#5: The Hidden Cost of Always Being in a Hurry | Carmen Goicoechea

Carmen Goicoechea didn't set out to become an expert on slowing down. She was doing the opposite — racing through projects, managing family life, and never truly stopping. Then a trusted colleague handed her a book, and everything shifted.Carmen walks Katiuscia through what she learned from “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer — and what she discovered about herself in the process. Carmen is a Women in Industry Award recipient and someone who has thought deeply about why we hurry, what it costs us, and what it actually looks like to stop.This one goes to places you might not expect. Carmen opens up about growing up as the oldest of five siblings, about creating a hurried household for her own daughters without realizing it, and about a deeply personal root — equating busyness with being loved.Pull up a chair. This is a conversation worth having.Also in this chat: the $75K happiness plateau, entertainment anxiety, what boredom actually was, and why Carmen says the antidote to hurry sickness might be as simple as five quiet minutes every morning.00:00:00 Opening Hook: "I Equated Busyness With Being Loved"00:01:25 Meet Carmen Goicoechea — Women in Industry Award Winner00:02:23 Carmen Discovers The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry00:07:04 When You Were Always in a Hurry as a Parent00:13:20 What Hurry Sickness Is — and Why It Wrecks Your Health00:28:50 Hurry Sickness Symptoms: Do You Recognize Yourself?00:33:42 How Hurry Kills Relationships, Love, and Wisdom00:46:06 How to Unhurry Your Life: Silence, Solitude, and Morning Quiet01:00:00 Contentment vs. Chasing More — The $75K Happiness Study01:14:24 Carmen Gets Personal: Unlearning Busyness as LoveIf this conversation stayed with you — follow It Stays Here on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, and leave a review.
