About this listen

In this heartfelt and relatable conversation, Christy and Marti unpack what really lies beneath the habit of being too busy and overly responsible.

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I just can’t stop,” or “If I don’t do it, who will?” this episode is your permission to pause.

Together, we explore how busyness can become a coping mechanism, a way to feel safe, needed, and in control, even as it drains our energy and disconnects us from our true selves. We also dive into the nervous system response that happens when we finally stop “doing,” and share practical, somatic tools to help your body learn that stillness can be safe.

This episode is a gentle invitation to stop carrying what was never yours to hold and to rediscover the joy of being rather than doing.

Rest isn’t laziness, it’s repair. Your worth isn’t measured by how much you do, but by how deeply you’re willing to be with yourself.
