#62 Diminishing Returns: When More Effort Gets You Less

In this episode, we’re exploring a topic that hits close to home for so many of us: the relentless drive to stay busy and why it’s so hard to step away—even when we know we need to.

I’ll share why this season, I’m challenging myself to rest with intention and create space for joy, stillness, and meaningful connection. We’ll dive into the sneaky mindset that equates busyness with success, and I’ll unpack how the law of diminishing returns shows up in both our work and personal lives.

You’ll learn:

• Why busyness often feels like a badge of honor.
• How to spot when your extra effort is no longer serving you.
• Simple ways to be more intentional with your time, especially during the holidays.

If you’ve ever felt like your productivity defines your worth or struggled to unplug during a busy season, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now and give yourself permission to slow down, recharge, and show up as your best self when it really matters.
