In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth tackle the common yet often unspoken issue of glorifying busyness.

Or did it sneak into our lives during childhood or adulthood?

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.
