About this episode

Michelle Tanner discusses the misconception that being busy equates to being valuable and shares her personal journey of redefining self-worth.

If you’ve ever felt the need to prove you’re still “busy” when you’re not behind the chair, you’re not alone. I used to do this all the time. In this episode, I share how stepping away from visible work messed with my sense of value, and why learning to stop explaining myself changed everything.
