68 Busy Isn’t a Badge: The Power of Slow Living And Doing Less.

Have you noticed how often people ask, “Keeping busy?” And how it’s almost always said like a good thing? Somewhere along the line, “busy” became synonymous with “successful,” “worthy,” “productive,” even “important.” As if our value lives in how many plates we’re spinning.   If you’re feeling stretched thin, running on adrenaline and coffee, wondering why rest never quite feels restful anymore… this episode is for you.   Today on I Love Me The Podcast, we’re going to slow everything down. We’ll talk about what happens when we stop equating busyness with value, and start exploring what it really means to live — not just exist in overdrive.   So if your nervous system could use an exhale... you're in the right place.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/09/03/ep-68-busy-isnt-a-badge-the-power-of-slow-living-and-doing-less/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I’ve been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.   While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I’m known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I’m the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.   Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.
