Being Busy Became My Identity (And It Ruined Me)
In this solo Lisa’s Take episode of Brother Sister Whatever, I talk honestly about how busyness became my identity, why it was rewarded, and how it slowly disconnected me from myself.
This isn’t about laziness or doing less for the sake of it.
It’s about noticing when “busy” becomes avoidance, protection, or a way to not sit with what we actually need.
We get into:
Why being busy is praised (especially for women)
How productivity can turn into emotional armor
The fear that shows up when everything finally gets quiet
Why rest feels uncomfortable instead of restorative
What I’m trying to unlearn now — in real time
If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down…
Or wondered who you’d be without the constant doing…
This one’s for you.
