbour, Lauren Mills.

Lauren is a career-oriented person whose professional ambition and journey have taken her to numerous career endeavours but also shares the downfall of her ambition and busy lifestyle.

The busy culture is a paradox! It offers both benefits and drawbacks. On one hand, it can bring productivity, motivation, and a sense of purpose. But on the other hand, it can also have negative consequences on our well-being. The sense of accomplishment and the feeling of being engaged can provide a boost to our self-esteem and overall satisfaction. While busyness can be invigorating, excessive busyness can lead to negative consequences for our health. When we're constantly busy, we often neglect self-care, rest, and relaxation. This can result in chronic stress, anxiety, and even burnout. Our mental, emotional, and physical well-being can suffer as a result.

Listen to the episode to get advice on how to change the trajectory of your busy lifestyle and focus on having a balance lifestyle.
