When Life is TOO Busy // Q&A with Beth and Steph
14/08/2024 Duración: 50min.... but I'm too busy! How many times have we found ourselves using our business as an excuse for why we can't do things?

Being busy seems like a norm or standard for feeling productive. But at what expense? We want to take a sec from our busy lives to chat with you and invite you to *rest* How do you handle feeling overwhelmingly busy? Do you have boundaries that you've implemented so that being busy doesn't become your identity? We'd love to hear from you! Join the convo Tuesday at 1pm ET
