You feel the need to constantly ‘do’, to be in motion. You feel guilty when you stop, rest, or need a break. Why?
The simple, and uncomfortable answer is that being busy hides our deeper fears. We use it as a safety blanket for our egos even though it really signals burnout and walls us off from intimacy with others and with ourselves.
Today, Maren & Stephanie dive deep down the rabbit hole of personal value starting with a classic parable that reframes wealth and invites in enoughness, presence, and choice. They also talk about the difference between trading time for money and creating value NOT measured by hours - a pivot that changes more than pricing; it rewrites self-concept.
Big changes like retirement, layoffs, empty nests, and even an unexpected injury can strip away those roles we hide behind and put us face to face with who we are when the calendar goes quiet.
If you are squirming in that experience (or want to avoid feeling so lost), this powerful episode is for you.
This conversation will meet you where you are and walk with you to where you want to be.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to exhale, and leave a quick review to help others find us. Your stories and experiments matter.
We’d love to hear— what changed when you tried “enough?”
