Episode 256: Busy or Avoiding? The Truth About Your Workload

We kick things off mid-real-life chaos, with Sacha juggling admin dramas , a perfect reminder that sometimes the small stuff can feel way bigger than it should.

And it sets the scene perfectly for today’s conversation…

👉 Are you actually busy… or are you avoiding the work that really matters?

In this episode, Ish and Sasha unpack the uncomfortable truth about busyness, how it can become a badge of honour, a distraction, or even an avoidance strategy.
