Busy doesn’t always mean productive — so why are we still chasing it? In this episode, I’m unpacking the productivity myth that keeps so many solo business owners overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle that doesn’t actually move their business forward.
We’ve been sold the idea that the busier you are, the more successful you must be. But the truth? A full calendar doesn’t necessarily mean progress — it just means you’ve filled your time. I share why I ditched “busyness” as a badge of honour, how I restructured my business to work fewer hours and feel more fulfilled, and the importance of focusing only on the actions that actually make a difference.
We’ll talk about productivity guilt, daily non-negotiables, tracking your energy (not just your time), and letting go of unnecessary tasks that drain you. If you’ve been stuck in overwork, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reassess, and create a business that gives you both time freedom and financial success — without burning out.
✨ Being busy isn’t the goal. Feeling good in your business is.
