Do you ever feel like your worth is tied to how much you can get done in a day?

In this heartfelt episode, we explore why so many women in midlife live in constant motion—doing, helping, fixing, producing—and how that busyness can quietly disconnect us from our joy and purpose. Vicki shares gentle truths, personal insight, and three powerful steps to begin trading hustle for heart and busyness for a life that actually feels good.

You’ll learn:

• Why “being busy” became a badge of honor (and how to lay it down)
• How to identify the beliefs that keep you stuck in over-functioning
• What it looks like to create fulfillment on your terms

If you’ve been craving white space, rest, and a deeper connection to yourself—this episode is for you.
