Hey there, sunshine! Welcome back to the Neurodivergent Creative Podcast. I'm your host, Caitlin Fisher, and today we're diving deep into a topic that affects us all: the glorification of being busy.

In our fast-paced world, it often feels like being busy is a badge of honor. We're constantly hustling, striving, and filling our schedules to the brim. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? In this episode, we'll explore the culture of busyness, the dangers of glorifying it, and how you can reclaim your life by finding balance.

TL;DR aka THE GIST:

In a world that glorifies busyness, it's essential to take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. Remember this: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BUSY ALL THE TIME!" Embrace a balanced life, one that includes work, rest, play, and self-care. Finding that equilibrium is the key to living a more fulfilling and joyful life in this crazy, hectic world.

So, next time someone asks you how you're doing, let go of the need to say, "I'm good, but really busy." Instead, proudly declare that you're taking steps to nourish your body and soul, finding contentment in the spaces between the chaos. Love yourself, mean it, and prioritize what truly matters.
