In Episode 2 of the Grit & Grace “Alice in Wonderland” series, Donagh unpacks the White Rabbit as the symbol of urgency culture. The always rushing, always behind, always reacting White Rabbit and why “busy” can quietly become an identity rather than a strategy.

This episode explores what urgency is often hiding in small business and everyday life: underpricing, weak boundaries, lack of systems, avoidance of difficult decisions, and a calendar that is full but not necessarily productive. You’ll learn how urgency affects your team, your clients, your wellbeing, and your profitability, plus practical ways to replace frantic effort with focused rhythm through prioritisation, time blocking, and a simple weekly structure.

You’ll also receive one clear action to take this week and a reflection prompt to help you identify what is truly urgent versus what is simply loud.
