Busyness: The Badge We Can’t Stop Wearing
Update: 2025-11-07
Description
Why do we treat “busy” like a badge of honour?
In this NUGGETS episode, Pellegrino and Francois dive into one of the great modern addictions — busyness. From bees and lions to burnout and balance, they explore why constant motion makes us feel valuable, why mild stress quietly erodes creativity, and why slowing down often feels scarier than speeding up.
You’ll hear:
- Why “busy” became a modern status symbol
- How our brains confuse motion with meaning
- Why constant mild stress burns focus, empathy, and perspective
- The emotional armour underneath busyness — avoiding doubt, regret, and stillness
- The simple antidote: noticing
This is an invitation to pause, breathe, and notice what your mind does when you finally stop.
Because the smartest people don’t just know how to move — they know when to stop.
