I identify as busy
from Kind of Blunt · host Adam Williams
I Identify as BusyBeing busy has quietly become part of how we introduce ourselves. A default response. A badge of effort. Sometimes even a personality.In this episode, I talk about the performance of busyness. The way exhaustion can feel like credibility, calendars can feel like proof, and saying “I’m busy” can be easier than saying how we actually are.What starts as a bit of a rant slowly softens into something kinder. A reflection on why we cling to being busy, what it protects us from, and how we might allow ourselves to rest without having to earn it.No fixing. Just noticing.
