Busy is the New Lazy, and it’s costing you.

In this episode of Beneath the Busy, Lauren Davis invites you to take a breath and get brutally honest: 

Is all that busyness really necessary, or is it just a convenient cover?

We unpack:

  • Why we wear “busy” like a badge of honour
  • The myth of productivity and its hidden emotional cost
  • How staying constantly in motion keeps us disconnected — from ourselves and from what matters
  • And how even the smallest intentional pause can change everything

If you’re tired of the hustle-but-not-alive feeling, this one's for you.

Because maybe the bravest thing you can do today… is stop.
