🔥 Are you addicted to being busy? 🔥
In this powerful episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, I talk with Peggy Sullivan—keynote speaker, author of Beyond Busyness, and creator of the “Busy-Busting Framework.” Peggy shares her story of chasing success until burnout, heartbreak, and a stress-related heart attack forced her to redefine what success really means.
Through her research and corporate work with companies like Google and Bank of America, she’s proven that productivity and happiness don’t have to be enemies.
🎧 Together, we explore how to:
✨ Break free from time poverty and reclaim joy
✨ Build happiness rituals that boost productivity
✨ Align with your core values to live more meaningfully
✨ Regain up to seven hours a week by subtracting what doesn’t serve you
Peggy shares her deeply personal wake-up calls—from burnout and strained relationships to radical life redesign—and the research that birthed her Busy-Busting Framework, a practical, three-step methodology to move from time poverty to time wealth.
You’ll learn how to subtract low-value tasks, create daily happiness rituals that boost focus and productivity, and lead with values (not just time management) so your calendar matches what matters.
We dig into:
Why hustle culture keeps high achievers stuck—and how to get off the hamster wheel
The science of micro-moments (think 90 seconds of joy) to reset your brain and energy
Values vibing: energy management, growth, and human connection as performance drivers Eye-opening stats: 75% of people skip basic self-care; 64% overstuff their schedules
Real stories from Blue Cross Blue Shield and beyond that prove people-first leadership wins
Peggy’s next leap: a TEDx talk in Johannesburg (Nov 2025) on choosing meaning over mayhem Peggy’s work has helped individuals, teams, and Fortune 500s—including Google, Bank of America, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Ingram Micro—achieve more by doing less.
If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time,” this conversation is your permission slip to pause, realign, and thrive. Listen now to reclaim your time, energy, and joy—one small step at a time.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
