Why Do We Idolize Being Overworked? Finding Balance in a Busy World

The glamorization of more is actually not the healthiest way for us to go about things.
Ever feel like you're drowning in to-do lists and never-ending tasks? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth tackle the common yet often unspoken issue of glorifying busyness. They dig deep into why society equates being busy with being important and valuable. Is it something we picked up from TV shows like 'Friends'? Or did it sneak into our lives during childhood or adulthood?
Steph and Beth share their personal journeys, reflecting on how they’ve wrestled with these pressures themselves. They discuss how they define success and how that has shaped their life choices. The episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it’s also about finding solutions. How can we carve out 'margin'—that essential downtime our hearts need to process emotions and experiences? The hosts offer practical tips and introspective questions to help you find your own balance.
So, if you're tired of the rat race and looking for a way to breathe, this episode is for you. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that might just change how you view your own busyness.
