Show notes

It’s time to get off the hamster wheel that’s leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed. If the idea of “doing nothing” feels almost painful and you feel uncomfortable when you’re not busy, this episode is the wake-up call you need. Today, Mel unpacks one of the most common addictions that you probably have never heard of before: the addiction to busyness and stress. Here to give more research and advice is Dr. Scott Lyons, a medical doctor, psychologist, and world-renowned trauma expert. Dr. Lyons explains why over-scheduling every second of your day and constantly feeling “not enough” unless stretched to the limit is keeping you disconnected. By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable steps to break free from the cycle and regain control of your time, energy, and peace of mind.
