Let's talk about the notion of "busyness"... Have you, like us, found yourself complaining about being so crazy busy? Like, "good, but SO busy..."? In this episode, we're breaking down the idea that "Busy" is some sort of badge of honor we wear. We're talking about the ways people regularly misuse the idea of being “busy". We explore how people (us, too) often use the term as a reflex excuse instead of saying what they REALLY mean, and we share how breaking the habit of "busyness" can truly help you live better.   Links referenced in this episode:  https://www.johnshopkinshealthreview.com/issues/spring-summer-2016/articles/the-cult-of-busy www.betterwithsisters.com/podcast
