We wear “busy” like a badge of honour — but what’s it really costing us?

In this week’s episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I’m joined by Peggy Sullivan, author of Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less. Peggy’s research and her own hard-won lessons reveal what she calls time poverty—that constant feeling of not having time for what really matters.

Together, we dig into why busyness has become the default mode for so many women leaders—and how to shift from autopilot to intentional action. 

✨ Episode Highlights

• The truth about “time poverty” and why so many founders fall into it
• Peggy’s 3-step Busy Busting Framework for creating more time and joy
• Why happiness isn’t a destination—it’s a leadership strategy
• The 4 core values that drive fulfillment and sustainable success
• How micro-habits can transform your productivity and peace

Because success isn’t about doing it all—it’s about doing what actually matters.
