Busy doesn’t mean productive. And exhausted doesn’t mean successful.

In this episode, Peggy Sullivan — former corporate executive turned researcher and speaker — shares what 12 years of data revealed about time poverty, burnout, and the hidden damage of hustle culture.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s never enough time, like your calendar is packed but your goals aren’t moving, this conversation will feel both validating and empowering.

Peggy breaks down:

• What “time poverty” really is
• How chronic busyness damages health and relationships
• The productivity myth that keeps high-achieving women stuck
• Why multitasking actually lowers performance
• How to subtract low-value commitments
• Small micro-steps that rebuild clarity and confidence

We also explore how busyness can become a habit — even an addiction — and how to retrain your brain to choose meaning over mayhem.

This episode is for female entrepreneurs, leaders, and women in midlife reinvention who are ready to stop hiding in busy and start leading with intention.

Because you don’t need a crisis to change. You need clarity.
