You were there, you showed up, you did all the things — and somehow in the middle of all of it, you went missing.In this episode, Kathy explores one of the most honest conversations she's been having lately: the relationship between busyness, values, and what it means to live a life that actually feels like yours. Drawing on research from Columbia Business School and the wisdom of Brene Brown, she unpacks why busyness has become a status symbol — and what it's costing us underneath the badge.She also shares a question from a client that stopped her cold: How do I know I'm doing it? What are the signs that I'm actually living from my values? The answer becomes a warm, honest framework for celebrating the evidence of your own growth — something high-achievers rarely give themselves permission to do.Whether you are in the middle of a big transition, feeling the weight of a life moving at life speed, or simply wondering whose values you've been living — this episode is a cup of coffee with a friend who has something important to share.Topics discussedWhy 'I'm too busy' is a values statement, whether we mean it to be or notThe Columbia Business School research on busyness as a status symbolWhat Brene Brown calls 'the armor of crazy-busy'Why transitions are one of the most powerful times to do a values assessmentThe 7 signs that your values are actually working in your lifeHow your body is tracking your values in real timeThe one truth worth keeping: you choose your valuesView extended shownotes hereRECEIVE the attention you need to reconnect with your purpose.
